    IF you have driven the car, what do you think??

      Only driven teh fixed set up at Suzuka so far and not very impressed with that. Brakes don't seem to work, I have no feeling on the front end (might be a wheelbase issue), really struggled to drive it.
      Definitely need to see what the set up shops do with it, but so far prefer my beloved Caddy.

      Really? I did not get that at daytona! Ferrari better than Caddy 😂😂
      Have you tried the caddy on new tyre model?

      I love the sound and in my opinion its the best hyper car/ LMDH on the game nut it does feel quite understeery

    • @Tdi99
      @Tdi99  Місяць тому

      Yeah I like the sound, and yes I didn't find the understeer too bad, but I have heard people saying that at suzuka

    You've mentioned the LMP1 more than 499 times, so I think it's fitting this could be your ticket back into driving top-level Prototypes

    I noticed the longer braking zone thing. Will be VERY interesting - especially in the sprints in wheel to wheel vs LMDh cars.

    In fixed setups at Daytona tonight I heard a 31 come from my Spotter. 32 was fast guys, I did a 33 and a average of 34. So you are doing good. For how deep you are braking. I couldn't do that. I would either over shoot the turn, or lock up. I had to back my braking up

    • @Tdi99
      @Tdi99  Місяць тому

      Very possible the different session setting may make a difference, but I definitely think braking is going to be why people stay away from this thing

    have you tied other GTPs again though? The tyre model upgrade seems to have changed all the GTPs?
    Or is it just the battery kicking in and the whine that makes you like this? :P

    • @Tdi99
      @Tdi99  Місяць тому

      Haven't tried the other GTP's I would imagine it is mostly the tyre model helping, but that whine is amazing!!
      The braking did remind me of the Lmp1 the way you lock the tyres and you basically loose everything.

      @@MatthewScerriM I will say that the 499 has stolen my heart because of the ability to bind brake migration and just the implementation of the system. Overall I’ve had great fun with it

    on the steering wheel you can see when the electric motor kicks in as the MGU light goes out when it comes in

      Your are 100% right! Just watched it back! Nice spot!
      Any idea what the 2 bars are either side of the gear display. I thought it was regen and deployment but the bars seems to work at different times of the track.

      @Tdi99 I think it was the fixed setup... I tried the iRacing MDF setup and it was 10x better at Suzuka (in practice with the same temps). Hopefully they fix that setup otherwise the fixed series might be a struggle.
