Can everyone send me the tunes back I sent last night! wink

TBH I think it is a good move. I don't mind winning but not buy a long long way there is no fun in that.

Right I better get tuning then.

You dont mind winning???? Well there is a shock.. on a serious note i think this is also a good idea however will reserve judgement until i see some BMW lap times as am not sure weight is the issue with the m3, it is the disproprtionately high top speed it achieves on the straights,  however perhaps this will blunt its acceleration just enough. Heres hoping because my poor wee Alfa just aint in the races, like a B class against A's

Sorry General.

I love winning and its one of the 2 reason why I race. The other is to race with you guys, but thats what I want to do race.

I will do some testing tonight to see how much it affects me in the BMW although a Cossy was second this week. Well done to Foot yes

Although the Beemers are quick, they are also in the hands of quick drivers so dont expect a huge drop off in times.  They will drop some but they are still qucik cars.  Just not as big of a difference in times

Can I change my Car to the Cossy as my M3 has been stolen and I don't have the funds for a new one?

So I have just tuned and tested the BMW, Alfa, Ford and Merc @ Silverstone and all 4 cars are coming in at the 2:07.xxx mark.

Quite worrying as I have a 5% Handicap and now an extra 202lbs of weight.

This race should be interesting. I will be aiming for 4th or 5th as the lead on other drivers should keep me clear for a few races smiley

what are you going to do about the handicaps now that the bmw is 202lbs heavier? i do agree the bmw is quite fast but i already have a 10% handicap. can we run some laps and work on an "alien specific" handicap or something?

Handicaps stay as they are

 I have now tested all the cars with no Handicaps etc and they are running very very close lap times (With my driving and tuning)

So the handicaps as is will now work as they should. It shouldn't be down to the Caps TBH to pull a car back to the rest of the field and I think the BMW was way way way to quick before the weight increases so personally I'm happy to keep the H/C as is.

Personal Opinion BTW
