Wooooooo, Pommestheke ftw!

 

[Ashnoom]

:-( Won't be here. Going Karting with my colleagues ;-/

 

[Laiders]

Any Gentleman's agreement to drive a different car in each race?

Looks like E30 and Merc are balanced, Sierra 2 seconds a lap faster from time trial results. Would be nice to get some variety on the grid.

Edit: or use the Gentlemans agreement to limit wastegate pressure in the Sierra used on the actual original event?

 

[Cluck]

I suspect it will be as per your edit Laiders, yes

is that correct @Admins ?

We are still looking into it. We did not forget the agreement from the original event

Edit: Updated the OP with provisional BoP for the Ford Sierra

 

[SillySausage]

Despite the Ford being quicker I'm going with the BMW. 1. Because I own an E30 so I feel obliged to. 2. I find it much more comfortable and controllable over a race distance than the boost of the Ford.

How about it @Cluck, are we doing the Merc 1-2 again?

2-3 please, I am racing this time aswell

 

[InsaneBase]

I'll be in the Evo. So, here goes a 1-2-last for Mercedes.

One of my favourite RSR races ever . If we can get anywhere close to the nose-to-tail racing we had last time, it will be an epic race again.

I've got goosebumps just thinking about it again. I'll get you this time though Ramiboo

 

[Dama_The_Crow]

So, here is: Mercedes, BMW and Ford sierra? Any other cars?

No, That's it!

 

[Invincible]

Which one of these three is the easiest to drive? Disregard the pace, I need a stable car which isn't likely to spin out when I make small mistakes.

"Out of the box", I found the Merc the easiest to drive last time around, even though I could go faster in the BMW (oh no I couldn't - I was 1s faster in the Merc!). The Merc is a little more manic on the gearbox (6-speed, vs the 5-speed box in the BMW) but I just found it a far nicer car to drive.

If I remember, this is the car that unleashed my patented Cluck's-Random-Slide-O-Matic-Technique™ on the world

EDIT : Woo hoo, I posted the setup I used on the public forum. Will be interesting to see what 6 months of extra playing and autoclutch will get me this time around. In case it helps anybody - and to save them searching - this was my setup for the Merc

I'm looking doubtful for this already, just went to go and do some practice and the PC won't boot, when will my luck change

I'm sure we can sort that! Any Beep codes? Reseat the Memory, or make sure all USB devices are unplugged prior to booting.

i've managed to get it to boot by taking the 2nd graphics card out, for some reason it isn't seeing the 2nd card which was SLi connected. I've tried the second power connectors and they work and i've tried the 2nd card in my sons pc and that works, so I can only conclude it's a motherboard slot issue. I've got to turn my graphics seetings down now

Or it is time for a single 1080
