CASEY sent me this message earlier: “This week, there are some significant refinements done to the Racer V8 (Radical SR8), Ariel Atom 300 and some interesting tire developments for the Formula C”
You can say that again! Some exciting progress
Here’s my latest thoughts on this week’s build, starting with the good news and my new favourite machine on Project CARS:
Formula C
The FC is absolutely superb. If you want to know what it feels like to drive a Formula Vauxhall Lotus (which no longer exists) crossed with a Formula Renault 2000, then take this baby out for a spin.
DEFAULT TYRE
Braking: plenty of feedback, very driveable – it could possibly benefit from a fraction more initial braking ‘bite’ but it’s great. I set my brake bias to 55% which turned out to be important on other tyres.
Trail braking: this tyre supports any effort to trail brake and steer into the corner – bravo. Love it.
Turn / In: its good, but I would love even more turning POWER, so that you could potentially make the car oversteer if you turn too quickly or at too high a speed (*see notes on the Ariel / FA / and WHITE Tyre below). The car does twitch slightly on turn/in when close to the limit which is a major bonus
Power: this is the sexy part. As you squeeze the throttle, this transitions beautifully from u/steer to oversteer and balances – you can feel the limit and there are no nasty ‘kill you quick’ spins like in the FA.
Sound: this is important. The engine sounds right and crucially you can HEAR wheelspin, and tyre squeal when you break rear traction. The Kart and the FA don’t do this and it’s their loss – to the gain of the FC – LOVE IT!
F3 Slick / Flash. Yikes. For some reason my car got the shakes and the whole body was shaking down the straights so I parked it but noticed that I had to dial the brake bias to 70% to prevent the rears locking. This tyre has no rear grip or stability.
F3 Slick / Match – major front ploughing and understeer. I couldn’t note a redeeming feature so I parked it before my mouse became embedded in the monitor.
F3 Slick / White – yeee haaw. Another great tyre. Feels like less grip than the default but it still works great.
Braking: I reverted to 55% brake bias because the fronts were slippery at 70%.
Power: the progressive sliding on this tyre is really excellent. You can balance the platform using the throttle and flick the car out of corners. As with the default it might just benefit from feeling a bit stiffer, with slightly more aggressive twitches (not ones that make you spin, they just make you work the wheel a little faster and harder)
Braking: again excellent with great feedback
Trail Braking: point of difference with this tyre is that it has slightly less rear stability when braking and steering into a corner, and I loved that.
Bearing in mind that we detest the phenomenon when the car auto-rotates if you combine braking and steering – but the White tyre causes the rear to float progressively and is the first tyre model I’ve driven on PCARS to pull it off. Great job.
Set-up: I tweaked 2 notches more rear wing on to see if I could tone down the oversteer as I braked into a tight, fast cambered right at Imola and it worked precisely as it should. I lost a little turn in elsewhere but was very pleased to see a set up change working.
BRAVO!
Formula A
By contrast to the FC the FA has some quite frustrating issues at the moment
1. If you touch an apex kerb under load with power you spin – end of. It shouldn’t make the rears spin like this
2. As you gradually squeeze the throttle on the FA there’s no way of telling the limit and you just spin – there’s no engine note, bounce from the tyre or tyre noise to guide you that you are exceeding the limit either
Caterham R500
Handling: The car has massive entry understeer from turn/in to mid corner which is unrealistic as the RL model has excellent sharp bite and rotates around the engine mounted in the front. I feel we have gone backwards with the Caterham.
Braking: The car will spin if you combine braking & steering and linked to this is some of the lift off oversteer in slower corners. There’s not nearly enough stopping power from the brakes and there needs to by a dynamic shift in handling. *see below on the Ariel
Ariel Atom 300
Delighted to report that we have a delight in the making here! This car highlights the true potential of the Sim because like the FC it breaks new ground on certain handling features.
