Thank you

#28, although as per wiki article, it appears as if Santal never drove a Sierra that season(Alfa and a BMW at the 24 Hours of Spa?) and Euromotorsport didn't even take part


I added the Norisring last night on the workshop and downloaded the the cars, installed them aswell.

Now my game won't load up a server online or load up offline mode, you guys broke my install!

Proves once again not only you shouldn't trust wikipedia as a source for motor racing history, you shouldn't even consult it

Santal drove the #28 Euromotorsport Sierra RS at the 1987 Spa 24 Hours, alongside Roman Feitler and motocross legend Gaston Rahier.

Surely you set your "awesomeness filter" wrong and something broke with the influx of our blessed data

Actually no, I read the Wiki slightly wrong last night and got the wrong car.

Only the team entry looks different from touringcarracing.net to the Wiki: It mentions Euromotorsport while the other says "Ford Motorsport Luxembourg"

Well, they crashed out anyway


rF2 actually seems to hang up more often after added content, but you guys wouldn't know with your HSO only installs

Installs works again today, the game took switching between offline and online, and even then it took 10 minutes(!) of loading a server online before it woke up by itself and showed the car selection screen 

Oh hey, car seems fun, even more than on rF2, maybe I drove too tame, the Sierra was quite bitchy when I used to drive in the WTM at Race Dep

And the yellow colour of the #28 stands out nicely

I hate to be that guy:
I love Norisring but this one is crazy. The hairpin does not feel right, I get the 'bumps' thing it but seriously that bad. Feels wrong.
Just thought I would put it out there...

In what way? Feeling them? Or your view stuttering when driving over them?

Not sure, like on a wave pool - porpoising almost - down that small straight before the left hander onto the main straight.

But worse for me is the hairpin, I Hail Mary it into there every time!

TBH I have yet to find a sim that does very tight hairpins like that and Loews properly, even the best Nordschleife can't get the Carousel right IMO and I have driven it, and the transition is not as aggressive as it appears in sims.

The same with tight hairpins, feels wrong.

But I love it... just saying this one I am finding particularly fake. No complaints just sharing thoughts.

I am a fucking journo after all... LOL

No ATCC cars?
If not can I have Andy Rouse no.8 please

I didn't notice anything special with the bumps, but I guess FFB settings might be a factor here.

No ATCC cars because ideally we'd like to have DTM cars only. The few BTCC and WTCC entries are to replace real life cars missing in the mod. Actually some are not missing but ran in both the DTM and WTCC irl but are only featured in their WTCC trim (with their WTCC racing number) in the mod.

OK for #8 Rouse

Are there performance differences between the DTM Sierra and the WTCC version?
I have only driven the ATCC version

Even the official Nordschleife by S397?

So, it's a FFB thing and not your view shuttering on any bump?

Hmm well, I never experienced the Norisring or driven a Sierra, so I probably can't put the finger on it.

There's an upgrade tab for the car in the car selection, the WTCC version has 370, the DTM 350 IIRC(horse power I mean)?


I personally use like 4-12 Smoothing(high sometimes because flat-spots make the G27 oscillate like crazy), 1.3 Mult in the controller setting, FFB min torque 6%, 20% steering rate, everything below that is 0%, I also turned off any effects that make my view shift "off".

#13 ?
