[gippone]

[The_Boyce]

Ahhh PANTS!

 

[MWH1989]

Aight

 

[Joao71]

ok, gives us more time to test out the cars .

 

[erikroy57]

is there any spot remaining ?? ?

After looking at the cars at the specs the 908 is at too much of a disadvantage. The GT-One and the R8 are going to be hard to beat, and I think the BMW will be competitive enough to fight with them. The Peskys will be tough with their hp advantage, but they dont handle as well and tire wear might be an issue, so not sure if they'll be a front runner.


So I'll be rocking the BMW v12

if i had one i would join you but the GT1 was my first choice but it was taken and the 908 was the only other car that i have, im looking for others currently

Almost glad it's been postponed as I couldn't get on my PS3 last night, was going to let you know but I never did for some reason

Is there any advantage to taking a diesel car fuel wise? Might be worth it in the long run, don't know though, I found the R10 to be 2 seconds a lap slower than most others at trial mountain when I tested it, maybe I need a decent tune, but can fuel economy be worth that much?

I don't think there is difference about fuel in the game since there are 100 liters of it for every car in the game
