An interesting post, I had not know about that series. Great result for you. I've not raced iRacing at all for a long time, but I'm planning to try some of the slower cars the next season. Bad that it would not help with with the license promotion..

Well done Verner, to finish in the top 5% is excellent :yahoo:

Nice job! :)

Who won the series? Is it someone we might have heard about before?

Cool! :)

I think Max Dell'Orco (or whatever his name is..) did pretty well too. I hear he's a hotshot in the iRacing world. Think he recently joined Orion.

I'm going to run the Corvette this season. It's a great car and it looks like I can drive it without problems. It feels like the slower you drive it the faster you go...:)

Had a great race tonight. 25 Laps at VIR full. Not very close racing, but had to stay focused the whole race due to people coming up behind me. Ended third of 19. (I love those posision lights on the cars :)) The sound, handling and feel is all I could wish for. I love it. :yahoo:

The Corvette is one of the worst cars I've ever had the displeasure of driving. Never have i driven a car outside of rFactor that snaps away at the rear with no idea its coming like that one does. If the tire model is right I'll eat my own feet.

...luckily to bring a sense of balance.. the Indycar is one of the best cars I've ever driven... absolutely fantastic!    I'll be re-subbing next week just so i can race it.  Fantastic stuff.  Without a doubt its the best high powered single seater I've ever driven.

Nice to hear from you again Moose!

I don't agree about the Corvette, but I agree that the Dallara is fun. (still in the 100% Club)  But I don't like winged cars that much so I'll skip it for now.

I feel that the Corvette should not be overdriven. Just be gentle with it, and it will go fast.

I will of course chip in for your wheelchair.:D

So that's where you've been lately, Stu! Thought we'd lost you to the world of flight sims. :byebye:

I hear they released a tire physics update for the Corvette. Did that make it any better, you think?

And what about the Mazda? How do you like that compared to the Netkar cars?

A lot of people (simknowitalls) report it to be worse.
I did not drive it more than five laps at Mosport with the old physics. (MÃ¥tte reise  pÃ¥ hytta fredagen :))

You had actually lost me to flight sims and illness :)   I had to try out the new cars in iRacing though and was very impressed with the Dallara.  Way more so than the Lotus. It's definitely good enough to get me to re-sub for a month before i get bored of it again :D

The Corvette I've only driven since the update so i have no idea if it's better than before or not.  If it IS better then it must have been a complete joke before as its still horrible.  I'm so glad i get to try before i buy.:)

 As for the Mazda....   I haven't tried it since the new build so its not really fair to comment.  I absolutely hated it before the new build.  I'll give it a try later and see whats changed.  I always felt netKars singles seaters were streets ahead of the Mazda in all respects.  better tires, better feeling of the weight of the car, not the complete twitchfest that the Mazda is (was?)  The Mazda not only felt very wrong it sounded horrible and was just a bit arcadey compared to netKars SS's.  Hopefully it's better now...


@Vobler, Thanks for the wheelchair offer :D  I wont be needing it until you point me in the direction of the proof that there's nothing wrong with the tire physics though :sideways:

All the best
Simknowitall :lmfao:
