F vee and trainer

[Fluid Druid]

These cars just baffle me, watching the A.I. take the final chicane at Donnington without the hint of a slide seems unbelievable, these cars slide everywhere and are a nightmare to drive, surely the default setup for these cars cannot be much good? I'm fighting tooth n nail just to keep the car on track and up to pace with the A.I. then we get to the final chicane at donny and i lose 3 seconds lol thats even if i manage not to bin it....am i missing something with these cars? anyone mastered them care to share a few settings and tips?

AI doesn't use same physics so maybe that's it?

These cars you gatta turn with the brakes, use the breaks to even out the back end and accelerate out. I guess that's trail braking?

Speaking mainly for the F.Trainer, It is a teaching car, like the Skip Barber.
There is no rear wing so the back is very lively and will cause oversteer. To keep it in check, you need to apply some throttle. Of course, too much throttle or too early and you will understeer !
So, what it is teaching you is to time when and how much apply throttle when exiting a corner (which also implies taking correct trajectories to optimize the low power output). These techniques you learn driving it will translate very well on all other OpenWheelers and even GT to some extent.

The F.Vee is a bit extreme, do not mind it

I could not get on with the handling of these cars when the game first came out. But with the work Reiza has done to date I have to say they are among my favourites to drive/drift round any track even with the default setups.

Real men drive F-Vee, boys drive GT cars :)

Hmmm this is a racing sim, you're suppose to drive every car with assists off.

funny in reality GT cars are INTENDED to have TC and ABS and are actually faster with them. its more realistic to use them. however AMS2 does not model them very well
