Next series

[Baikal]

How is the TCR mod coming along Baikal? Any news?

Mod is incoming! Hard work in last month going to end. Realy it will be a 11 full equal phisics TCR cars.
All cars will be on Hankook tyres )  My job is done here- waiting for edited skins from my mate ( for tire manufactureres editing)
Sorry - i was far from our forum due a busy in pack making. )  Tons of car bugs was fixed and now all is clear )
So MarkJ may be... TCR fun races or small champ on AC laserscans short tracks or other HI QUALITY track mods? I think it will be 2-3 days for pack ready to test here    
PS This cars is well compatible with standart tracks like a silverstone GP ( not only for short tracks) , imho. Zandvoort for example. A lot of top quality laserscans in in AC stock- not need to seach any other for this case,  imho)

Not me I still love the gt3 cars. What ruined it last time we ran them is a few aliens found out the Huracan was way quicker than the rest of the pack and it all got a bit tetchy.

Are you capable to leave these bullxxxxs apart Mark? Show us how fast are you instead of accusing "few aliens" to have made an unfair choice. And show us that the Huracan is the fastest of the GT3 cars. I mean EVIDENCE, not your usual alligations.

At CORE they balanced some GT3 cars like this:

GT3:: (Audi R8 LMS (25KG), Lamborghini Huracan GT3 (20% restrictor, 10KG), Mercedes AMG GT3, Ferrari 488 GT3 (10% restrictor, 10KG), Porsche 911 GT3 R 2016 (30KG)).

I still believe the 650 is the fastest, but behind that, it's a pretty close call I think. I think the VDA guys would have dominated in just about any car, maybe not the Nissan tho  .

Jeez why the hostility? I'm very aware i'm not on you guys pace! And I am always thankful of the help some of you give us mortals with setup help on occasion. I cant remember the issues at the time but thought it was the other fast guys who complained about you fast Italians taking the Huracan?.  I only stated what I did above as I remember the first time we ran a Blancpain series everyone loved it and we had big grids, yet second time around it became a sh*t-storm of arguing about the performance of various cars, to the point where I felt totally deflated trying to run a series anymore here.
Sorry for any offence Manteos (and other aliens), none intended.

Mark, what is really annoying by my point of view is the FACT that me and the other VDA chaps ALWAYS tried to be fair in their car choice or groupings, or even with the legendary Legzy's token system here on SROUK. I always appreciate when I have someone to fight against, because it's sad to race alone. Is the opposite of competition. We always (as a team) helped everyone here to match our performance with the fastest guys, especially inthe old P&G' champs.
The annoying sentence was that "few aliens found out the Huracan was way quicker than the rest of the pack". This is a FULL bullsxxt. I came back to the online racing on AC just before that champ, and my only experience in AC was with the 3 original DTM. It reminds me that "funny" guy of Peyo Peev in CORE GT3 that "found out" at Imola and Monza that the 650S was slower than Lambo and decided to pick the Lambo, stating that it was the fastest car of the pack! Is quite a strange thing that he didn't pick the Lambo at Silverstone, Spa,  Nurburgring, Mugello, Barcelona GP and Brands Hatch. What a pleasure it was to beat him on the same car in that race at Monza! I'll never forget that race and my overtake on him at the Roggia chicane. My best overtake ever! What a bliss!
I think Jeffrey should figure out how happy I was in that occasion  

We proposed a ballasts depending on the result of the race to balance the car in subsequent races. I did a proposal to change car every race to reshuffle the performance of the drivers. We encouraged Felix to change its car (I agree with Jeff on Nissan . I don't know how many discussion we had on these issues. The simply and pure truth is that we tried the only two italian cars of the pack before making our choice and we found out that we preferred to drive the Lambo. That's it. Evenmore I even clarified with Chris Redman after ours longlasting discussion here. So I really don't see the point in what you stated some posts before.

All taken onboard Matteo, I already apologised, but I just worded it wrong. I think at the time it was other fast guys complaining that you fast guys in a Huracan had an advantage and then everyone was arguing about car performances. (Which hadn’t happened in the first Blancpain series). I just remember at the time it was dispiriting 

Core seem to have done their own BoP, did it work? Not that it matters as we probably won’t need to run gt3 series cars again in regular AC once ACC comes out.

At Baikal, yes we can run the TCR mod series on a bi-weekly basis alternating with a historic series preferably. Not sure I could stomach Euro-hot hatches every week  Though if more prefer it we will just run a straight 6-8 week series. I’ll do a poll

There were very few drivers on that champ to judge that BoP. Car performance, as usual, depends on the track you race. Mercedes was faster in Jeff's hands at Road Atlanta and in Maikel's hands at Circuit of the Americas. Lambo was fater at Road America. They were really close at Virginia raceway. In he other races there were too few drivers to give a judgement of the BoP. And the fastest driver of the pack were on Mercedes (Jeff & Maikel) or Lambo (Me, Michele and Armando)

A champ that will start soon in Italy will adopt a BoP too. I will let you know after the pre-qualify session which is because it's clear that it will be modified given that the BMW seems to be the fastest choice. Just to have an idea you can see how "alien" I am in a champ with some of the fastest guys in Italy => http://144.76.93.183:50041/lapstat. You have to go to page 3 to find my name

Ironically, I was much faster in the Nissan.
Go figure 

We don't have to do GT3 anyway, there're other modern Gt single make cars in AC I seem to remember

I agree. Maybe with some ballast depending on race results to reshuffle the performance after some races.

[Mark J]

Anyone tried out the Lotus Evora GTC or Exige V6 yet?  Any thoughts? I think they will both make a good spec series.

[Baikal]

GTC for me. Modern racing car with short time paddles . Needs more test for all here. I have a questions to default ( not so good? ) setup, aero balance and tyres ( s,m,h)
ExigeV6 is civil car with old style car behavieur, very looooooooooooow speed paddles and road- semislicks choice. For fun races only, IMHO. I will not drive here. We have Classic series for it  
Mark, what race format it will be? May be vote?  For me ( again) 2 races\reversed still in favor. We still need to learn to be patient and correct in driving here  
I wants to see faster guys testing results  in GTC car. Soft rear tyres is in fire after 1 lap but have strange low wear here. But anyway we have M and H here  
PS Bad is this cars have only simple colours 10 skins ( due Lotus licence limitations). But i hope that FMG will paint all 30 cars with top quality full coloured skins.

[Mark J]

i was intending to look on RD for a skin pack in the hope that someone has already done it   but otherwise well volunteered FMG 

[FullMetalGasket]

Bugger off - I'm still backing up and rebuilding the pc
It takes long enough to do just 1 car!

That’s what I love about this site, the sheer willingness to pitch in and help out
