I wish I could like your post 10 million times.
hey, that was a one off okay? 
This is probably my favourite Mount Panorama reaction video, brought to you by former NASCAR driver Darrell Waltrip
Me too, after all the poor form some of the boys in the paddock showed. That said, I thought they did eventually limp through to at least get classified?

I remember when I used to play Real Racing I spent more than a third of my entire game time perfecting my lines through MP. The more I think about that track the more I fall in love with it.
I fucking love Australia.

Likewise, as soon as I realized that the track would be included in Gran Turismo 6 (a copy of which I bought not long after its release), I decided to master “The Mountain” (as fans call it) as soon as possible in a wide variety of cars - mostly production models since the only V8 Supercar in that game is the 2000 Tickford (later FPR, now PRA) AU Falcon XR8 driven by Glenn Seton and Neil Crompton (which makes it unrepresentative of the current Gen2 V8 Supercars).
And just a few months later, I repeated the same process in GRID: Autosport, which also includes the track, although in that game, two actual Gen2 V8 Supercars (Commodore VF and Falcon FG) were included, which made me even more motivated to learn how to master Mount Panorama.
Edit: I agree with Ram - no matter what game Mount Panorama appeared in, it is most fun to race on with regular production cars, where driver skill is the most important factor.
I find Mount Panorama much more fun in low downforce production cars where lap times are completely dependent on how you drive.
I still remember that clip.

Just popped in here to take a look.
I can’t wrap my head around not only firmly sticking to a company theme with so many cars, but also managing to make each and every one look good and suit its intended role quite well. The roleplaying is a nice touch as well.
Excellent work.

[quote]The Saminda C3 Coupe is first introduced in 2016 as a Coupe version for the C3 Sedan
SpectaLUX
Perhaps the standout surprise in the C3 Coupe is its Saminda SpectaLUX suite of safety systems with semi-autonomous driving systems. A first on a Saminda , the C3 can follow a car ahead on the freeway and autonomously brake and accelerate to keep with the flow of traffic from 90 mph down to 0 mph and back but Saminda requires you keep your hands on the steering wheel even when it’s doing the steering.
Along with Adaptive Cruise Control , Saminda SpectaLUX includes Forward Collision Warning, Collision Braking, Lane Departure Warning and Road Departure Diminution. Adding these to such an accessible car is meaningful not just for Saminda, but for the industry as a whole. Typically, to get such a suite of systems, buyers would have to look up into the luxury market and a $50,000 or more price tag. With the new C3, you can get Saminda SpectaLUX on a car for as little as $28,000.
Engines
The C3 Coupe will be offered in only a 1.5-liter i-VIC ProAIR TURBO that makes 178bhp (188 on the Sport trim).
More than that, though, the C3 pulls the compact car market out of its post-recession slump. The new C3, especially the C3 Coupe, proves that just because you’re shopping for a $20,000 something car you don’t have to suffer in a gray-on-gray prison cell on wheels. For that money, you can have a KHT-like coupe with handling to rival a MRZ-3 and a tech suite package that could make a Erin blush.[/quote]

Ehh , i might buy the C3 Coupe Sport but why isn’t it available in Australia?
I’m a bit concerned about the MacPherson fronts. That’ll limit maximum cornering and dynamic feel.
Obligatory Honda comparison follows
Consider that the new Civic has fully independent suspension that eliminates understeer and has the same output figures, and weighs less. And seats 5 with a lot of leg room. One must ask, is this too little?
Is fully independent suspension still a big deal? Because to me the setup is still far more important than the basic geometry.
Well , the new Civic Type R uses Torison beam 
But the tenth gen doesn’t, nor will its type R variant.
(Finally!)
@Awildgermanappears this is true to an extent, since the current Type R and Focus RS overcome the natural limitation with the Macphersons by introducing independent motion into it anyway. That’s not something this game allows AFAIK.
My beef with torsion beam etc is a bit more personal: one of my rear wheels is a bit off, and I can’t fix it without removing the beam, which pisses me off.

I did not know MacPherson struts were not independent.
That’s what I get for not putting 2 and 2 together. But then, what exactly where you addressing earlier, since it clearly wasn’t my concern about using Macphersons up front?
With these prices the new C3 gets into territory of Erin Tauga and Zavir Luna - which are a bit more premium 
If for 28k you can have C3 SpectaL or Tauga Vox or Luna Lusso (this one with similar engine for 29k) then I’d say the choice is pretty easy, and it’s not Saminda. Standard brand FWD vs premium brand RWD…

Like what i say previously , the C3 is getting more and more expensive and it’s ridiculous , just get a 2013 C5
how many of you guys even ever got in a sport kei car?
and if i lay on the floor with my hand stretched out beside the car, i would be about 80% the length of the car. that thing was only a bit over 2.5m iirc
i’m about 175cm tall, and my head hit the soft top on the daihatsu copen… (that’s about 5.74" for you, according to google.)
also, alternatively, you could get an SR3 
it’s much better, and not that much more expensive

The SR3 is for power junkies 
, a dad with family wouldn’t like it but probably young punks that think “i-VIC KICKED IN YO”
