Hey man, take it easy! I myself have one of BMW's in my garage and I love this car!

Now about your choise. I think that your intuition helped you, not just "tighter". I can say that this "tighter" for me was a bit scary, as Nissan in some moments is too tight and doesn't give you a tenth of the second to avoid mistake. But, as I stated above, we need to sacrifice something in each variant.
ATM, I think that is better to not talk about weakness of the BMW, since car selection period is still running, and everyone need to choose without extra opinions.

I had an e36 325i and it was a great car. Unfortunately the wheel arches disintegrated and the electrics failed on a weekly basis! It had a lovely smooth 6-cylinder sound and a great turn of pace though, which made all the tinkering hours worth it!

 

[Ross McGregor]

I've thought about a couple of different livery ideas, and here's probably the strongest one:

Just looking for any feedback regarding ways i can make it better?

 

[Ross McGregor]

Updated, tried to jazz it up a little:

I think that looks better now, but i've still a wee bit to do yet.

I based the colour scheme on the GT Academy Nissan GT-R GT3 currently racing in the British GT championship: (i took the pic at Snetterton btw)

Can I just remind everyone that is doing - or has done - their livery themselves to get it to me asap, please.

I've got to put together a skinpack - and I'd like to have a basic one in place for the testing event- which is a week today.

Thanks in advance

 

[Ross McGregor]

All done now, skin sent off to Mr. T:

Here are some shots from private test of Nissan team somewhere in Japan...

 

[Stuart Thomson]

By the way, can I just thank the native language speakers for not ripping my head off with some of the garbled nonsense I've put on some of the programmes so far.

I'm pretty sure some are crimes against language on an almost unpardonable level, so thanks for understanding.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

@Tim Ling - of the user created skins, I'm just missing yours now. Deadline for submission is tonight at midnight.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Also - there are quite a few "regulars" missing from the sign ups so far.

I know we probably won't get up to the old 30 driver heights of a few seasons ago, but we normally have >13 sign ups by this time.

Is that down to the difficulty of car choice (I hope) or more depressingly, a lack of interest?

Or maybe it's just some guys are waiting til after the test event to make their choice. At least that's what I'm hoping.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Is it only me, or is the GPCOS website down.
I haven't been able to access it for a couple of days now.

I think the same happened just before last season

Defo not a lack of interest Stuart. I'm going through my work rota with a fine toothcomb atm. My normal hours are 0700-1900, what I want to avoid (and what's happened before) is putting down to race, copping a late job at work (which is getting more frequent) and then getting home too late. I'd honestly rather not participate at all if there is a chance of that happening again as it feels bad considering all the hard work you and Knut put in to organizing these events and everyone else puts in to participating.

If it looks viable then I'll be signing up Monday night with a default livery Escort

@Ross McGregor - Ross, I can't get hold of your file, mate.
