jcchaconjr: Traction Control? What’s that? Lol.Actually, I haven’t looked into it, but I doubt it, based on the number of cars that were spinning out in the Moss hairpin at Mosport this weekend. The Corvette has gobs of torque, so you definitely have to mind your throttle foot.

I’m not interested in it as an driving help and I despise it in real life racing but since the real C6.R has traction control system… Dunno but most sims seem to completely disregard this, only placing some sort of “on/off” option somewhere under “Game Options” and “Driving Aids” instead of actually implementing it to the car setup with gradually adjustable parametres.

I’m kidding. Ive got them both….and they are fantastic. Couldnt wipe the smile from my face on Friday afternoon bombing around indy. Oh…and just got my Frex wheel hooked up last week, so it was fun fun fun.

basically he said both things first- “you feel when loosing it” second- “once you loose that split moment its gone there’s no recovering” that’s what a top professional driver said. I know it’s not the Vett but still! so it’s not like you have a full coffee break to recover it but also it gives you 1 chance to do so! yes 1! he said only 1!

He also said they drive knowing what the car will do in different circumstances so they prefer not changing car makers for the whole year! That way they get used to the car’s behavior mainly saying they guess what will happen! that means they don’t get too much input from the car before the car decides to do their things lol!

With all this I respect even more Enduracers! I have the link for the race site but it’s all in Portuguese!

felipe: now we have a good comparison Vett for Endurance Series’ C6.R! Did anyone try them both? Montoya??

I only had a brief test at a friend’s house with this car at laguna seca (havent bought since I dont plan on renewing) but theres no comparision IMO, the enduracers vette has the unfortunate driving on ice feel to it near the limit. Closest thing I can think of physics-wise on rfactor would be EOAA GT’s vette or team players c6r. But again, it depends on what you believe a GT car should behave like.

Comparing iRacing surround with rFactor stereo is not fair to say the least.

Had no time to test the car yet, hopefully tomorrow!

I’m impressed enough by the corvette sounds as well. It’s missing the extra dimension in the transmission that endurance series has in rFactor, but it makes up for it in a brutal sounding V8, and appropriate wind noise and road noise.

The tyre skid sounds seem to be the same for every car in iRacing which makes it a little monotonous though if iRacing were moddable, they could be easily improved for my ears.

Worth another try in the future during my wait for rF2.
