I just got disconnected from the testing session and I'm having some trouble getting back in. I'll try again later but we did some good testing with the Mercs and the BMWs. Mercs seem to dominate at Rome from their great start line speed and will beat the BMW in a race providing that you can keep it under control. To win in a BMw you would have to be constantly be doing 1:19.xxx or 1:18.xxx laptimes.

Jawehawk, about my pass on you in the 3 lap race at Madrid, I can use as an excuse this quote:
" By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver, because we are competing." - Ayrton Senna

Well that must be the most justified excuse there has ever been since the dawn of the human race

Just ended the Testing session, and I'm pleased to announce that the cars are a go. They match up great, with different tracks giving advantages to both the cars.
I'll take some time to snatch some pictures, and the OP should then be updated tomorrow. Thanks to those who joined.

The straight line speed saves the merc from being destroyed by the BMW. It was frustrating to overtake the merc, but then got overtaken at the straight after that corner. Especially at rome.
The BMW is quick as long as it can drive the ideal line, but if there is a noisy merc in the way the BMW is thrown of its pace.
Buck had two dive bomb actions in the rome race as well. Just waited a little longer with turning to avoid a collision and i could take the inner side of the corner, reclaiming my position.
I was thinking of something we haven't done here before, maybe do a multi class race with the BMW/Merc and the 86 GT/BRZ and that other one

Well, I was faster in the Merc then I was in the BMW.. Guess I know how to make the Merc be under my control.

The test from yesterday was indeed a succes.
The OP has been updated. I want every single one of you to read the entire OP! I don't want to hear a single excuse from someone saying they thought the race was being held at the usual time. Look at the OP. Understand it. And ask if you have any questions.
Also, if you see a date that doesn't quite fit, then notify me, and we'll see what can be done. The dates are not written in stone yet.
Hope to see a lot of attendance.
That is all.

It's looking good as always mate. As far as i can see the dates are no problem for me so count me in. As a bmw owner my choice of those two is obvious of course .
45 laps at la sarthe, thats going to be a long race. I tested the M3 at la sarthe yesterday and lapped a 4:42:xxx after 4 laps, it's possible to knock a few seconds of though. It means that the race will be at least 3,5 hrs.

I'll put you down for the Merc then.
Yeah, I wasn't sure about the lap times on La Sarthe, so I just put a temporary number down. Will adjust it down to 30.

Would really like to join but the final race is impossible for me to attend and both races on the 23rd of february are questionable.
Perhaps I could attend the other races outside of competition so I won't get any points. This way it won't mess up the championship while still keeping the number of participants.
Just a proposition, I would understand it if you didn't agree.
