Apologies for the lack of communication. It has been a mad week.

I'll set up a Green Hell challenge tonight / tomorrow morning and we can run it for just over a week to give everyone plenty of chance to have a go. Stand-by for instructions!

I'm not a fan of Porsche at all but I'll definitely give these a go and see what the fuss is about.

I wasn't much a fan of porsche until i drove one..
m235i racing at the 'ring? perfect combo imo

Amusingly it was the other way round for me I still have books and framed pictures etc, because it's an iconic marque, but I was very disappointed at how they drove.

What tyres is this being run on? The F40 has Street tyres in the standard set up whilst the Ruf uses semi slicks

I'm not taking part this weekend, but our usual rules are the setup is free, so in other words you are free to use the semi-slicks on the F40 if you wish. Plus, as Ash says above, don't forget that some turbocharged cars allow you to increase the boost using the number keys on your keyboard (0 is 100%) - in doing so you're trading engine longevity for power.

Hey guys,

In hospital after a shoulder op so won't be taking part but I will put together a good challenge for you in the next few days if everyone is happy to wait?

Damn! There's cars I want I'm all of them..
Ffss I'll just have to buy them all.

[RobM77]

I think they're doing a 'season pass' which will get you all the packs - I suspect that's why they've released the lists now.

I must admit, I'm still pining for a Formula Ford, like in Netkar, and wet weather. The two combined was such absorbing fun it was all I drove in Netkar most of the time.

I must confess, although I might buy these packs, I find it rather disappointing how Kunos just keep releasing road cars, like a sort of Gran Turismo strategy. Seeing that they're based at a race track and market themselves as a motorsport simulator (or at least used to), I find it rather disappointing.

[Mothersruin]

Agreed, I'm not really interested in the road cars.

[anonymous-user]

Agreed, not interested in road cars at all.
Friend of mine said 'another typical assetto corsa dlc, all race cars no road cars'..

[RobM77]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I often feel like it on Facebook if I say such things. If you give me an empty virtual race track and a timing system linked to other drivers all over the world, the last thing I'm going to want to drive is a road car designed with compromises to do the shopping etc

Kunos posted a picture the other day apparently showing the 1967 F1 grid, but if you looked closer, they were all Lotus 49s, just painted differently!

I would dearly love to see some contemparies of the 49 and 312 from '67 and '76 respectively, along with an F3000 car (the Reynard 92D was my favourite!). I'd also like to see some classic F3 machines (in real life these series are massively popular, especially in France). FRenault, GP2, GP3, F3 etc would also be good. I'd also like some historics: BRM V16, ERA B type and some contemparies of the 250F, which I love.
