Have tried the Porsche & the BMW so far. The Porsche is easier to drive than I remember it, so it maybe that the physics were modded for V2, but it still takes some controlling & patience with the throttle. The BMW conversely is harder to drive than I remember it, not helped by the fact that the max tyre pressure still seems too low & the centres of the tyres are always much cooler than the edges. Currently 1s faster in the Porsche. Will hopefully try the Ford later.

Yes, I'm currently struggling with the BMW tyre temps too. I'm slowest in the Beemer but I may take it as I suspect most will opt for the Pork or Carpi.
Remember to practice those pit stops guy's.

Have now done a few laps in the Capri & nearly matched my Porsche time, then gave the BMW another go & went over 2s faster with it, so now that is my fastest car by 1.3s! Need to try the Pork again.

I find the Porsche nearly undriveable and am more than 4 secs quicker in the Ford!! One thing is the power delivery requiring a super sensitive right foot, but the understeer really kills it for me. Again and again I find myself just ploughing straight on when entering a corner. The Beemer I've just tested on pretty much the default setup, and am 2-3 secs slower than in the Ford. Need to practice more with it. |

Are the number of laps correct? It's going to be a long race if so  I wrestled with the Porsche and although it's incredibly quick, it wears out the tyres in no time and you're also bound to have a high speed off sooner or later. Managed a 2:41.9 in it, but only after having countless attempts. Previous best was a 2:45.2.  |

What!!!!..... I'll get my coat! That's 4s faster than I can do in it, you will have time for 2 or 3 stops for tyres with that pace Hristo . In the mid 2.44s with the BMW & 2.46 with the Ford which is much the easiest to drive. Will probably go with the BMW although chances of reaching the finish without a major off are slim. |

I was fastest in the Pork, it was the only one I could get under 50 with. Then did some more laps with the Capri
and managed a high 47, and it's the one I am least likely to crash and burn in, so probably run with that.

I don't think I'm going to run with the Porsche. It's next to impossible to keep such a high pace on every lap, plus the difference in tyre wear is enormous. After watching Dimitar drive the Ford, I think that's what I'll use as well. |

Will probably miss this one as I'm not able to handle these beasts in a halfway competitive manner
and don't have enough time for more extensive testing.
Have fun guys.

You don't need a lobby fix, whatever that is? If you can see a file called LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.txt move it to a safe place but not in the GTL folder. Now try. |
