Championship cancelled due to parents, extremely slow internet..

TDZdave
we were bud about 6 hours ago, maybe later on in the week more will be done,

did you get the car yet?

I also noticed that both AUDI teams are using the TT, well to the best of my knowledge anyway, does no one like the A4?

Will check when I get back m8:)
 
Well guys, I realize I might not have time to commit to 2 series... Probably best I havent recieved a car yet. See you guys and have fun eh?

I just saw it in a dealership and thought that. I guess no one has because it either was faster or slower and wasn't cleared to be used. I think it's way faster. I don't know for sure though

Doh! sorry for double posts your highnesses! Please forgive me!

all DTM based cars are cleared to run, well modern ones anyway, we did have the merc evolution II and the alfa eligable but they just didn't meet the current spec,

I don't want to see the A4 go to pasture, but I don't want to use it either, It drives the same as the TT, but doesn't have the straight line poke,

Ohhh cool well then the Calibra should be used too. I dont think anyone is using it right?
 
no I don't think so, in fact I don't recall seeing it come up in conversation lol

Not any in the planning at least but might have a small one..

About the CLK, WHY doesn't PD make it even?? If it's a great advantage in the race we'll have to limit it 👎
 
sure can mate, all cars are available for reserve drivers, unless you have all the cars in which you can be used as a general reserve and use any vehicle that becomes available,

Thanks, I currently have the A4, Astra and TT touring cars in my garage.

well, I could deal with it until I dug deeper, then worked out that the CLK is faster then Spaz in the TT with a set up, his lap time wasn't to shabby, but then the CLK can maintain 14kph more speed through the final turn at the high speed ring, with no aero, and blitz it,

I'd be up for another race, perhaps the street circuit?
 
I figured the CLK would corner better with its higher downforce numbers, but higher mph with extra downforce is just retared after the 2.08 update. Thumbs up to slowing it down. I checked some other DTM series, and they had to slow them down too.

check these joe, I did them offline prior to the update, all cars were running their base power and weight for stock, the setup lap time included 80kgs ballast,

Ok guys just some lap times I have done today in a test now I have all the cars, in decending order,

Alfa 1.07.338 stock, 1.06.154 setup,
Evo II 1.06.836 stock 1.05.758 setup,
A4 1.04.688 stock 1.02.654 setup,
TT 1.04.441 stock 1.02.397 setup,
Opel 1.04.152 stock 1.01.841 setup,
CLK 1.03.689 stock 59.713 setup,

All times are done at grand valley east, adding 80kg to the merc does stuff all, plus the merc gets faster as the tires wear and it can do 18 laps on hard tires before the times drop below 1 second off, it can comfortably do 22 laps without stopping,

I believe the audi's and the opel were between 470 and 480 bhp, and 1000kgs, the mercedes was 443bhp at 1080kgs, but as you can see from my research it did stuff all :lol:
 
speaking of cars, spaz brought up a question earlier, Did the Opel Calibra ever get tested, or did you forget about it like I did?
 
To answer that question we'll have to go back to basics: the original idea was having one team per car, e.g. 2 CLK. Along the "real" DTM there should've been a "Legends of DTM" with the old cars. But that lead to 2 problems:

1: Specs
The old car were much more like 4wd F1's in a box which would lead to problems making it equal, also because the old Mercedes didn't have much of the tech that the Calibra and Alfa has, and

2: Popularity
The old cars never had a team signing up, so in the end it folded and turned into this.

I'll try to have a preseason soon where we'll just do short races and find out how much -hp the CLK should have (still think it's ridiculous it's not fixed)
 
If I can get the ticket I will try send that to you,

What do you mean by a ticket, I heard people talking about these. Are they specific cars on the ticket or do I choose from a list? I really have no clue lol
 
they're the level tickets that you get when you win A or B spec offline races, I'm not sure if they can be attained from the online events, Basically it is in the car delivery section, it will say something like, GIFT CAR LEVEL 20 ticket, there is a big but!!!

its the luck of the draw that you get the car you desire, so you can have 15 tickets and get the same car 4 times, I know this, I have 3 toyota Minolta's and 4 Panoz Esperente GT-1 thanks to the ticket system,

Just be careful advertising on thread gift car/ car exchange threads for this ticket, read the OP carefully as some people will request cash in exchange for the ticket, while others are just generous giver's and are just there to help people out,
