Animations are few. The front lights do not work as they are not allowed in the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship).

Interiors

4 interior views, 4 rear view mirrors, instrumentation of excellent design, but above all readable unlike many other cars. A cockpit that is very close to reality and interiors that finally do not look like cartoons. The steering wheel is well positioned on the instruments and does not even partially prevent the reading or visibility.

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.

Driving impressions

Very easy handling car with great default setup. Only one type of tires and it's great. Depending on the tracks you need to tweak the pressure value. Very manageable with great power: 261 BHP at 240 kmh with a weight of 1085 kg. The car is fun in acceleration and braking. In tight corners it moves well and in wide corners it handles well as long as you don't overdo it.

Sound

Excellent work, the engine noise is powerful, modulated and it is well distinguished the change of gear, acceleration and deceleration.

FOV

No tweaking needed, the steering wheel does not impede the view of the instruments, there are 4 rearview mirrors and the view through the windshield is practically 100% between the two side rails.

Brakes

The braking power is related to the weight and the power of the car so the braking is pleasant, smooth and safe. I wouldn't make any changes to the setup,

Dampers

Maybe the best part, but if I had to choose which part of this car is best I would have serious difficulties: it's almost all perfect. The car leans well in corners, lowers under braking, and makes traction control easier.

Conclusions

Great car for everyone and especially for running online
