Yay, 11 drivers so far

 

[berty1979]

We will have more than we can let in by the end mate.
I am keeping it at 14 max too.

 

[Pagey279]

Does anyone know if the Merc, Cally or the Astra are under £1 000 000?

 

[berty1979]

Not sure, I can send you one if it is and I see it for sale. We will wait until I decide the teams 👍

Can't remember how much they are, but had problem sending them to a friend, I assume they are over the cost limit.

 

[berty1979]

Mabe they are, I thought they should be in the 950,000 zone same as the Japanese TC

Soo I did a short Testing.

First I drove the Cars in Stock trim all at Nürb GP/D (1 out lap and 3 fast ones):

Mercedes 550pp 980kg 295kw (400hp) => 1:28.055
Alfa 555pp 1010kg 324kw => 1:27.533
VX Cally 561 pp 1060kg 351kw => 1:26.881
Opel Cally 552pp 1040kg 329kw => 1:27.371

I tuned the DF to 35/55 each => all where "equal".

After that I tuned all to 295kw/400ish BHP (hope thats correct; if not I´ll do it again for 305kw because there are two different HP-Calculators I searched for)
and did the same test again:

Mercedes time didn´t change maybe I´ll get it in the 27´s if I test more
VX Cally => 1:28.094 (minor cutting issue at T2/4)
Alfa => 1:28.261 (m c i at T2/4)
Opel Cally => 1:28.613 (minor mistakes by myself => 0.3-0.5 seconds off)

=> Brett you have your winner
pp values are different but the Lap-Times are almost equal.
(Stock downtuned => no Turbo // DF 35/55 // RS-Tires // Grip Real // No Aids ABS = 1)

Great work 👍

My Merc at full tune (turbo3) is just over 480bhp, and the Alfa is just over 510bhp. I have raced both of them online before at full tune with RS tyres, they handle very well without any problems. Any more bhp over 400bhp (may be 450 to 460) would be very welcome, I think they did have close to 500bhp at the 90's. If their lap times are close at 400bhp, any difference should be small at 450/460 bhp. If it is any help, I could do some testing tomorrow night.

 

[berty1979]

The merc gets slaughtered with the mid/high tubo installed, we tried that. 400bhp sounds low but it is needed to keep the merc in (Ireally want it in). Its lighter but PD messed up the weight advantage methinks

OK understand:tup:. I like the merc too, one I saw a few months ago:

 

[berty1979]

That car is beautiful!!!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[kekke2000]

I would love to join this... But first I have one question. Is the time in GMT? If so it's one hour too late for me GMT+1 would be perfect.

 

[berty1979]

Yes it is 9-1015pm GMT so its 10-1115 for you I am afraid mate. We really have to stick with the timings too.

 

[KingSakery]

For more HP in the Benz you would have to install a Turbo => you ruin it a bit.
@Brett: Yes the Benz has stock (with oil-change) 295kw which are roundabout 400bhp.
=> I didn´t use the Power-Limiter
For the other Cars I did limit them to 295kw. (If you would limit it one "klick" less you would have 296kw)

 

[berty1979]

I dont understand these blooming kw thingies, whats wrong with good old hp
Next you will be making me drive on the wrong side of the road

I thought you needed a low rpm turbo to get 400? My benz is old so not sure.

 

[KingSakery]

I would love to have hp on my GT5 game too, but my XMB hinders me
=> I have kW -_-

But if you google it you get Calculators which do convert it fast

€dit: I have to re-test it: 400bhp are 294kW *oh-noooo* xDDD

 

[berty1979]

Bhp sounds more brutal man!

Sakery, did I ever tell you you are the coolest German I have ever met!

you dont have to re test for 1kw! hehe

 

[KingSakery]

No but now I know it 👍
We Germans aren´t all that bad

Probably you only know one xDD
But I can only return your compliment: Your the coolest Welsh I have ever met

 

[berty1979]

Which by default means I am the best brit!
(I have only met one german )

I knew a lovely austrian girl once but that is another story

 

[Pagey279]

When you say knew, did you mean you "knew" her or did you mean you "knew" her?

 

[Ellis]

Lovely as in

"hello im a nice girl"

OR

"Oh hellloooooo Bret "

 

[berty1979]

I knew her, knew her. She was a great gal

Ellis- Appearances can be deceptive, the first one is better in bed although I would be willing to give them both a chance to prove themselves of course

Because this is the 'Interest Checks' thread, and you are just checking if you are interested

Also I am here so nothing goes smoothly

 

[berty1979]

Hmm, I am moving this over to the normal racing section in a bit. I will select teams for everyone and you guys can swap if you are not happy etc. Give us time to sort it out before the season starts.
