Whoa, that's brilliant! Challenger, have you been practising a lot? I didn't even realise you could get a lowrider onto two wheels without a ramp.

Hi Pete. Good to hear from you. Hope everything is going well.
Going ok so far noelly cheers. Wife started chemo last week and radiation this week. She's knackered but ok. Rediculous weather here. Inundated in snow a few days ago then it's 15c today and 20c tomorrow. There's a GameStop a few blocks up from here, I'll try and get a PS4 later in the week and catch up with you all. thumbup

As far as I'm aware, it's only the Primo Custom that can do it. You need the most powerful pumps to do it (but that means a stock one in races/deathmatches can suffice - I have a custom one so I can do it in free roam), and while it's easy to get it up initially, the challenge comes with balancing it. Needs a tad of practice but anyone can do it!

Edit: Also figured I'd give the new car a go. I think it may be ideal for a one-car stock series, since it doesn't need a spoiler, and is pretty rorty in stock form. I painted it up like the Caterham 300SP.R

Is it impossible to wear a helmet when driving? Looks like you forgot to put it on with that nomex balaclava visible laugh

Not in cars, unfortunately. You can with bikes, I'll try and get some images of my motocross get-up.

How about an all Ruston race with loads of laps on that track we used for the vans on Sunday?
Maybe teams of two if there's enough interest?

The textures don't play particularly well but hopefully it shows the idea well enough. Unfortunately headgear of all types is removed in vehicles classed as 'cars' and not 'bikes' so there's no way I can have it on in a car.

I don't really have a problem with the handling. I don't race, just do free roam and missions.

It definitely is fast though.
(The 811 , not the Minivan !!)

I bought the Ruston....it has the same handling characteristics as the GP1 ie. doesn't seem to want to turn quickly. It also hates bumpy roads so is far more suited to stunt tracks. However it would be fun to have one make racing with them.

Inspired by Challenger. Not bad for a first attempt. I reckon with a bit more practise.....

After some research it seems there were two issues causing my lag.
The first being my connection was slow as hell, even though it said it was connected at a decent speed.
Speedtest.net was showing 10mb down, 10mb up on average.
The Homehub was saying 57 down and 12 up!
I'm fully aware of the wifi being a bottle neck, but never to that degree.
After BT doing some tests and fiddling I'm now seeing the same connection speeds on the hub, but speediest is showing 50 down, 15 up over 5mhz wifi, so a big improvement.

The other issue is even worse. The PS4 over 5mhz wifi shows around 20 down, and 300k (yes thats correct!) up! Crap.
Some googling reveals a lot of people moaning about the PS4 Pro wifi speeds.
I've switched channels and done a few other things and now see a better upload speed of approx 3mb (low upload usually causes lag, not download speed)
I'm still going to go for a wired connection eventually.

Any way, aside from all of that, I got the Ruston and tried it on the Laguna Park track which it seems well suited to.
Various corners can be taken flat out, some just by lifting off if you get the right line, and some need heavy braking.
My best lap was 54 seconds after only 4 laps, so it would be possible to have say a 20 lap and it not be too long.
I think it would make an excellent Sunday night racing smile

That's decent enough news on the connection front DJ!

I'll be purchasing that car this evening, if you are on racing over the next couple nights drop me an invite smile.
