Lots of choice around those ranges....going to be interesting to see who brings what :)
 
Good racing last night guys. Not enough snow so I had to drive in this morning :grumpy:

Super Early Not Even Close Line-up:
<-- That car (thanks Ken for the PP bump!) 532pp
Cizeta 15th Anniversary '94 563pp

Renault Sport Trophy '11 447pp
Toyota 86 15th Anniversary '13 453pp
 
I have found 3 of the 4 cars for next weeks line up. Going to do some testing this evening as far as a qualifying track is concerned.

I found drinking a coffee stout while driving (virtually) allows me to do three of the things you mentioned. 3 is better than 2;)
 
I drank one of these with dinner before we raced last night:

Awesome beer that I am obsessed with. Unfortunately, no help to making me faster.

I hear Guiness works for @JoeW though...
 
@jobyone
I edited my DTM car post here. These are the dealership PP values +8 for oil change. Please change on the spreadsheet when you are able. Below would be the DTM car groups:

90's Group (4WD):
Alfa Romeo 155 2.5 V6 TI Touring Car '93 532pp
Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5 –16 Evolution II Touring Car ‘'92 527pp
Vauxhall Calibra Super Touring Car ‘'94 539pp
Opel Calibra Touring Car ‘'94 531pp
Mean PP: 532.25pp

2K Group (FR):
Audi A4 Touring Car '04 567pp
Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car '‘00 579pp
Audi Abt Audi TT-R Touring Car ‘'02 572pp
Opel Astra Touring Car (Opel Team Phoenix) ‘'00 572pp
Vauxhall Astra Super Touring Car '‘00 572pp
Mean PP: 572.4pp

Turns out that Ken's PP split of 1100pp is almost perfect for a DTM running. I can run the Alfa as my 4WD and the A4 TC as my FR next race and get my fix. :D

Now I just need to grind some seasonals so I can buy all these cars and do some testing. If anyone has any insight into the cars just let me know. I remember @fastfox400 seemed knowledgeable when we discussed this a little during racing the other night.
 
You'll be over by 4 pp @88GTA . Lets just say my starting lineup for 1100 Pp both cars yeild a sub 1:25 @ Brands Hatch

Just got my g27, first force feedback wheel ever. I feel like if I fight what its doing I'm going to break it, is that normal? Just turned the strength down to 3
 
Turn it to simulation and power steering assist off. Also try to take it easy on the wheel for the first hour.. It will get feeling better over time..
 
Big learning curve. You still have to treat it like a real steering wheel. You need to turn the wheels in the direction you want them turn. Depending on the situation, the steering wheel may fight you like a real car. Keep a firm grip and be the boss.

I used to just let it turn this way and that...then I realized I needed to make it my bitch, not vice versa :)
 
^ I'll see if I can wrestle the TV back late tonight. Work at 6am tomorrow though...
 
I might try to get on as well. The only drivetrain that is somewhat easy to pick is FF. So many cars in the others that I'm having some trouble.

On a side note...
I never really care what TV shows other people watch but I have been watching a comedy on TBS called Men at Work that I feel is just the funniest show on TV. It's been on for a couple of years but I think you can watch reruns online on TBS.

Comedy is so subjective but I urge you guys to at least try it once. Watch the first two episodes of season three online and give it a shot.
 
@JoeW You made me like that post twice. Thanks. :boggled:

I saw a few episodes from the last season and thought it was funny. I remember it being on a little too late for me though.

@jobyone I updated some cars PP:
Nismo S Tune '02 461pp
Audi A4 TC 567pp
Honda NSX Type S '99 453pp

Took a break from racing for a bit. My hour of practice Friday resulted in no more than 3 clean laps at Brands Hatch. It's going to be a long Tuesday night for me. On the plus side I tried the Assassin's Creed 3 game I got for Xmas and it's awesome.
