Can we change the running order please?

Virginia is DLC and I'm too tight to buy the Porsche pack but I'm on hols for a fortnight from the 12th so can you look to run there on one of these weeks??

Also, can I run the Bentley? Should be spectacular with my throttle control in the wet... If not I'll probably run either the Audi or Z4 like my learned friend above.
Ignore my previous post - the Bentley is a steaming pile of poo, which I've managed to make worse with my extensive tuning skills... I'll be in a Z4

Part of me wants to use the R8 to reduce the number of Z4s in the field, but it's too slow - no tune can fix it frown

Might have to mess around with some minor upgrades to try and make it level with the Bimmer, then talk you into letting me use it hehe

You got yourself a headset yet fella?

Idle, I presume only tuning allowed is change of suspension/wing angles and gearing etc?

Yes please, no upgrades. Last time we ran this it was very close so i want to keep that if possible and only make changes to help people if needed. To be fair i have been unable to get any real extra pace out of different tunes but i have made the Vette more stable and consistence for me. I will be about tonight from 9pm for some practice and happy to share my tunes for the Vette and Merc.

Will me telling you that any 'sensible' upgrades don't make it any faster? hehe

I'll probably hop on tonight at some point and we can see if the R8 is OK for race pace (no upgrades). thumbup

If I get a mic then I'll have to explain myself when I inevitably end up taking out Idle on the first lap hehe

But seriously, I should I have a mic for the first week of this series, if not then the week after. biggrin
