Apparently the Mazda has a performance edge over the C9 but I'm assuming it's also trickier to drive. Just choose whatever your preference and enjoy the driving experience, hopefully with some good racing thrown in 

[Stefan aka Postal]

Finally we get to drive these iconic cars. The Mazda seems to have the edge over the Merc, but the lap times for Spa listed at RSR seem very comparable.

I got excited when I saw the Porsche - shame on you!
Will try and make this race so I can finally try AC online 

[Mark J]

Hehe, sorry Fmg  it was just best pic I could find quickly that had Spa and a group C car.

I am keeping my eye on the awesome looking Porsche 962 that is being very professionally modded on Kunos site, it's due for imminent release  if this race is successful and that gets released I will run a Group C series for sure 

[Stefan aka Postal]

Whohoo. Just did a couple of laps. Scary stuff these! And a great distinctive sound from both machines. I fear it will take at least a mini-series before i get to grips with these fellas!

GTL tonight and perhaps if you asked for stuff, it might get done, I seldom follow these AC threads.

[picnic]

I thought you had the power to create the race events MJ?

[Mark J]

Me with power? Muhaha  but seriously, if I have, nobody told me nor how to do it  I've been relying on the good help from you and uncle Tony so far 

[spanner]

I'm sure you have, plus LM2...

[Wiltshire Tony]

I can set up a fun race later tonight

[Mark J]

Thanks Tony 

Is there a guide how to set up races/series etc?

[Mark J]

just tried both cars out, proper Group C cars view from the cockpit is great and both cars look amazing in the replays.
Theres a setup for Spa here for the C9, says he did a 2:12 with it!    quickest ive been is a 2:17 in the Mazda but only handful of laps using stock setup.
