Cool heritage, Etid is half Irish, you guys should consider running your celtic flags or the union flag for a bit of extra colour in the OP 👍

You can use the Alfa no problem, ill allocate the divisions when the time trials are done but with your time I think you wont have any problems :D

I am testing the M3 Race car later today, anyone looking to do hotlaps join me. It will take less than 5 minutes.

Cheers 👍 And I'll join you in the testing, see what the M3 is really like :)
 
Nice one, it will be easier with 2. See you online in a bit then 👍

After testing.
1. Calibra vs M3. BMW wins by less than 1 second 👍
2. Alfa+Merc vs M3. M3 considered too quick.

Yeah but it was on default for BMW and i did make a mistake going into final sector, not sure if you're taken that in but just posting :)
 
I hear you, I was driving real careful in the calibra and got 1.15, 1.16, 1.17 so pretty even.
So far the M3 looks like it might have to have a weight penalty.

After testing.
1. Calibra vs M3. BMW wins by less than 1 second hotlapping at cape ring inside 👍
2. Alfa+Merc vs M3.BMW wins (great race though) racing at NB GPF, M3 considered too quick.
3.
 
Alfa and Calibra setting equal times, BMW is faster by about 0.8 seconds and Merc was off the pace at the Nurburgring
 
Andy- Ok, did you try the BM with a bit of weight?

Pagey- Not tonight mate, I was on earlier but got collared by the missus.

Sandman- Happy xmas bra, go with god :) (Leyland, "mace that guy")
 
No worries, I will catch you next week at some point :)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Merry Christmas :D
 
Ok mate, ill be around before new year, if I see you on ill invite you to set your laps 👍
Have a good one :)
 
It sounds too fast, with some tuning it would fly away. If you get time stick 50kg on it and see how it goes.
 
50 kg might do the trick, we were quite close at NB GP/F too. thought that was a good clean/close race.

As you have made it into div 1, do you want the Union flag or st george?

Times from testing:
Nurb GP/D:
Alfa - 1.30.412
Cally - 1.30.579
Merc - 1.32.3XX
BMW - 1.29.8XX

Laguna:
Alfa - 1.25.9XX (Messed up last corner though, went from .8 up to only .2 up so lost .6)
Merc - 1.27.6XX
BMW - 1.25.474
Cally - Couldnt be bothered to test because I got bored :D (will test later)

Will do some more testing, including the Astra, think the problem may have been that the Astra wasnt too fast, the Merc was just too slow. And ill fiddle with weights and stuff.

Updates:
BMW with 50kg - 1.25.979 (Laguna)

Nice research mate, forget the astra as I tested it and its way too easy to drive. We need to decide how to reel in the beemer. If we cant it will be dumped but I think we can make it work, I will be able to test myself tomorrow night. Thanks 👍
 
Merry christmas to you all :) Have a great time guys :)

On another note. I start work on boxing day at....................6am :*(
 
Aaaah you noticed that ;) Ties nicely with the second name ;) And I love that picture :lol:

Notice something else about my GTP account ;)
 
I did indeed. I was teetering on the fence but then i saw the cause on the news feed so i took the plunge :) I don't mind if my money is going to a good cause 👍
 
You are a shining turnip amongst dog turds, this is trule the xmas spirit 👍
