Will probably take Mosler this season. Anyone took it for Watkins & how did it go?

[Mike Miller]

Tough to decide on which car to take the entire season. I started testing for Barber, but have yet to look at the rest of the tracks for the season. I'll have to take a tour to ensure the car I'm currently doing best with at Barber will also work at other tracks. 1:24.1 at Barber so far.

Well after last night I'm definitely taking the 996 RS although I still have some work to do to calm down my current setup. Has (at least for now) restored my entusiasm for GTR2 

[Mike Miller]

After tasting the torque of the Viper, I'm considering it to be my ride next season. Now if I can only get it to turn.

[Legzy]

Few of us on the server, trying to decide on what car...

[Truetom]

I tried the Mosler, Vertigo, Fezza... None suits me very well. Might be the track, though I achieved one of the few wins on R2P and a track record with RSR.
In the end I made best time with Spyker. As I didn't drive this car in the Championship yet, I might decide to use it in this season.

Edit: btw, I managed 1:23 in Spyker. What were your times?

I tried different cars too and it's somehow frustrating  but I am not capable to make consistent laps. Maybe it's because I'm totally noob with setups and I'm testing with default setup

Boy do I know that feeling. I don't understand enough to realise that I'm faster because I know the track/car better or if a setup really made the difference and without knowing times others are doing I have no idea if either are in the right ball park. Because I know I'll never have the outright pace to win a race I tend to pick cars I have an affinity with and hope I'll have someone to race at the back of the field.

Group of us on last night all around the 1.25 mark, even if some of us were in faster cars than others

Well after last night I'm definitely taking the 996 RS ..........

Maybe the 997 Cup car is a little more sensible then. Best so far is a 1:25 which should hopefully give me some folk to race with.

[Craske]

I've been doing a bit of private praccy and have managed the odd 1.24. but my race pace is 1.25.??.
That was in the Cup car.   Not sure which car to take yet.     maybe the RSR...

[Jeffrey]

Tried most cars and got them all in 1:23 racepace, but I'll be chosing between Viper and Morgan. Both cars have the highest funfactor by far

We had about five on last night & I think I was quickest with 1:25.0 (race trim)
Your time in the Spyker concerns me, I thought I had hammered it in the new physics pack, looks like maybe not hard enough. Well if you take it, at least Ruskus will have somebody to race

But I'm confident I can find maybe another 0.5 extra time by Sunday. I love lapping this place (2nd only to Suzuka I think).

I'll be back on the server tonight for more car testing if anyone's about...

[Truetom]

This was quali lap, Legzy. I don't think I can do better than high 24s in race spec.
