Wow that's fast! But another carchange, that's another 20% x 0 points deduction Precisely. I have nothing to lose by changing car again. Because I didn't really have any pre-season time to work out which GT cars I liked I've been using this season as a big test session to see how the different GT cars handle and their general performance so I can have one picked for Season 5 and stick to it. Allot of ppl been asking me for GT my time with Ballasted cars, but yet they've all been practicing with unballasted versions...why? Simon why?
Because I want GT Rank times. The ballasted GT cars are not enough different from the unballasted for the setup to be compromised very much by practicing and getting a setup using the unballasted cars. As that 1:24 is in time-trial mode, I suspect I'll be very happy with 1:25s online and with ballast in qualifying, especially as Donington is likely to be pretty packed with such a short qualifying session.

I think it would be really cool to force peeps to stick with cars for the season, and make the ballast bigger on successful cars. Everyone picks the 550, 575 and Lambo. They need more weight! That or cars which nobody uses need less weight Then we's have a genuine multi-make championship

You don't really think that do you? Or are you just being fatalistic? (no emoticon so I assumed not)

other than it would be too restrictive and not quite fair as they bought the game too, i would make all the aliens use the lesser GT cars and only mere mortals like myself be allowed the super kit Its about the only way to balance out the field but i guess putting a lot more ballast in the 550 and Lambo might help, they are in a league of their own so far in the GT class. Even i can set a time 2 secs quicker in the 550 than i can in several other GT's.

I was in first with the C5R at Silverstone before it blew and I did a 1:31.0 with the Aero at Donnington. Two completely different cars from which I drive now (but will drive in S5), but still the times are almost equal. The balastpack makes the car pretty equal, if you want even closer racing, we shouldn't disengage the pitmiliter and keep driving in a train. 40 Minutes close bumper to bumper racing.

Im up for this, is slipstreaming allowed Sure, I'll set my limiter to revs instead of speed then

I have no points Paul, so yes of course I have nothing to lose. The cars I've tried so far I've not really enjoyed so I'm going to keep trying cars till I find one I like.

Actually that's not entirely true. Of the 100 starting cars used in this season's GT Sprint, only 5 have been F575. That's 1 or 2 a race.

Maybe the Lister Shark? Good handling and average top speed.

Yes Simon, but if you get points this race, you will lose 20% of them.
