I've not tested any of these cars yet so no idea what the pace difference is between them. If there is a car that is slightly slower I'll be taking that and would invite the faster guys from the GT3 series to do the same. This will make for some fun racing and mix the grid up

 

[JohannS]

In! At Donny the Porsche Cup might have a slight edge over the other cars, due to its cornering speed, not sure though. I'm gonna race the Lambo, simply because of the engine sound

This will be fun . I’ve been really concentrating on the Aston for the series…so a run out in a Lambo is really tempting

 

[Nascentes]

Great track and cars selection, Chris! I'm in. I'll try to drive the Porsche, but the Lambo is amazing, too. I'll drive the one and can be quicker.

Donington. I'll channel my inner Mansell. Count me in.

Just don't channel the inner Mansell that locked up and went straight on when he tried out the Mondeo in the BTCC

Didn't something break on the car to cause that accident, I remember watching it live, twas a shocking crash.

 

[Trox]

Any of these cars have TC?

I think at the time they thought both fronts had locked and stalled the engine if memory serves.
