Interiors

Good work especially on the analogue and digital speedometer, which are the objects on which most attention is focused. The cockpit, as a whole, has some parts to be improved, but they are not so important.

The interior of simulated cars always leaves something to be desired and  is, at the moment, the weak side of the simulation. 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.

Driving impressions

Extremely powerful car with 600 BHP and an exaggerated torque of 800 NM, all on a weight of 1,325 kg.Which will make you imagine the power of acceleration and how much it will take to slow down this monster when it will approach 200 kmh and more to a tight curve. 

The power can be felt from the first acceleration at the start and if you give it all the gas you find yourself in a couple of seconds against the fence wall. It is one of the most difficult cars to drive, but not only as a simulated car but in reality, as it faithfully reflects the power and dynamic characteristics of the original car.

I had problems shifting from second gear to third because the shifting repeated itself without my action, pressing hard on the accelerator in long straights.

If you are a beginner it will take a long time to get good results.

Sound

The sound is some of the best work on this car. The turbo noise kicks in beautifully on acceleration and off-rpm and whistles from 6,500 rpm and up.

Brakes

The brakes are adequate, but there is so much power and so much mass that the braking never seems to be enough and if you brake too much you risk skidding, Back to the initial recommendations: you need a lot of practice and a lot of attention with this machine.

Dampers

Here too, an excellent job. The car responds well in curves despite weight and power, of course you need to dose well the accelerator and brakes when entering a corner.

Conclusions

Great car, a monster to be tamed and a challenge. As I said before, not very suitable for the beginning simulator. It can be stressful not being able to keep it on the road, but it's a challenge definitely worth trying.
