TPC Presents: Camaro ZL1 Trophy. *Winner R1600Turbo*

[RacingGrandpa]

Two comments here. First, I hate to be a turd in the punch bowl, but we are being asked to use the stock wheels. Second, when I saw the livery, it reminded me of a sketch of one of the VASC Camaros for 2022.

After now clearing the sleep from my eyes, I can see that your car takes inspiration from some other car.

I slapped some paint & stickers on mine yesterday & tried the car out. Damn, I forgot this thing is heavier, has less downforce, & worse brakes than a Gr. 4 car. So one of these pictures should be a common sight on track.

Good ol' 76

I have a tendency to investigate most of the brands that I put on my cars. They don't have much of a presence around me, but there is a push to expand the brand again. And if you like the livery on the Camaro, you should see it on the Gr. 4 Mustang.

Are you actually planning to turn up to this one

Not sure what you mean. I have a better attendance record than most, I'm sure of it.

 

[GT5Apex]

I've only just seen this since i never got a notification for the tag. Anyway, Laguna is one of my favourite tracks so I'm in.

I’m just trolling you, didn’t see you for much of the Supra cup

Decided I didn't like the car. Even said I would give my spot up...

Hopefully you like this one. It’s a shame because you missed a cracking season with the Supra’s.

 

[El_Beardo]

Aye, can confirm Turbo dropped out of the Supra Cup. I left him on the entry list in case he decided to run any other rounds as a wildcard.

I was of the impression this was a one race deal.

Yup, one off race. Always cooking up ideas for stuff

What sort of times is everyone running at the moment?

 

[DarkSideNet]

1:28.8xx But I still don't "know" the track and I am a Slow Boi.

[Drex124]

What sort of times is everyone running at the moment?

26.3 on my last go, though that was in time trial.

 

[Stencedaddy]

What sort of times is everyone running at the moment?

in my limited testing consistent low 1:29s. if i focus and get used to my new brake spring then 1:28s are easily possible.

 

[NoStopN]

I was pulling some mid 1:30s the other day. I’ll be waiting for you arrogant drivers to slide into the sand traps & then I’ll strike.

That would be me, without the arrogance though hopefully

1:27.4xx in a private lobby with 1x wear on fuel/tires. I assume tire is 1x even though the OP doesn't state that?

Yup, tyre wear is at x1

Been testing this morning & I don't feel so bad about my 1:28.6xx

@Pigems @GTP_Guido @El_Beardo @NoStopN @Chevy Heavy @MaxAttack @DarkSideNet @PaoloMX @Stencedaddy @R1600Turbo @GT5Apex @Kermit_2142

Heads up that there will be an "official" practice session open on Thursday 5th for about an hour and a half opening at race start time.

If he did it in "time trial" it was likely offline with no tire wear, which would make it quicker.

I'll be at work still.

I was in TT mode too. I'm still trying to get acclimated to the car's weight & weight transfer. Damn PD, this should have been a Gr. 4 car!!!

Practice lobby will be open in just over 24 hours!

 

[El_Beardo]

Not entirely sure I'll make the practice lobby tonight.

If I can't, I'll have my own open tomorrow, and Sat.

 

[NoStopN]

Certainly not going to make practice today. But I will still be tuning.
