    Je viens de tester Spa 70 (avec pif paf), c'est du super boulot ! Et ça ne pardonne rien, j'ai réalisé un tour propre en 45 minutes avec la Brabham BT44. Moi qui passe sur une petite partie de ce circuit quand je vais dire bonjour à mon frère, j'ai peur de mourir à chaque tournant avec mon
    Honda Jazz maintenant! :eek:

    It just needs to be player setable Because in stock car racing, nose to tail makes sense. But CART uses about 5 car lengths and F1 uses 10

    Heya folks. We mistakenly pulled the trigger on the end of trial of the Racin' USA pt.3 content a bit too early. (Leading to everyone including season pass and DLC owners to miss the track in the list)

    Our apologies. We'll reinstate the avaiabilty of the tracks as soon as possible and they should be avaiable again with next Release Candidate until Racin' USA pt.3 deploys eventually like it's intended! :)

    I agree, the track is very nicely done, but I'm sure they'll add more billboards, BBQs, cows, stray cats, bored wives, kids having tantrums and whatnot.

    On the topic of Spa, I've never seen a version with the chicane in any sim, and it made me wonder what on earth they were thinking back then.. I mean surely that little detour will slow things down before you hit the Masta Kink at top whack, and indeed for the remaining 8 miles plus change, in effect making the track much, much safer, no?

    It's like often: Chicanes can make things safer...when you know about them being there. :whistle:

    that chicane murdered me first time, maybe the organisors didn't think that having it behind a blind bend at almost 200mph was a bad idea......

    But there are hay bales, they surely stop you safely!

    It got the better of me two or three times, I'll admit that. I'm so used to the PC2 version where you just need to lift a bit before you scream up the Masta Straight. For some reason I lost it at the Clubhouse too a couple of times, can you believe it. Maybe from celebrating my virtual self surviving a lap a bit too early.

    That said, the AI handles the track very nicely in the Vintage G2s. Haven't tried other cars yet.

    Well the track did originally take that route before the 2nd world war... So as the speeds of the cars got faster through the Masta Kink they decided to go back to the old route to take some speed off of the Masta Kink entry...

    I find it very interesting that the map has been rendered around the original Eau Rouge or Virage de I' Ancienne Douanne and the old Stavelot hairpin has the connecting roads so we could see a 1920s version of the track if Reiza so decided to treat us with it...

    Recreation in AMS2. Can't quite get the camera in the right spot, but close enough.

    But if the car and hay bale catch fire i will burn ;) So, a big question to safety

    Indeed, the chicane was a big surprise when I did the first lap at Spa.......

    I am a bit confused watching my library on Steam. It says that I have the us packs part 1 and 2 and also the racin us full expansion pack.
    Must I buy us part 3 now or will the ovals be part of the expansion pack?
