PURE | GT4 Cup: Season 3 | Season End

[NEPALII]

Just did 3 laps with the BMW M3, Lotus Evora and Aston Vantage. Full aero, default transmission, default LSD and default suspension. Surprising results! Test performed at Nurburgring GP/D.

Lotus Evora - 1.33.0xx
BMW M3 - 1.33.1xx
Aston Vantage - 1.33.0xx

The Evora can do 32s more easily than the BMW and the Aston. They need to be pushed more to achieve those laps than the Evora, probably due to the weight. Evora has great turn in, no understeer whatsoever. BMW understeers a bit but very balanced on exit of corners. The Aston, having no rear wing, is the wildest of them all. If you don't get the exit right on 2nd gear, it snaps. Oversteer can happen more frequently but it is manageable. The tires when warm the car feels great.

Overall, the Evora is the easiest car to drive while the Aston the toughest. The BMW felt the heaviest to me(probably the understeer). I have to say the specs seem to be spot on, very balanced. Guys, don't be intimidated by the lack of rear wing on the Aston! The car is great, actually on tracks like Monza it will be the quickest along with the Maserati.

Aderrrm, join me on the team? The wildest car and the new car. Come on please?

Well hello there team mate.

Off to a good start already.
Preliminary testing tells me this car is going to be fast, which means it won't agree with corners too well.


I was in a hurry, so I forgot to mention earlier, my preferred time is 17:00. That's only noon for me and 9am for the west coast folk.
These crazy kids sleep in all day on the weekend anymore.

 

[phil bell]

I will sign with Lotus UK and have Biffy as my teammate.

Sigh. Late again. No time for testing so...

From the looks of the pictures it would seem we should have the front aero on the 370Z?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I don't believe so.

First impressions of my Lotus: I love it already. Easy to drive, tons of grip, and doesn't try to kill me when I push it. Ponyboy, if you want, I'll PM you the set-up I slapped on it, and you can try it out and see what you think.

It's encouraged for drivers to team up with perhaps a slightly slower driver than themselves, so no sorry. Plus I don't mind which car I drive so I'll drive the last car which remains.

I've opened up the privateer #1 team so you still have a choice of a 370Z, Corvette, Camaro, M3, Aston or Maserati. I'll put you in the corvette for now.

From the looks of the pictures it would seem we should have the front aero on the 370Z?

I've added front aero type A for you.

I will sign with Lotus UK and have Biffy as my teammate.

Good to have you here Litchi. Seeing as phil had asked to be in Lotus UK before you, he gets the place. However phil, if you don't mind switching to another car, let me know and Litchi can have the spot. For now Litchi, pick another car and team.

Hi Tony.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Aderrrm any chance if the teams get taken or just out of choice could I be an independant with my Pirtek colours or if I go Chevy Silverline colours?

Btw Tony hope your aware there is ballast here .

How about this Paul. You can make Privateer team #2 with any car apart from an Aston, M3 or Evora as long as you use the Silverline colours.

And there's a limit of 120kg this season which is 3 wins worth. I think it's a happy medium.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Uh well im between Chevys and Aston, I thought the Aston would look good in Pirtek .

 

[Adam41]

Don't want any yellow wheels in this cup lol. If you want an Aston, there's only one spot in Rhesus Racing left. Reason I don't want an Aston, M3 or Evora to make up a privateer team is because there's already 2 teams of them cars.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Damn you Aderrrm, you know I be loving the Pirtek colours .... .

 

[phil bell]

Damn you Aderrrm, you know I be loving the Pirtek colours .... .

Me too, reminds me of V8 Supercars champion Marcos Ambrose...And if Im not wrong Andrew Jordan runs those colors now in BTCC.
I will likely run the Lotus but if Biffy would prefer Litchi as his teammate (due to previous experience, etc) or Litchi wants the spot badly I'll gladly switch.
If I were to switch it would not be the Camaro though as the visibility is marginal...If I were to swap I'd grab a privateer 370Z and name the team Kelly Racing.

 

[Adam41]

Poor Biffy has to make a tough decision Na I'm sure Biffy will be fine with you as a team mate. And I assume you use cockpit view phil, in which case the Evora is a good car for that.

Litchi, let me know which car and team you want to drive in.

Also just put up a qualifying spreadsheet for recording times.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Yeah Phil the #77 Jordan Vectra and the #1/#4 Ambrose cars were epic

 

[paulmac2k9]

College mates!! Please forgive the double post also! .

 

[Adam41]

You can tell you live in Scotland talking about goats and sheep

Bagsie sheep.

 

[paulmac2k9]

🤬 So you seen it! . (Note to self never leave GTP up in college)

 

[phil bell]

College mates!! Please forgive the double post also! .

Hope you didn't leave your Facebook on as well, nasty things can happen (Ask me how I know).
And I am going to purchase and test the lotus and rush handful of laps in, anyone feel free to join.

Exactly, you team up with a slower driver, me!

 

[phil bell]

Is it possible to upload an iphone video file up here? I want to ask you guys to review my driving.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You may have to upload it to YouTube first, then post it here.
