Oops I missed this one! Guess I will take #65 and prepare to get lapped a LOT.

Yeah I got someone to fight for last position

Welcome to slow club!

There's something I noticed...

Was a bit of "realism" sacrificed to make the grid look more different?

Both Rothmans Porsche could have been replaced with the #19 and #21 Porsche(same as the #14 LM though), which raced in DRM while the works cars did not.

Then there's the #4 Joest car, which is the same as the #12 LM entry, but shares the number with one of the Lancias.

But imo, it's a car from the historic season, so it should have preference

And yes, I am nit-picky again

Damn, they trashed the field, including the #1

But that Warsteiner livery looks nice, same goes for the Liqui Moly(Brun Motorsport I believe) car

The 936C in mod is 10 seconds slower than the 956 's few cars in real life were slower than the 936 are much faster . I researched the results and 936 time lap, when compared to 956 and was slower about 1 or 2 seconds but not 10s. I think this mod is with many errors and should be a fix on some cars. The 936C physics is wrong. How i try good result in slower car?, Impossible! This car need a fix.

As the real car was not slow like that.  

I have no patience for bad car, Can't make miracles in this car. And it is still dangerous because it has that to brake earlier than others.

Philippe,

Are you releasing your car?

If yes, do you want to be placed on the waiting list?

No! I say that the car 's wrong and this mod need fixes.

Maybe the car does need fixes, maybe not. But either way, it cannot be changed overnight. You had time to test the cars before making your choice too.

Why? you can make the pole or win the race in this car?

You know the car's secret than to prove what I'm wrong?

If other drivers this car model are also slow I so sure that the mod is wrong.

I tested many cars to be able to say what I'm saying. Weeks ago, unique free car in the registration. Only my opinion Coxon. I can't belive others drivers fast this model car.

You run in a car knowing that physically it is wrong and that the car has not walking conditions between the first? Run in a car knowing it would always loses races because the car not being competitive ?

Would have motivation to compete in a loser car? Coxon Think with me, No make sense compete to lose? Or have sense this?

Only my simple opinion. No ofense.

I'm not saying the car is correct, I'm saying if it is incorrect (I have never driven the real car ) we cannot just change the physics quickly. There will be no physics changes for this championship.

The mod is certainly questionable in some aspects, but there are other 936 in the field, and also CK5s, EMKAs etc. You can't compete against a 956 but you can enjoy the races if you fight with another 936.

HSO is not only about winning, it's about having a fun time on the track battling with other cars/drivers of your performance. There are other leagues were winning is all that counts, but here you can find the extra sportive spirit of racing for the fun of the historic recreation and the joy of driving with no consideration to results.

Maybe if you look at it this way you can find a way to enjoy the car. I have many times started races not happy with the car and my pace and ended up having lots of fun fighting someone who happened to be in my speed.

Give it a try and if you really struggle then release the car -you can always do that 

Alberto, Lo 936C en realidad es muy mejor y en mod es muy malo. no hace bien las curvas y es muy demasiado lento. este auto no tiene manera de luchar por posiciones. No hay manera de matener las posiciones. Mas lento que algunos autos de la junior. ¿cómo puedo divertirme en un auto así?

Luchando con los otros coches lentos. Hay otro 936

Pero bien, entiendo lo que dices. Correr con un coche tan lento no es divertido.

Gracias Alberto.

The 936 was a bit faster than in the mod in it's current form yes, but in no way shape or form could ever hope to compete against the 956s in a small twisty track like this. It just didn't have the downforce. What the mod portraits very wrongly is how hard the car is to drive in game, witch wasn't at all in real life.

turn up the volume and you think you go airborn
the sounds of this mod , period best for turbo effects, make you think in every car you fly

I would like to change my Porsche CK5 #22 to the #65 de Cadenet
