Just to confirm, we are using the hp/weight changes on the first post of the signup thread right? Or is every car running stock?

After my first round of testing on R3s:

T1: 29.943s
T2: 52.113s

The car seems to expand it's limits as you drive it faster and faster. It's almost impossible to over-drive it.

We're using the updated settings found here to make a more even playing field.

rather ironic that this is where I was testing the specs a month ago and now its the setting for a pre test.

Why didn't you say anything, I would've changed it.

oh no, I don't have a problem with it, just pure irony is what I was pointing out.

Charger told me that his team (Red Square Racing) will not be competing, which opens up the 2nd Opel Astra Team.

Pre-Season Test #1 Results:

Next test will be the week of July 2-July 8 @ Grand Valley Speedway.

Avery GT · Jun 25, 2007

any chances that it will start earlier? i kinda dont wanna wait for 2nd july =/

Aquendwato · Jun 25, 2007

Out of curiosity what tires was everybody running?

Avery GT · Jun 25, 2007

i was on Racing Softs...if i am not mistaken its R3 right?

Aquendwato · Jun 25, 2007

Racing Softs are R4s. I'm guessing (and hoping) that Racecar was on R5s.

Avery GT · Jun 25, 2007

Then i drove on R4s...and i really hope that guy was on R5s too 👍

TS · Jun 26, 2007

I assume RACECAR is using a wheel or he's really damn good on R5's. I ran R5's and barely got within 2 seconds of him.

Aquendwato · Jun 26, 2007

You sure you added the +2% power? I ran ten laps and got to within two seconds of him. And I know there's a least 4 tenths to improve on that.

RACECAR · Jun 26, 2007

Since everyone's wondering, I was on R5 tires. I've just nailed the Corners aggressively.

CAMikaze · Jun 26, 2007

I was racing on SuperSofts and using the DFP wheel. Maybe next time, I should use the DS2 until I can get my DFP skills down pat.

Avery GT · Jun 26, 2007

i just drove a short sprint on supersoft racing tires with clean time of 1'14:856 so that made me happy

GTXDriver · Jul 5, 2007

I won the DTM season 1 championship which was organized by George Morley,so I took the courage and tried this test a the "title defender".
Used the A4 touring car with the given settings,used R4 tires (Softs) and got the best lap under 1'14. :cool:

I think on R5 Super softs there is about 1-1,5 seconds in it.
If anyone interested,I have it in .max file, PAL format.

TS,how many guys will run in this season?
Maybe I have a friend,who is interested in running DTM...
You better watch your back. :mischievous:

I dunno if we'll be racing with car #'s in this series, but I suggest you take the #1 given the fact that you're the defending series champion. :sly:

Maybe we'll get to choose our car #'s before we beging the first round of the series?

TS · Jul 7, 2007

You guys can run whatever car #'s you want, just make sure nobody has the same number so we don't get confused.
