The basic performance of the car is as follows:

This car is not installed in the classic way that is by copying the file of the cars folder in the Assetto Corsa car folder, but by downloading the file Porsche 911 RSR 2018 V1.exe and launching the exe. I don't like this procedure very much because, while I know the seriousness of UnitedRacingDesign, it will discourage many to download on their computer an .exe file and it's a pity for two reasons. The first one is that the car is really worth and the second one is that with this car you can test the impressive quality of UnitedRacingDesign products. I have downloaded and run the file with confidence and I am very satisfied with the result.

If you want to change skins, I suggest the great ones of ZL1 in 2k and 4k that you can download here:

The animations are quite complete

Interiors

4 interior views, 2 exterior mirrors, 1 interior rear view mirror, 1 interior monitor with rear exterior view. Impeccably designed, fully readable steering wheel and dashboard among the best seen so far.

The interior of simulated cars always leaves something to be desired. We expect a reality that is hard to find for two fundamental reasons. A very accurate drawing would weigh too much on the total model so the car could cause some problem of slow execution on not very fast computers. The other reason has to do with time and obviously cost of execution: the more details there are, the more hours are spent to draw accurately. So, even if I agree that a dashboard more adherent to reality enhances the simulator and increases the reality and the fun, I must admit that you have to be satisfied and pay more attention to the external part.

So I must conclude that this is one of the cars with the best design of the instrument panel.

Driving impressions

The car is very stable, has a lot of power and despite these characteristics that would make it difficult to drive, it shows extraordinary handling and impressive stability. The stability is closer to a Formula 1 car than to a GT car. Very manageable under braking, acceleration and rapid changes. All this without obviously exaggerating. It is clear that if you arrive at 200 kmh just 50 metres from a tight corner and try to brake and downshift, this car will also end up off the road. These features make it suitable for beginners, but in the hands of an expert driver can give great satisfaction. It is even equipped with 6 sets of tires  including one for rain.

• Slick SuperSoft (SS)
• Slick Soft (S)
• Slick Medium (M)
• Slick Hard (H)
• Slick SuperHard (SH)
• Wet (W)

Very fast and precise gearbox, close to that of a Formula 1. Very enjoyable.

Sound

Top. Among the cars with the best sound, very realistic. From the inside, 1,000 rpm to 9,000 rpm, the sound is clear, you can distinguish the very fast gear change.

Unlike most of the simulated cars, the engine sound that you hear from outside when the cars are in a group are separate and distinct. So a great and meticulous work on the acoustics.

Brakes

It seems that the guys at UnitedRacingDesign have managed to recreate the braking system of the original car. Braking is progressive, powerful. No adjustments to the setup are necessary.

Dampers

The car adapts so well to cornering that it is even difficult, in normal weather conditions, to get it off the road, in sudden braking does not skid, but skims the track.

Conclusions

Great car, professional. Among the best ever. I think it is perhaps the only free one of all the cars created by UnitedRacingDesign. The fact that you can experience the quality of these builders for free has inspired me to buy more from them and I have been extremely satisfied. This is their business card. Keep up the good work!
