GT reserve, the draft prevents me from racing full time, unless if someone can't race then I'll take someones place

Polar we aren't going to have the "Ferrari" problem again? It seems weird for it to be lighter than the Viper and Audi with the same or more bhp.

Just storm's beginning specs. I've briefly tried them out, so I don't believe these will be the final specs.
He even said he was much faster in the viper because he drove it so much (season 2 when Mel was around in GT)

That's why we're ironing out the kinks in the spot race. Sadly, we aren't as good at speccing as you master paul

I'm no master... Maybe at FF cars .
GTs are very much my average zone, DP/LMP is my worst car type but I like to try new stuff sometimes.
I usually can tell which car is fastest though. Storm is definitely more suited to the job here.

You almost beat James in a FF when James had twice the HP and god only knows how much less weight

Did you really? I been cursing you all this time to hurry and get this thread up so I know.
No abs in the Nissan isnt as bad as I thought. I think it will be harder for gt guys because they dont have as much downforce. Maybe the Ferrari is the way to go here.

Well, it's up now!
I enjoy the no abs. I hope everyone else finds it as refreshing as I do

That was ridiculous that night, in the end I had to settle myself down and forget him, even though I passed him a few times.. As I was pushing over the limit in sheer anger thus ruining my usually good tyre wear. Still I was the only ST to finish behind the GS, that was legal 
.
Anyway I might nick one of the GTs but will have a go on each, I despise Seca aswell which won't help.

I drive no ABS for fun in stock road cars, the other night I took out a 512BB on SH tyres with a BB of 4, 2 around Nords was great fun but a little edgy .
Also on Nords I also drove a slightly moded Civic 08 (Sports exhaust, close 6 speed trans and sports fixed suspension) in 100% wet on CS tyres, BB was 3, 2 on it due to fronts locking too easily in the wet on 4, 2.

One of my favorite moments was when the room erupted when he failed at 105 HP over his spec XD

You need to practice in slower cars....much slower. Do it in practice mode so you can race yourself and see for yourself where you went wrong. Then move up as you get more comfortable.

That is why I chose GT. If GX existed I would of liked to be the forever alone GX driver

ABS off on a controller with the Aston Martin was a breeze, despite never actually racing with you guys. ABS on or off, it wouldn't make much of a difference to me. I feel like I'm a much better driver with it off because when I can slam on the brakes without the tires locking up, I feel like a noob. Not trying to insult anyone here that might do this, I just personally do not like doing this. Since we were at such a low* horsepower number, 460, hard braking wasn't so difficult because I wasn't going as fast as a prototype.
*Funny how I call 460 HP a low number.

Put me down for the Dodge.
Shameless advertising, my series will involve much slower cars

I'm talking about driving 400-450 pp cars on sport tires. Racing tires kind of give you a false hope. Control the cars in this range first and then move up.

A 3rd 4th 5th or 6th place contender has arrived. Hide the women and children.
