UKGTR Season 9 Summer Challenge (GT3) - Spa (2004) - Jun 7

[spanner]

It'll be interesting to see the GT3 cars around Spa, should give some indication of the way things pan out around Le mans. Looking forward to this even though i cant quite remember the choices!


I do remember people taking about new cars in the GT3 class?   maybe not then

[Mark J]

this gt3 series was the dullest we've ever run.  Endurance length races in slow cars  Donington had 12 vertigos of the 19 cars that took part  hence why i only attended 1 round of the whole campaign.
Not sure i will bother this time either which is a shame

Thanks MJ, you've just summed up how I feel about the GT1 cars that are a weekly fixture.

I'm not sure Dave's picked up on your subtle hints as to your feelings towards GT3 yet mate... you might want to mention them just one more time in case?

p.s. As a former Vertigo driver, there's no way you'll see me in one now... not sure what I will be in though  

[Truetom]

Are the GT3 cars unchanged from S8? 

[Blunder]

Count me in! Whatever car , whatever circuit!

Love the GT2 430 but am not a big fan of the GTC version!
Might try something else for a change! 
Not that suped up Beetle though MJ !! 

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Are the GT3 cars unchanged from S8? 

Yes, same set of choices.

None of the tracks are likely to suit the Vertislow, although that doesn't mean that the aliens won't be able to win with it.

[Truetom]

I might make a flip and take a different car for each event.

May be that should be a requirement for the mini series?

was just thinking this morning, might try a Viper out for this mini series. I watched the British GT round at Spa last night (loads of cool onboard action)  8)and it gave me a taste for driving the Mosler but dont think thats in this series is it? The rest of the cars dont grab me much and the older cup porker is way out powered by everything else in this crummy group.
The lure of Spa and Le Mans is too hard to resist, even if i have to use a push bike 

[Legzy]

Gentlemen, start your GT3 Cars engines... your choices are:
350Z
Vertigo Streiff
Viper Competition Coupé
Elise
996 GT3 Cup
Z3M

[Linus27]

OOOHHHHH my Elise can be fired up again 

Thanks for the heads up on this Legzy.

Yep the top 4 at Donington only contained 1 Vertogo. 1st was a Nissan, 2nd was a Vertigo, 3rd was a Elise and 4th was a BMW.

I actually felt people took the easy option in the GT3 series and opted for the Vertigo. We only had 1 Porsche and 2 Elises most of the season. Would had been nice to have had a bigger mix of cars.

[Legzy]

OOOHHHHH my Elise can be fired up again 
Thanks for the heads up on this Legzy.

NP, I remembered Blunder & me getting some tips off you in the past & that you were disappointed when we stopped using the Elise.
Will be good to see you back with us. 

[Linus27]

Well, if I had my way, everyone should be driving the Elise  Saying that, I am just about to sell my real life one so maybe I should move on. Can we get a Scooby WRX for GTR2?? 

[Mark J]

Surely with the high speed nature of Spa and Le Mans, the Viper is going to clean up?  in a normal season the results would get balanced out on the twistier tracks where the elise and Verts come to the fore.
