The batmobile is in the shop so I'll take the Lamborghini in black if possible
Thank you Bobby

Dear Bobby,

Would you kindly consider to deliver to The Ambassador as ordered one Lamborghini:

… or if he just doesn't like any of these Lamborghini vehicles, just let him have the girly car:

Sincerely,

The greatest guy in the world.

 

[Bobby Pennington]

Well Dirk, I'm considering all possibilities right now and you have given me some good options, but since the Ambassador is a Leprekaun this one may fit him a little better. He is such a key cabinet member that, like you, I want to take care of him to the best of my abilities

I would loan him mine, but then he'd want my pit crew and that's one thing I don't share.........with anyone

Thank you Bobby

Your batmobile is never in the shop.....it's just in stealth mode pretending to be other GT3 cars

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Please sign me up Bobby in the one and only possible car for the purpose.

 

[Nicolas Redman]

I'll be in the BMW

An Audi it is

Nic, I will have to say that this is going to be a good track for that little car. Glad to see you carrying on the tradition while @JoelK has taken temporary leave from his brain

So I was at the track and couldn't resist Lorena (I know, I know, I'm a glutton for punishment and I should've never given in to her curvaceous hips) but its done now so its too late

Anyway, here is a setup that I've been tweaking slightly. You might want to try it @Dirk Steffen.
Its very different from my Road Atlanta setup. Instead of going with neutral rear toe and high diff coast, I've gone the other way with having more toe-out at the back but a lower diff coast. Amazingly, while I know the rears go bright red after coming out of the pits, its actually still very drive-able. Could be down to the high downforce I'm running but I'm thinking two stints on softs may actually work with the Porsche around here and just focus on wear instead of temperature. But I'll let you take that risk @Dirk Steffen I'm sticking with the Batmo... sorry I mean, Lamborghini

This explains my approach in racing perfectly

Thanks for the sharing Tariq, I will give it a try although it looks I might not be able to make use of it.

@Bobby Pennington I might not be able to make it - don't know for sure yet.
Should the server become full please drop me off a cliff and give my seat to the next guy :-(
I will show up if I can make it.

 

[InsaneOzzie]

I will show up if I can make it.

This is blasphemous talk, especially after feeding the Chicken Birdman a beak full of attitude for not making the race @ Barcelona the other day.

If you don't turn up I will send macho men in black G-strings to your Latex & Rubber strap-on factory with volatile fluids and a box of matches, your #1 source of income may be in jeopardy my Krazy German friend.

Went to run some practice/tuning laps online, but the server is stuck in overtime, I left and re-entered but still no joy. I'll do a base setup offline and just learn the track, as I find setups change from offline to online, I'll tweak it in pre race practice

EDIT: I'm not real keen on this track........too many fekin corners, Barbagallo would of been a much better choice IMO

^^^^^^^^^^^^^I can't really say it any better than this. The only thing I would add is if you're unable to make it you head will look like this when your hair catches fire from your ears burning since we'll be talking about you behind your back

Got the server kicked over. I have no idea what happened to it. I was out all day yesterday so I apologize

 

[Dirk Steffen]

It's work related guys. No work, no Porsche, you know how it is.

As the server is finally fixed as The Chancer got up from his chair to press a button and a click a mouse, I might be up there and do a few laps should you guys show up ;-)

I understand completely you cowar.........I mean friend.

Hey it's hard work typing in a command and pressing enter. I may have to take the rest of the day off just to recover. Let me see what I can get done here and I'll see if I can join you

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Haha, how about having a icecold lemonade, sitting in the long chair on the porch and having a good look at the freshly washed Porsche, glistening in the sun - it's late - I am dreaming ...

I am currently on the Norschleife GT3 server with a few fellas, got to get a setup for the race around hell on Sunday - have jacksh... so far and am 20sec off the pace :-O

You're kicking my butt then. I've never done a lap around the Nords in a GT3 car. It's going to be interesting. You going with medium or low downforce. I don't have a clue where to start

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Bobby the issue I have with the N24 layout in a GT3 Porsche is that so far I have no clue either in which direction I should go setup wise.(hence me being off so far from the quick guys). I am looking currently into running medium tires, high down force, very soft suspension and fairly high ride right.

I am still finding my way around teh track - GT3 cars have so much down force that many section you run at full throttle without even lifting, which scares the living s... out of me (especially considering that when you then get your line wrong, you end up in the fence, crash and burn).
With older cars, no down force and no sticky tires the Ring is rather enjoyable - with GT3's it's white knuckly scary tunnel view.
