I just got one question, why in Lamborghini spec series, diff is untunnable, driving AWD cars with stock diff in this game is just nightmare.

I’ve got no problem with the handling, it’s the tyre wear that’s the problem (at least everyone is in the same boat)

well true, thats why in all awd cars i tune diff to 75/0 75/0 95, otherwise tyres die too fast, and handling is just meh. but well they want to keep cars balanced

The medium length B600 Mid-Engine Series is fun.
Nice to have a street tires meta back where you can run circles around Rivals race tires builds.

Unfortunately the '92 NSX is too strong for the rest. Without it there would be a nice selection.

U forgot about the most broken car in this game :slight_smile: tho u need to use sport tyres to get max out of redline abuse in stock engine, but with how light this car is, on every track except maple u will finish on yellows.

I thought it’s rear-engine categorized as the 911s.
Then yeah, it’s easily the strongest pick.
A 50s car with modern sports car handling.

I quite fancied a go of the enduro race. 60 min round Maple in LMP cars. Then I thought about the insta kill it would do to my safety rating and had a word with myself. Will defo try the mid engine B. Sounds like fun.

Finishing the race without getting DQ’d (12 seconds of racing in an hour) would be some achievement round there in them cars.

Do you know what the Endurance categories are for the following weeks? I don’t see them listed on the blog or the patch notes.

Jesus, that Ferrari 458 Italia drives AWEFUL. It has nothing but understeer.

Nope, 550/718s were mid-engined (ahead of the rear axle line)
