Thats where I got the conclusion of the diffculty of driving those cars!dumrick wrote:Certainly, but the 956/962 were, nevertheless, the best Group C's in a 4 or 5-year span...RacingManiac wrote:But it certainly will greatly compromise the car's handling......
To have a slight notion of what was driving these Porsches, I recommend a simulation that is a mod for F1 Challenge 99-02, called Prototype-C. It really feels so real that you can hardly believe and... you must learn again how to drive to drive a 956/962 fast!
They are locked on power and coasting side, hence the spool. They must be dealing with tremandous corner entry understeer hence the car needs to be pitched in when entering the corner(or set the car up to lift inside rear on entry, which is just as undesirable....RH1300S wrote:That's a great video.
I understood that the Porsches had a spool diff - open on coast and fully locked on power?
I have also heard (can't check from where I am) that at the time, making any other diff reliable enough to last 24hrs with the torque/power of these engines was not really on.......
I have mentioned before watching a sportscar race at Silverstone with a young Schumacher going well in the Mercedes..........same race I was struck by the Porsches. They seemed to be hurled at the corner (pitched in) and the went up the road with the tail wagging and leaving a PAIR of big black lines - happened nearly every lap. Must be hard on the rear tyres.
Hello. The game -EA's F1 Challenge 99-02 - is no longer sold, but I'm sure you can find a copy on eBay, or similar (and that's only the legal way...)NickT wrote:Can anyone tell me where I can get the game and the mod
