These can be a little harder to paint, things don't line up quite normal, noto as bad as R1's though.
I'll run with ya Gunny?
I'll go room B for the shakedown and see what the lap times are like.
very nice paint oldschool
Confirming driver #2 for Team DBBQ Racing.
Requesting Room A.
Enduro is good.
GP tracks are good.
LeMans & Nordschleiffe are fantastic.
Aero settings . . . not good but will comply.
I has my cars. First restictors???WTF that mean??
Opels have distinct advantage at LeMans. By about 2 seconds per lap.
I'll try this out myself this weekend. If it were an issue and Gizzie wanted to, the aero could always be either ramped up on the Opel, or dialled down on the others for le mans. I would imagine its just the high speed aspect that does it on le mans.
I'm in....................put name in Room A , not sure if this is right?
Im down for room B. Max, are we running as a team for this?
Interesting, I didn't see much of a difference between the three
Opel gets up to 180mph faster than the other two and stays at 184 mph for a few seconds before having to brake for Playstation Chicane (1st Chicane).
Mercedes just touches 184 mph before braking for PSC.
Audi just touches 183 mph before braking for PSC.
Opel is lighter by about 5% and has lower amount of down force which MAY (or may not, there's no easy way to verify this) translate into less drag. It was the only car that I could achieve under 3:50 so far (about 4~6 laps trial in each car).
That was my preliminary finding; I'll do more runs to verify the initial lap times.
try the astra with the aero all the way on grd, but i dont think that will help just get in and out of the corners better i will do some testing tom night
i would love to join in on this..... room b please free agent looking for a team
Love these cars. I may only race in the endurance at the ring though... It's a good personal challenge. I signed up in room A.
You can count me in on this one guys.
can not resist driving the DTM cars. car choice to be decided soon
Team DBBQ Racing will be competing in Audi A4. I will be doing more Opel testing tonight (default downforce & max downforce) as well as Audi tune trials.
Opel with default down force: Still 3:49 but drive not quite as tidy as it could be
Opel with max down force: 3:53 (approx. 4 seconds behind, top speed of 177? mph)
Audi A4 with default down force: 3:50, about 0.5~1.0 second behind Opel, clean lap
okay i did some testing tonight
opel @ 3.48.910
audi @ 3.48.595
merc @ 3.49.392
they were the builds in the garage
Holy moly, gizziegod; those are awesome lap times. Just barely managed 3:48.9 in Audi last night. Good car.
Could you send me the 3 builds please gizzy? I tried the opel and I'm over 6 seconds off your time.
