Confirmed cars for the series:
Lamborghini Aventador SV (Red Pack)
Ferrari 488 GTB (Triple Pack)
Pagani Huayra

Latest setup, ballast & restrictor update:
26th February: restrictor increased for Pagani, restrictor removed for Lamborghini
27th February: increased restrictor for the Pagani, improved cornering stability, added some turn in; increased restrictor for the Ferrari, full camber at the front to make it a bit more stable; increased camber for the Lamborghini, increased turn in and kept full aero
1st March: minor update to Lamborghini, should make it slightly more stable; added Porsche 918 test mule, not promising anything regarding this car!
5th March (during test event): adjusted BoP to Ferrari 20% restrictor (was 15%) and Pagani 85% (was 80%)
5th March (after test event): attempt to reduce the twitchyness of all three cars, all setups have been updated on the server

Tracks for this event:

Nürburgring GP


Silverstone GP


Race Format:
10 minute qualifying per track
2x10 minute race per track (reverse grid top 4 second race)
Rolling Start procedure: double file (two rows), leading car (pole) slowly increases pace to a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). If you start left, stay left; if you start right, stay right. Keep at least a car's length between you and the car right in front of you, and do not overtake a car that is aside you if you start on the outside. You may reduce throttle, but do not brake, maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Once the race timer (top of your screen) hits 9:45, the race starts. The host will do a countdown over our voice channel.

Quick update,
I tried the Lambo on Mugello and found that i would loose the back under braking if trying to trail brake into the corner. Heavy braking into the first ccorner seemed to be more controlled.

the Ferrari took me qualifying and a race to get into the drive of the car as I was often spinning/loosing control on the exit of the faster corners (high 3rd gear and above)

The pagani, although the pagani likes to step the rear out on the lower speed corners I actually found this to be the easiest of the three to drive (read keep on track).

Although I think the track does make quite a difference across the cars and if I were to concentrate on 1 car then (maybe towards the end of the series I might be better for it) I could be quite consistant at staying on track.

That Lambo trait isn't too hard to get used to, but it does leave you even more open to the better braking of the other cars. For me it's the "safe" car. I can think less about throttle input with it.

Had a better time today with the Ferrari, getting race distances in without too many hairy moments, this would change with other people on track. It's definitely quicker, in my hands, than the Lambo. It turns much better. Just need to work on the right foot discipline!

Pagani is still off my radar.

Hoping to get some more time tomorrow
