Thread: Focused Racing League Rules

To learn work your way through the classes from d to u, and avoid the exotics or classics. American muscle cars have potential but they are not easy to drive, and some of the exotics pack enough hp and torque to tear themselves in half but don't have the handling to back it.

I suggest if you find a certain car type you need for a race unwieldy to put the front and rear adjustable aerodynamics kits on them, they trick you into thinking they sacrifice a lot of speed but that is set to the middle even set to all speed on traction while still offering speed so they can help a lot.

You should also prioritize the stats in order of handling, acceleration, braking, then speed. The issue with speed is around 5.0 or 6.0 is a high enough max speed for most courses unless your acceleration is sick. For instance my mustang gt can't even approach it's top speed in u class even coming in hot to the Nürburgring straight which I believe is the longest straight in the game. For many cars the difference from s to u is 0.1 or 0.2 in most stats and like 1.0 or 2.0 in speed which is useless.

I think everyone knows the lingenfelter is more or less a joke car, it's like any of the american cars but even more out of wack with its speed to handling ratio.

For the record, I love the Lingenfelter. There's something about the barabous insanity which makes the car appealing, if impractical. And I've been driving it quite a bit this evening. I've learned a few things too.

You don't drive the Lingenfelter with stability control on. Stability control is a bit half-assed at the best of times and completely fails when it comes to the 'felter. If you drive with ABS and stab. control you can experience the amusment of watching the stab. control trigger the antilock brakes as it tries to keep the car in a straight line. You can't drive this car in a straight line. You just have to learn to love and control the insane power slides.

And believe it or not, you can get it around the Nurburgring in about 7:30, maybe faster.

EDIT: I knew it could do 7:30. 7:29.947. I'm proud of that time. :-)

I need to take my exige 240 around the Nurburgring, I always find the course terribly boring and I have been working on my new york time with my mustang. I need to start practicing with the assists off though, I normally have them on. Besides the lingenfelter what are your favorite cars?
