Toot Toot! All aboard the Z4 train!

 

[2scoops]

It will probably be a Z4 cup race

 

[SillySausage]

I was considering the Z4 but seems so this is a rematch, I really want to throw caution to the wind and try a car I've never driven or very rarely drive.

 

[m4nu]

Not sure what I should pick. Bentley is laughing at me

 

[Tom]

I've never raced the Cadillac before, so I might give it a try tonight. I struggled in the McLaren last time, so I won't be using that again.

 

[SillySausage]

I was actually leaning towards to Caddy too either that or the Audi, been too long since I drove that. Maybe even the newer of the Mercs too. I drove the Bentley last time Manu and it was really strong. Felt nice and planted over all the bumps due to it's weight.

 

[Mark]

It'd be great to see a good mix of cars. Gt3 is one of my faverourite categories. I always go for the porsche as I feel safest using that but like Battenberg, I think I will go for something different this time too.

 

[Tom]

Turns out I have to work late on Thursday, it's the school's open evening. This displeases me.

 

[miagi]

I'm going in the new Mercedes-AMG GT3. Alread had enough races with the Z4 and don't really enjoy most of the other GT3 cars. The AMG GT3 is quite cool even being easly 1 sec slower than the Z4.

 

[SillySausage]

Why not just set up a booth and livestream the race at the school's open evening Battenberg? I'm sure you could pretend it has some educational benefit for the kids.

I am all for it!

 

[miagi]

I won't be out for the upcoming GT3 races, far too much time and effort to learn and setup those cars just to have a crash fest.

I'd have a solid AMG GT3 setup I can offer. And practicing Brands (laser scanned track) is never a waste. Brands GP was for a long time my weak point, not really know why. Practicing is never a bad thing and I had quite some fun with the AMG GT3 on that track

 

[SillySausage]

Just did quite a few hours of practice (including a full length dry run race) and it looks like I'll be driving the Audi R8 this time round, been so long since I drove it so looking forward to it and feeling really comfortable with the car. I'm getting 1:24s in the dry so far.

 

[FlyingKman]

I like it RUF!

 

[Jonno]

Im going with British sophistication and a stiff upper lip...(i said lip dont get funny lol) one shall be driving an Aston martin why because im a good guy and only good guys drive Astons lol besides theres no jag or id of been in that lol

 

[Mark]

Yes please Miagi!
I've had a bash at doing a setup with that car and I've got it more to my liking but far from perfect I'm sure. Would be great to have something done properly to compare it to.

 

[Jonno]

ok turns out going British is a bad idea lol so im going German instead feels a lot more stable in the BMW than the Aston lol

 

[miagi]

I really hope we will have less BMW Z4s in this race than in the last time we did it ^^;

Here is the AMG GT3 setup
