Still think that raceroom's dtm92 is the benchmark if it come's to emmersive simracing. I am not see raceroom as the overall perfect sim. There are so much more racing sim's today that have there own specific qualities.

^^This. They're my favourite cars in this sim by some margin. Great fun to drive, and always provide excellent racing in our club. Speaking of which, they're being used this Thursday.
Drive the ford capri on the nordschleife, and this car to is a blast to drive. The sound and the ffb is
On the latest, yes. An issue with the audi v8 is being fixed

I haven't had the opportunity to race these cars in a club event yet, but decided to take the E30 around Brands the other evening for fun. What a blast! I happened to look up beforehand how the gearbox worked as I wasn't sure whether I should use my H-pattern shifter or sequential. Luckily I found a video which explained they have a dog box, so it's a H-pattern shifter but you can do clutchless upshifts. Sure enough, after a few visits to the pits to get my gearbox repaired, I finally got the hang of it. Seems no clutch on the way up and then careful rev matching with the clutch on the way down works well, although a bit of heel-toe does no harm to keep the rear stable.
One thing I'm very curious about is how to left foot brake and operate the clutch? Is it even possible without a third foot?!

You can in theory blip the throttle exactly right on downshift to not need the clutch at all, even if the car doesn't have a dog box. I can't heel and toe to save my life *and* I've been left foot braking for years (since I didn't have a clutch), so that's the only option for me. The results vary depending on car. In R3E, I've only been mildly successful with this, and I confess I often just turn on auto clutch - I still clutch on upshifts, but I've got that safety net on downshifts, while still being able to H-shift and left foot brake.
I really should learn to heel and toe, but it's a similar case like it is with touch typing for me - I'd really love to learn that, but every time I try, I get quite frustrated with the fact that I'm basically voluntarily hobbling myself and I soon lose patience and go back to how I'm used to doing it, never sticking with it enough so I can actually start improving...
