Pantera displays both engines.

Is this an official group in game? Or just one you are making?

ARGHHHH! I tested your CSL today and recall liking it, but I didn’t save the results screenshot and didn’t enter the values into my spreadsheet. Guess I’ll have to revisit her tomorrow.

I have to revisit the CSL. At the moment, just setting up a thread for Super GT kei cars. Also, waiting to see if we get the Ford RS500 before making a DTM thread.

Very pleased with my laps and overall. She could be even better if her back-end didn’t step out so easily on corner exits, sub-4:10’s for sure. Incredibly economical, can probably turn 5 laps at FM6 if you can keep her tires healthy. Otherwise, I managed a 4:17 at FM4, which will yield 4 laps and the tires can survive, impressive.

Spoiler: Laps

Oh, yes. Fuel economy are strongest with the race engines. Good stuff.

May I ask if you have the info of the livery on the 911?

Oh Hell yea, love this car. I’m probably biased because I love this car so much, but it just feels so good to drive. Excellent job!

👍Oh, nice. One pit stop.
Just to add, it has the wide tyres and offset. Wheels are the Enkei RC-G5.

I definitely pitted twice, its a weird bug when you screen cap from the replay, but the Pantera can definitely one-stop. IIRC, those were stock wheels, so no wide, with a wide offset.

Also quite nice and very efficient, 4 laps at FM6. Best lap is a bit slow as the weather altered my typical strategy, 4:07 shouldn’t be too difficult and in the hands of a better driver, maybe sub-4:00.

[05XR8]

Indeed. Love the Pantera.

Both of these performed surprisingly well for the sloppy weather they had to face. They also presented some challenges to overcome and were fun to test.

 

[05XR8]

I can gather by the number of pit stops. They’re fun racing like Gr.5 cars.

Was this a wide body?

Yes.

Some great set ups many thanks for sharing.

 

[OldandSlow]

Excellent. Thanks.

Have you any new additions to this grid? I'm assembling mine now.

It does seem that the Pantera is the ringer here.

 

[05XR8]

No new updates. When I had the Skyline SS, it was a bit much for the class, but the Ferrari 512 was ultra quick.

 

[OldandSlow]

I have a 930,(hate that car), a 308 GTB, 2-512BB's, 2-BMW 3.0's, and a bunch of '69 Corvettes,(I'll de-tune a few of them and try to make them into the Greenwood versions).

I agree, the Skyline SS is too much for this group.

Picked up the Stratos today. Using your tune, I ran it at LeMans. Fastest 332 hp car I’ve ever seen. Excellent tune, just be smooth on the brakes and throttle in the transitions. I’ll also stick the Greddy Z in the grid.

The grid is coming along, little by little.

 

[05XR8]

I just set basic/generic tunes, as if PD built the car. There are definitely optimum tunes available to give you maximum performance. Adding and adjusting ballast, would probably make it handle better.

 

[OldandSlow]

Full grid now. I'll run Monza later today.

Hi any plans on tunes with ss tyres other than race tyres.

Hi any plans on tunes with ss tyres other than race tyres.

The tunes work with all tyres. I just use RH as cars vary with stock tyres. Some muscle & pony cars come standard with CH and others have CM. At the moment, we cannot run such cars on the same treaded compounds. It's the main reason why I run RH. Plus, the real race cars used slicks.
