Lost my save data again, due to having to reformat again so lost the progress that I made in the last week so will need some kind soul to send me a Stratos.

I think we found something more unreliable than the "italian rustbucket"

That's twice in two days I wish I'd not got rid of the Stratos.
Are you another one who does not back up your files?
And does that mean my Ford GT has gone too?

It's almost as though something doesn't want me to race at Daytona in WSC as so far going back to WSM season 2 when I made my debut at Spa in the Ferrari I have never done Daytona for one reason or another

I don't have the Mustang, but here's the rest:
Cobra 2:05.3
Corvette, Camaro, Stratos 2:06.3
Alpine 2:06.9
E type 2:07.4

Daytona was always a Cobra favourite. Not surprised it's quickest, margin though. Wow.

Should also add I'm not that bothered about the alpine being a bit slower than others. I'm hoping it's low weight will help make the tyres last longer.

And better fuel economy.

The Alpine should be more on par than that, I got 2:06.564 in testing with the spec I sent to Furi (10hp down on current), so it should get low 2:06s.
But then Joe's Cobra time is .5 faster than mine (only tested each car for a few laps each though, so there's more).

All I could manage in the E-Type that I'll be racing in was a 2:09.0. As a fellow Jaguar driver, can you PM me about how you got that kind of lap time?

Just done a few more laps offline, my new best is a 2:06.1

Suprised the Jag isn't faster.

I thought the jag would be faster too, considering the amount of time you're on full throttle. It's seemed pretty strong in a straight line in the past.

If I had to guess, I would say Daytona is the 3rd (maybe 4th) slowest track (out of 8) in the calendar. If the Jag shines here already, that would be scary.

I'm not too good with the alpine. It kept getting sideways out the turns for me. I found it the second worst handling car due to that. The Jag was like this too, but it's brakes and boatlike handling make it slower.
I'd say the Stratos is the hardest to drive quickly because it's constantly wanting to slide the rear out, Alpine is next followed by the Jag. The Cobra is surprisingly well behaved, and the Chevrolets are the most forgiving on corner exit.

You need to keep your foot in it with the Alpine. If you're off throttle going into a corner you'll get sideways. And by foot in it I mean just keeping the weight backwards not flooring it.

World Sportscar Championship V SEASON PREVIEW:
Part 1: PROTOTYPE's
Prototype's remain the main draw for this seasons WSC championship. Last season was a terrific return for Jaguar, a podium lock out at Spa capping off a title winning comeback. Ford were hurt and failed to win all season, both there cars taking each other off late on at Spa summed up there season. Ferrari also only had one memorable race, but it was the one that mattered - OK8 took the 6th Le Mans Classic in a historic victory for the Scuderia. Now as the field prepares to come to Daytona, there is a mixture of old and new faces alike.
#1 JOE / Jaguar
Joe is the master of Prototypes, two titles in a row in Ford's and Jaguars mean that Joe starts overwhelming title favourite. Early season tests have shown he is still the man to beat, and is very much favourite as we head to Daytona for The Rolex. RATING: A+
#2 GTPANOZ / Ford
Team Ford's new signing Panoz had pace last season but the car spent as much time in the garage as on track, sometimes not all Panoz's fault. Providing he can get a clean run in, there is no reason that Panoz cannot put together a much stronger title challenge this season. RATING: A-
#3 FURINKAZEN / Ford
The Ford veteran and boss, Furi had a poor poor season by his standards. Daytona and Spa, full of problems and unplanned pit stops summed up his season. A return to some vein of consistency is a must if Furi wants to come anywhere near challenging in a very strong Prototype grid. RATING: B
#4 YERATEL / Jaguar
Yeratel was not present for all events last season but right on the pace when he was there. Monza he was unlucky to be involved in a major crash that totalled the car, and with him back for a full season, expect a title challenge. RATING: A
#5 OK8 / Ferrari
OK8 won Le Mans to better his runner up spot of a couple years earlier. Incredibly fast, OK8 has been confirmed to return to defend his crown for Ferrari, alongside a possible appearance in the Nurburgring race. Even if he isn't going for the title, expect OK8 to be fighting for the win, especially at Le Mans. RATING: A+
#6 PLUX / Jaguar
The third Jaguar that debuted last season was a quick one. Plux won pole at Pescara and was very strong and got to grips with the Jaguar very quickly. With a full season ahead, chances are he might challenge much more seriously. RATING: B+
#7 NELJACK / Ferrari
Neljack had a dissapointing Le Mans that ended in the gravel traps in the Dunlop Curves, a return to Spa however saw him nearly put the Ferrari on pole and have a strong run in the race. Expect him to maybe manage to grab some good points. RATING: B
#8 MJ / Ferrari
MJ is the final Ferrari, moving up from the now discontunued Alfa Romeo challenge class. He's been putting down the miles in testing, and whilst testing pace has not seemed to exactly set the world on fire, he's been consistent and in long races of the WSC, this might eke out some good results. Watch out for him as the season goes on. RATING: B-
