Group C cars grip under acceleration

I asked from Renato
Just would like to know from devs if it´s more caused by other physic changes and not meant to be like what it´s now or maby devs like how it´s at this state.

 

Either wait for Renato to say something or just wait for a few weeks. You will still probably have to wait the same amount of time. What you can do is expect changes since the physics aren’t finalised

 

I just don´t understand why some guys rush to comment when question is not meant to be for them Also some at this forum fill threads with off topic chatting.

If Renato do not have time or do not want answer, that´s fine.
Life is too short for continuous waiting, going to play some AMS2

 

Well I was just trying to help by giving a answer using Renato’s comments.

 

Group C is lifeless and the GT1 Porsche's soul consisted of wheel spin. Wow. I don't think that this kind of drama and polemic gets us anywhere.
In the meantime I did some more laps in the Corvette and the rear does indeed step out, in TT btw and optimum conditions.

Edit: Ah they got slower then.

 

The Sauber also feels lively in TT

 

Can you say anything about why Group C got slowed down?

 

Hm ok, that makes sense but power hasn't been reduced as far as I can tell. Checked telemetry yesterday on the Nissan and peak hp was 900+

 

If Group C cars got slower then why Sauber C9 is quite fast comparing to other cars in same class? Something I'm missing? Now Corvette AI driver can't get anywhere. Example: Sauber C9 drivers are within about 1 second, then mostly Nissan drivers are next but over 2 seconds slower depending on track. Big gap there, but I understand if that's historically relevant. Sauber C9 is fast everywhere no matter what the track is. Before 1.5 update it was closer racing between different models, Porsche was only slow car when AI was driving. Now it's C9 first and then others. Monza 1991, diff 120, driving Nissan, lose about 1.2 seconds to AI Sauber (was on pole) per lap in qualify then AI Nissan driver was 2.4 seconds slower. Some AI drivers are too slow? Nissan has very good top speed but Sauber C9 is still top because there is other areas where it thrive.

 

I’ve never installed one mod so that’s not it for me. Seems there’s different versions on some folks , because none of the Group C cars are beasts for me, and others commenting here

 

Driving the Group Cs with auto clutch is hiding all the wild horses - the shift from 1st to 2nd with a manual clutch and H shifter will provoke rebellion amongst the 900 stallions. Just saying.

 

Manual clutch here

 

Here’s a question;
On pc startup , steam stats up. I probably took 5 minutes to sit down. I open ams2 and the dl is done? I heard it was 5 gigs? I have fiber optic and dl is about 800-1000. But 5 min and 5 gigs that seems too fast. Looks like there’s, two groups, one has the former beast Group C and others like myself with the underbelly of a gt4

 

Honestly, for me your video shows more what's wrong with the car instead of showing that it's quite ok.
The simple fact that you can abuse and drift the C9 like that without ever losing control is unrealistic from my point of view.

 

Was the car really that hard to drive as you describe it? To me it doesn’t seem that way

 

Why? Should a racing car feel like it's on ice? Have you seen when drivers warm their tires? They slide and control the car, that's basically what that video showed.

 

It's not that black and white, like if you point out the cars can be abused now without much of a repercussion that it means you want to turn AMS2 into irenting

To be fair I would have also expected a pirouette with the kind of abuse Crimson is handing out there on the C9. I'll run some more laps now in different cars see if my initial impressions remain in the 'too much grip' camp.
