This may seem like obvious advice, but Ind圜ars are incredibly easy to lock up or spin out, so you need to keep it as smooth as possible. Generally speaking, go early and light on the brakes and smoothly apply the throttle when exiting the corner. These cars are unlike anything else I’ve driven in the game, and require a light touch and plenty of patience to be drivable.
No matter what changes you make in the pitlane, the biggest challenge is going to come in adapting your driving style to Ind圜ar. I ended up developing a qualifying setup that utilises the Alternates, while my race configuration is geared towards longer stints on the Primaries. The softer Alternate tyres offer speed at the expense of longevity, while the harder Primary tyres last longer but are slower. The Primary and Alternate tyres are a lot like Formula 1’s Prime and Option offerings, and each suits different situations. Choosing your tyresīy default, Project Cars 2 sends you out equipped with the red Firestone Alternate tyres, but these aren’t necessarily the best for the job. After a few aborted laps where I completely lost the back end at seemingly random points on the circuit, I dove into the menus to tinker and find a bit more stability.įinding the level for each setting that’s right for you is a trial-and-error affair, but I found reducing the ride height, lowering the tyre pressure, and even playing around with the spool setting (which forces all the axles to rotate at the same speed) helped to get all that horsepower under control and keep me on the track. Getting your setup rightįirst things first: Before you even take on the first corner you’ve got to get your setup in order. A quick Google didn’t yield many tips for driving Ind圜ars in Project Cars 2, so after sinking 50 laps into practice for my qualifying and race pace I thought I’d share what I’ve learnt about taming these beasts. While exciting to watch, Ind圜ars can be incredibly twitchy to drive – something we even saw the professionals struggle with in the last real-life race in Alabama. The complication? His new championship is an Ind圜ar league. Luckily, one former contender is getting the band back together. After my first Project Cars 2 league ended abruptly with a mid-season whimper, I was missing regular virtual racing.
