    I certainly agree with the manual pitstop for the Sunday league, the 1 race I ran with that on, it added another layer of realism without being too difficult or annoying.

    I'm interested to know what people didn't like about the Cayman. I found it to be easy to drive initially, no crazy handling characteristics. After half a dozen laps I was able to really push and find lap time. Easily quicker than any of the other GT4s I tested. (Toyota, KTM & Mustang)

    I didn't like the mustang at all.
    Was also disappointed when I pitted in the v8 supercar and only had 2 mechanics changing wheels that was costing me time.

    I wouldn't say no the Cayman, purely cause I was dam fast in it, problem is may get a bit dull if you're all by yourself in the race.

    I found it too slow, plus it's a bit dull and lifeless. Only my opinion.

    I didn't drive the C9 mate, the Porsche was the first car I drove that night. To me it isn't slow and lifeless "in comparison" to any other car, it's just slow and lifeless. I've never liked GT4 cars, if I'm racing something I want to be driving something properly fast. If a car isn't properly fast it needs to have a hell of a lot of character to interest me, which the Porsche doesn't.

    I love a faster racing car as much as the next person, and ultimately I myself have been more competitive in faster cars (open wheelers and LMPs) . But it's not about me, it's about the 50+ (hopefully) racers from div 1 to div 3 or 4 having a car they can all compete in. Using a slower car doesn't mean less enjoyable racing, it often means more battles and fewer protests.

    I guess it's subjective because driving a slower car definitely does mean less enjoyable racing for me. If I feel like I'm driving my Mazda6 in a league race, which was how the Porsche felt for me, I can't think of anything worse. In saying that though, if a slower car has character it might be a different story.

    'Slower'cars can be great, way back in the early days if Gt6, we raced the mx5 TC. was a slow car but a cracking season of races was had.

    Yeah but like I said mate, it's subjective, I've never enjoyed racing slow cars.

    Haven raced the Cayman again tonight, I actually think it would make a great season car. I had a fantastic battle with benny where even when we slightly overstepped the limit we were able to recover and keep battling. Would make for a great season of racing

    I personally found the ginetta gt4 to be the best season I've done. Yeah practice was boring lapping endlessly on you own because it was slow but the racing was so dam competitive because everyone was able to handle the car and that's my preference.

    Lambo hurricane was good.
    Like the game but struggling to find any pace nearly every car seems to lack grip or something. I know I wasn't super quick in pc1 but I was still mid pack. Struggling to be with in a few seconds a lap of the pace so starting to get very frustrated.

    Just an idea but it might be worth playing around with your FFB settings a little mate. If you're on tonight I can give you mine, not that I've changed them very much. Public holiday here in Victoria tomorrow so I'll be on a bit later than usual.

    Thanks mate taking wheel back today so they will probably send it away so as soon as I get it back I will take you up on that. Very frustrated that I'm so far of the pace.
