Some things just can't be changed Ricardo. I understand you have no influence on it, so hereby permission to miss the last round. To bad though, since that will not get you any points in the league. Let's hope departure will be on the 20th

@Kennett,
Each car has its pro's, and its againts. It's not always the fastest car which is the quicker in the hands of the driver The Audi will fit in nice.

Yep, that's what my speed tests showed, the difference is not that big. I'm almost certain that it has been patched, about a year ago Audi was by far the slowest but it ain't anymore.. I remember of banning it from a league just because there were no possibilites to win with it against the Corvettes but the difference was then about 8-10km/h in top speed, now it showed only 4-6km/h, just enough to keep it comptetitive. It had the same speed traps as Pagani and that certainly don't feel like it's slow.. Audi still has superior brakes that won't fade as quickly and it corners very well.

A good safe choice for drivers that aren't that confident or ones that suffer from overaggressions. Forgiving, unlike Gumpert or Pagani. Audis probably will finish more races than any other brand.

Anybody have been training on the qualification circuit?
If so what is a fast laptime? I feel quite fast but when I feel fast I can still improve about 2 seconds on the top drivers
