P2 for me! Now which one though?

Sigma P1!!! Trust me, I've been driving it a ton and it's so much fun!

Also, DRS

 

[Kees Veenstra]

The Sigma P1 is much fun indeed, also sounds great. I noticed that the DRS works on the entire track, so not only in the DRS zones. Might be a bug then.

It works on all tracks all the time so you might be correct. Haven't verified it with another car yet though.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I have the feeling it only matches the speed of the MRX P2 with the wing open, if you leave it closed it feels slower, but can be me

I think you are correct. Also the rear end feels like it is on ice with the wing open, so definitely a bit of a gambit when you use it.

 

[The Almighty Snark]

The DRS is indeed bugged in the Sigma P1. Checked it with one of the formula cars and they function correctly. The problem is that normally if DRS is unavailable then you can see it in the lower right of the HUD in grey 'DRS'. If you are in a DRS zone that box will become orange, if you then active it, it becomes green. The Sigma P1 never shows orange, not in a DRS nor outside of it. But, you can activate DRS at any point and any time. Funny enough the AI does this too, so that's kinda interesting.

Yeah, I noticed the AI pretty much uses it every time they hit 6th gear!

Speed, and power! I've been trying to figure out if you can 360 no scope yourself through ea rouge with the DRS switch. So far not much success!

All in all i think that car is slower than the MRX without DRS

I think you are correct, though I shall claim premature moral victory on the basis that I look way cooler slipping and sliding all over Belgium!

 

[Sander van Eijk]

@Bram Hengeveld can you put me in the gte instead of the dpi that levels out the field a little bit more

 

[The Almighty Snark]

This is a view many of you will be seeing tomorrow!

So be careful lapping this moving obstacle

 

[Sander van Eijk]

still don't know if i can play thanks to a back injury, but is the p2 faster than the gte this time @Casper de Wit

Nope it's definitely slower with the Sigma P1 being the slowest vehicle on the grid, though I'd argue some of the most fun to drive.

that wing doesn't look in the brown trousers position

 

[The Almighty Snark]

There's already a distinct lack of grip as you crest Raddilion, I do not fancy my chances doing it without a rear wing!

so does this mean you are scared ?

 

[The Almighty Snark]

I am Dutch so yes, a minor incline or something that could be quantified as a hill scares me to bits! It's just... so unnatural

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Hey chaps - are we quite sure the Sigma is slower than the MRX? I tried it out and in about 3 laps I was almost 2 seconds quicker without using the DRS than my time in the MRX. I could just be completely pants in the MRX of course
