    The Volvo is tough to handle but overall the sound (mind blowing in my opinion) , ffb and look of all WTCC2016 is great! Real race cars where the driver has to work to get his job done. Well done Sector3

    update: the squeaking of the brakes are super nice. It makes it more and more realistic. Yesterday, I was testing the Volvo at Somona Raceway, pure fun, hard work :)

    watch out cameraman!!

    I bought the Swedish tracks along with the WTCC Experience and oh boy, what a great combination! I had a lot of fun with the Volvo in Mantorp Park.:) Flag rules are working great too (the only strange thing I noticed is the flag calls in CrewChief sound like they are from a different person, at least with my headset :confused:). The S60 is a handful, but that's what makes it enjoyable.:cool: Well done S3!

    TC1 is the technical Rule for the WTCC-Cars. Comparable to TCR for example. To race in TCR the car needs to be build under TCR-Regulations.
    TC2 is something similar. It is based on the older S2000-Touringcar and was used only in 2014 when WTCC switched from S2000 to TC1-Rules. TC2 was an agreement to allow smaller teams to use their cars from the previous season and race in it's own class within the WTCC-Races.

    Has someone experienced issues with VR centering? I can't center my view correctly, but just with the Volvo. I'm always to far behind, too far down and see my body clipping into the view. Tried it with the Civic WTCC 2016 and there is no problem centering the view, all fine...

    I have only one thing to say: Well done S3. Really well done :)
    Especially the sound is brilliant. I am sure that WTCC 2016 will rob me many hours in my spare time!

    Is the Volvo a little loosy on the back?

    very sensitive, at the beginning it felt like rally car :) the first curves uphill at Sonoma are super tricky, you got to be super precise.

    Not just the Volvo. All the WTCC 2016 cars seem to have developed a case of lift off oversteer? :confused:
    ( tested at Slovakia Ring )
    Honda,Volvo, Lada and Citron

    That is in the nature of these FWD Touring Cars.
    You can try to increase the coast differential, use more rear wing and lower the rear ride height, but it also helps to lift the throttle more gently and stabilize the car with the throttle:

    In exemple, with the Volvo, the rear high is really higher than the front. For eliminate Oversteer, i up the front to 8mm down the rear at 8.5mm, softer the rear ARB and stiffer the front ARB. For the differential, the second setting (don't know the english translate for this one but it's when you release the throttle) I up this to 50%. Always a little oversteer but really less than the default setting.

    And like Georg just said, It's in the nature of FWD cars, because nothing directly control the rear of the car. The front done all of the job
