The car is now stable and performs well, but the lack of downforce makes it better suited for high-speed tracks. It’s extremely fast and has very low fuel consumption. It laps Le Mans in 3:55 and easily completes 3 laps on a tank.
Cockpit view is spot on — the windscreen stays low in your line of sight, and it’s perfect in VR2. Throw a fan in front of you for immersion, and watch out for virtual mosquitos at high speed!
If there’s a weak point, it’s the brakes — not great by today’s standards. But these old bolids are insanely fast and thrilling to drive.
Wnjoy your drive. ><(((((((°>°°°°°°

This is a very exciting car to drive and it is very well tuned. I like the fact that you can not fit engine parts which makes it possible to drive it stock as well. This car stock around Goodwood is a blast to drive. Thank you very much.👌
