3 blokes, three different cars, three arguments, no conclusions... yep, virtual top gear!

Well there was some agreement!
The Cayman S for instance, quick and competent but ultimately boring.

The Exige though (either version), that's a whole new can of worms!

I'm up for more thoughts later this week!

Well, there were conclusions, I just remember them being that all of us liked different cars and couldn't come up with ONE.

I'm currently not tired and looking through cars at the moment. I still like that Exige for reasons I will try and explain when we're next online together lol.

But I am looking for alternatives.

No problem chap!

We looked at a faster Class C car and those in B & A.
I think we've ruled out A class, just so that we can have a few other championships withhout having silly fast cars.

I'll maybe see you later Graham

[BCA]

Lozza, we dont want to go slower than the E36 but nothing beyond class B... we'll up the pace gradually.

Suggestions welcome.

Even you admitted....

Oh god, here it goes again!


I loved the standard one, the Cup 240 was ste though!

OP Updated... Lozz, you've got to be on it to get back ahead of Red next round.

Things are still rather close.

[redbarron84]

You're bound to be ahead of me as i'm missing it this sunday......but i'll be ready for the 'ring though!

As for thoughts on cars, the S4 I drove on sunday was good. Quite tricky to get it handling just right.......but a grid of them will look good painted up?

[LukeBird]

Well we ruled out FWD cars and were undecided over 4WD. I think we worked out that some are fun (Impreza's) so the S4 could be a good shout.
I drove the S5 on our testing night (we were pretty thorough!) and loved it!

Twitchy? Nonsense. Okay maybe a little bit

I'm actually swaying more towards a grid of Maserati Gransports but I htink Ben and I were going to have a little chat about it and perhaps a play a bit later on to see what's what and try and get a really good car for all of us.

[Muz_Wez]

Good racing last night chaps, I tried to stay out of the way as much as possible. Enjoyed the S class race as well, but was just too knackered to stay up any later!!!!!

[Lozza_s]

yea was very good clean racing, sorry left like that my xbox frooze and was to tired to turn it back on

[redbarron84]

So where are the results then? Me wants to see if i'm still in with a shout of beating Loz!

[BCA]

patience, I have been at work all day!!

[Graham.J]

Okay, I thought it about time I took some pictures of the races. So without further procrastination...

RACE 1:

Coming down to the hairpin where we thought it would get...interesting.



Some of you don't see what I see with Mikey...but this was what happened on my screen...



The CA Works chaps having some close racing



The battle for 2nd place between Loz and myself



Wuz and Loz having a bit of a 'moment'

[BCA]

Fastest laps were all pretty close too, the top three's fastest being 1:02.2/ 1:02.4/1:02.5 Results to follow...

[Graham.J]

RACE 2:

First corner exit



Race 2 was pretty uneventful at the front and the back, but the battle for 2nd between Loz and Ben was very exciting.

Loz getting a bit brave and giving it a bit too much POWEERRRRR



Ben has spied a gap with Loz's wide entry and decides to take advantage with some late braking...



After a little nudge after Ben's ambitiously late braking, he can't hold it and Loz stays in front



The battle continues on the start/finish straight



More late braking, "I'll have him in the braking zone!"



There was a gap and Ben takes full advantage (for a bit)



It was quite close...



With Loz spying a gap on the last corner on Lap 8

[Graham.J]

RACE 3:

Race 3 was very very normal. Nothing really happened apart from my unexpected off from the lead on the last corner of Lap 9/10 which would've been an absolute flyer (1:01.900)

Perfect line going in, turning right and feathering the throttle...


Still perfect line, turning right and feathering...


Still turning right...but...um...no that's going straight on???



Yes, that ended up in the wall

[BCA]

OP updated with results/ full table... bring on the nordshleife.

Loz didnt leave a gap, he took a different line completely - I hit him, and held back as it wasnt fair then the battle continued for loads more laps... Good racing, I enjoyed the little battles with you too G, my fave track.

[Graham.J]

I stand corrected...I was too far out in front to really notice what was going on back there

Our little battles were good fun and some very tight moments lol.