Turn In: this is the first car on the Sim with REAL turn in power. You can spin it if you turn the wheel too quickly. The beauty is that you feel totally connected to the steering, it is responsive and you can gauge how much and at what speed to enter a corner with the steering. (*see below re tyre pressures)
Power: climbing onto the power is fantastic with this car and like RL the car is pretty prone to sliding on the gas – but it’s controllable and you can feel the limit. A bit like the FC, I would love to see faster / catchable twitches to make you work harder but not at the expense of driveability – which the 300 has in abundance.
Braking: it falls down slightly on the lack of braking grip but once I dialled into the fact that I couldn’t brake so late it wasn’t a problem.
Trail braking: it struggles with this sadly. In fact any deceleration on entry to the corner really upsets the rear and it wants to spin. It would be great to have the positives of this car and remove the instability of braking and steering.
Graphics: superb and feels like you’re driving the real thing. Especially with the building whine from the engine which is unique to Atom – where do you guys find the time to replicate this stuff..?!
V8 Racer RS
This car closely resembles the CN / Speed Series car I’ve been testing for TIGA this season so it’s great to see this finding its feet on the Sim.
Default tyre
General: steering felt vague and made the car feel too lazy and soft. Too much entry u/steer – really this car should drive more like the FC but with more power and a little more downforce.
On Flash tyre the o/steer was bad. It ploughed on Match (like the FC) and wasn’t improved on White.
Audi DTM
Still loving the excellent cockpit and the tight engine tones in this car. Here’s why I still really rate this car on PCARS
Turn In: the steering response is excellent with really good turning power on entry to the corner, you can put it where you want. In my case that means all over the kerbs
Kerbs: the DTM nails the kerbs smartly and feels /sounds very realistic. Perhaps we could even build in a little more snappy bounce over some of the bigger kerbs.
Power: there’s good recoverability on the throttle with the DTM, it’s forgiving.
Braking: I had to adjust the brake bias forward and then the car had this superb float from the rear under braking whilst steering. This stopped me spinning on corner entry & I’m glad to see that simple set up changes like this react realistically. The FC shares this feel but it’s different.
Ford Focus RS
A quick drive in this one because I’ve just been hammering the Focus RS in Poland. Buy the new Fiesta RS instead BTW, it’s cheaper and far better.
In the sim the Focus has a few flaws
1. You can’t brake & steer or else it spins
2. Handling felt sluggish. The body roll was ok but the handling also felt slower than reality which is more crisp
3. Very low overall front grip, all the time. In reality the Focus has great front grip until you accelerate and then you get a surge of power understeer as the torque of the engine goes beserk mid corner
4. Per #3 – it needs more power mid range
5. Liked the movement and bounce in the suspension
Kart 250E
Couldn’t resist taking this baby for a spin! This was also my first trip around Donington which has been really well replicated. If I spend some more time there on the Sim I can fire across some additional on the bumps – but only if you let me hit more kerbs without being penalised! C’mon Casey help me out !!
Sound: superb engine note
Graphics / body roll: it all seems to roll too slowly. The real thing is super sharp, tight and darty.
Handling: I struggled to dial into the high speed oversteer or to predict when and why it was happening. The 250 has considerable downforce for its size and I wouldn’t expect it to lose traction the way it does without a reason – and there’s no sound of wheelspin when it breaks away suddenly. It’s too loose
Turn In: In general the Kart felt too unstable but at the same time if you rock up at a corner and swing the wheel like a chimpanzee throwing poo at a German tourist, it won’t oversteer. The Kart could take a leaf out of the Ariel Atom 300’s book on this point
Braking: when you lock the tyres the engine note should cut and the dead sounds can then help indicate the limit. The lock ups should be more aggressive IE short sharp locks that grab a wheel and release it just as fast. Currently it locks and release slowly like a big car.
OTHER GENERAL POINTS OF INTEREST
BRAKE MAPPING – what is it and what does it do? I played with it on various machines and could not notice any difference so I’m confused. Nothing new there.
Kerbs Generally
Still too many lost laps when you use the track and take in some grass. Would love to see this feature paired back or removed.
