    It features advanced underbody aerodynamics, a long arm double wishbone suspension with pushrod activated coilover dampers and an optional all-wheel drive system. Power comes from a variety of motorcycle engines with typical configurations using 1.0L or 1.3L units of 175-200 hp. Typical weights are in the 800-900 lbs (360-410 kg) range resulting in exceptional performance.

    ****************************************************************

    Car version used:

    We will drive the D4 - Trackday version.
    (not the D4 2018 version)


    ****************************************************************


    Each event has a standing start

    We start racing from the green light. No formation lap.

    ****************************************************************

    Mandatory pit stop

    There is a mandatory pit stop for each event where you have to change all 4 tires.
    Fuel strategy is free.
    There is no Pit-window.

    ****************************************************************

    No-shows

    If a driver does not show up twice for a race without unregistering for that event or letting me know that he can't make it in the event-forum, he will be taken out of the complete series.

    (You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can unregister only for the race you can't do.)

    ****************************************************************


    No Esc. on track rule in Qualification
    In qualification, you can not press Escape (Esc.) while on track (if you crash) and then go back out again.
    If you want to do another run, you have to come into the pits first.

    This is to protect the other drivers from someone taking abnormal risks to set a good lap time and crashing (other cars).

    ****************************************************************

    This is the first time with these cars, they are so much fun to drive.
    I have a couple of questions: In the Tuning car from the show room I come across the Steering Ratio option. My wheel is a modified MOMO and is set at 720 deg . What should I select in that option in image below.? The over all it feel good but fast corners it feel like it is slipping gradually towards outside going into the apex. And on rF2 in the Liveries' folder there are 4 selections, Track-day Multiplayer, Track-day, Custom and another one I forgot what it is called, are they all the same? And where do I adjust my Steering, it is set at 720 deg and I would like to lower it.?

    We will use the D4 - Trackday version (not the D4 2018 version)

    I can't answer the 2017 Steering config question yet, as I only drove it on default config settings. That felt oke for me.
