Well, can't you just up the force in the sim so you get a nice balance of small forces and just accept the clipping if you hit the ditch? No point preserving the full force of a ditch if it means limp noodle steering 99% of the time.

Yeah I thought so too, and although it improved it didn't really get better... It's still limp, it just jerks more when there is real force... I don't know, maybe there is a magic setting I just haven't discovered yet...

Rockingham US != Rockingham UK

Did they include the new SAFER Barriers in the iRacing Rockingham or did they leave them out? Curious.

I recommend everyone gives the L79 a try, it's phenomenal on the NTM, doesn't have any of the usual NTM problems, cold tyres aren't faster, it can slide and be caught, tyres don't turn to mush after 1 tiny slide. It's fantastic, if you're not driving it you're missing out on the best car on the service at the moment.

They only scanned it a few months ago iirc (or sometime around the truck race), so yes, safer barriers included (also its bumpy as shit)

Is it possible that the L79 is running a preview of the NTM5 while the other NTM cars are on older iterations?

I'm not sure, to be honest I think it's got more to do with being bias-ply.

Probably. The Street Stock is also bias-ply and it is one of the better controlling cars out there.

Well by definition each car has it's own specific tyre model. So this is irrelevant anyway.

bias-ply tyres are inherently more driveable on the limit, hence the old cars are more 'drivable' (drifty)

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Yep. The problem is the bias ply cars feel like the radial cars should. The Street Stock just feels like it's on street sports tires, not bias ply.

I was talking to a historics racer about driving on bias ply and he said it was so stupidly easy to drive on them with his Morgan that he frequently did point-bys on test days while in the middle of a high speed corner at extreme slip angles. The SS may be easier to drive than the other cars on iRacing, but it's not one-handed opposite lock easy (for me).

I agree the iRacing cars are too hard to control in a slide.

I'm not used to rwd cars at all, but I could consistently drift my friend's RX-7 on Toyo R888 after driving it 10 minutes.

Radical change of conversation here but what is your name on iRacing?

Atle Dreier. I like to keep my usernames simple..

Haha Cool.

So, news on teh other cars this build? Got better/mor driveable than before?

I keep hearing good things about the Lotus 79 and the Skippy. How about the Miata, is that still trying to kill you?

I’ve been sent a promo code - 1 year for $59 (40% save). Offer expires on 31st December.

If anyone wants, I can send, although I'm not sure, because it says "Offer is not transferable", hmm...

Miata isnt bad, but I like the Solstice. Still havn't driven the Skyppy or the Lotus but the Radical is just so awesome. Pretty much all I drive now.

Amost a year in this shit and the only car I can drive and stay on the track it's the Dallara, it's like driving on ice with the other cars.

Can you replicate this on NTM Mustang?

Ford Mustang FR500s Drifting l ... Okayama TV camera/overlay

I tried...

After the last build I drifted pretty much the full track at Laguna in the Mustang, probably could do so at Okayama too. It feels a lot easier to drift now.
