Thanx, and thanx @Shannon Flynn for uploading the track to the RD resource manager.

See you guys at the top of the hill.

Well, you KNOW I'll be taking a shot at making it to the summit in this event

I was sure, I know the track, but it is something compleletly different from rFactor1 version, which we drove couple weeks ago at VHC. I am learning it again

Shannon Flynn · May 20, 2015

Guess you "learned it again" huh, Matej?

Joao Fernandes · May 20, 2015

This is super fun but really hard to master.
Every time i think i know which corner is coming up i'm in for a surprise and there goes the little Palatov through the mountain.

Gijs van Elderen · May 20, 2015

Jip, But it's rewarding if you make it above the tree-line.

That's the part were you don't want to screw up.

April Dillon · May 21, 2015

Wow, that torque steer is horrible! I can't remember the last time I had to fight a car this much. Even on the straighter parts of the course it's difficult to line it up for the next corner properly with how it wanders.

There's a lot of help in the diff preload. I settled on 3 for my current PB. It's a good way to adjust the ways the car yaws in corners in response to throttle input. But in my experience, too high makes the car understeer with surprises (I tried as high as 6, way too much)

I'm still blaming the crest in the road for a majority of the tighter-handling cars' woes on this course.
I think I've recruited someone to help bring the crest down to a reasonable level. Fingers crossed!
