Not very keen on the Triumph or Healey, but really like the Alpine.
I thought the 1300 seemed a bit too quick, so tried the 1100 which was a bit too slow. I think we will be seeing a lot of little blue cars in this race.

Can you give some times GT?
I too found the difference between these cars suprising considering their specs.
3 litre, 205hp Healey could only manage 1:36's and has scary lift-off oversteer to contend with. In fact the whole chassis feels very lively in the twisty's.
2 litre, 175hp TR4 was quicker doing 1:34's. I thought that the gearbox was dreadfull and I had to adjust the FRB.
1.3 litre Alpine was the fastest with consistent 1:32's but I found it a little dull to drive. However you can get quick times almost instantly with no changes to the default setup.

Was just a quick blast round after setting gears, stiffening susp etc, but as I said I don't like the cars so wasn't inspired to spend more time with them....
CarDescription=TRIUMPH TR4 TotalNumLaps=2 BestLapTime=95.068588
CarDescription=AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 MK II TotalNumLaps=3 BestLapTime=95.460327
Alpine felt better after stiffening up but still tweaks/pracci to do....
CarDescription=ALPINE RENAULT A110 1300 TotalNumLaps=9 BestLapTime=90.486694
Edit: amended the Healey time after another quick blast.

i banged in some laps today just to have fun as i cant attend the race. Austin Healey 1:33.3 Triumph TR4 (Coupe '63) 1:32.6 Alpine 1300 1:31.5 Sorry Matt but must emphasise again to watch the cars year of development to keep these races closer. The Alpine is 3 years newer than the latest Healey so no way they will rival each other on track. Im nearly 2 secs a lap quicker in the 1968 Alpine, despite putting in more laps in the Healey 1963 or 1965. I didnt try the roadster TR4's which are later years so they may be more competition but i see this race just being a Alpine dominated affair with everyone choosing it. I'd drop the Alpine and put in a similar pace sports car. I tried the Alpine 1100 out to see if that would be a closer match but its little engine meant it was only able to do 1:38's around this fast track.

Well the Lotus Elite could be a worthy replacement for the Alpine 1300 based on this (see Class B)..... http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=304921I had a few laps.... CarDescription=LOTUS ELITE TotalNumLaps=7 BestLapTime=95.1913 I think it would be a slow, but easy to drive choice (and a tad boring) compared to Healey and TR4. NG also put the 1275 Mini in same class so maybe that could be another contender. There must be a few more Edit: tried a couple more... CarDescription=JAGUAR MK II 4.2L TotalNumLaps=4 BestLapTime=94.813019 CarDescription=Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta TotalNumLaps=4 BestLapTime=93.647949

Lotus Elite in my hands was capable of a 1:37
Maybe just drop the Renault and keep it as a choice of two?
Also we could just use the '63 year cars

This was a member inspired event, but i tried the cars, and they were quite similar for me. I will have a quick test and adjust accordingly, can't change anything after tonight because I am away for a week. EDIT: Removed ALpine 1300 as it was too quick, added 250 Belinetta as for me it is only a couple of tenths slower than the TR4, and added the Elite and the Mini 1275, as although they are quite a bit slower, not everyone wants the fastest and most challenging cars.

Have been trying the Triumph TR4 + Ferrari 250 Berlinetta + Austin Healey Mk2 + Lotus Elite (I've never been able to drive a mini ) Am between 1:33-1:35 in all four so far, Elite being the slowest as expected but also possibly the most fun . Nice combo, have high hopes of joining you this Thursday.

The Ferrari has great engine-sounds, but it feels VERY floating and I can't get any real drive feel in it. The rest of the cars are all nice to drive, even though IMO, this track is better suited for faster cars. I always liked the TR4 in P&G, and its still a favorite of mine. I managed 1.31.295 in the coupe and can't get anywhere near that time in the other cars. Happy new year to you all. I look forward to racing you in 2013. Stig
