@rolo912011 me and stig will also be teaming up, havnt discussed team name yet tho

OK noted 👍

Bit lost Rolo are we allowed to tweak car settings.
As from start I thought not then I think we are then your thinking of droping LSD.
So with that I'm thinking not, but also thinking there be alot of trust if we not allowed.

Then I want to stop thinking best to ask lol

Yes. Read the Car Rules section of the OP for full details.

So I can use stage 3 weight reducion on the Skyline, just add a little more weight to hit 1,450kg?

Yep, do what you like so long as it's within the rules.

Cheers m8 was just double checking and making sure I'm with in them rules.
As you read rules and then read car specs.

Maybe put in big block letters.
CAR TESTING SETTING and bean read the bit above lol.

I'm still worried on your Ascari lap times to, I'm still 2:20.139 best.
I would blame not having a wheel but karstan on wheel I think, so I'm clueses why so slow

As @V8-Johnboy would say... sloppy!

Sweet, glad to see it's finally getting some love!

 

[Ian_83]

I wonder why it's getting some love?

Anyone tried that honda CRZ hybrid, is it any good at these specs?

Tried pre-1.04 and it was sluggish to be honest. If I was gonna put a Honda in the mix it would be the '08 Civic at first go.

 

[Ian_83]

Fair enough. I liked the CRZ TC which was a DLC car, it gave me some good races. The Spoon CRZ was decent too.

Does the Spoon CRZ have aero as standard (can't remember) if it doesn't have aero it might be worth a try. I'd run that car if it was competitive.

 

[SkengD]

Honda coming back ? Id have to make a switch then

 

[rolo912011]

Honda coming back ? Id have to make a switch then

Well, no, not at the moment. Everything is as it is but I do have a couple of cars lined up from different manufacturers in case of problems. 👍

 

[Ian_83]

I'm only throwing an idea into the pot Skeng.

We need to keep the cars as close as possible in terms of their performance. Tuning may alter things a bit, but that's all part of the game and racing. The teams that spend the time tuning and refining the cars will usually extract that little extra.

 

[rolo912011]

Brands Hatch GP Times:

Ford 1.35.021

Volvo (1250) 1.35.073

Renault 1.35.101 (perhaps one or two more tenths to gain)

Peugeot 1.35.330 (was 0.3 faster into the last sector before losing it)

VW (1530) 1.35.779 (was the first car I ran so I reckon I can go faster with another run, perhaps 3 or 4 tenths)

---

Volvo not looking so bad here on current spec, hence the hesitance in making snap decisions.

 

[Ian_83]

Only thing is, if a car is slow on a certain track, to make things fair it should be quicker on another.

What, so the results on some tracks are a formality?

 

[Ian_83]

No. But if the Volvo is slow on the fast (speed) circuits, it needs to be great on the handling circuits. It's all about a fair balance.

 

[DR_ingo5]

Can I put my name on the Renault Megane please mate.

 

[xflow1390]

Me and DR_ingo5 will be,
team name: Race Craft
car colour: Blue
Both in the Renault


Do team mates have to run different colour wheels?

Noted fellas 👍 Renault now full currently. @priesty_lfc Volvo or Renault?

You will do since you're running the same car. Should a team be running different cars then you don't have to... you'd be easy to distinguish!

 

[Ian_83]

Starting to become concerned, lots of people are choosing Blue this season.

It's just like TOCA!

Well

 

[DR_ingo5]

What's all this about I'm new to GTP and haven't seen many blue teams. In the Meganè series I entered the last 2 races and was the only light blue car on track.

It's just like TOCA!

Is there already a blue team in this BTCC 7 series???

 

[rolo912011]

Haha I was just joking, I don't care what colours you guys run. I wouldn't say any team has 'dibs' on a particular colour.
