No new cars, then. Most of the old favourites are certainly back.

The vote is only for new, non-BTCC cars.

Il be 1st and get the ball rolling.
 
Sorry I havent taken part in the vote and i probably wont get to .

Just busy recently and caught a flu/cold which is kicking my ass
 
Quick vote hint: avoid the Volvo C30. Very, very slow! :scared:

Really!?!?!?

Yup, seriously off the pace. Poor acceleration, poor top speed, lots of understeer. Good brakes though.

1200kg is practically the lowest weight I can get it down to as well, so I can't do much to help it. 👎

Nah no way!! Leave it with me and il run some tests :)

I can remember testing the Volvo around tsubuka for Toca and getting 58-59's and if I remember last season I could only just get 59's in my Audi and that was the fastest lap so I'm very confused.com

Bear in mind I wasn't running a full set-up on the cars (LSD, Brakes and Suspension were default), but then that's the same deal as with every car I've run. Every other car is within 0.2 seconds of each other, but the C30 is consistently about 0.8/1.0 off. Comfortably the slowest FF car I've run.

Can PM you settings for certain tracks if you want.

Chuck me over some tracks & times and il test :) come to think of it I think your right as Toca & BTCC use diff tyres... My bad but il test anyway :)
 
That means the audi was super fast getting so close to the toca times

So S5 might have no cars :confused: can't see that.

Wonder how that would work :lol:

Mazda seems to be handling OK for me, although I've only got the Focus to compare it to

It sucks, I've had really bad flu lately so today was my first working day of the week. That's my excuse if tommorow's races don't go to plan :lol:

Not as bad as Suzuka S3 when I almost threw up in the enduro :yuck:

What times you getting in the Mazda at Suzuka?

Maybe a tenth or two left to find

Yeah same ere consistently, not sure my tyres will last 11laps tho :scared:
 
very good times... i guess it's another backwater race for my bmw :(
 
Furi won't be on track tomorrow so there is once again space for Nova. 👍
 
Looking forward to tomorrow, still not set a lap time yet.:dopey:
 
i was around 55.6 IIRC... veeeeeery bad for a beemer.. i'm sure you can get in54 easily.

we lose something like 0.6 seconds on the straight alone so i guess that the race is going to be a carnage... we are faster only where you can't pass, lol.

edited: the time is mostly due to me being unable to drive FR cars or this one in particular, so you might find the situation way better!

Managed a 54.9 so far. More time to be found. Pretty hard to nail the corners to the tyres capabilities. Last corner(s) feels like it is never ending.

54's :ouch: :ouch: 👍
 
55.3-55.5 for me, nothing more. Overtaking will be tough so I expect it will all be done in the pits. Not expecting much tomorrow.

Overtaking pretty impossible. What speed are you guys hitting at the end of pit straight?
