Slumdog

Just wondered if Scaley will be doing any updates to the App. For example its only a minor thing but I notice some of the more recent car releases like the McLaren F1 GTR's and the latest Ford Daytona Prototype are not listed in the App, just think it would be a nice touch by Scaley say once a quarter to update new cars to the App. I am sure that new sets will be released which may need adding. It would be nice if they developed a few other features for the Official App also, like the mutliple Pace Cars you can use in the Magic App. I have used this and it works quite well if you have Arc Pro and run 1 Pace Car in each lane to practice overtaking. I appreciate that Scaley have released the BLE protocol, but if others are able to do it, seems a little lazy of Scaley not to be developing new features.

Interestingly I changed my track layout last night. I did have a few radius 1 curves in there but have taken those out and now have nothing sharper than the standard radius 2 curves and this has evened up the lap times a little between the Aston and the Ford. In fact the quickest lap I did last night was with the Ford although I would say I can lap consistently more quickly with the Aston. Just goes to show that the layout can make some difference for a car like the Ford. I do like the Ford and will keep it, its a little more challenging to drive but I do need a couple more forgiving cars for when mates come over. I have the Porsche 911 RSR on my Christmas list, so hopefully santa will be kind enough to bring me one of those. I think I will also get either the Mercedes or the BMW, maybe both.

Following on from my post regarding the new Ford GTE v Aston Martin Vantage GT3, after truing up the tyres on the Ford I decided to sort out the Aston. Now it could be the fact that I have a twisty track with no straights being longer than 5 standard straights long or just the configuration of the Aston ie Sidewinder motor but after doing the tyres it is once again so much consistently faster than the Ford. Are there any other cars that measure up to the Aston in terms of handling out of the box with only truing the tyres and no other mods. I see both the Audi GT3 and the Mclaren GT3 have sidewinder motors, looks like the other GT cars like the Mercedes GT3, Porsche 911 RSR and BMW GT3 are inline models, do these handle as well?
