Wow I go away for a few hours and this thread goes nuts.
Only the cars allowed. And only 4 Bmw's. Good FF's cars to be driven.
We don't want a BMW trophy or do we?? Also priesty I need to check that.
Got some things to prepare to start Uni tomorrow so I'll check new sign ups tomorrow.
Also we may have a problemas HMS signed up and that means he has prefference over the beemer. Can you guys sort that out??

Kamy what have you done to the Integra mate? D:
In testing tonight its ok but we are so slow in a straight line! Out of every corner i'm getting overtaken by any car and having to defend more than anything else. People must have noticed that too. Did you test them at Suzuka East?
We have good brakes as usual, just the car is too heavy or something. Or maybe we should run the Stage 2 turbo (and de-tune the engine) like we did last season, it could just be the crap power curve we have without the turbo. Would be worth testing at GVE or Nurburgring GPD to see better comparisons, Suzuka is slow and we wouldn't lose as much time there.
Fun racing tonight though, cheers guys

I guess you're the 4th as you showed interest in the car in the other thread.
Other people... Have you atleast tryed the other cars??
Andy I'll look into it. In my tests Integra was 2 miles slower than the fastest car in top speed.
If time allow it I'll try and give the cars a test on other track.

Assuming people are running to the regulations you set at the moment, the Volvo looks very quick in a straight line and the Mazda too - the rest are so-so. I think the Volvo and Mazda probably struggle in the corners, but the Volvo breezed past me even when I was in the slipstream of a BMW! I guess the ****e corner handling will make up for it though

Yeah I was quicker on the straights it seemed but I can tell you that damn right it suffers in the corners
even breaking early it still doesnt want to turn

Have to agree, I have was running laps on Tsukaba with Honda at 296bhp 1330kgs and the Mazda at 285bhp and 1250kgs (can't remember the PP levels but at these specs the Mazda was higer) and my Mazda isn't even run in yet and it's around 1 second a lap faster, I'm postin low 1.00's and in the Honda it's low 1.01s.
I think there might be 2 much weight on the Honda, why is it so high?

flimbo84I'm a bit confused - please can somebody confirm what day this will be running? It sounds like a great league but I already race on Monday nights
Season 1 was run on Monday nights however due to real life some of the regulars had to drop out towards the end of the season. Because of this we are looking to an alternate night so we can get as many as from the first season as possible so at present we don't have a final decision on the day.....
Make sense?

if we do another practice session tonight (or in fact whenever we next do one) can we try doing a race with a rolling start? I know you can only select that on a few tracks, but we could just set the race to one lap longer and do it ourselves, shouldn't be too difficult. I also know they don't have rolling starts in BTCC, but I think something needs to be done to make the starts more even, the advantage the BMW's have is pretty stupid and makes qualifying a bit pointless for the fwd cars, as we'll end up last by the first corner anyway..

In a way it's nice for the RWDs to have that "advantage", but it's somewhat a huge advantage I'd agree. I qualified on 2nd at Rome last night but was 6th and having to defend 7th into the first corner! Although we did have quite a few BMWs in that room (maybe 6?), which is more than we'd have in the actual series.
People might understand why Kamy wants a limit on RWD cars in the championship now - a few off the start line with mega starts is fun, but too many and it becomes pointless driving an FF car if we do standing starts.

Again lads, I'll get A room up tonight. Relatively easy day in the garage and on my way home as we speak. Stuck in traffic though and havent moved for 5 minutes :/... Thought i'd pop on. I'm A bit miffed that theres high chance I won't get the RWD but if push comes to shove I'll just use A teggy or something...
