It's a double apex with quite an early 1st apex which you can drift through nicely in 4th, let it run wide (but not too wide as if you get a wheel off the tarmac you're gone!) and then full throttle towards the exit apex - sweeeett........  ;)

Yea finaly sorted it  ;D was coming in to wide and missing the first apex, am currently running 4th the whole track except going into 5th on the dip into last corner coming onto the straight.
Tonight managed a 2nd  in a 20 lap race 8)  beating 2 b class racers in a final 6 lap sprint... gets the heart pumping lol...

Just sold lots of old stuff on trademe so hopefully will be getting 2 more monitors this weekend.

The way you guys are discussing this makes it sound damn realistic! I'll have to give it a try this year when I've had a job for a while and build a decent PC.

It runs rings around anything else I have tried...no learning the game like consols, no setting up the steering wheel (it runs you through a calibration) or force feed back or pissing round opening ports to play online.. it just works and feels great.

Rfactor 2 beta is out which might be worth a look tho I'm not keen on paying for the full game to try out the beta.

Gave it a go.. It had an Evo and a few tracks, was OK but no iRacing  :P

Finally got my 3 screens running correctly (was a bit of a pain but got there )



currently running 6000 (Bezel compensation) x 1080  with max settings and hold a rock solid 60 frames with v-sync
