GTP WTAC Week 66 : 2-Liter German Engineering


*** Technically, the Mercedes-Benz Kompressor is a 2.3 liter engine and the BMW 2002 is a true 2-liter... but they are both in the 2-liter range. I choose these two simply for the fact that most of the German cars in the game feature bigger and more powerful motors. But while the engines are smaller and have less horsepower, both cars are smaller and lighter than their big brothers/sisters. So it should be mentioned that they still have plenty of pep in their step! ***




1. Track : Autumn Ring (forward)

I ran two test laps with these cars last night and, on S2 tires, they are a bit challenging to keep straight (especially the lightweight BMW 2002).
 
I ran a few laps with Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Kompressor ’98 on Citta di Aria (forward). It's far more controllable than those two cars last week. But Citta di Aria (reverse) is still a challenge for me. Even with this car, I can't get the 1st place in race mode Level A...
 
I ran a handful (maybe four or five) of laps with each car and got these times - 1'34.3xx with the Mercedes-Benz and 1'36.0xx with the BMW 2002.
 
BMW 2002: 1'35.257
