is GT3 our current GTC series ? ie Z4m, 997cup etc ? Anyone been watching the FIA GT3 series on telly? Cracking close racing with all the best racing marques in the series. Be great if we could add in the Audi R8 and GT3 versions of the Ford GT, aston, C6R and that nifty khaki green morgan? That would all make for a spicy close racing season. (though that does sound like hard work ) Any chance of a Le Mans event, what with the real deal happening in a couple of weeks time. (preferably not the same weekend as i will be at it !! ).

GT3s will be revving their nuts off down the mulsanne Someone might want to check all the cars can stretch that far in their rev limits for that straight. The only other problem i foresee is the Viper should wipe the floor with the rest of the group at Le Mans and the Z4m will probably follow suit with its seemed power advantage (based on seasons results)

Besides, you would find that the Z4 was actually the slowest car in a straight line in this seasons GTC class... but no need to discuss that here

Are you confusing the GTC Z4 with the GT3 Z3m? Probably ! i am at work so only doing sneaky peaks on here..ie not armed with the facts Now i am confused...so what cars are valid for this series? Besides, you would find that the Z4 was actually the slowest car in a straight line in this seasons GTC class... but no need to discuss that here didnt seem to stop it sweeping top 5 places in most races EDIT: Boo-sucks..why are we reverting back to that old class of cars ? The current GTC set has been far more fun.

And also because it'll give us a proper chance to run a series, and thus (hopefully) get bigger grids, with standard cars. The mass discos have reduced quite noticably since we changed server hosts but 'weird stuff' is still happening...

Interesting I think I'll give it a go depending on what cars are available (I was just getting hang of groupings and then it all changed again ). Glad its not GTC as I found the choices made, i.e. bimmer or viper, in those races less than inspiring. If its a vote, I'd prefer GT1 at Lemans also but its a must even in a GT3.

The mass discos have reduced quite noticably since we changed server hosts but 'weird stuff' is still happening... and there was me thinking the new cars re-ignited peoples interest in a waning sim I think most people were bored with the same old cars on the same old tracks. Using cup cars/low end series at Le Mans is a bit pants in my humble opinion and a waste of a great track. (just my personal opinion before i get flamed by the usual suspects ) I was looking forward to using the new stuff on it. Hey ho, i'll get my kicks when i'm there in two weeks !
