In GPL my go-to tracks have always been Kyalami, Rouen, the 'ring and gplea's Clermont-Ferrand. We don't have the last properly, and Rouen is a bit evil for the uninitiated, so I say Kyalami as it has a good balance of very fast and very slow corners and doesn't massively favour anything other than the Lotus (which is favoured everywhere) It even has the advantage of being a very good mod track. As for sounds, these are just using kunos sounds from existing cars. That's why the V12 masserati in the Cooper sounds a lot like a Porsche 908  |

Yes, Kyalami is also really good for testing.
I tryed today the Lotus 49 (GPL mod) and it is different from AC version in handling, more friendly and a bit slower on laptime. The engine has a not linear power-curve, at 7000 RPM it has like a boost, and you feel it on your rear tyres. It seems a 2 strokes engine.
By laptimes, Eagle first, and Lotus, are really faster. Brabham, Mclaren, Ferrari and Cooper seems quite even, with the Brabham leading a bit, but she is also more nervous to drive. BRM shoud be the slower. Honda unclassified, I can not see the RPMs; Matteo did some laps with similar times of BRM, but maybe he didn't focus too much with that car.
My favorite car is without any doubt the Cooper, a toy to drift here and there on the track.
There is a problem with tire wear; the BRM consumes them a lot, the other cars practically nothing.

I don't think we have, which is crazy !  I just watched them in a replay offline race and thought, hmm these would make a great Worlds Sportscar Series on the right tracks  |
