It may be stupid, but I am very tempted to purchase the ford and give this a go. Will update after this evening :D

Yesterday I drove a few laps in the Ford and holy moly, this combo is definitely one hell of a thrill o_O

man, this thing is terrifying. Definitely the largest gap between project cars and iracing versions I've come across. I've achieved 1 lap now where I didn't trash the car. A 2:24. Only about 18secs to find :D.

If anyone has a decent setup for the car so I can trial this on something more sensible that would be amazing - the car feels so skittish under braking

UPDATE: After changing the insane default brake bias my starter for 10 is more like a 2:11. Given I'm using the sequential shifter and getting used to the wheel and pedals, I don't think that's bad for about 15 laps :D. Not sure its enough to consider signing up though just yet.if I can bring it down to something like a 2:08 tomorrow then I might consider a stint...if someone will have me ofc.

Well so far this car is beating me. I can't make it more than 3 laps without binning the car. Sadly I'll be watching this one unless it all clicks suddenly.

yup, with forward brake bias and a bit softer front. I can't get stable enough to really even look at setup though. I'm really not too focused atm and its super easy to bin the car :D

@fab. ICEMAN do you want to team up for this?
I am also willing to drive the ford ^^
I would like to, but cannot give a clear go atm, as RL-weekend plans might shuffle everything around.
But anyway, we have three drivers looking forward to this race, so we should be able to form a team with @UnstopaPaul nevertheless. I wouldn't mind having a three-man team if all of us are ready to drive. :)

^^bear in mind I raelly can't get round the track properly in this car yet. While I'm interested, there is no way I'm saying yes until I'm sure I'm at least safe. I've made that mistake before, signing up and then having to pull out the day before. Sadly, while I'm definitely getting the hang of the car a little, its not the same as being able to do 50 laps with a low chance of incident.

yeah i would definitely be fine with doing the race with 3 people, but i would also be up with only 2 driving as long as we get a team running
still have to get the car and do some practice this week, but already saw PDS has a set for the V8 Supercars series race that were this week, so we probably have a good starting point with that

Ok sadly I have to pull out now. I'll be away the saturday afternoon so there's no chance I can drive a stint. But @The Wayfaerer, @UnstopaPaul and @JuniorJH , you three can still do this if you feel like driving this event!

i think i also have to pull out, as we had no clear confirmation of doing it i haven't bought the car yet, and it looks like i won't have the time needed to practice the next 2 days unfortunately
