The Viper CC would be a monster round a small track like Laguna.....what about Moslers?  |

That's me put in my place! lol Sounds like a gd idea though, Vipers round laguna, M3's round hockenheim, Elise's round donington, Vertigo's round Spa.....could be good fun races to break up championships in the future  |

no really...what exactly are we testing here?? Isnt the fuel calc off on this track??
Details posted. Given that we want to use this track as part of Season 5 we'll want to know about any problems, such as dodgy fuel calculations, races that end short, badly placed grid slots, garages or pit boxes, etc. |

Just so peeps know, that means we've got choices of: Viper CC Gillet Vertigo 911 GT3 Cup BMW Z3 M Lotus Elise!!! I think that's the right speed order...but I've already got that wrong once in the last hour...  |

I think that's the right speed order...but I've already got that wrong once in the last hour... The Vertigo in UKGTR trim is a lot faster thanks to its big weight break, but it's not G3 in UKGTR, it's NGT, and is thus not eligible.  Hopefully we'll get a mix of cars as we really have no idea how to ballast the G3 cars to even their performances out. My gut feel is that the GT3 Cup will outpace the VCC in the right hands... The Elise is undoubtedly slowest which is why it's unclassified and not in G3. |

I think that's the right speed order...but I've already got that wrong once in the last hour... On a dry track that would be pretty much it IMO, however things are quite different on a 50% wet track. I just did a few laps and the order is roughly : Elise 911 CUP Z3 Viper I spent the most time driving/trying to drive the Viper and yet it was still the slowest but most importantly very difficult to be consistent with , well.....just plain horrible to be more specific. I spent the least amount of laps with the Elise (4) and it was the fastest, but the 911 Cup was close and maybe as quick with some practice, and the Z3 was quite close to the 911 aided by it's better turn in but it is slightly more twitchy tho. |

50% rain, is that:
- 50% probability of rain, so it could be dry
- or a mediocre rainfall?

Half as wet as 100%  I haven't driven yet this yr but im assuming it will rain ALL the time with no possibility of drying especially since race is only 30 mins. |
