Interested to try the 3.0 now after hearing this - if only because then I can see what your idea of slow is hehe

I might end up with a whole team of BMWs if I can make it good, that would appeal to me!
My idea of slow: hehe

I failed to take less than 1 minute and 26 seconds to drive it around Deep Forest, making it roughly 3 seconds slower than the RX8 I was driving before it.


For reference, my choices and Deep Forest lap times:

Alfa GT: 1:25.5
Mazda RX8: 1:23.7
Elise 111R: 1:23.3

Failed to make the cut:
Skyline Sedan 350GT: 1:25.6ish
Z4 3.0 roadster: 1:26.5 or so
147 GTA: 1:26.can't remember, but more commonly over 1:27.

well its not slow per say just slow compared to the others, if you pick all bmws you must change your team name to BMW Sales hehe
hehe I'm verging on fanboy, I realise that.. I will have two though, that's for sure! The other one may be Japanese..

Thanks for the times, Alfa - the GT is hobbling you a bit, no? All mine are at least within a second at Trial Mountain, but it remains to be seen whether my fastest choice is actually quite slow biggrin


Ah yeah, I forgot to mention earlier, I won't be able to race in the inter-championship on Wednesday, as the missus just won a pair of tickets to see Jo Brand that night. Best of luck in it!

Yeah, but I can't be Team Alfa Ricambi without any Alfas so I'll just have to put up hehe

EDIT: Hope you enjoy the show!

Not me this time. I got Sébastien Foucan to do it with more style.

I'll be choosing a car tonight after the interchamp event. I really want it to be the Elise - it's beautiful to drive... if I can only make it more tolerant to more than a few degrees of oversteer. Otherwise my fists of ham and feet of lead will see me spinning regularly in the race.

I've already painted the 111R, no turning back now. It's my racecar and it is my fastest ride and it will not let me down.





I hope

111R is my fastest so far. However I wont go with it for the very reasons you are giving.

Colin said I wouldn't be able to spin the Megane... but I did.

i give you the "special hat" for doing that hehe

elise'96 is more stable through the corners but slightly slower in straight lines but still pretty damn fast
