The New RaceRoom Group C Cars Killed My Arms

[@oleathlobhair]

I love how the angry ai driver in the Nissan flashes his lights at you at 13:39 after your aggressive pass

[@IrLosin]

The raceroom AI really overuse the flashing.

[@Mike23443]

I'm more impressed by the fact that he held on for 2 corners halfway on the grass. This AI seriously doesn't let up. Most games, you give them the squeeze and they back out or get spoofed. In this game they don't give up and they will fucking kill you if you aren't careful.

[@Skumtomten1]

@@Mike23443 This is the only AI I have ever driven against that really feels like real people. They are agressive indeed, sometimes a bit too much at that maybe, but it really feels like the AI cares about the race and really wants to overtake you or anyone else to improve their position. I love it.

[@DawnOfTheOzz]

If my knowledge of Group C racing is correct, this particular Porsche 962C was the 1993 version run by Joest Racing in the IMSA GT series, hence the larger bi-plane wing at the back. It was technically the last year for the car in Group C racing as the World Sportscar Championship was cancelled the previous year. The only places where the 962 could race was in America and Japan. In America, the 962C was effectively a dinosaur compared the Toyota Eagle Mk. III cars run by Dan Gurney's outfit and it showed. Slower and outpaced by the more advanced and powerful Toyotas, the only race it won during the '93 season was at Road America, and that was only because the Toyotas were absent during that race. Of course, this was a time when the GTP category was dying and there was hardly any competition left to run against. The next year, GTP was out and in stepped the WSC category. Elsewhere in 1994, the 962C still somehow got a last hurrah but in slightly unusual circumstances. The newer GT1 category was established and Porsche managed to sneak in with, what was essentially, a road going version of the 962C, built by Dauer Racing. So, Porsche were running a race going version of a road going version of a race car that was built in the early 80s. Don't try to wrap your head around it, you'll just get an aneurysm. In Japan, the 962C did get a proper last hurrah in the All Japan GTC Championship. And what a way for this car to bow out. In it's time, it's faced the titans of motorsport; against beefed up Jaguars, rotary powered Mazdas, Nissans and the might of Sauber. It faced them all and beat, well, most of them. But in it's last days, it was running against jacked up Japanese saloon cars... and the occasional Ferrari and Lamborghini.

[@minorseven2791]

Didn't read it all, but liked. You sound like you know what you are talking about

[@christianponicki9581]

GTP wasn't dying in 1993. Grid numbers hovered around 15-20 cars, compared with WSC's typical 10-15, and GTP's peak of 20-25. IMSA was experiencing a slouch, recession, retraction, whatever you'd want to call it, but only because of the Group C chaos in Europe at the time - when Group C was sabotaged by the FIA, it made GTP cars harder to source from Europe, but this was just a short-term blow to IMSA, and they easily could've ridden it out and rebuilt the GTP class. By 1993 there were easily 400-500 GTP-eligible chassis in the world, and teams+engineers had over a decade of experience building and running them. But IMSA completely ignored this, and instead they blew up the GTP class forever in 1992 by announcing, "Next year is GTP's last season, pack your bags and get out." So teams cancelled their programs, packed their bags and left, which might also explain 1993's slump. (There's also the fact that IMSA openly planned on scrapping GTP ever since John Bishop sold it to new owners in 1989-1990.) The huge number of Group C/GTP chassis in the world also probably explains why they kept winning Le Mans half a decade after their class was cancelled. In 1994, a Porsche 962 won Le Mans, trailed by 5 more Group C cars. In 1996, a Jaguar chassis won under the Porsche name, and in 1997 it did it again. Group C had massive longevity and tended to stick around whether you liked it or not. IMSA pretty much clawed defeat from the jaws of victory by dumping GTP.

[@osullivan87pat]

I hope the Sauber C9, Mazda 787B, Jaguar and Toyota find also a way in the game.

[@Logan912]

The Sauber C9 and Mazda 787B would be hilariously uncompetitive against these cars (~16 seconds slower per lap.) I'm glad Raceroom chose this era of Group C because the late 80s C1/early 90s C2 cars have been done to death in other sims. The cars from this era matched Formula 1 qualifying pace in real life.

