rFactor - 2008 Pistonheads Series
Discussion
. Had it very soft to absorb the bumps, made the car a lot more stable, almost no twitching at all.
Well, what a first race for me! Managed to qualify 3rd but by the 3rd corner I was at the back thanks to going off twice, then followed 3 laps of catching upto 8th, then a few more laps and 7th and 6th came... then another spin! So, back to 8th I think followed by another fight back right up behind 5th then fluffed it at the last chicane. Same pattern followed and ended up 7th. I'll be back next week though!
I should have kept with all softs but was watching everyone mention mediums so I put those on the back and stuck with soft on front, what a nightmare! The car was so un-balanced but I still managed a few quick laps in amongst my numerous spin outs, hehe.
PS: No problem Goldeeno, I saw you a long way off but it was one of those slow motion unavoidable moments, haha.
Cheers all

Goldeeno, thanks for the little dig in your post. I think I've got more reason to be annoyed, but I apologise I took you out.
That race was a joke, and this whole game is turning a crock of s
t.
Lap one, turn two, R1 GTR gets the lap one red mist and tries a pass, only to take out someone in front of me.
Which suits me fine, as now I'm up into fourth, and life is good as I can see someone off the track ahead, and someone else spinning. 2nd place beckons!
But, I get taken out, and now I'm last. Oh well.
I fight my way back up, and catch Goldeeno, then
Now you don't see him
Now you do
A magically appearing and disappearing car is enough to put me off completely, and I hit Goldeeno as a result. Apologies - but instinct makes you avoid a car that appears next to you, and I couldn't recover from that when I'm doing 130+mph
I drag my way back up to within a second or so of the two guys in front;
A spin! Yes! I'm not going to come last!
But I get taken out again.
So, I get taken out twice during the race by spinning cars, leaving me to finish last. To make matters worse, a magical appearing car makes me take someone else out of the race too.
Anything like that next time and I'll give the rest of the league a miss I think. I can live with racing accidents (albeit they are very annoying), but the appearing/disappearing cars is getting a bit old.
