SPECIAL Race night

A Special race night is planned for this coming Friday, 17 April 2015, driving different cars on various tracks to determine which are the best suited to replace the current Nippons.
All are welcome to join us, that are those with Exdom power. If you cannot join the server while in race mode maybe, try joining a few minutes later.
Also join us on TeamSpeak as we will discuss the cars, the handling etc.
Christo and Kevin.

Im in! See you guys then!

We will try the Extremes, the F3's and the classics as well as any others we find.
See you there if you can make it!

Cool, scheduled for loadshedding between 18:00 - 20:00, will try and join when Eskom allowes

Johannesburg Historic is up first with the FORMULA 3 cars.

So... how chuckable are those F3 cars!?

We will decide early in the week which cars we will be using.
Thank you to the drivers that helped us test last night.

Those Formula 3 cars are totally chuckable!!!

Have to say as most know i find the Formula 3 cars brilliant. The V12 cars are also great fun to drive.

I actually found the Metalmoro ok, i know some did not like it but i think on a better track its actually not too bad.

My Nippon replacement choices would be...

1: Formula 3
2: Formula V12
3: Formula Classic.

A few guys tried them offline too, will try get them to all view their opinions on the cars.

Lol, agree, the F3's are most definitely chuckable

We had a hell of a lot of fun on Friday night with the testing. Very enjoyable

My choices would be...
1: Formula 3
2: Formula V12
3: Formula Classic.
The Formula 3 is not as exciting as V12, but I think we will have closer racing with the F3's. It seems they are also suitable to a lot of tracks.

I must say Reiza did a good job with these single seaters. So enjoyable to drive.

I also like the Formula Extremes, but that 8th gear disappearing act disqualifies them for racing.

There is one more Mod we will be trying......I will upload it today sometime. Please test it as well.

F3 should be used. They are great to drive

Here is a link to a mod we would like you to try...

NEW LINK POSTED

Thanks to Christo for the time and effort in getting it fixed and ready to drive.

Try them on a few tracks please guys and give us feedback. We feel these are the front runners to replace the Formula Nippons.

Hey guys, that RAR file seems to be missing the Sounds folder.

Marko, it probably uses default game sounds then, lots of mods do this!

Gave it a quick test drive. First impression: loads of grip, great acceleration out of the turns. Much easier to catch than the F V12.
Very chuckable!

I get no engine sounds at all Denis.

There should be a sounds folder along with car and talent. 3 folders in all.
I hope Christo didn't forget to add them. If he did, we will upload the sounds this evening.

EDIT:
I am uploading the sounds folder now. It's 45 mb.
You will find it in the LOBBY FILE BROWSER of TS.
Give me 20 minutes

It's called Sounds.rar

Thanks Kevin. Could you do the Talent folder too please, also missing.

Is it electric? Stealth mode? https://youtu.be/sV7Urjx7z7U
Must say, the cars look and feel great.

Gave the cars a go, i have sounds but external sounds are weird!
Cockpit view is also a bit weird, drivable but odd.
Lots of grip but when it power slides it feels a bit weird. Much better than the Nippons i think, but i still prefer the Formula 3 for realism and feedback. Another thing...these cars overheat after a lap even on default radiator size of 6 the engine goes red!!!

They not bad, certain aspects i think are nice and a GP2 series sounds good but they still feel a bit off to me. Tried them on Interlagos and Bahrain, with traction off and traction on low. Throttle response feels good and sounds nice...but just how the car slides feels weird when traction is off and these cars have no traction in real life...hmm i think this comes in 3rd place for me in the 4 cars we got on the list!

1st : Formula 3
2nd : Formula V12
3rd : GP2
4th : Formula Classic

Marko, i noticed in your video your car is smoking after the lap too!

I noticed that too, thought I'd just over-revved it.

Folder uploaded.
