I am planning on driving the GT1 Viper for this season. I do not have the testis for the Marcos I am afraid. Here are a few short clips from the Edmonton test race that I have been meaning to put up. It shows my dramatic race end: Rear view from JPS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FxSZdNu_OAChase cam view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl3lu-8l0RAEnjoy.  It looked pretty spectacular in real time in my rear view as well H@L great video |

i thought a correct Legends F430 skin had been submitted, if not last season then during/after it ?
Ah, that's sort of right, I assume you mean this one? erm, i think that was Adams original stab that had problems with the template, but i thought it had been re-submitted since then? |

If it has it'll be in the pack - if you can see the other skins for the same car it wasn't. We didn't do any new ones for the 2.10 pack. |

Glad to hear some others are struggling for pace as well. I've done far more laps in the Aston than usual (passed it off as testing of me pc  ) and still a little off pace I did in last sprint race here. Gotta say the Aston is a lot more tricky to drive fast than it first appears and I haven't managed it yet. An interesting new challenge, many thx Dave/Pseudo  Has anyone else noticed a very slight flatspot in the Aston as you pull outta slow corners? Thats my excuse sorted anyways. |

Not a flat spot, but quite a bit of snap oversteer coming out of corners. Did a 32 lap stint last night, got down to a 29.4 in race trim, and consistantly high 29's to low 30's for whole stint, which will do for me come race day. Do need to tune out the oversteer though, anyone got any ideas?  I may do some laps in the MC12 later just to compare, but I reckon it'll be Aston all the way for me. |

Aston feels awkward around here and not able to push with it. Have had to soften everything up just to stop it spinning up especially out of turn 1 and to get some grip back. Still early days but managed a 31 with it, trying to stick with though.

Do need to tune out the oversteer though, anyone got any ideas? I too found the Aston to be more 'perky' while exiting slow corners this season. My simplest suggestions for correcting 'power exit oversteer' would be... Decrease Power Diff / Increase Front Slow Rebound / Decrease Rear Slow Bump... Hope it helps you (if it does, remember to let me past you ). |

Cheers for the info Legzy, will give it a go later. Hope it helps you (if it does, remember to let me past you ). I'm predicting that I won't need to let you pass.....  |

Getting Mid-low 37's with race fuel in a few of the GTC cars. Final decision not made yet.  |

I fancy taking a different car but the Porsche comes back to me as a comfortable pair of slippers when i try it after each other GTC car. My other choices are Mosler or F430 but my motivation for an endurance series wouldnt be as strong in those cars. Those other two cars do sound great though. Hmmm. Besides you all like racing and attempting to beat me in a Porsche |

For me, it's either Fezza, either Porka, the Morgan or Viper (could of been the Z4 too, but I want a change). So as I've basically got at least seven cars to choose from of about the same pace... well done Dave for the balancing job.  |

Your hardly narrowing your options there Legz  Finally sorted out what the main issue i had with the Aston was, too much rear brake bias was causing it to oversteer when hard on the brakes and turning in! Looking forward to this now  |

Not had any time to praccy or prepare properly for this one...so not at my best. I was just about finding a rhythm though in a good battle with Matt ahead and Legzy just behind when caught by the leading GT1's....Think a teamie clocked me after a rush of blood  ...(must be the heat ) and I ended up in the deep gravel with a rear puncture...so race over.....at least I missed the thunderstorm  Grats to podie's and winners. |
