So if we allow the "White #5" Z06 & only allow the three "1966" F275's as they have slightly poorer tyres then the 1967 model?
Thoughts please?

I tested with the #26 Ferrari. I'd say leave all Ferrari and ZO6 models already included in and add the white Z06. Some may have different tire preferences. Also, I wouldn't want to alienate those who already practiced with another car. The extra legs of the Vette may convince me to try it eventhough it is a bit down on overall lap time.

Love this circuit! Never driven here before but it's growing on me bit by bit as I unravel it's secrets. Those Virtual LM boys certainly now how to turn out a visual stunner. And with the early morning sun flickering through the tree line and blinding you at that 2nd gear left hander, you can drive through the pits and almost smell the pitcrew's coffee, croissants and Gauloises. The Ferrari is just so right here and my best time so far is 2:26.9 if that helps. Well done Legzy, great gig and really looking forward to Thursday night. Bet I get discoed  |

Cars allowed: Ferrari 275 GTB/C - Vs - Chevrolet z06 Coupe (I suggest the "George Robertson Jr" one)
OK thanks all for your testing help. We'll go with the Z06 (including the white #5) against the F275. I just hope some of the heavy metal fans stick with the Z06 so we have someone to slow the Fezza's down in the corners before blowing us away on the straights  |

Beautiful track! Stole this from the GPL onboard video tread (for those who haven't noticed). Real good stuff there  . |

I'll try the white vette , but my feelings are much the same as Mike, the normal z06 is not quite fast enough on the
straight to equal the 275's lap times. I don't get on with the 275 round here though, so would take the white vette if
it's any faster than the others.

Did some laps in the white Vette and I'm in the 2:19's. Car feels like a lot of fun and even if it is slower than the Fezza, it sure does look a lot better  |

Only tried the GPL version of this track previously and hated it cause I couldn't get the 67 cars around that hairpin at all. Tried the 275, felt very good and I changed my mind however, then reeled out the Z06 and all those nasty memories came flooding back. I couldn't get it around that hairpin no matter what. For me, there's no way the Z06 is more fun around here.
If the 275 is too quick, I did notice that there were slower tyre/pace combos available there. The nana yellow is the slowest I think.

I haven't decided yet, but I think the extra bit of power in the Z06 will pester the Ferrari nicely.

LOL at least you don't have the dreaded polos to get stuck on in this version Ian. Think that I am going with the #5 z06 as I do like to be the fastest thing on the straight and I am slightly quicker in it. Mind you, I haven't found all the tyre combinations for the Ferrari yet. It's a pain in the butt having to pick through all the cars to see what boots they have on. I don't suppose there is a manual with this sort of stuff in? |

There is a tyre manual, but it just tells you about the abilitys of the Tyres, not what Tyres are on what car. Generally the later the model the better the Tyres are likely to be available. Not 100% though. Also, you can often have more slidey fun with older Tyres |
