Hehe, no, I'll take the C6R this season. We'll see for the next. People need to forget how well JR did in this car before I can blame it for being slow again.

Just been doing some driving around here....and I've decided this is one of my hate tracks!! The braking areas are too bumpy for me, which unsettles the car, and makes it a nightmare to hit the apex and get good traction out of the corner. The quickest car for me at moment is the Lister (1:55.8 with full fuel)...it has nice front end grip, with a touch of over steer. If I can't improve my time to a low 1:55 though, I'll probably give this race a miss. Running at the back on this track is not my idea of fun

hello, i have a question to the people which mod. the carpack the fuel to 140l. i try it, but i am not sure if i can explain.... now cars have 140l , can it be, that now with 140l it is same fuelweight then orginal with 100l?? i did any laps in server and i was shocked..... i did 1.50.6 and a 1.50.8 with 100l , normaly i can do 1.51.low-mid if i am fast, i did easy 1.51.low, so i was thinking perhaps 100l is not REAL 100l weight because of now 140l in full tank??? do someone know this??? or was i am only so quick i know 575 had -5kg but this is only under 0.1 sec. a lap and i did with lister and aston any days ago 1.51.high with 140l !!!! and i was much surprised too, so i was thinking about this with 140l = 100l orginal. hope someone understand this and can give answear servus

I'm nipping out for a couple of hours so I've done the weather forecast a little early. See the 1st post. See you all for the race

I don't know as i haven't tested much Have fun driving off into the distance tonight Berger because a race pace in the 50's is about as fast as my quali pace if i know something 100%, then i do not drive into the distance as long as you drive in same race, this was always so and will be so in future too. i think this will be a very very high level race. busi with fast lister save 6-7 sec. in pitboxes to 575 (and busi is extrem fast in pitstop), jayblue, ginsters by s. (which i saw 1.49.xxx in server from him too), ruskus perhaps? and other perhaps which i do not know, it can be a hard race. strategy is so important too with 2xfuel and normal tyres, i know if you are perhaps 10sec. behind me before pitstop, you (and other i think too) do not change tyres, because i think it is possible to drive race without change tyres. lister without change tyres save 28-29 sec. in pitstop to 575 (if he change tyres). hot temps are not good for me, i do not like hard tyres, same fast out and i am slower with this tyres.

PC reboot with 20 mins to go. Finally had a hot day down here and she overheated :'( To be honest, not that worried as pitstops pretty much put an end to great fun for first half of race. Thanks to JB and Busi for great 30 mins 60 mins of flat out fun with those gents would have been ace, but hey ho. I'll leave you to it

Another frustrating night in GTR2 for me. Spent a long time practicing this afternoon in the C6R getting nowhere, then jumped into the Murcielago, a car I've hardly driven, grabbed a setup from the online folders and was nearly 2 secs quicker straight away This was enough to get me a few places off the back of the grid in quali. Had an ok start and was having a nice little battle with Spanner when I did my usual skew coming off a corner and into the wall. I'm becoming a real expert at this manouvre, so if anyone wants any tips......... A couple of silly errors later, a lagging car in front of me and a bundled pitstop where my dozy crew decided I needed new tyres and I'd had enough. That's it for GTR2 for me I'm afraid; Too much time needed to get anywhere near decent pace and the girls are way too ugly this far down the grid.

woops didnt expect much from this race knowing i would be extremely slow compared to most guys but anyway had fun trying to bring it home even if i was last (or just before last) .. did a lot of errors (alone) and was a bit slowish compared to my training, wouldnt have changed the final result but still i think i could have done a bit better big sorry for the rolling start lap, my pc went back to desktop (thx adobe flash updater), and it took me several seconds to grab my keyboard and get back on the game, i had the reflex to slow down and get on the left straight into the barrier to not cause any harm to fellow racers while i wasnt seeing the game screen, and i think it worked and i didnt hit anyone then i didnt know if i should get back in position, but oh well i was not a factor so probably no-one will complain if i did something wrong hehe might keep training and join another gt1 race in the future, will need some courage though

had a tough race, was suffering big time from a hangover from hell ...tried desperately not to puke in my helmet Was intending to take the aston but just couldnt handle the screamy engine with my sore head so took the C6. Had an okay race with a few good little chases and gradually crept up the order to finish an almost respectable 10th. Pitstop went okay but appeared to have way too much fuel left at the end. Only one minor off when i gave it some beans out of the carousel type corner, not bad going in these tricky monsters.
