AMS2 Copa Classic B @ Goiania, Tuesday 18th October 2022

[Redvaliant]

This Tuesday sees the return of the bantam weight class of old bangers, the Copa Classic Bs, now with added Mini! These wee terrors throw front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, 4 speeds, 5 speeds and modest horse power into the mix and see what sticks.
Goiania is yet another hidden gem of a Brazilian track, featuring sweepers and tightening slower corners which combine for a great flowing lap.

Please sign me up, Daniel!

 

[Eric S]

Get me in!

Are their big differences between the cars? I would prefer the mini, but not sure if this is a good choice.

 

[Redvaliant]

Hi Guys, added. The only difference is in FWD or RWD preference. I've put up the practice server, and in my quick test of a few cars, they are all within about 1 second a lap. The Mini is awesome!

 

[Eric S]

I assume its the standard track? Do want to mention that this track is pretty big for this class especially as we will not be running with 20+ cars on it. It will be a pretty lone race for most of us.

If it's a shorter version? Please mention this.

 

[Redvaliant]

It's the full version. I've driven 1960s Mini Coopers around Kyalami classic in club races before....this is fine!

Put me down for a spot Daniel, although I have upgraded my Logitec G29 to a Fanatec Clubsport v2 with a Clubsport BMW M3 GT2 wheel and I haven't had much time with it yet, but the 10 mins I tried the difference was pretty dramatic. Will take a bit more settign up than my old Logitec to get the best from it I think.

Great update Tim. What wheelbase do you have?

Eric, I've got a CSW v2. FFB is totally different to my Logitech. The wheel also has vibration motors to add into the mix.

I never quite got the G29 to work anywhere near as well on PC as it seemed to on PS4. The likes of GT Sport really seemed to squeeze the best out of it

EDIT: the CSW is belt drive right? I'm guessing it's a lot lot smoother

Scott, Yes it's belt driven (dual belt I think) and so much smoother and a lot more powerful FFB, I had it set to 80% for G29, I've had to turn it down to 30% as it was getting painful after a few laps!

Hey Tim. That's are great upgrade. Did you go for a new one? I thought the new range of DD wheels would have superceded the Fanatec belt drive wheels. I have the CSL Elite and it was a big step up from my 10+ years of Logitechs. I got so tired of the gear noise/vibrations of the G wheels. Belt is better, but I'm ready to go to direct drive next, there's still too much harshness and vibrations on my wheel when its working hard.

Daniel, no finances restrict me to used kit at the moment, although I'm eyeing the new Moza bundle as possible future purchase.
