Thunderstorm then snow? Only in PCARS. Willing to bet the Audi will run away with that one.
Just try it . You won't be too mad lol
 
Great fun, close racing cars. They will make a great series, just think they are a little played out. Haven't really tried them in Pcars2. But the Merc was the best of the bunch in Pcars.
Godzilla would of been sweet, it's a car i have never tried.
Awesome choice, can't never go wrong with DTM.

Not mad, just saying it's crazy to have those weather patterns come together. I'm looking forward to it!

I didn't race them much together in PCARS1, hence the decision. We had fun with the testing last night, and fun was a big factor. I was in the BMW chasing Alex in his Audi, and it was great to see how different they put their lap together, yet we were bumper to bumper at the end of each lap. It was also great to see these things thrown up on 2 wheels on the apex, and on the stock tune, sometimes they suffered from the old bouncy suspension mid corner, haha :D

The track somehow dries while it's snowing so its going to be more of a mental battale lol. And these cars are balanced the BMW will feel under power but you can drive it with minimum effort and benz and audi are fast but ay the cost of fuel an tires.
Nice to see the audi gang is out there. How many audi liveries are they BTW?

One livery, haha. 5 different numbers. Spot on with how the cars will drive. The BMW is very easy to drive, and very predictable. It's easy to get up to a decent pace with it when you are first coming to terms with the car and track. With the default stable setup, it does understeer, but it can be tuned out pretty easy.
 
Car choice deadline was for me, for what we would be racing. Drivers don't need to have their car/livery choice in until just before the first race.
Well crappolla, guess the cats outa the bag. Audi will dominate at high speed tracks. I'm definitely picking a long track, maybe dry conditions
 
Going with the Mercedes, #54 Sobrent Performance Parts. Mostly because the Audi takes slicks and turns them into a 10 course entree with dessert...

That's a big reason why I decided adding the Audi actually evens up the competition. The BMW with tire wear on authentic can probably run over 100 laps at most tracks before even thinking about changing tires. Even on accelerated, at Brands Hatch Indy, 10 laps barely made a dent. For comparison, at Oulton Park International, the Audi was at 75% after 3 laps of really pushing hard. My hopes behind all of this is that the competition should be evened up when you consider the pit stops the Audi will have to make (possible 2 stops if you're pushing it), and the lost pace when the tires are wearing low. Being AWD, it'll push for days.

After some intense testing tonight, I can announce that season 4 of PITS 2 will wind back the clock to when Super Nintendo hit stores shelves, Silence of the Lambs hit theaters, and Mark Wahlberg seriously thought he was a rapper......

More importantly, 3 cars from the big 3 German manufacturers battled it out on track in Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, or as you probably know it, German Touring Cars, DTM! The official class chosen is Group A. There are 5 cars in the class, 3 of which we will use.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 EVO2 DTM
1991 BMW E30 M3 Group A
1991 Audi V8 DTM
(Part of the Motorsports Pack)

The Sierra Cosworth and the Skyline GT-R are in the class, but are both far too fast (even though they were a hoot to drive), so they are ineligible this season. The BMW is a stable, predictable, and incredibly consistent car, and great on its tires. The Merc is quick, could be a touch quicker than the BMW, but you really have to work for it, so the risk is high. On the right tracks, the Audi is quicker. It's got plenty more power, but is also much heavier. It has a V8 vs the I4s in the BMW and Merc, but that means it'll chew through tires, and guzzle up the gas. Is it worth choosing the safe bets, or risking it all and going with the bigger, heavier, rubber hungry Audi? Put on your parachute pants and grab your POGs and let's find out! Let's see what tracks you guys want these to battle out on. I can promise you this season is going to be very fun with these cars. I think they will balance out to create some great battles!

Oh you mean : The Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM, German Touring Car Masters). nice!
 
Let's get confirmations going for this weekend. Not an official round, just some fun races, so come and and have a laugh!

Confirmed
