I'm detecting a high number of Baestia haters in this thread. If I would have been a fulltime driver, the Bestia would have been my first choice. You will win a minimum of 5 places every start (if you're not to far at the front alraedy) and do a rain dance for every race  |

Could just be me and my driving but I'd like to warn all awd drivers to not expect too much out of the rain. I felt like, if anything, 9f did worse in rain than the other cars.  I usually feel like i handle rain fine but rain for example ruined my parsons loop race in 9f. |

The 9f is twitchy as fuck if I remember correctly so slippery conditions make it more difficult to drive it if you're not driving it perfect. The Bestia however is much more stable and easier to drive. |

And there is this: (concentrate on Superstepa_ and me) Having a better starting method, and the advantige of your car is gone. |

Pretty sure Stocking knows how 4WD should be an advantage, and I'm pretty sure she knows how the car feels after using it in Championships... |

On stunt races in SAGTC
As you guys are aware, R* removed the option for a GTA-mode stunt race in the latest patch.
We do not know at this stage whether it was intentional or not; I am operating off an assumption that it was not, as it wasn't flagged in the patch notes.
A thread exists to discuss this, and to provide links for how to contact R*. If you are going to do this, please look at my comments on the R* support ticket and post in that style. If you're publicly angry, calling R* idiots or inferring, like an idiot, that they're trying to ruin the game then I'll give your seat to someone else. I don't want angry children in my event; and as the saying goes, you catch more honey with flies than vinegar.
In the event this is not changed, I will contact all the track creators to ask them to put 2 x secondary checkpoints in the pitlane. Our process will likely be as follows:
Cross the first secondary, and hit a slowdown. Cross the second secondary checkpoint, stop, respawn, then go.
While this is somewhat... inelegant as an approach, it should mean that between respawns and slowdown strips pitstops get closer to 20s and that to me is an excellent outcome. It's closer to a realistic pit time for F1 at least, and it means that undercuts are actually more viable as a strategy.
So whatever happens to the GTA Stunt Mode, we can adapt. I'd prefer GTA Mode back, and would strongly encourage you to express your concerns to GTA like intelligent, rational, mature and professional people. Being a raging dick about it helps absolutely nobody - R* named NoDo PC in its newswire for our participation in stunt racing. Let's make sure they understand that we can be listened to because we're measured and constructive. Not, that we're entitled millennial babies who feel entitled to everything, all the time.
