Can the Fezza and Corvette be added to the server please?
And can we choose from both Roadster or Coupe versions of the L88?

Thanks for the heads up Tony. I added the cars this morning. All L88's are welcome.
I'm having trouble accessing the forums again. They weren't available the past couple of hours.

Just finished a rather eventfull 60 car race here. The AI have some stupendous pile ups. Best time of 3:56 in the Porsche 906-E.

The 906 I find a pleasure to drive. The 906E I can't stop from swapping ends at every bend.  |

CHortle
I don't hate real piggies, just the P&G ones (and maybe GTL one) I am not generally much use in any rear engine cars
and the 911 variants here drive like thay are not connected to the road, and have half a ton of cement
in the back. The 906 is almost as strange at most tracks IMHO. MIke is correct though for here they drive
quite well and are not difficult. That is with my "safe" setup which is also likely to be slow. my best so far
is a low 59 in the 906-E. Tried the silver 275 spec, and kept falling off.... not tried L88 yet.
I like the idea of spec races with varied cars, even all the time, but two rear engined piggies in succesion
that I usually avoid like the plague is too much masochism for early February.

I just had a conference call scheduled for 21:00 on Thursday. I'll be able to join you guys for practice/quali and maybe 1 or 2 laps, but I will not be able to finish the race. Shame. I was really looking forward to a drafting battle.

Try Mike's setup for it Phil, I found it still a little tailhappy but softened it up a little & immediately went 4s faster than I'd managed with the 906. It was Mike's setup I was using. Looks like it was a car problem. I was using #22 - the Fred Baker green thing. I can barely get it out the pits without it spinning. Try it. I just tried one of the others and knocked 8 seconds off my best time in the 906. Still only managed a 3.50, so lots of work required yet but at least it stays pointed in the right direction now.  |

Guess I should have been specific on the car I used. That is one of the things I love about the P&G tire model. Each is uniquely different. I was using the blue 906E on the Goodyear tires. The Green #22 car uses Dunlops. Interesting that I didn't take this one. I usually prefer the feel of the Dunlop tires over the Goodyears.

As an ex-GPL driver at race winner at this track in GPL, I have to give this a blast, got it all working, just need to get some setups and tweak about with the sensitivity on wheel, or wheel ratio, then im sorted..
What G25/G27 settings are people using in PnG?

The 906LH is a death trap.
I've just spent 40 minutes wrestling with it and am feeling a tad mashochistic - Can you confirm it's deffo not an option for idiots like me, as aside from the brown trouser moment each lap (Masta kink on opposite lock anyone?  ) I actually prefer it's handling to the other 906's available. Don't fancy a honking great V8 or screamy V12 either as the 908 just seems to work here..... I'm using 540 degrees on my wheel I think Burt, coupled with max steering angle in the P&G setup screen and strong feedback |

It's getting too late to be adding cars FMG. The event is 2 days away. I'd prefer if we keep the field set as is.
