It certainly seems to have caused a few Youtubers to comment about the death of Try-Hards. I've never really got into battles with randoms to know they were a thing.

Broughy's testing of the two expensive new supercars shows they're dog slow. There's some new variable in the handling files which is only on the new cars, which he reckons is what causes it - but of course, that'll be tweaked by Rockstar in the future as they kept doing with the downforce. Spend your real world dollars on Shark cards to be a guinea pig for Rockstar's next game involving cars, great!

Fast supercars are for casuals anyway, real players are buying the slow estate car.

That's what I'll be buying - subject to Broughy's testing video of course wink What class is it in?

ETA: and the RS200, though I will be spent out by buying the two of them so I will need to grind a bit to mod them.

I fancy the RS200 but I think I might save what little money I have for the Issi classic.

All hail the broughmeister smile

this is what rockstar do though release new cars everyone rushes out to buy them then finds out there slower than the old stuff . surely it would make more business sense that every new car is always fastest so you just have to buy them .

i'm on leave this week so i'll see if i can get some new tracks to race some of the new stuff sunday night.

I was thinking it would be fun to race the Volvo around some daft tracks like the one round the building site that we usually use for rumpo racing.

Why make them faster all the time, people buy them anyway... buy a slow car.. sell slow car.. buy new fast car, faster than slow car.. buy new slow car thinking its faster than fast car... sell slow car... rinse and repeat.

Can't go wrong with the stratum IMO. Just needs some more tuning bits

Only crashes I had yesterday were mental and emotional thank you very much. :P

I imagine most of us will be a little tired out by Hotring by the time we get to Sunday night so I'll edit some of my old transform races to have some more of the new cars in, playlist at the usual time?

While my internet connection should be improved in a month or two, I’m intrigued how badly I jump around. My download speed is usable but the upload is shocking, which means it all looks fine on my screen. If anyone wants to save a video to show me that would be kind.

And sorry it messes up Sumo a bit, but Joyrider did us proud on his own laugh

Cant say im a fan of the new races so far, the tracks are basic, the larger grids combined with the double xp makes for an even worse crash fest than normal (lots of afk at the start) and the stock car handles like a plate of jelly.

On the flip side some of the dripfeed cars look good, the lada / wrc fiesta and mini will all need to be saved up for... maybe the rs200 to.

Any chance this new race mode had to be fun is being removed by crashy tts in the lobbies. I look forward to double cash ending on it or finding a bunch to race with who are older than 12!

Did you race with us last night ?

The advantage of this race mode is you can be last but with catch up and slip stream on nothing counts until the last few laps and the last 2 corners are crucial.
