After some liberal PR from Legzy and guilt from me for not trying it, I hope to turn up for this. Though i'm yet to drive anything yet.
You wont regret it Spanner, its fantabulous  If your not impressed driving the 911's, yet alone the rest of the cars, you must be clinically flat-lined.  Just crank up the sound and enjoy! (ps some of the default setups make the cars tame/neutral so stiffen up the bad boys). |

Coming off the back of the Lotus Pram Race I thought at first that my FFB had gone belly-up on me.
However, the feel of the Capri is returning to me, together with a big grin.

Just enjoyed an hour online with GOldtop, managed to sneak into the 1:56 but took many laps, it's a tough track to get a perfect lap on, the numerous crests and hairpins ready to steal your precious tents away. Great fun though, you really feel like you have to grab the car by the scruff of the neck and crack on and the bellowing flat six sounds awesome. |

Just done some on line testing with CLive, and I am 2 tenths faster in the Capri 3100 than the BMW Schnitzer, so I am including
all Capris 3100 and 2600, and All BMW 3.5.
I was only a few tenths slower in the 74 Beemer than the Schnizers.
People can now take the Schnizer, which for me is easier to drive on the limit, and a slower Capri if they want to.

Does that include the 75/76 IMSA BMW's ? Stig |

Surely the rest of the BMWs being allowed satisfies representing that marque in the race? Otherwise I want a Kremer 935 porsche allowed  Ps I note Matt neglects to mention the lap times him and Clive were getting in those beemers  |

I had half an hour in the Schnitzer last night and my lap times were very similar to my RSR time with race fuel, but the beemer was much quicker on the straights. I did notice the left front overheated on the beemer so that might come into play in race when it's trying to keep an RSR behind it in the corners. Haven't tested the Capris.
Instincts tell me the IMSA would be way too fast in this company.
Edit: IMSA was 1.5 secs quicker for me after 2 laps with default setup.

Just checked in on the server, and the IMSA's are not present. I believe that answers my question :-))

IMSA is no faster for me here than the Schnizer so I left it in.
If it's famous for being too quick then I'll take it out.
I think CLive was dipping into 1:52, I was doing race testing with 1:56 for the Capri 3100 and the IMSA and Schnizer, 1:57 for the other Beemers

Please make a final decision now Matt. I need to know what to practice. For me the IMSA is approximately 1 sec faster than the Schnitzer, and it's the only rival to the Capri. Stig |

Bit of a shame to hear the beemers and capris are 5 secs faster than the rsr's, not sure how that could be right unless its this specific track making such a difference.  Oh well, I will still enjoy racing it. |

Even i noticed the beemers have wildey differing power outputs, i assume the other cars are like it as well so perhaps you might need to restrict the current cars rather than adding in other cars

BY Popular demand I have removed the IMSA. There will be no other changes now.
The capri is fastest, but it's a bit wild and hard (for me anyway) to be consistent in.
The IMSA has less power than the Schinzers, but it is quite a bit lighter.
I will likely be in a Schinzer.

Nah! Never seen a 52 and don't think that I will either. Well, not one of mine. EDIT: Us humans might dip into the 53s on qually grip levels. |
