1:34.125 offline at Brands with my own setup. I tried all of the other Shelby GT350 setups from Snow's link and none of them seemed to fit my driving style at all. Did some tinkering myself and beat all of the others by half a second. I just might be able to challenge for the GT-O Am title... but I'll have to check and see which category Fox is in.

Fox is AM.
 
I'm also in the AM class, will be between a few drivers as any one of around 5 drivers could be fighting for race wins

Yep, the title is all his unless brands is just a weak track for the Shelby. Then it might be close. I've actually discovered that Brands seems to favor cars that oversteer and generally have better steering response. But since he's in a muscle car just like me then we'll have to wait and see. He's most likely the better driver anyway. And we both know we've had some personal differences... :odd:

I'm AM too, but I'm part-time. So no danger.

Bear in mind for some of you (not relavant to you I think) that 2 scores are dropped. So your worst two are dropped or you could even voluntary skip a round.

I did a 1:35.0 at BH which is not a Corvette track at all. I'll do better at Daytona, Monza and Le Mans

And pull lottery tickets for Matterhorn.

With lack of image material coming from @smuffyatfcp @Roflwaffle @Andil should I just take it that the germans are up to no good and don't want pictures released? :sly:
 
Mercedes have equipped our cars with special devices that you shall see on track :sly: Also, I can now do Spa as well.
 
Meh, just don't want to scare you lot, mine looks like it's straight out of a gangster movie. (Been a bit busy, might have time to get a pic tonight but no promises)
 
Can't post a picture as I'm a few thousand miles away from my ps3 (and also can't do daytona and brands for the same reason), but I'll have the default silver that comes with the 300sl.

Are you underneath the Nordschleife? :trouble:

Also you part timers, i'm granting the entries. Certainly would like a Mercedes in most of this season.

Hang on, didn't you say you got a 1:33.5? Or was that testing just done with a different car?

:lol::lol::lol:

No im in Turkey on holiday though.
 
Will stick the set-up tomorrow as I'll be doing a bit of personal testing, I'll test both set-ups in the post that are there
 
No memory stick to be able to send pictures of beautiful Blue car
 
Did a bit of testing on the Red Bull Ring for GT-O BoP and it actually looks pretty good. I was in the range of 40.8-41.3 with all cars except one, which had a 41.6. I'm not quite sure, if anything can be done about that one, but will explore what options there are to bring it closer.

Vette can definitely stay at 340hp.

The Red Bull Ring surprised me somewhat insofar as it actually requires quite a short gear setup, because the straights all have slow corners leading on to them and aren't that long either, so it's much less of a power track than expected.
 
Ok, slight adaptation in BoP for the Jaguar E-Type:

Jaguar E-Type: Engine S1, ECU, Intake Tuning, Weight S3+Window+Hood
339hp, 1021kg, 485PP

(basically take Isometric Exhaust off and install Engine S1)

All cars inside of 0.5 at RB Ring now. (for me anyway)

Disclaimer: That's, if @Furinkazen concurs. ;)

We'll also give that a shot tonight.
Room will open 7pm and Session #1 will be 7pm to 8.15pm. Then a little photoshoot parade and the second night session #2.

After tonight, I should have all pics I need for the preview, and i'll update both the GT-O and GT-P spec sheets.
 
Won't be joining till about half 8 as the F1 race is on
 
Preview officially complete barring car images. 34 pages, 23mb.

Corvette spec will be 340hp. @FlyingFox
