I was gunna give the Saleen a try this season as i really enjoyed it at LM's, but as it looks like quite a few are gunna be using it i might just stick with the Lambo again. Hopefully our new team mate Bussi might be able to help me with some setups  |

I think I'm going back to the Lambo after a season with the Lister.
I'm toying with the idea of the Saleen or maybe even 550/575.
My personal lap record here was in the MC12 and it's a really good car here, but the thought of Imola and Spa worry me in the MC12. Credit to anyone daft brave enough to take it.

I (daft) will be going in the MC12. My race pace is around the 34.5 - 35.5 but i havn't finalised my setup yet so i think I could manage a low 34 on a good lap.

I dont give two hoots what everyone else takes  ....my choice is based purely on what I like to drive rather than...'will it be any good at xxx'.....same for all series for me....so I cant blame MJ for taking the porka's...thats his preference. Personally, I would like to see a 'no change of car allowed' rule introduced, to stop folk swapping to 'something better suited' when it suits.  |

Well, I have no idea if I'm gonna enjoy my Saleen season. I'll take it because I haven't really driven it in GTR2. In GTR1 it was eating tyres so it was not as enjoyable as it might have been.  |

Just having a quick practice just now.
The MC12 seems very sharp this season. Clearly more powerful.
Within a couple of laps I'm already doing 1.31.000.
The car just feels different than before, I'm liking it. Will have to try it elsewhere and see if it feels fine on the other tracks.

Thats reassuring Haven't done any laps as yet but the ones I do will be in the glorious MC12. Be warned Brian, I only tested the MC12 at Mugello last season and even queried that it was to quick, soon found it wasn't as good at other venues (in fact it sucked at some ). Tis a bit of fun at all tracks though which is all that concerns me. That, and whether Mugello is gonna be in schedule again |

i think DG said he hadnt changed anything on the MC12  ..so must be Brian getting better :'( I checked my qually setup from a couple of seasons ago and it says i did a 1:31.6 here in the masa  so i seem to have lost a couple of seconds this time around, (though only done a handful of laps so far). Masa was best at Dubai and Magny, it seems to suit the smoother flowing tracks better. |

I think i'll be going with the Lister now its on michelin boots. Mainly as i think its the safer option, handles well, brakes well just a shame it feels a bit under powered.
Saleen and MC12 fest' then!

I just felt quicker but there is no way you would detect 1% extra torque. I have had a go in most cars now and can't touch the MC12. As SBG said and I have before too, it's all fine it being a flying machine here a few tracks it's very difficult to drive. I keep thinking Lambo, but then for something different 575 or even the Vette. If I did go Vette there is no way I could afford to carry ballast. |

Right, I've made my decision and 575 it is.
I've not been back in the MC12 to see if I could better my time, but don't fancy it for some tracks.
The Lister I can do 1.31.2 in quali trim and the Lambo will be about the same, maybe a little quicker.
I've seen Busi manage a 1.30.8 earlier and with me in the 575 I can't match that. I'm just hoping my race car is better than his.
With me driving I do find there is a bigger difference between qualification and race time in the Lambo than there is in the 575.
Should be interesting, looking forward to it

Hi guys,
Tried to log in tonight but was considered a possible cheat. Either something is amiss or you finally found me out.
What can I do to no longer be a cheat. Will a vow no to launch SbG to the moon again help?
CY, Evert
