A bizarre request but I feel like this is right place to write this.

I need a test driver ahead of a series of mine, so I am open to applications.

Only rules:

~You are a serious, good driver. Noobs need not apply.

~You can tell me what you find with the cars and give reliable consistent information (pace, tyre wear, set-ups...).

~And you cannot tell anyone at all - you're the Stig.

What do ya say?

EDIT: If mods believe this is better elsewhere than they can deal with it.

A lot of running in different cars with different specs. 50-100+ miles each car I reckon...
 
you could just send a PM to MrMulsanne that way only he would know.

+1 Furinkazen i really like this idea
 
Yah PM me if interested.
 
Are you going to tune them and then ask for feedback? How many cars per week? Am i gonna get prizes for good performance? :sly:

Some "current" cars and possible new ones. Basically I need info on car feeling, and tyre wear and suggestions on improving it.

Ummmmm what is the point of this
 
Mr Mulsanne I know of two people who fit the bill . Both members here CSLACR and LexSombra , drop them a pm.

Both are super fast and have tested in tuner shootouts previously so can provide good feedback.

CSLACR is a Div 1 driver and runs a tuning shop on here .

LexSombra is Brazilian, never met a slow Brazilian :D
 
Its role of test driver for my TOCA Series. I'll send you FR's and maybe we can have a little competition to decide who gets the role in the next couple weeks.
 
Id be happy to do it...i golded every special event,licence test and aspec races (except 24hr races) with a DS3 but i have a G25 and gameracer pro now so i reckon im fairy good :)
 
Ok everyone who is interested just post here. My PM box is full and I need to whittle down candidates.
 
Did you ask the D1 golds in the WRS?
 
I'm brazilian too and I've done go-kart and car racing in real life, but I live in Australia and air-fairs are too expensive these days :)

But on a more serious note, you might be able to borrow the Stig from the Australian Top Gear as the show has been cancelled!
 
Hi mate! I'm really interested in this project...my curriculum: 8th at gt Academy 2011 qualification run ( 1 lap time in Italy with pad, 2 in Europe)....at the national final in Rome I finished 2 on the 1 day (so actually I'm the second faster gt5 racer in Italy)! Now I have a wheel (DFGT) and I'm really fast (not shure if I'm faster than the pad) :)
I'll take extremly serious this project...hope to join in soon!

Ask the Division 1 guys from WRS. That's how you'll know that those guys are 100% fast. 👍
 
I'm interested. I qualified for the Red Bull Driver Search when I was 17 (now 23) but my father didn't let me attend because I was a year from graduating high school. Earlier this year I had to bow out of the US GT Academy because I still had a month of college left and I currently work for Skip Barber Racing Schools in Lakeville, CT at Lime Rock Park. I've also spent the last 4 or 5 years racing in a very serious league for GTR2 and am also a driving instructor there. I know a lot about setups and getting the most out of a car. PM me and let me know if there is a competition or if you want to hire me.

Hey you work at Lime Rock? Nice, I went karting there a few years ago, a friend of mine's dad is a co-owner of the track/school.
 
I'm not a division anything driver. But I have driven a lot of company cars and rental cars. They all rev hard and take corners at high speed. Do I qualify? ;)

PMSL :lol::lol:
 
I'm happy to throw my name into the hat.

Division 1 gold in wrs. Plenty of experience racing online (won a gt5 Aussie league). Understand gt5 setups and how things change.
 
I'm the founder of the Clean Racers Club, so I would definitely be a clean, skilled racer. I also own a DFGT.

I would send a PM as I think I could write some classic reviews and really detailed accounts of my time driving. That may be my downfall though (as well as the driving) since it may affect the autobiography I have been planning...
