I'll throw in as well then, I've got 1:45.7 in the '71 Escort and 1:46.4 in the Alfa. I have done quite a bit of practice though
I will try to give the Porsche a go tonight and let you know.

damn mate! Ok, I didn't know the track, but your laptimes are way too fast for me at the moment... I need a substantial after dinner training session....

Are your laptimes in quali or race fuel? Did you make it in online or offline practice? I'll need a gun to shot at your tyres to be able to follow you. Last question. Which GTA did you tried? The Moschous?

thank you in advance for the answer

Those were with 10 laps worth of fuel. The Escort time was on Timetrial, but the Alfa time was offline practice. I'd managed 1:46.0 with the Escort offline before I did the TT for the team. I've heard about the different grip levels and it's pretty apparent there is more grip on TT, but is there much of a difference between offline and online? I think there was a post on GC about it some time ago, but I haven't been able to find it to check.

I tried the '72 (white) Alfa but preferred the '71s as, even though they've got a bit less power, they don't go onto three wheels in every corner! The 1:46.4 was set with the red one.

It's probably worth saying that I've done more practice than usual, as PnG3 is a nice new toy to play with

Oh dear John!

You have let the cat out of the bag.  They will all be practicing like mad now!

Ok, thanks John Probably the lack of knowledge of Adelaide track, scared me a bit when i saw the laptimes posted by you before. I guess that I should abandon the H-shifter, cause it's surely more immersive, but I would not be able to compete with you. I'll come back to the paddles shift and i will see if I can match your times.
The VDA mate Massimo Bonni (bimbo nos) should follow me for this race, and this evening I'll notice this race even to Daniele Scarpa, better known as VDA Lele on this forum. So, don't stop the training mate

We will try to make your life more difficult

Hehe, sorry That's a good thing! Means we get closer racing...

I'll probably take the Alfa, BTW

LOL

They might be closer to you!

Be sure of it Clive

I'm probably going to have to miss this one because of Mrs goldtop's work rota and my daddy duties. This is quite a regular thing these days and sod's law says it coincides with my race nights. Next week also looks doubtful atm  

I tried the 2.5 Porsche and it was 3 or 4 secs off my Escort pace which was 1:48.3 offline. The IROC was a couple of seconds too quick and the 2.8 moreso. The 914 was also a bit too quick for the Escort. Just shows the difficulties in balancing out these cars and the need for some kind of system.

[Mark J]

crumbs i am miles off the posted laptimes so far in all 3 cars! Are you keeping inside the outer kerb at all corners?

1:52 Porsche 2.5T  1:52 Escort RS both with 25mins race fuel onboard, offline praccy. Cant remember what my Alfa times were the other night when i tried it. Seems the 911 2.5T is a match for these two cars though, maybe a tad slower.
All 3 cars feel superb around here though 

[johnw]

They might be closer to you!

Suits me, close racing gets a from me!

We will try to make your life more difficult

I hope so Should be a good one.

Yes, and not taking the p.. at the chicane. All three cars get much faster once you get the hang of using the lift-off oversteer.

I've tried the 911 2.5 for 20 mins and got a 1:46.6, so not too far off the others. Took a bit of getting there though, doesn't seem as good in the corners but the brakes are tremendous. Good to know for future reference.

[Manteos]

Seems that the P&g 3 renewed the spirit of the old good P&G team. There should be 5 VDA guys for this race

Good stuff 

[Hotkeys]

I saw 6 drivers racing Adelaide on the VDA practice server, so it looks as if we might have a nice big turnout for this next race   

I'm at 1.48.100 in the 71' Alfa, and I seriously doubt, that I will get much faster than that.

I can add the 2.5 Porch if everyone wants it in, I just don;t want to be messing people around with only 2 days notice

n.b Race time altered pending any major whinges 

[Mark J]

Only if you want to run a third car type Matt, otherwise I'm pretty sure there's plenty of fun to be had with the Alfa and escort this time around. Would make the grid look even tastier though
