[raceorama123432]

I've read about the Passat in the BTCC, whats amazing is that Team HARD want to run 4 Passats and 2 Insignia by the end of the season, a 6 car team?! They is mad bro!

True dat! Imagine having 6 Spurgys! Or, considering its team HARD., 6 James'

I think their tactic of winning though superior force might work, they simply make a wall of cars so no one can pass!

I'll show up. Yesterday had to give up any GT5 racing/testing...

EDIT: By the way, no carbon bonnet for the BMW, no aero or turbo for the INFINITI...
EDIT2: Which Cooper S version are we using? There's 2 Premium versions to choose from, given the fact that '05 uses supercharger... Nevermind... found out from the picture in OP that it's the '07 version

 

[Furinkazen]

Give me an hour 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

Test open

 

[james6653]

Be there soon.

 

[Furinkazen]

Still going.

 

[Spurgy 777]

I'm testing in my lounge atm, might join you in a bit.

 

[Tom]

Will be there at 10.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Tested the CRZ around Laguna and it's definitely not what I would call slow

EDIT: The Audi on the other hand it's easily 1.5 seconds slower.

 

[Furinkazen]

Infiniti is mega at Motegi. Mini and Swift are division 2 at Motegi...

 

[Furinkazen]

Infiniti needs a cut back. Audi a boost. VW not sure.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Test times around Motegi
Volvo (For comparison): 1.26.8
Honda: 1.27.0
Mazda: 1.27.1
Audi: 1.28.9
Will get round to testing the others later

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Blimey its no R8 then welldone Furi i guess.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Oh yeh, and I tested the Infiniti as well and got a 1.27.4. Kartman said the VW was capable of a 1.28.6 and Furi reckons the Swift is just as slow As for the BMW and Mini who knows

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Huh VW too slow

 

[Furinkazen]

Huh VW too slow

But at Fuji main straight:

VW 156mph
Infiniti 152
Honda 152
Mini 147

 

[V8-Johnboy]

But at Fuji main straight:

VW 156mph
Infiniti 152
Honda 152
Mini 147

WTF! Thought that Mini was sorted out? That looks desperately off on paper.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

i was around 156 after changing my gearing to my spa/monza gearing

 

[Spurgy 777]

Will test at Fuji tomorrow.
At Laguna:
Volvo: 1.29.4
Honda: 1.29.7
Mazda: 1.29.8
Audi: 1.31.3

 

[chrisjohnson93]

the honda is good if i can get a tune which will make it go around a corner it might be the quickest car on the grid, it will probably a battle between the VW and Honda in which is fastest down the straight

 

[Michelin]

Tomorrow I'll be testing right after I wake up (between 11-13 GMT) and might hold it on my lobby all the afternoon, so add me on PSN if you want to test with me.

 

[james6653]

Someone should live feed the tests tomorrow.

 

[Conbon14]

Whens testing today?

 

[Furinkazen]

What tests?
