One of my favourite venues in PGR3 was this track. Real world , old world. I agree with what has been said about the look and feel. Looks Smooth, feels Rough. Just like a big old German Beer Garden Fräulein. I love it. We had better get the suspension right on this one. This is an old girl and should be treated with respect. If you piss her off, she'll through you and your boys out on the street along with all your toys.  B;)
I like this addition very much!
Cheers!

More is, almost, always better. I'll part with 400 points for this. Need more locales to thrash around the 2-Eleven. Nurburgring GP will fit the bill nicely.
Hey, Choccy! Nice to hear from you. Still hibernating I guess. I would , too, but wee Tam needs his outdoor time. What's with your 2-11. I'd like to take that tune for a spin.
Cheers!
Done. But, there's not much to it. The 2-Eleven is more about the nut behind the wheel than anything else. All of my current "tunes" are little more than Sport modifications and finding an optimal tire pressure and acceleration differential setting. I'm still feeling my way around FM3's improved handling model. Leaning on the tires so to say...
That wee skitter is one fun puppy. Thanks. Ya, your right, not much too her, but she gets around pretty well. I like the gear package you assembled. I see what you mean about toying with the rubber. ;)

Hey guys!  If you have bought the Track Pack, go and run the Time Trial they have set up for it.  It will get you a free car with a fairly cool paint job on it...

I'll have to try that next time I hop on.  Finally all dug out of the shoulder deep snow so I may or may not be up for racing tonight, but a free car is always nice.

.....or is this just a way to keep me out on an errand so you can sneak some leaderboard time in and make up time on me in F-class Circuit?????  (J/K)

I did enough to get the free car and that was about it.  Is there a bonus prize for last place?  ;D

LOL - naw, I'm busy stinking up R3 class right now.  If you don't care to run that Mazda R1 redo then you are SOL as far as the leaderboard goes.  Well, that and the AWD Viper...

You must have 'bout had your belly full of winter there Fit...

TLC - I'll race ya for last...

Ou est le Time Trial for it? I have run a few Hot Laps on both the GP and Short circuit, but see no "time trial" specifically for this Track Pack. ??? ::)

It's one they just dreamed up.  It will be near the top of the list, with a big Yellow X

Ok, I found it. I was being daft, didn't look in the right place. Thanks

BTW, I got 1:43.635. TEN SECONDS OFF THE PACE!!!. WTF.

I can't imagine finding anywhere near another ten seconds. What are these hot lappers doing different??? :o

Hey, Choccy! :) The Time Trial is on the Leaderboard page, down the list is Time Trial. Click that, a new list pops up, Hyundai is on top, Nürburgring is down at 3, big yellow star. The default car is the R1 Peugeot 908 FAP. Not tunable. Have fun.  :P

Well, you're two seconds faster than me, so - How did you do it?

I think a lot of it is younger reflexes and fresher eyes.  And experience.

So, why don't we commit an Hour a day to that Time Trial until it closes and see if we can improve?  We've got till the 16th

:) $

btw, I just noticed that the Mercedes DTM car is part of the package for running this time trial (see the Weekend Report).  That is a damn fine car that costs $800k so well worth the effort it takes to lay down a time, even a One and Done.  I'm still trying to pay the one I bought off...   :-\

Well, the first thing I can tell you is that that Peugeot needs a little more setting up than my Cadillac does.  I still haven't reached the Caddy's time.  I did manage to knock a couple of seconds off my first time on the strength one move - catching the turn leading on the uphill straight to the last chicane such that I was on the throttle all the way through it.  That is what I mean... setting it up.

So now I am at 103.432.  I think my first goal will be to break 100...

This old fart is up for that. An hour is no problem. I must admit I spent only about an hour today, my goal to get the freeby car. But, now that is behind me, I am up to working on "setting up" those tricky twisty bits. The Pug has enormous grip, and I find I don't trust what it is capable of, playing it way too safe. Like you say, a bit more experience with is torque monster should get us below the 100 mark. The game is on.
