    Totally agree. I guess they're thinking ... "Oh, it's Nascar. It drives like a truck ..." Quite the opposite. It's so much fun on a road course!

    Awesome!
    If you liked the raw brute V8 Australian Supercars of rF1 (that never got correctly converted to rF2) you will just L O V E these cars.
    To summarise - A W E S O M E.

    Edit : LOL. Just saw the promotional video and how do they describe this car? AWESOME! I promise I did not see that before writing my commentary.

    Ooooh ... there are two in that thread. One by Billy Strange in post 1 (good review of the mod), and one by me in the last post in which I employ people to try the mod.
    This one;

    It's been a long time, but I think I'll race this series. I've always loved NASCAR, and my laptimes look decent enough to tackle this one.
    The worst part will be to replace the optical encoder of my old G27. It's always a pain in the ***.

    There is a sort of bump in the uphill chicane that catches you out just as you power out that throws you to the right side in the guardrail.
    I'm also 1,5 seconds off to 00.49,200, but I'm in race trim with a full tank. Still, I'm worried. I will do my best and see where I end up.

    Uphill bump...make sure your streering is straight ahead when doing this.
    Quick lift and press again will help.
    Make sure suspension dont hit bottom.
    But wheels straight and correct line you can doit!

    Hi guys. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to pull out of this race (And probably this championship) due to something else coming up. It's a real shame because I love American V8s! I hope you guys have fun. :)

    Connection lost.

    It was a shame, I was doing a controlled pace to save tyres and attack at the end, but...

    Congratulations to the winner.

    My first NASCAR race and what a 15 min blast!!!
    One of the best sounding cars in rF2.
    I didn't have time to practice before the race and I was barely able to do a qualy lap.
    This car shouts out for an H shifter with a round steering wheel.
    Unfortunately I still have to get used to the H shifter and this is not the best car to start with, especially on the american track that I like less.
    Despite that, my lap times where not outrageously bad.
    During the race, I made a rookie mistake at the pit lane entrance that ended my race.
    Anyway, it was pretty good while it lasted.
    See you next time guys
    Thanks.

    after year of frustration in 2021, im happy to finish and kept concentration up whole race. Been a while since managed that.
    After little scrap there, unfortunately had to repair since wheel was too much tilted. These dont take damage well.

    @Johnny Gutierrez next time just continue lol but on a bright side was about to esc but i couldnt since you came to pits aswell so you kinda made me finish it :)

    And cheers @John vd Geest , gz!

    Grats to John! Well deserved and many laps ahead of everyone.

    Apologies to Toni which I tapped in the up hill. You don't want to tap their. Bumps, tires loose and he went around in his slow motion loop. I waited for him in the pits but I know that's the least I could have done. Stupid move on my part. After that my car wouldn't pit in my stall, so I almost hit esc and when I hit a button on my wheel in frustration from just sitting in the pits, the car started fueling again. Strange. I just installed Simhub so I think it's throwing everything for a loop.

    Sorry again Toni. I feel shitty.

    On to the next.
