cheers mate

Ah here he is!! Leprechaun lover himself :-D you'll fit in well with this bunch of misfits, there's a few sheep fiddlers so don't be afraid to stand up for yourself although the majority of us are British (the best nation of all) so just relax and have fun :-)
 
Sean- Add me and worduphomes on PSN. My PSN is rhyfelwr79
Have a read throught he rules in the OP. Join us for practice tonight if you can so I can check your driving :lol:
Welcome to the 90's DTM's.
 
Well Benzies did some testing yesterday (I only did the TM one because I can only make it to the TM-Race this Wednesday).
Car felt good Joe and I had a great Race (Spurg DC´d) and we both have almost same pace.
Spurgy was clearly faster :D but that´s just him 👍
I´m confident that if nothing happens Team-Benz will have a good TM-Result.
 
1:25.2xx as fastest personal Lap but during Race you are slower due to pressure and position fights.

I´m running with 1090kg btw :D It makes the Benz a little more stable and better ;)
 
Hey Sean,

I have created an account on GTPlanet now... Can I joint the touring car race

Adsy
 
Sakery- When merc drivers add more weight to make the car better I start to worry :lol:

Sean- Shall we say 815 in my lounge?

Adsy- You will have to add me on PSN (rhyfewr79) and join us tonight so I can check lag issues (with you being so far away). Read through the rules in the OP. Make sure you have an eligible car too.

Knelly- Nice one mate we could be up to 11 per division again already (still not sure about Zenzow).
 
His PSN is D4LVY_ and he has had GT5 since release. Just recently got a DFGT and a Playseat and is looking to improve his online racing (as he'll probably agree just a small standard below myself).

He is a Touring Car fan and we go to Brands at least four times a year (BTCC / DTM etc), so he knows etiquette.

He'd be a good addition to have on board and I think this would be a good leage for his first competitive online leage. 👍
 
Yeah I have decided not to continue with this series :) I am not too keen on it :)
Good racing though guys :)
 
Direct and to the point Ellis goodluck bro:indiff:

Brett not at all mate im frying tyres at TM right now come lap 14/15 i can barely keep the thing in a straight line!:nervous:
 
The alfa is shocking at SSR5 as well, after 4 laps the front just won't turn in, after 1 stint of 8 laps I had no fronts at all. I was being conservative as well. It's hard to see how it will go race distance without 2 stops at the minute :nervous:

Pagey for me your right:grumpy: Q the moaning Alfa drivers Brett brace yourself fella can we try, can we have, can we add this to etc etc!!:lol:

If not im leaving this series i tell you!!:D
 
Oh I'm not complaining, I will just have to go faster with fresh tyres to try and get a big enough gap to the cars behind before the fronts go :D
I physically can't conserve the tyres, I always have to go flat out :lol:
 
I struggle in the Cally for tyres at SSR5 and a bit at TM as Joe found out last time we raced there.
My plan is to get in front of the mercs at the start and (legally) make myself hard to overtake. After that ill be praying for about 4th, TM ill be looking for a podium maybe a win with some luck :D

JB- Dont get them started for christs sake :lol:
 
Everyone except the merc guys are struggling with type wear in the awd cars

Edit: when the merc guys test the awd cars

You could always go easy on the tyres like I did in my tyre tests. The Alfa didn't have any tyres with less than 60% left after 7 laps, if I remember right.

Give it a rest Andy!

Im just stating a fact I've noticed when the merc guys test. They have great tyre wear and quick. There setup is good yet we can't have it meaning that all that testing isn't valid because we don't match the test pace. Thats why only guys from that team should test their own car otherwise with spurgy being super quick we can't match his pace in the Alfa when he's in it
