The Renault R5 Turbo....I remember I test drove it some months ago while I was downsizing my virtual garage and that car was a let go and not a keeper. Few used cars dealership rotations later I bought another one "just" to fill up my Nordschleife lap time board and.... The car feels fine now. (To me at least).

What a nice surprise that is! I guess along the way some update changed the suspension values and that made a difference?

Anyways... The car has that boxy style that screams 80's and we all love, it drives fine in the stock settings and comfort tyres. The body roll is just perfect and so is the power. The only bad thing I'd put my finger on it, would be the awful coloured interior. 😅

The lap:



 
Cat Power
Been using TCS on 2 and ABS default.
Moved to TCS 1 and ABS weak and find it quicker for me

Update !
After more testing i have reverted to TC 2 and ABS default as accepted slightly better overall especially on higher powered cars.

I adjusted the supension and differential on the Ferrari 308 rally car. It had too much stability, which led to some understeer issues, especially on tarmac. After the tweaks it got more responsive and driving on gravel is great fun.

That interior is a masterpiece. Far from being awful!
 
I did two 10 lap races at Le Mans in VR with my G29 wheel. The first was in the Jaguar group C car and I did a 3:40 fastest lap. The second race was in my trusty 962 Newman car. Fastest lap was 3:44. In VR with a DS5 I do a 3:37. I'm losing a lot of time with the wheel.

Finally decided to do an engine swap or two with everything upgraded to the max. Here are the first drives

Renault R8 Gordini


Encouraged by that experience, followed up with a Citroën DS21 (still on SS tires, I spent all my money in the upgrades 😂)


Both were surprisingly enjoyable to drive.
 
I took the Honda F1 race car to LeMans. It was fun to drive. Last time I took it out was about 6 months ago and I was doing a lot of sliding and spinning. This time I made sure to increase my braking distance to cut down on sliding. That helped a lot. I ran FM1 on RM tires and surprisingly I had a no rain race so I did a no stop race. Bought a couple of cars from UCD: Speed Six and some of the low mileage cars. Got 10k cr from a 4 😜🌟 🎫. Made my choices for the next GT WS race.
 
The Countach LP400 came to the LCD in a color I happen to fancy (that orange) and I finally pulled the trigger. I am blown away by how it drives. It reminds me a bit of the TVR Tuscan in the way it just punches forward in each gear, something about the very low weight, aggressive gear ratios (well, after the super tall first gear), and abundance of torque - the thing is quick! Around Deep Forest its nearly as fast in my hands on CS tires as a 996 GT3 is on SH tires and a full 5 seconds faster than a stock Porsche 930. I was not expecting that. And forget about the Ferrari Testarossa, it's not even in the same league. I also wasn't expecting it to be as lovely to drive as it is....you kind of just smear it around the course in delicate four wheel drifts. The interior is also a far nicer thing to look at than the later Countach variants. This thing is awesome!

It's arguably much better looking as well (than the 25th Anniversary). I've always had a soft spot for the OG Countach. It has a much more pure design language. Simple and elegant.

For me its not arguable, it's simply a fact. The LP400 is a landmark piece of industrial design that later models confused, particularly the "high body" cars which really messed with the proportions.
 
In stock form this beauty has 103 horsepower.

Add 431 more horses, remove around 400 pounds of body weight and do some other expensive tweaks, then replace the Comfort tires with Sports Soft and the result is a Fun Machine! Steer-By-Throttle™ is a big part of the fun.

Here it is today, driven badly, but with enthusiasm.
