Further to my earlier post offering to do car skins, I think the example image links may have been dodgy for some people, so I've set up and Imgur page for hosting my work. I've be uploading more to it over time, but for now here is the Ford GT I finished last night, my first attempt at a hi-res 4k skin. Let me know if you want one doing for yourself or your team

Fixed that post on previous page. What you wanted is to view the image in OneDrive, then right click, copy images address, and copy that in image tags on here.
First of all, a massive thanks again for the high amount of cars on track today!
You may leave feedback here if you want on which cars you do or don't like, or in what order. Please keep it constructive and friendly, as I try to make sure everything is balanced and cars are used throughout the ranks, while the setups on these cars can only be adjusted in quite a limited way; the character of the base car often remains.
There will of course be multiple sessions in the coming weeks and the public server is running on rotation with the latest setups, ballast and restrictors (updates on that, if happening, will be posted).
It was really impressive to have so many cars on the grid indeed. The Porsche is an absolute no no for me. It felt like I was learning to drive all over again. The Alfa feels pretty nice except the gear ratios between 3rd and 4th (I think) are quite a doozy and the Lotus feels like it's easily loosing the grip in almost every corner. I'll have some more runs to get a better feel for each one of them. Cheers again for the big grid!
I drove the Lotus and the Porsche. I really like both of them. I have driven that cayman quite a lot, and love the car irl, so will probably choose it... But the exige is really fun as well. Not an easy choice!
The cars seem fairly well balanced rn. The lotus at both laguna seca and rbr seemed a bit faster than the porsche however, it may need some slight adjustments...

Last night tested all the 3 cars.
Heat 1: Silverstone - Lotus Exige 240.
First of all, I like the small car. In Qualify I did spun 3 or 4 times. But in Race it was more under control and had lots of fun with it. Feels like a small racer with high cornerspeed.
Heat 2: Laguna Seca - Alfa Romeo 4C
I was really suprised how quick I felt good in that car. I think more torque then a Lotus but it feels in acceleration a little "ill" Especially after the shift moment. But on the straight I was faster then the Porsche if I use the fourth gear till into the red zone. (tested it at least 3 times :-) )
The car also felt as a race-car to me. Lot's of fun.
Heat 3: Red Bull Ring - Porsche 718 Cayman S
As the RBR is one of my favorite tracks I tried the Porsche. I think the car has the most torque but also the most weight in the back of the car. And that is for me a problem. I'm losing this car to quickly. So in the race I felt as cruising in a car. It is fast enough but I can't race with it. It's for me a nice car to go on the Autobahn and put the paddle to the metal, but not in cornering. I think I have to train much more te become quick with this car.
But what is the quickest car. At this moment I think the Porsche If you can controle it. But it can be for me also become a big irritation after another spin.
So I think the Lotus or the Alfa will it be for me.

Absolutely agree with you on pretty much every part. Tried the Porsche, and damn...I've got issues keeping that one under control with the rubbish DFGT pedals. Trailbraking is pretty near impossible (at least for me) with these pedals...
Can't really comment too much on the Lotus, but the Alfa felt good and easy to drive right from the start...Though it did got trickier the faster you drove it. But to be honest...not sure I can stand the 80 year old with flatulence for an entire season...

I've driven the Alfa in a series before, I like it for the same reason I chose it last time. Direct response, very little drama, most nimble tractor ever! lacking top speed.
the lotus vas very zippy and skittish , extremely fast through the corners but be careful. its on the edge ALL the time. but so fast.
what can I say about the Porsche, it felt very numb, and sluggish, no feeling, therefore no warning when it was going to just leisurely slide into the grass. like racing a sofa. a really fast sofa.
leaning towards the Alfa again, but that lotus is calling out to me. we'll have to give them both another run.
(80 year old with flatulence...hahaha) was that me? or the car?
