Didn´t test it yet but it looks cool to have some lower-performance cars for a change

They not low performance KK, they doing about same times as DTM around Killarney....

Depends who's driving of course!

So it´s the same cars with different 3d models?

No, new cars.

yeah I mean, I wouldn´t expect the car in the picture to be even nearly as fast as a DTM. I would expect a quite different performance. We´ll see this evening anyway

No comments yet?
On my side it was a nice race, although I find these cars a bit "weird". But it became more fun as I got used to them.
R1 didn´t last too long... R2 I could keep a good pace and made up several positions (oddly enough, always due to my opponent´s mistakes or problems) until I went on to take what I call a "David Coulthard Style" win (didn´t have the pace to win, but found me in P1 for some reason ).
Well, it´s nice to win a race now and then

Well done KK... you found yourself in P1 cause blue flags don't seem to mean much anymore to certain drivers... even to a point where they are willing to drive you off track just to get the place back.

Disaster for me!!!
Qualified in POLE POSITION for both races, just to get kicked from the server with some 'error' message and sharing a pit box with someone else. I really looked forward to tight battles as the times were far less than a second for the front runners and above all I LOVE KILLARNEY. Will have to look into the pit box issues with the mod.

Was a disappointing evening with Christo having pit problems so close to race start for both races, also so many drivers not finishing.
I've noticed that the drivers that take a bit of time to practice, seem to drive much better and actually finish the race. The one's that arrive 10 minutes before or only practice 2 laps tend to crash almost straight away. Can't be much fun!
Then they say "I don't like the cars, they don't handle well." You haven't given them a chance...
A 4th and a 3rd were fine for me in the two races and thank you to all the drivers that took part.

Both my races were destroyed by the hidden catapult at the side of the track just before the back straight. i was fired about 30 metres into the air on both occasions, if you have nothing better to do watch the replay at 18:13 in Race 2
I found the cars to be quite dull without brakes and not really tunable.

I have no clue why your car flew Peter.
We have used this same track on a few occasions as you know. From DTM's to V8's etc. with no problem. Must be the car/track combo. Will look into this and sort it out.

I noticed in my replay that the car sunk down below track level before it was catapulted out.
I reckon the track designer put a hack in it for a larf!
I originally thought there were razor kerbs and my ground clearance was too low so I upped it  a bit. Go for a drive yourself

The same happened to me as with Peter while I was practicing... I spent a total of 5.8 secs in the air just tumbling about. Same spot. Definitely something up with this car mod combined with the track.

I joined when I managed to, and didn´t blame the car for my crashing at race1 . I do find them weird (it´s almost like some invisible force prevents them from spinning no matter what), which doesn´t mean that one can´t adapt and still have entertaining battles. Maybe the real counterparts are also like that, who knows. It felt a bit artificial to me anyhow.
But probably it´s just me: everybody here loves the V8s and I hate them for example

About the problems in the pits, I think we should make the usual list of who is driving what car. Many of us happened to have the same.
