Hope you don’t mind @Alex , I’ve changed the name of the thread. That one post has sparked a whole new obsession. So thanks, I think!
Anyway. I’ve moved on to phase two of the addiction process. I’ve bought the BMW GT4 and the next two non-free (the next couple of weeks use the free ones) tracks in the BMW 12.0 series. Um… and nordschleife. 😉
Just the normal one. There’s three versions you can buy and the one that gets used on iracing most is called something else. It incorporates the old Sudschleife as well. A track that’s actually not possible to drive in real life anymore, I believe.
I just wanted the ring. My theory is it’s a bloody good test track. Every kind of corner and straight imaginable. If I can drive that one consistently enough with no off-road excursions, then I’m ready to race whatever car I’m doing it in.
The beemer is actually quite tricky at the rear, and also has an annoying debounce on downshifts which makes rapid downshifting for tight corners actually quite hard; so I’m not ready to race it yet.
I’m going to run the Nordschleife a lot today in test drive mode and see if I can get it nailed. Currently low 8 minutes with a few mistakes. Thankfully test drive mode doesn’t affect ratings 🙂
