90's DTM- FINISHED

[Strawman Andy]

Spurgy when you run the Alfa do you use full downforce? Just want to know

 

[Spurgy 777]

Yeh, you might as well do because downforce doesnt really effect the straight line speed at all. And thanks to a joint effort between me and Sakery, I think I might be able to get into the 1.22s, down to a 1.23.096 so far

 

[berty1979]

You were all over my calibra in testing

 

[Spurgy 777]

Just done a 1.22.621, think thats as fast as I can probably go atm lol, Ill send Team Merc the setup im using, its basically just a cross between Sakerys setup and mine

 

[berty1979]

I am confident I can get a top 5 finish at SSR5 and a podium at TM

 

[DrifterJoe]

I probably won't have time to test and try setups until monday. I'll give all 3 setups a try when I can (spurgy's, sakery's, and the cross setup that you just mentioned spurgy).

 

[Strawman Andy]

Merc win for SSR5, but looks like a Calibra or Alfa win for TM 👍

I was catching the top 3 at the end of a TM practice race, so don't count the Merc out there. (The race where Brett ruined the perfect results screen )

EDIT: well, 2 of the top 3, since spurgy was quicker than me and passed me, but then got held up while fighting for the lead.

@ Andy- Agreed for Div 1 but you will have to watch your tyre wear to avoid being chased down in the last part of the stints. I got the BMW to worry about but confident I can win with no mistakes.

Joe- Sorry

See johnboy has worked hard, and we're got very little tyre wear and were quick too 💡 I dont think tyre wear will be a problem in TM 👍 maybe a bit more in SSR5

 

[berty1979]

Over 15 laps? With the Mercs so light on the tyres?
You must know something I dont

We couldnt do the whole race without a pitstop (And we have to pit once), but we can do quicker laps, have a lot less wear (for me anyway) and have a good balanced car Im happier with it at TM

 

[berty1979]

Fair do's, I have to hold back a bit to avoid a 2 stopper. Thanks for the info on the pit rules

 

[Spurgy 777]

What was the fastest time at TM? Ive done a 1.25.349, cant remember what Pagey did in the BMW

[berty1979]

No idea but I am pretty awesome there (got to get a podium)

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Ah no worries, Just thought I'd remind you

 

[Strawman Andy]

[Spurgy 777]

Ok, think I can do that after Ive fiddled with my setup, just tweaked it now and did a 1.25.014 What times is everyone else doing?

Nope im not faster than either of you but i have a young apprentice.

 

[Strawman Andy]

[Spurgy 777]
