Well, you all know my colour scheme and team name - all as last year.
Cars is another issue. The RX8 is fast, so that's probably my saloon, other than that I'll have to test.
Thanks for organising again Colin.

CJ you might be unpleasantly surprised to hear that the California and the big Merc were both on my shortlist for testing :Hehe:

i tested about 80 cars so id imagine someone else had but no one has picked them yet for sure

80 cars!?!?!? Bloody Nora.

thats nothing usually its over 100

[CJ1987]

problem is i like a lot of cars but i also dislike using obvious cars thats why it took till the 4th season till i used the evora hence all the testing.

[CJ1987]

the start date will be the 29th then

As of right now I'm not sure how much of next season I'll be able to do, what with exams, then moving home, then moving to where I'm going to be for my placement year, it might be a case of doing the odd race here and there, but would like to take part when I can

PSN: SLR-Adam
Team: AMR
Colour: Black if it's still free please (Edit, just saw I was too late! Let me get back to you!)
Cars: Thinking M5 and California, not too sure on a coupe yet. None of those are set in stone though!

colours dont get reserved from now on so your free to pick any colour even if someone else has the same colour

[CJ1987]

the reason why all the cars for each driver have to be the same is the team idea that was implemented in season 2 to allowed each driver to drive several cars throughout the season so if you want your cars to be different colours then will need to reset back to the 1 car for the season.

Fartgalen said:

But with these rules Col everyone can have the same colour anyway ?

well as we've seen so far everyone has their own preferred colour but this way several of the guys dont need to have a colour that isnt their first choice just because someone else already took it

[CJ1987]

what confuses me is i stated this would be happening weeks ago and its only now theres objections. Even though me and furball have both picked orange theres a clear difference between both and i reckon that would be the same for any colour that 2+ people pick

[CJ1987]

@mule

that could be true lol

@adam

dont worry about it

Fartgalen said:

I'm not exactly objecting. Just saying (like Sam) that I thought it was a good idea everyone using different colours. Certainly helps back markers know who's behind them. (So they know if they should let them by, or barge them off )

well the back markers are allowed to stick to their normal line if in any doubt so the car behind then needs to get past cleanly

Pink has been used before. It was before my time but I do think it's the reason Tron's bronze cars didn't break the record for the most flak generated by a colour.

yeah it was matte pink

[CJ1987]

surprised you havent commented yet on one of the cars in the GT6 trailer or maybe you have keeled over with excitement

[CJ1987]

Fartgalen said:

Pfffff ! Call that 'air' ? This is getting air !

i can remember seeing that in my rear view mirror and thinking wtf are they up to?

[CJ1987]

Alfanatic said:

OK, so it was a GT5 epic fail, not a driver's spectacular misadventure?

maybe both?

[CJ1987]

emails sent to all the panellists but as ive said can you keep your roles private please as it gives this idea the best chance of working

[CJ1987]

update to the rules regarding ballast/late braking moves also can we move chat here please as this is now the active thread

Anybody been practicing at Monaco yet? I'll let someone else post a time first for obvious reasons....

quickest ive done so far (after 5 laps practice) was a 1:43.6 but i wont say which car

[CJ1987]

Carmo99 said:

I'm going to have a go tonight.
I'm thinking Elise, NSX and RX8. An the Elise would be the obvious Monaco choice.

id imagine with that combo of you in a elise you will do well long as you keep it out the barriers
