Just as a comparison in Pool B at ESRA my best race time was 1:45.5 in the Mercedes SLS GT3. In Pool A, the fast guys were doing low 1:43s in the race, fastest McLaren was 1:43.8 in the race.

RSR times BMW Z4 GT3RSR times Mercedes SLS AMG GT3RSR times MP4-12C GT3Unfortunately the Camaro is not on the list, but looking at last weeks Monza it should be close. I've now idea what times I could do yet, with any of the cars. Did a few laps with the Camaro and could not do a lap without crashing or spinning. Only manage a 1:49 with it, but have not played with setups yet.

Probably going to miss this one, got a 4hr drive each way to Liverpool area tomorrow In a 30yr old track set up 911 so don't expect I will have much energy or enthusiasm to do more driving in the evening Shame as looks a good round of racing, have fun. |

Sorry for bump on L1 TT, I hit the kerb too hard and caused me to run wide into you. Was a shame. Stupid game then decided to kill all sound half way round lap 2 causing me to spin into aqua minerale, so I quit as I can't drive with no sound. Sound was fine in menus so obviously a new bug as that's the first time that's ever happened to me.

Tried in vain to avoid Simon's spun merc at Aqua minerale but resulting damage made car undriveable so quit. Lots of white cars tonight  If we're going to use skins can we please have a link to a skin pack in the race announcement and make sure we only use those included otherwise it defeats the point of having them. Also imho the Camero needs an update before we race it again. |

Np Simon. And I must apologize to Pete, was sure I could pull it of but the tyres were like chewing gum... Abd sorry for all the mayhem that erupted afterwards. Not sure about the third contact, don't know who it was but I think you should leave me more room as I was on the inner side :/
Decided 3 contacts in one lap were enough and quit. Bloody game really should provide better view in the mirrors.

The peripheral vision is total crap actually. Look left and right is absolutely zero use for me in most cars including this one as the drivers seat head restraints block the whole of the view. Adjustable mirror fov should be in v1.1 I believe so hopefully that will improve things soon.

Also imho the Camero needs an update before we race it again.
Why? What issues does it have? Saying that it "needs an update" doesn't help. If there's something wrong with it, please say so. That's why we're doing these races as fun races, not a championship - so we can test things as a group, and get feedback on them. |

Sit in the pits and listen to a Camero go past. The sound doesn't fade out it just disappears. Spanner was chasing me in one at the end of tonight's race and the sound kept cutting in and out. Quite off putting IMHO. Not sure the brake lights work properly either, following one in to the first chicane and their car was slowing with no brake lights showing then as we reached the apex they flickered on and off.
