2014 Rolls-Royce impressions

It is a beast of a machine >:D

I absolutely love it.

It looks amazing - I want to love it, and drive it to Affinity level 25, but I haven’t found a tune that tames it enough for me yet …

Remember, this car IRL is stuffed to the gills with electronic wizardry: TCS, STM, ABS and so on. I tried driving it with the appropriate assists turned on, and lo and behold, it started acting like a proper Rolls. No drama, just stately elegance.

Truth be told, it’s a bit of a hooligan when ridden bareback, albeit a soft-spoken one.

It is a challenge to tune. I’ve got 4 of them for classes C through S. C and A seem to be the most controllable. I’m using “skywarp 72” tune for A class.

Reflections on the silver parts are a little low quality/resolution to be honest.

Ive been wondering when a Video game will ever feature an actual Roller. There are several games with “adaptations”, But this is just surreal. Painted in a flat black, with its stock rims, tint those windows slightly, and you have a real cruiser. many will go over the edge with the performance upgrades. new suspension, and new brakes to stop the thing. That’s all that needs doing. Its fast enough, loud enough (When inside?) and just sounds phenomenal. Cheers T10!

Hate to burst your bubble but no car in this game handles like it’s real world counter part. If they could People playing this game would be getting better than 07:00 laps with super cars.

I don’t think it drives to bad in c-class,i have Don Ente on my FL and you all know he is a great driver,well on the Indy oval i finally beat him with the Rolls. He will come back and kick my butt good now,lol.

What’s made me happy, is there’s been a few times not with these cars, but others, I’ve beat Helios’s times in Career. Beating his, and Phred’s. and Johns times, always make me feel pretty good inside xD

Without any tuning I managed to get in the top 7% in b-class with it on the top gear test track with a 2 minute build, which is pretty good for me. I must master this thing.
+EDIT
After quick application of the 3MT I shaved five seconds off my time and I’m now in the top 3%.

I think this car has some actual potential.

I like it. It’s deceptively fast. It just seems to quietly whoosh you along and before you know it you’re doing a ridiculous speed.

And it’s a C class car. A C class car that will do 212mph on Old Le Mans in STOCK form. Ridiculous!

Yup. Will post top 100 times on Old Le Mans easy. Smooth as butter!

Just TRY and turn or stop at that speed.

And THAT’S why it’s still in C…

I uploaded a couple for A class if u guys want to try them out. I’m not yet sold on the tune so feedback from you guys would be nice

Well I will give my own feedback on the car… The one with the sport cage is much smoother on corner entry and exit. What a blast to drive on bathurst all the way to bugatti circut. 5 races this morning and didn’t lose. I can now say I officially like this car.

I like it, not the best race car in FM5, but it makes me smile.

I tuned mine for B Class and managed to get 1,700 in the LB, as off yesterday, at The Old LeMans (got 207mph on the straight with a stock engine). Still working on the suspension setup. It’s heavy and I’m still hitting the race track at places like The Ring and Pargue.

I would love to have the Warith in Horizon 2, cool car for just cruising.

I used a no aero c class tune in the Rolls to beat a corner and chicane cutting Ford Focus on Spa. I had 3 clean laps - the only clean laps in the lobby…

It handles really well. But if you miss your braking point, look out lol.

This and the Q50 are my new lobby cars in c class.

I have a tune I made last night and I really like it. It is an A class and so much fun to drive. You can actually throw it into the corners and it stays quite stable without all those assists. I only use traction control. It is called MY A CLASS TUNE. Ya I know it’s very original. LOL I have tried several tunes for A class and could not find one I liked so I resorted to making my own. Let me know what you think as feedback is always good I. Possibly making it better. Happy racing to you all!!!

I ran Dan’s tune last night and it definitely tames the car through corners and makes it a whole lot more fun to drive. I will try the suggestion of driving it with TCS/STM on though, instead of just TCS.

I seriously couldn’t believe it when I saw it in the market place on top of that it was free! I would have paid even if it wasn’t. I absolutely love it and its pretty much all I drive now. I seriously hope they bring it to Horizon 2 as well!
