This ruf is going to be an acquired taste

In fact, drive the car with 10% turbo boost and you will find out how well balanced it is and how easy to drive it is, pretty much on modern car level.

It's the power and the turbo. Everyone's, mine as well, right foot is too heavy.

 

Preach brother!

 

This car on 90s street tyres is unfathomably good fun around Castle Hill.

 

Just spent about 2 hours with this, it's just so much fun It's a super car that actually feels super, not something that grandma could take the kids to Tescos in and not be frightened. I just love that 80s 911 look as well, gorgeous in replays.

Aris's "street" setup tips are interesting. They do produce a much more neutral handling car, but for me it is slower, quite bit slower. Drifting seems to be the way to go.

F40, M3 E30, Ruf CTR... What's next? Countach would be fantastic, but how about a Lotus Esprit Turbo?

 

If you want to see how it handle just watch this crazy video:

 

It's a great car which has been done justice here (perhaps for the first time ever). Such a rewarding and involving car to drive in a simulator; the car never really in line from the moment you turn in, trailing the brakes, rotating the car and using the wonderful RR traction to drive you forwards even with a healthy dose of oversteer on the way out of the corner, plus a wonderful old-school turbo engine to offer plenty of said oversteer.

This compared with the GT3 cars, is no contest, imo.

 

Piece of cake to drive with his gravity assist set to full

 

Amazing Car. From the first minute i like the way how it feels.
I am no drifter, and i am no Alien and i dont have any Problem to handle the Ruf!

Its not so hard like you guys says, Cobra & F40 are much harder to drive.
Maybe the XRT was a good lessons for me

 

Thats exactly how i feel aswell. I played 4h on monza yesterday and couldnt figure out where to brake

 

That amount of work on the real life steering wheel does not look like a balanced car to me. I don't get this ”it's difficult to drive, it must be a great car” mentality. Or ”I feel so alive because the car didn't kill me”.
Just my opinion...

 

@ Kristaps
Stefan uses longest final ratio and normal boost - note that he shift only 4 gears never having a chance to shift 5th ...
... and I do agree with Yoshimura that it feels not quite right, at least not like an old overpowered Porsche.

It is unbelievable fun to drive but what I miss is more pronounced lift off oversteer because it's almost nonexistent.
You have it on wide body 930, and even more on narrow body SC (base for CTR) and I do see on that video that it is plenty of that in Yellowbird despite of suspension and other changes comparing to normal Carrera SC ...

 

Because of the weight distribution of this car it requires to be driven different.
This is more point and shoot driving. You cannot going deep on corners, is more like you need to prepare the car for the turn, point it to the right direction, press the gas and hold the drift.

Reminds me the old good GTR 2 times, bit with much better feedback of what the car is doing.

I have come to approach the car by setting turbo to 40%, and then working my way upwards to 70% or 80%. As somebody said, at low turbo settings you realise how well-behaved this car really is.

 

You should revisit the Cobra and probably the f40 after the release now. You'll be surprised

 

This car is a b**** and that's it

 

Had some more time with this beast today and all I can say is OMFG! Just an amazing feat they have accomplished!

 

About three minutes after AC's Yellowbirds update, i found myself being dizzy and disorientated by the major crash in Eau Rouge. At that point i thought: "okay..."
After that it was more of a ballet i was performing rather than lap racing. Never seen my behind so often. The sound is amazing and that bloody 2nd gear that has "dont tough me" written all over it. End of Camel straight thundering plus 200 Braking hard past 200 meters and it feels like my house wants to move. Shifting (slammin) back through the gears. Wheels lockup, screeching tire sound, mass movement disturbs the car. Going into the corner thinking "nah...too slow" gently (not) touching the gas in that aweful 2nd gear and its Adagio ballet. Screeching tiresound simply fills the earcups of the headphones. And then all of a sudden its quit. Although im having a hard time to master it i love it. The weight transfer is soo well done...its an amazing job Kunos!!

 

Love it. Drives just as a Porsche does. Completely different to drive then the other cars great job!

 

With semislicks I put the toe to -1.0 front and 0.0 rear, 2.9 camber on the front, 1.4 on the rear, 80% diff power, 8 psi off front tires and 68 brake bias and shortest gear ratios. For me that really helped me tame the car and get faster and drift better. Possibly a lot of the instability people are noticing is from the too rearward brake bias.

I love this car, I hope we can have more of a similar power, pace and age. Loads of fun.

 

He shifted in 5 gear @ 0:45sec, 0:58sec, 1:34min, 3:57min, 6:39min, 7,30min
He never used 1 gear
He probably used 11/43 ratio

Where you get information on what boost level Stefan used?
If you want more lift of oversteer, just adjust the setup, default one is on the 'safe side'
