Blegh? Does that have the orgins from a russian profane word?

 

[nascarfan1400]

No. BLEGH as in "I'm gonna puke... BLEGH!" Onomatopoeia

Oh, ok... I guess I hear that russian word too often at school.

@ITCC_Andrew so we can use any of the ITCC5 cars in the run-offs?
We can also change the car we are using each week?

 

[Turbo_snail]

Anyone wants to practice I've got a room up.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

@Turbo_snail, I'm on my way!

@GTracer98, chyort!

@Siggers, yes, but manufacturers want good results..

Adding my first "W" to ITCC V preseason now!

Holy Crap! 6 Podiums Today!

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

ITCC V is turning out to be an excellent success.

Edit: with guest appearances from @Zuel and @Johnnypenso...

 

[nascarfan1400]

Can we do this again tomorrow?

 

[Turbo_snail]

Really pissed that I couldn't run well in the manuafacterer test

 

[gtpcaine]

Just to let you know, I won't be running next season. The timing for me is a little awequard with the WGTC and WEC as they overlap. I prefer endurance racing, so I'm going to side with them. Perhaps I will return for season 6, we'll see.

But for now, good luck and enjoy it!

 

[Turbo_snail]

Championship = blown open

 

[Siggers]

Yeah... BMW OP

BMW:
285 hp., 1200 kg., 462pp

^Yeah RWD with the same weight as the FFs is unusual. I didn't notice that until you mentioned it. I didn't bother driving it because I knew from past experience that it overseers like crazy and is the most difficult to control...but with that spec it will certainly be the quickest on raw lap pace.

My BMW from last season was on pace most tracks and was 90kg heavier than the FFs

On one hand, I'm sad that a good guy won't be in the running this season.

On the other hand, I'm almost celebrating that Vettel left the series!

In all seriousness, good racing man, cheers!

Tried the Rest of the pack at ascari (still open: Clio, RCZ and Alfa).
BMW very nice but the last sector at Ascari is super tricky. If you nail it good, but the possability to screw it is veery easy.
Maybe my tune is not good but only the last sector is bad (minor tweaks maybe).

Adapted the Tuscani and now its on par with Honda, Ford, Mini. Eclipse is a car which I can´t get to the times of the others, even by tuning Oversteer in her. Although nice drive but not fast (in terms of laptime).

BTW Topspeedwise all are at almost the same range at Ascari backstraight: 223kph - 228kph
Therefore I think specs are ok for that aspect

But 3 to go.

Hope that Sunday afternoon/night are the next official tests
