Has anyone mastered T6 yet (The long, sweeping, downhill left hander)?

That is indeed a tricky one and being a blind corner doesn't help either. It's great "fun" in the rain! I predict a few off track moments around there.

I did think of using the short version of the track that avoids that section but it does add a bit more interest to the lap. Same goes for using the chicane towards the end of the lap - I think there'll be a bit of 2 wheel action over those kerbs!

Nice video Rich. Good racing last night, missed R1 due to having a non responsive wheel, had to reboot at the start of Qually (or use the controller), thought it might let me rejoin qually, and get one flying lap in, but no. Still fun to watch the action. Might wear night vision goggles for the next race, some corners i forgot where i was.

Did a short test run - it’s absolutely nightmaire. 40 min and 0 clean laps.
@IfAndOr what about track limits? There are many corners you can go through and get advantage over those who stood on track.
 
Long day at work so I'm a bit tired for racing today. Haven't tried COTA yet...I recall trying it once before in a random lobby, realised there were far too many corners to learn in time for race start, and decided to leave it for another day! Will give it a go this weekend at some point.

Ah COTA, I'm glad you're enjoying it. :D
It's not one of my favourites but I thought the twisty nature of the national layout would suit these cars.

Indeed they can be abused when the limits are off.

I'd like everyone to TRY and stick to the track as much as possible. However due to the nature of the cars and track I'll understand if you do go out of limits on occasions. But DON'T cut the corners to overtake others, give the spot back.



A possible idea for the next series. Worth watching.

Its quite easy to Simon, look for friends ghost. But with PC2 only lets you use 30, ghosts that are registered.

Circuit of the Americas

Austin's Circuit of the Americas (known as COTA for short) endured an at times difficult birth to emerge as one of the most impressive new circuits to grace the racing calendar in recent years.

Is this a cryptic clue, or are you just messing with us? That does look like great fun :D

While the Ford is usually my favourite, it's tendency to understeer has finally irritated me on COTA. It's still the quickest but the Audi & Maxi were more enjoyable to drive round. One of those tracks where you have to slow things right down until you get the hang of it.
 
I particularly like this one John. Classy.

Given the cars and track combination (plus a full room 👍) I was expecting more "incidents". While there were of course a few it didn't seem too bad from my perspective. Others might have a different story to tell. ;)

I actually quite enjoyed CotA for a change. I wouldn't fancy bigger faster cars around the national layout though.

It was as messy as usual from what I saw :lol: recall Max being sent into a triple barrel roll at one point.

It might be fun in muscle cars actually, in a challenging sort of way - managing their excess weight and power through all those technical sections. Plus it's Texas.

I don't think I'd mind the track so much if it wasn't for the sawtooth kerbs... They were deadly and difficult to avoid, such as in the esses section.

My rose tinted glasses are working a treat.

I did spot that. I thought Max was just showing off his acrobatic skills though. Perhaps I was wrong.

The kerbs, yes they were tricky. Sacrilege I know, but I just put the TC on high and it worked wonders.
