It's actually bright red...

 

[Tony]

I will be there for this event even though I hate the car
Bloody Sun suggests this crappy car then pulls out ( MONGREL)

Do we have any cars on rails so I can at least stay on the track?

Looks like its going to be a quiet race, I reckon I could finish 5th in this race

 

[Sun Levi]

Actually, Sign me up Chris! and I don't mind if we change cars? ahaha I don't mind this at all but something abit more grip would be nice

 

[Chris]

haha I don't mind what car we run guys.

As long as we have a car to race lol.

 

[Chris]

[Chris]

For the record, I'm happy for the 1M Stage 3 to remain, but if you all want to change it to something easier/faster/grippier/whatever then I'm all for that

What about the Lotus Elise?
That's a great little car!
And it's so light that it's practically on rails (Tony).

 

[Marcus McBride]

I really like the feel of the Elise. Really don't like the 1M.

 

[Justin]

I'm supportive of whatever everyone else wants but I'd put a vote in for sticking with the current car we have. I've been racing in cars with too much grip as of late so to drive something with absolutely none at all would be refreshing, even if I'm atrocious in road cars.

 

[Michael Young]

I'll join in the battle. Idm what car, but since we don't really race the lotus GT cars with the gt3 we could try them?

 

[Sun Levi]

Like Chris said, As long as we have a car to race I'm happy

btw I've just tried this combo and it's pretty awesome!

 

[Chris]

Alright, so did ya'll want the GTC?

 

[Risto Kappet]

Cmon choose already

But donington national is a great flowing fast easy track so sign me in whatever the car

your gonna smash us regardless lmao xD

 

[Chris]

Well, since there's no real consensus on what we're gonna drive, we're gonna stick with the 1M Stage 3

 

[Risto Kappet]

Allright 1M it is

I did 1.17.5 after about 10 laps, 1.16 MIGHT be possible but the track limits are very strict then maybe not. ABS is near-mandatory lol.
By the way are we going to use mechanical damage? Ive heard stories that with 100% boost the car wont last long. Perhaps better to turn it off so there are no grey areas?
Or if you wont then i will practice until i have the perfect turbo setting and wont tell it to anyone

 

[Gary Lennon]

Anyone know how the timeszone thing works for an interested Eurozoner here?, like is this about to start in 2 or 3 hours or something?, or just over 24 hours from right now?.

Cheers

Nope, mechanical damage will stay on.
Just don't run at 100% boost all the time. We had the same thing with the 98T race.
It amazes me how many people run with damage off, and 100% boost lol.

Sorry, you don't want to race because your setup isn't finished?
