[Enzo Fazzi]

Sign me up!

 

[Jamie]

Yeah boi! Hopefully we can get a few more

Hope one more helps. In!

 

[Michael Stead]

In.

 

[elloLeo Kinnunen]

Not a fan of the Toyboata either... sure I can't drive something else?

 

[Matt]

might be a good idea to add a couple of cars to the mix maybe? I like the toyota tho

 

[elloLeo Kinnunen]

Maybe like a Subaru BRZ or something?

 

[Chris]

I think the only car that is comparable in terms of laptime is the BMW M3 E30. Will do some testing right now.

However, we've already changed cars once from the (far superior in every way) Alfa GTA to the GT86, so I'm inclined to just leave it as is.

 

[Matt]

I hate that alfa

 

[elloLeo Kinnunen]

Yup don't worry if it's too much trouble Chris. I'll be happy to not drive the Toyota next week instead!

 

[Chris]

I LOVE that alfa

Fixed.

 

[Chris]

Oh, sorry were you racing tonight Tom?

 

[elloLeo Kinnunen]

Nah didn't have any time or great inclination for practicing that combo... hoping to be back next week though

 

[Chris]

no worries.

Okay well, I've added the BMW M3 E30 and Abarth 500 S1 to the car list. Both seem to be very similar to the Toyota in laptimes

 

[zAmboni]

I'm awake, I'm in

 

[Chris]

That was freakin' fantastic! Little Fiat for the win! (3rd) lol

Great fun guys. Guess a full field of these would see a lot of laughs and close racing. Might be changing my mind on road cars .

Lots 'o fun guys!

This was really the first time I drove the Toyota since it was released. In some practice Friday night about the only way I could keep speed through the corners was to kick out the rear a little on downshifts. Problem is that it is hard to do that successfully for a full race...and I failed a few times doing so.

Towards the end I was sliding around a bit because of slightly worn tires and I pumped up the pressure a bit and that didn't help. Forgetting to brake and turn when you are laughing too hard doesn't help

Awesome race! Was pretty frustrated I out braked myself and went off on my own But it was great fun coming through the field and keeping @Michael Stead behind me the win felt very rewarding!

Looking forward to the next race!

 

[Enzo Fazzi]

I was hungover and overslept. Shame to miss this, it seemed kinda fun!

Also, the Mito QV is about the same speed as well, it's lacking corner speed to the GT86 and agility to the Abarth, but the engine in that thing is pretty insane. I've got a Mito Sport in real life, which is mostly the same, just a bit heavier and minus 20Nm torque, but the way it feels in the game is really similar!

It looks like I have a broken bit of suspension in one of those shots lol
