Be good to commit to a car soon as possible  :)

If you think we require a 2nd car choice I can edit the vote.

only just downloaded the cars so will have a quick blast in a few today  :)

The Porka is always going to be a marmite car & by the fact it was used last time, it should not even be on the vote for possible drives.

It may well win the most popular choice, but I'd not be surprised to see it win a which car would you like to drive the least.

well i just tried all but the spyker (leave that to the Dutch teams  ;) )

and have to say, the 997 is still my preference. It has one of the best cockpit layouts/views and i am the most comfortable driving it quickly around Spa. Seemed to handle better than the last GTW version i used here, which felt wrong to me at the time.

2nd choice would be the Jaguar or F458, both drive nicely and look the part, and would be happy to take either of these.

I was disapointed in the Aston which sounds like a Mosler or Saleen. wheres the screamy aston engine gone?

Quite liked the Lambo but also looks like your driving something out of Space1999 from inside view!

Beemer had a duff cockpit and was the only car i couldnt get cleanly up through eau rouge using default setups.

Yeah. i had the same problem with thr M3.

And its only the DBR9`s that scream :P

I've tried a few, really only on defaults. Mainly becuase i normally find normal setups are too slow and end up going with something that i would never have come up with.

The bmw did feel strange, bit too much understeer but it seemed to react well. Aston felt ok, but just felt too slow. Jag felt nice and and easy perfect for 3hrs. Porsche, not sure, need more time as it could bite quite easily.

Being neutral here, i can only see this poll going one way as many people here have suggest 1 or 2 cars thy would be ok to drive.

Yep same here. I played with the setup and with the diff turned it up & other tweaks it feels more secure and less twitchy, down to 2m20's so still 2-3 seconds off the aliens but no slower than I was last time :alien:


Yeah I think people need to suggest their second car choice, particularly those with a 911 as their first choice. I'm happy not to go with the 911 if we do veto the car.

My 2nd choice would be the Jag, I think for 3 hours it would be a fine choice. I don't want to be negative but I think winning is out of the question (judging by alien pace from GTWeb regulars) so the more comfortable the car the better! We know from experience if we are trouble-free then we can be in with a shot at a podium. We had one disco last time while running a comfortable 3rd and ended up 7th or 8th. It can just as easily happen to others though  :D

Judging by the times posted there is only 5 Jags!

EDIT: changed my vote to Jag officially now

Found a good setup for it as well if anyone wants to try to see if it works for them. It's in quali format but for the race version (still a WIP) i put mediums on all-round, adjusted the pressures accordingly and down a click on the front and rear springs. I have adjusted all damper settings, diff and geometries so it is quite different from the default setup. Down to low 2m20's with this setup, so not blindingly quick but it feels consistent without any nasty habits.

Err, i swear i've read that yesterday?? lol i take it you've change the setup?

I'm a little bored at the moment while work is quiet so have tried my hand at skinning again! I ripped off the paragon colour scheme but carbon firbed up the rear wing and added some relevant sponsors (rather than just choosing random good looking ones that sort of suit the colour scheme)

No worries if we end up with a different car, I just wanted to practise skinning something and the template was relatively simple

EDITED NAMES  ::) (sorry Gazza!)

Nice job, but we've got to be in British racing green or union jack colours in a Jag surely !?

Gold BBS rims look tasty though  8)

Nice skin, very descreet in a field full of some amazing eyesores! You've got more space on the jag compared to the porka surely ;)

Oooo, does this mean i get a complimentary fanatec wheel for the event ;D

Well i`ve been slaving away also, have a few i`ve been working on..shall put them up in the next day or so..basically same livery just diff colours/sponsors...

I did actually consider green, but wondered if it was maybe to similar to the default one? but i can do one anyway, see what comes out?

Nice skin but wheres my name??  or are you trying to tell me something >:(  :P

H@l9000 & Luke Hammond are the same person  ;)

haha sorry mate, i entered them in Zombie mode

not going to be popular for this, but i don't particularly like racing green  ::)

updated the original screenshots now! sorry!

Thanks Dan for pointing out the out-of-date Hankook vinly on the door sills  ;) all corrected

I thought it was a nice job Purdie, though there was one issue.

I like that you've listed the names like it's the starting grid of a race... but you've got MJ in pole & I'm more used to seeing him behind me ;D


p.s. Have you ever considered a nice Yellow & black skin :whistling:

Also been busy in the paintshop..few idea`s i came up with

Thought a bit more about the "green idea"..something Castrol/Tic Tac orientated was the best i could come up with  :-\, not many green race cars out there that i can think of, can try it if you wish?

Liking the help for heroes logo  8) Nice work.

Also love that red and white 'shell' version, albeit looks like a fezza!

A classic, SuperGT Castrol Supra-esque would be amazing.

Thought all yours are good as well!

I haven't yet tried any of the cars but I'll promise to do that as soon as possible. ;)

By the way, is there any CSP users around here? Any in-game controller settings tips for them in GTR2?

Edit. After doing some research, it seems that 50% is linear so 50% all the way! ;D

help for heros was RR's best one I thought

Hows the car testing going? It has only registered my original 911 times but nothing for the Jag unfortunately even though I was 3 secs quicker.
