"How do we say Happy Holidays at iRacing? How about Auto Club Speedway and not one but three different RUFs?
With the addition of Auto Club Speedway, iRacers can now own a laser-scanned version of each and every track on the NASCAR Sprint Cup calendar. We’ve got you covered from Daytona to Dover, Sonoma to Homestead and now, finally, Fontana. What’s more, Auto Club Speedway comes with four configurations including the 2 mile superspeedway along with three different road course layouts.
Better yet, iRacing’s elves have been working round the clock on not one, not two, not three but four different versions of the sensational RUF. We have a preview of three of them -- the 500 bhp Track, the 450 bhp C-spec or the 730 bhp RWD (rear wheel drive) – for iRacers to play with over the holidays, while the RUF AWD (all wheel drive) will be released in early 2014. That’s four – count ‘em four -- RUFs for the price of one.
For your enjoyment, we plan to feature the new content in some 24 Hours of Fun series over the holidays. Don’t miss out on all the fun!"

In case you are not clear on the car specs.
RWD is the spec of the Ruf RT12R rear wheel drive - all 700 bhp of it!
C-Spec is similar to Carrera Cup or Supercup (Patron Challenge here in the USA)
Track car is similar to GT3 R
We are still working on the AWD version

Was just going to ask that. Should we add the "track" version into the current group of cars or should we run the cup car on its own. No-one will run the FGT or McLaren... so for today we don't need to worry about the balance. I'm tempted to go for the c-spec (cup) car tonight.

I don't have a problem either way since I run much slower than you guys still. I'm fine running just the Ruf, the c-spec is the closest to what we're used to.
W/HP ratios
McLaren - 4.9
Ford GT - 5.5
Track - 6.4
C-Spec - 5.8
RWD - 4.5
With those numbers you could add the C-spec and it would be pretty close to the Ford and McLaren with weight added.

And I spent 2 hours last night learning WG in the McLaren started in the MX5 and the first time in the McLaren wholly ****, not sure how many millions of $ I wrecked last night:-) but was able to get in the mid-high teens so don't know if that is good or bad but more comfortable in iRacing.
But I'm happy to just standardize on one of the Rufs.

Just finished running some laps at Laguna Seca in the C-Spec version...wow! Awesome car. Takes some getting used to, but now that I kinda have the hang of it, I like it a lot more than the McLaren. Sounds better too...
