Car is super slow?

[Dïngus]

Not sure whats going on. At first thought it was because I was going uphill, but as it flattened out even downhill the speed stayed...horribly slow. I tried looking in the menus for "Damage" or w.e but can't seem to find it?

What car are you driving and how fast/slow were you going?

[Cryxalic]

I can agree on that. The cars feels very slow for the amount of HP they have. My personal peugeot 307 with a 2.0 litre engine feels faster.. The acceleration in the game is just to slow.

The fully upgraded 205 is a bullet to ride.

Do you drive your car on rally stages?

Have you tried shortening the gear ratios in setup? With the default setup, driving around in Greece with the Group B Peugeot is like being on a sunday drive for me. With my own gear ratio adjustments alone (let alone other adjustments), I'm scared. xD

Just to be sure - check your settings for your wheel and pedals in the control panel. After I calibrated my wheel and pedals and started the game I had the feeling that the cars were too slow, so I checked the settings again and throttle was only 75%...don't know if its a problem with the game or with my wheel...

Check what engine speed you have. When you drive in 5th gear at 10000 rpm the ratio is limiting.

Cars in Greece have less engine power then the same cars in Wales due to the difference in elevation. Here is a quote from the Codies in the most recent Road Book:

" The difference in air pressure has a huge impact on the power the engine can produce and how much downforce is created by those big wings. Power loss with altitude is something we already simulate (you may have noticed a difference in car performance between Wales and Greece)...”

I also think the game feels slow.
At first I only took the old cars fo force myself to learn to drive carefully, but once I took more recent and more powerful cars, I ddefinitely noticed something is wrong.
I even feel the speedometer is lying to us, telling us we're going faster than we actually are.

If you take a powerful car and press the accelerator, it feels like you're pulling a caravan.
These cars are race cars, they should be fast, scary fast.
We should be afraid of pushing the accelerator fully, but in game you can spend several seconds with the accelerator fully depressed, the car barely hits 120kph and it feels like you're driving 90kph.

Do you happen to have traction control on? I noticed that this seems to really affect the acceleration of some or all cars.

[Meszes]

The gear ratios of the default setup are normally way off. For example on the fully upgraded 205 you can pull the slider all the way to the left and will barely ever hit the limiter in top gear. Try that and get back here to tell how you tamed a rocket. ;)

Yes, obviously have all the assists off as they'll just make you slower.

[Smort]

Interessting Idea. I'll try that tomorrow (or later today :D).

A lot of the cars feel OK (even in Greece) but a few, like the Subaru and Audi, feel MUCH too slow.. especially that Subaru.

Subaru with no upgrades has 238hp so if Greece lowers it even more it might be closer to 200hp. That's why it feels like a heap of junk.
