    I find the GTO class to be quite fun now. The 'stable' Audi, the 'tricky' Mustang, and the 'holy-crap-that-turbo' Nissan make for quite the trio. The only minor downside is how much concentration they take to drive. They are rewarding when you get it right, but if you get tired and lose focus they won't hesitate to toss you off track in a hurry :p

    Finally got my hands on this pack and cars feel absolutely fantastic :)
    I got one problem though and I'm not sure if its my graphic card drivers or is this a bug but my Audi cockpit seems to be messed up graphically. Rev meter is all messed up and all the gauges and dash also. Graphic card is GTX970. I cannot remember my graphic card driver version and cannot look because I'm currently at work but is someone else having the same problem? I have to check graphic card driver update when I get home. Nissan and Ford cockpits are ok graphically.

    hm, maybe it was removed to reduce the Pack-Price as the livery is (instead of the number) the same. But you don't have it in your livery-Selection in game? Seems that @heppsan still have it.

    With the same card I had that messed up Audi cockpit appear once, but only once so far.

    I suspect it might be related though, just a case of the dash not loading properly. Not sure updating GPU drivers would fix that as it seems inherent to the game.

    Couldn't resist to buy the pack after some testdrive (Nissan convinced me)...and despite my former experience I find the (updated) Quattro very cool to drive - before it simply appeared wrong to me (also in reference to the maneuvres I saw while racing online that time - just ridiculous), might have been fun to drive sideways that way but, come on, it's a GTO Quattro, not a WRC or a Group B S1...:rolleyes:
    I also have that dashboard gfx error (Quattro) but guess there will be a fix for it cause before it looked normal...

    Could those of you who experience this Audi cockpit error, please post a screenshot?

    No dash errors here ... verify game files maybe ? Absolutely love the 300zx and it drives superbly, just soften the rear ARB a click to settle the tail and some finesse on the throttle. Great cars and agree we should be allowed to access all liveries.

    300zx is my favorite in GTO class. Just need a lot of practice. I'm need some cofe break after hard qualification session is ended and then Rock-n-Roll :)

    Mustang at mid ohio, very nice combo. After exclusively using the frj since their release, I had to do a couple races at mid Ohio with the group5 cars to get back in the swing. Did the purchase after that, for some reason I was not impressed with the handling of the demo cars at the raceroom racetrack. They feel much different after the purchase, I can see myself driving any of these cars, they are all fun cars and handle so differently.

    On another note, I am completely with those that mention they are looking to see new features and tracks before more car content. These are the kind of cars I'd prefer to race in rare , this is the Era of racing I grew up with.

    @Karsten Borchers
    Weird ! I had it yesterday in testdrive mode with the Quattro at RR Bridge and just tried to replicate it both online and offline (Single Race & Practice) with all three Quattros...but NADA !...nothing...:eek:
    Had it a few times with the GTR 3 SLS AMG (63) at Nordschleife VLN online as well....the dash looks blurred & pixilated like simple gfx from 20 Years ago...so sry no screenshot available....*big questionmark*

    After reading a lot in the Forum it looks like that the simplified Cockpit/Dash is loaded which is used in the opponents cars and is not restricted to the GTO's but came up with the last Update or with new nVidia-Drivers?! @mister dog and @SVG BIOSPORT has posted screens from that and Somewhere was another but can't find it anymore.

    I haven't seen it my self ingame, but maybe it is only related to nVidia-Users? Or only when in Graphic-Settings the option "Opponent Cockpits" is set to "On", which is Off in my settings?

    I had a go at reproducing the bug earlier but couldnt. Tried different shader quality settings, with and without opponent cockpit on, and with and without AI in the mix. I couldnt reproduce.
    And Im a nVidia GTX 970 user. 364.51 drivers (yea I know, not the latest)

    What a great car pack. I've only been driving rr for a few months now and slowly getting better , but man that Nissan is hard to drive !! I had ai set at 105 and was well back. Switched to the audition and after a few laps I was battling and passing. For a newbie it felt great. Laguna Seca is a fun track and I tell ya it's nice to feel the audi dig it to the corners and you really feel you can give it extra when you need it for a pass.
    Kudos S3 !!!!:D:D

    Wow, I didn't expect to be so happy with these cars. Each has such a different character, still they do roughly the same lap times. The kid did go early to bed and I stayed until 1:30 AM enjoying the masterpieces you've made - Thank you Sector 3!

    One small question, is there a way to adjust the boost pressure? I noticed in the Nissan it only goes up to 10 out of 30 possible, and everybody says what a monster it is - while I don't find it such a handful, maybe I'm missing something ? Still the lap-times are the same as the other two cars, so I can't imagine if this thing has more boost to offer.
