Riccardo suggested this one, I had a drive, and these work well here, so please give it a try
let me know how it goes?

I am away for both this one and the BMW 235i event the following week.
Please come along and give it whirl.

It's donation time again folk's and due to some admin difficulties, we need to make up a bigger shortfall than usual as we accidentally let one quarter slip.

So, If you can give whatever you can afford, we will be able to sleep easier.

Sorry for tagging you Geoff - I think your rear got loose and you half-spun towards me, but if that was my fault my apologies  :-\

Not my cup of tea these, but the race was fun. Shame about the pit-window message - I didn't bother to pit, just waited for Riccardo to catch back up after his stop.

Congrats all.

Yeh I got a bit too eager on the throttle & slewed into your path, so not your fault, although I think I would have saved it if you hadn't given me a nudge. Lost the nose of the car so no point in continuing as it would have been understeer city.

Actually quite like the Saleen, quite refreshing to have a car that actually turns, unlike that understeery BMW M6 I have been driving in the GT3 races recently, makes a nice noise too. Why have these cars got such ridiculously short fuel ranges? If we run these again a 40min race with pitstop would be better I think.

If you're going by the fuel reading in the setup screen ignore that, because the range estimate is way off. My maximum range here was an indicated 14 laps on a full tank, but I think the true range is at least 2.5 times that.

Was not aware that these would need a stop. I think Frex is correct, the setup screen fuel mileage
is not accurate. If people want more of these, I will do some proper testing. I liked them when I
did some basic testing. I would not mind running them in a series, but the voting has picked the
next 3 series to be:

1: DTM92
2: Group 5 (with a possible weight handicap for the Fabcar)
3: NSU TTS

That's what it will be unless people object.