Set up changes
I made some extreme changes to the FA including zero tyre pressure with softest possible suspension settings. The result was interesting in that it gave me more feeling from the steering, it felt more connected to the car and went where I wanted it to go. Other than that it was hopeless!
Great work on the Formula C and I look forward to seeing where this might take us with the big dogs like the FA and the 98T! Have a great weekend everyone and remember: drive fast.
PS Ryan Caines please post your 98T setup!!

Spent some time improving the window curvature as pointed out correctly by one of our members which took half of the day. Then made new collision meshes and further ingame testing and fixed a lot of triangulation issues. Further improved the dash as i was still having a bit of zbuffering issues, now its fixed and looking better plus also improved triangulation in the interior fixing a lot of bad normals. Tomorrow I should be able to call it finished and move onto lods for the exterior.

CAD converted and uploaded (uploading - 20 minutes remaining) for reference. Did two versions. One converted through STL format with a 2.4 million triangle polygonal mesh and another that preserves the original IGS NURBS shapes. The latter has better detail but is much slower to work with. Reference model is exterior only, so not as great as the SLS GT3, but still very good and more than enough to work from combined with photos.
The aerodynamic detail on this car is phenomenal. The underbody is much more aggressive than I thought and the 'flow-through' bodywork is fascinating. There is some very interesting, and very clean design going on with that monocoque below the wheel centers.
More CAD reference importing. Like the SLS GT3, it's a polygonal mesh of very high density. Exterior and interior only. Wheels and brakes are included, but no other suspension or engine detail. Uploading now, but it'll take a while. This one saves to a 650Mb mesh and that's with compression!
There are several ways that a true simulation can be accessible to "casual" players.
First, easy cars in real life should be easy. So casual players could play the easier cars. Just like in real life, since we are simulating real life. A Mini or Miata class should be easy to have fun racing in for just about anyone. A hardcore player will still beat the casual player in most cases, but the casual player will still be having fun on the island. A Lotus 49 on the other hand should not be "dumbed down", and we should not expect casual drivers to really control such a car bare.
Second, aids.
Ok trying both tyres with 0.7 bar is... uhm, interesting. =)
A works brilliantly, as i said lots of grip everywhere although the tyre temps stay pretty low in the middle of the tyre compared to the outer sides.
Doing the same with B:
Once in 5th gear the car just doesn't want to accelerate anymore. I literally can't reach 6th gear on the straight.
Is that the buckling ?
The problem is not there with 1.7 Bar so it must have to do with that.
I guess it's one setup exploit less from now on.
This also answers my own post above since i tested both tyres with 1 bar with which i could reach 6th with the B tyre but lost lots of time reaching the higher speeds.
Yes, that is the buckling. And yes, there is hopefully one less setup exploit now.
Did this just happen (Build 570), or did "A" always do this for you?
We have had tires with the CPU load of "A" deployed for a while now, with the kart being the first. So, yes, "A" is a higher CPU load tire. However, we have had no real CPU usage problem reports until this one. Unless I missed them.
Currently, these tires are the higher CPU load tires: FB "B", FB "C", FC "A", FC "B", kart. Basically, the "Flexi" tires. The FB versions use a barely roughed out and different approach (and are actually more CPU intensive than the FC ones). The FC ones are the most evolved behaviorally right now.
edit: The good news is that all of these flexi tires are using a little bit of overkill in carcass discretization, on purpose, to see how close we are to the limit for what machines. The FC "A" is using about twice what it needs to to hit its behavior target.
On a related note, I'm running this car through Project Falcon right now to get an idea of side aero forces. Some very interesting trends are showing up w.r.t downforce created in sideways motion. The unique shape of this thing has some results which are very different from most other cars.
Fun picture from the current test. They've really improved the calculations of this program in recent versions. Still not something to trust for absolute accuracy, but few CFD programs are and having a data point or two to calibrate against makes it super useful. I hope they put it up for sale at a reasonable price with the free development versions expire.
Thursday: 10h
Total: 24,5h
# Cockpit diff, spec, norm and glow textures made
# Added floating polys for alpha stickers
# Alpha texture for stickers @ switches made
