[Strawman Andy]

I dont want an argument or anything but just to kinda defend the cars here and say the top 4 are 4 different manufactured cars. 👍

Just saying...........

Look at the results.

I had my worst weekend at Tsukuba

JB worst weekend was at Laguna

The Jag's worst has been Le Mans and Laguna

Were's the BMW's worst? 4 different tracks, 4 different strengths needed and the BMW has always been there.

I just don't even see the car having a bad weekend - good on its tyres too, so race 2 is fine. Clearly able to match speed on straights at Le Mans and Monza. I think its just got an edge, because there always been BMW's there. But you don't always see a Dodge up there at every event, or Lexus or Jag

I think if you put Jonzster in the BMW he'd be leading the championship

You ever thought maybe the faster drivers are in the BMW?

 

[Strawman Andy]

Well take the Vette from S3. Alien managed to kick us for dead, but others in it too were able to beat us too. Not saying there rubbish, but they weren't the best and were still able to beat us.

You're 2 points behind because akmuq pulled over - should be 6 imo but you can play your games

From the start of the season the BMW was seen as the worst car in a straight line in turns of speed. But at Le Mans it was proved to be fast in the straights.

Im just not sure there is a disadvantage of the BMW - if anything it should be Monza, but to be only 1 second behind King is Gedi than think about how many mistake(s) Gedi might of made, and if Gedi is equal pace to King, and then 1 second doesnt look so big because in the race you're clearly able to match the Dodge's top speed

 

[DaxCobra]

God, who complains about Car specs...

Not me.

I suggest you change the tone of your comments.............

 

[Strawman Andy]

Well thats what you did - Im just stating thats how you won the race

 

[DaxCobra]

Lol playing games... Cause neljack is such a cunning young sorcerer.

Lets all drive a BMW for the rest of the season then long as your happy chap:idea: Missed the first half now due to this cobblers.

 

[Akmuq]

Also worth nothing is even with less BHP the Lexus is up on the BMW at the end of straights, and I don't see what the tyre wear argument is, it did 2 stops at Tsukuba, like everyone bar Jonzster who did 1 stop, and was matching leader times until their stops, so wasn't holding back. I went 17 laps and neljack also went 17 laps and trust me, we noticed it, and also, JB was closing in on us the whole race after losing loads of time waiting for Toffe after hitting him off.

Lexus has less power because of the torque

Oh whatever

Fella im more than happy to back anybodys point of view up but im lost to exactly where your coming from sorry i think the rest of the field feel the same.

 

[Akmuq]

I had a hydraulics failure, problem?

Im just saying Im not sure there is a disadvantage of the BMW - its my opinion. Not saying a fact, just an opinion. But you get people like Dax coming on thinking its TOCA.

Lmao!!

Opinions are cool mate we welcome those dunno if its me but it comes across like moans bud, sorry could be just me though like i say.

 

[KingSakery]

Well I pre-Season tested every car. Due to the few short tracks where the BMW might be superior I decided me for power.
I never have been fast in the BMW tough.
She isn't made for me I think.

My Setup is just working fine here and my laps where perfect ask Cunny.
I don't know why now such a fuzz ?
Tight table with mixxed Manufactures
=> racer heart what do you want more ?

PS Keep the tone calmer guys please

 

[Furinkazen]

Every car has weak or strong points to an extent. The BMW from when I drove it was never fastest but stable and consistent. This series is prospering so I see no need to complain Andy.

Apologies King cant help getting a little defensive about things.

Dont lie, I was massively quicker and you fluffed it.

Not saying you were cheating - you;ve done a much better job than I have, Im just confused about my car handling

Im allowed to say what I think - and Im just saying that the BMW might not have a disadvantage.

And when you say testing you mean you looked at the cars to see which one you liked the most. You said you didnt do much testing so I wouldnt use your results to compare data

 

[KingSakery]

@ANDY
Maybe the connection was weaker at your Q-time ?
Cunny has strong conn and mine was too
=> that could explain your "strange feeling" ?

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Cool fella why not just say "Im confussed about my cars handling" rather than going on a rant? I was the same at Tokyo last season did stacks of laps but was still off the pace woud never try and run the other cars down though t'is how it is sometimes. Maybe you dont mean to come across like that but just look at the reaction you get sometimes.

Noticed it before King but JB's room is very strong so not sure, might be but doubt it