[@fluffyjerome5210]

[@Yodavich]

The second I started watching the video of the guy getting beat up by the Porsche , I instantly saw the grandstand and realised it was Sandown. I grew up only streets away from the track in the 80's and moved back there a few streets closer in my late 20's but I have NEVER seen footage of the old infield section! As much as it's my home circuit, I've always thought it was batshit boring and always wondered why they did away with the infield section, only to make the kink at the end of the back straight a recipe for disastrous crashes and long safety car periods if not red flags. Great link

[@MigluGamer]

They say in the mentioned video that he groans because of the G's but I think that Jimmy you're right, it's because of the heavy steering. He starts to make noise before the G's kick in and stops before the G's start declining, because he doesn't have to steer so hard after the apex.

[@RobertGracie]

+Jimmy Broadbent I met Johnny Dumfries that iconic picture of him and Ayrton Senna was take in front of his actual house in 1986 when they launched the Lotus 98T in Scotland!

Hey Guys, Sweaty Noodle Arms Boi Here...

[@sierramike2113]

[@YayDanMan]

So for that Dumfries video you linked Jimmer, with the effort he was putting in at those low-mid speed turns I'd shudder at the thought of the current layout of Sandown - they've long ditched the "infield" section after the back straight (at 1 min 04 sec), instead it's back to the fast, flowing downhill set of esses (probably would have been above 200km/h if it existed back in the day) into the 90 degree left-hander (current Turn 9) at 1 min 44 sec... and to do 1000km (or 800, according to the history books) around it :o

[@Logan912]

Prepare for all the "WheRes the 787B?!?!?" comments. FYI, the 787b is from a different era of Group C and would be very uncompetitive against these cars. The Group C cars featured in Raceroom matched Formula 1 qualifying pace in real life.

[@6lemans10]

Mazdaspeed ran Judd V10s during the WSC era.

[@ThrowingItAway]

The reason he makes the noises is he's bracing his core muscles to keep the blood from rushing from side to side in his body. If you watch centrifuge training people make all sorts of noises that are similar. If didn't do the muscle tensing he would black out from blood loss.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Great video Jimmy, your commentating makes the video. No small feat when you are trying to concentrate on driving at the same time.

[@johan21mp]

You could run the 300 kilometres of the Norisring? It was a crazy event, but somehow Group C around a stop-start circuit worked fantastically

[@yutuber2222]

So almost all group C cars, especially the 962s, have a synchro-mesh box. So you have to shift whilst counting out one Mississippi. The reason the first ever 962 (962-001) failed in its first race (Daytona 24, 1984) was because the gearbox failed due to shifting it like a formula style dogbox. Slow down the shifts, smoother ride, less misses Otherwise good to see you ina proper car mate!

[@edwardburek1717]

Thought you might be driving the Nissan, as I had previously suggested to Chris Haye. This is a promising mod, I'd like to see some more Group C machinery represented - not just the usual suspects like the Sauber-Mercs, the Toyota and Mazda cars, and the Jags, but also the long tail Porsche 962 and 956, and more obscure cars like the Aston Martin AML1, the Lancia LC2, and even the overwhelmingly crap Ford Probe GT. And as many different liveries as possible. Just one more question - is RaceRoom actually free?

[@chofer205]

Base game is free, it has a couple of cars and track to get into the configuration and driveability, but the majority of the g o o d content is payware (worth it for me tho). If you want to try a good free combo, try any gt1 car on portimao.

Hey Jimmy. Dunno if you read these, but you mentioned setting up cars for curbs. I know the problem can't be fully negated but I'm just wondering what I should focus on to make the reaction to curbs a bit more tame and recoverable? I'm messing about with the BMW v12 lmr in project cars 2 and I love the experience, but at any speed just a slight curb tap more often than not results in a sudden and violent spin. I'm guessing the problem is most affected by damper settings. Any thoughts?
