Maybe, but have you LOOKED at the thing? It should be banned for being too ugly, it will put everyone else in the lobby off

The Panoz is not that bad looking.

Right, either you need glasses or your medication dosage is too high!

I love the Panoz!

Aye, I have. The interior is nice, and it has a center rear view mirror, unlike some other GTE cars (458 Italia, Porsche GT3-RSR). I wonder why Turn 10 does that to some of them, when watching in-car video during racing shows mirrors in those cars.

I've probably missed it when I was reading the rules for the TEC, but do Paints have to be submitted for spotters guide before race day to Chris or someone?

Yes please. I'm putting together a "tutorial" vid for the TCC guide as I've changed it up a bit to hopefully make it easier/speed up the process. Potentially people will be able to use that to just take a photo and send it to me, although if you want me to take the pic, just send over your paints as before.

Okay, Awesome well I will send the paint to you at somepoint today.

another question, is there manditory pit stops?

never mind, i found it

sorry man had to, and thanks anyway

Anyone want to run some laps right now? Gets lonely tuning and practicing by yourself.

get in touch with some XPR guys (hit up XPR Venom or XPR Soundwave) i'm sure they wouldn't mind testing with ya!

Poor MOPAR.

Some car PI and build changes have occurred. We have taken nothing away from cars as it is too close the event, but have given to the cars that were deemed slower.

At the risk of incurring the wrath of the community, some PI and build changes have been made to the car list in GTE.

Car have not had PI taken away from them, as we are too close to the event to be making cars worse and affecting car choice. However, the cars we deemed to be slower have been increased as you will see below.

Le Mans will see some slight changes to a few cars, namely the Corvette and Aston Martin. They will not be overly drastic. Until then, the cars will follow the new build rules.

All Cars run with Stock Wheels.

This new data has been provided by the help of Staff, the Community, and F4H with some in depth testing.

Jaguar RSR XKR GT - PI 757- Race Brakes, 310 Front Tyre Width, 340 Rear Tyre Width
Panoz Abruzi - PI 764- Race Brakes, 310 front, 320 rear
Porsche 911 GT3-RSR (Newest version) - PI 767 - Race Brakes, Race Driveline, 305 Front Tyre Width, 330 Rear Tyre Width
SRT Viper - PI 763 - Race Brakes, Max Tyre Widths

I COULD KISS YOU FRENCHIE RIGHT NOW!!!

Can the stint topic be opened,please?

About to start a 2 hour test session for anybody interested in joining let me know ASAP!

YeeeeeHAAAAAA!!!!

Glad some of you are happy.

Well we had this testing doc created at the club for ourselves. We also had a collection of data recorded over the last two years at these two tracks from events we organised or participated in. I have times from Magictap at Le Mans (I hope you remember cause you won!), V12 Riot at Sebring, even F4H Nikrox at Sebring and we tested every car (for these upcoming races) and when I seen people being upset about the balancing I decided to share our information with Richy so he could analyse it himself and with the staff. From there it was a case of testing to see what could be improved and that's what we did. In F4H we had myself, Hamilton, Bullet, Koenigsegg, Insanity, Diablo and Exiled put down testing times and what we found was with the new builds the times improved between .5xx - .7xx of a second quicker than the old builds.

We all know in GT that the Corvette and Ford were by far the clear choices followed by the BMW, Ferrari, etc. and although not all cars were changed - the cars are more competitive and ultimately leads to better racing for everybody. The gap between the slowest car and the fastest is now a lot closer.

Going forward I would be more than willing to share our information - in confidence - with Richy and the staff.
