I had a Renault 5 turbo. I hit a bird one day and the car fell apart.
Speaking of cars with terrible plastic bodykits, Race Room Racing Experience, (RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE for short), released its Classic Group 5 pack last week.
Seven cars : Greenwood Corvette, Chevy Monza, Zakspeed Capri, Fabcar 935, Nissan Silvia, Nissan Skyline, BMW 320i.
The two 'MuricaBoats are normally aspirated monsters, while the other five have less power, but have varying amounts of turbo boost to make up for it. This makes for a pretty entertaining pack to drive, where all the cars are different. The AI is still learning to drive these cars and don’t work so well at tracks with a big stop, (like the Corkscrew at Laguna), but are fine elsewhere, like the Slovakia Ring.
The Greenwood Chevy sounds like the end of the world, corners roughly as well as the country it was made in and features brakes that are mostly just a suggestion. Meanwhile, the turbo in the Fabcar (Porsche) 935 takes three to five business days to deliver the boost you requested and then gives it to you all at once, meaning if you get corner exit wrong you powerslide into the Sun.
Here’s a short video of me trying not to die in the Corvette, which I offer mostly so you can enjoy the sound. Strap yourself in for lap three, (camera on the engine cover), so that you don’t shake your teeth out.
