I’d like to try this, but I’m looking to buy 1 of the GT3 cars. I’m using the M4 in the Monday ACC championship, so wondered if there were any of the rf2 GT3s that you’d recommend? The whole car pack is a little pricey.

 

[Dan Rock]

In please

 

[Jan Larsen]

In as well

The M4 is the fastest, like in ACC (coincidence?) so thats a safe bet. As @Michael Rudolf proved, the Porsche is also fast in the right hands, but has a tendency to kill...the Corvette is very stable, the Ferrari has a s h i t default setup, the Aston is stable, the McLaren is fast in qually but eats rear tires in the race and the rest I cant remember.

Worth noting that the cars have gotten a BoP update together with the new tyres!

As noted in the post above, the GT3's have been BoP'd, so not sure what car is the best/easiest now.

I've not signed you up just yet, as we don't really use the beta-builds (release candidates) in rF2, and the "race against content you don't own" is currently in the beta-phase right now. The reason for this is that the beta-builds are updated more regularly, and this means we must take down all servers, update them, and get them up again for every update. Also, there has been beta/release-candidates before that have locked up servers and games, so we tend to stay on stable builds to be a bit more on the safe side.

They are aiming for a stable and "safe" release the 21st of February for the "race against content" build

Ah, no worries. I wasn’t sure if it had been fully implemented yet so I’ll wait until it is.

Thanks to @Jan Larsen for the run down on the cars, I’ll probably go with the safe bet
