If you get a chance Dean, check out some of the track setups (time etc.) and custom tracks mentioned two pages ago.

I should be available on Sunday.

They are very fun. I like them better than the MMC but the MMC cars are a better learning car setup. With tge exception of the 300. That thing is just evil. Fast but evil.

It was the starsdale that I did not know about. The other cars that seem like they would work are the Mercs but I did not get any to be fast enough.

Are there any BMW that would be a possible GT car?

With these GT cars if you haven't tested it yet...since you mentioned the vette, viper also crossed my mind.

I'll grab a couple cars today.

You can get some of the m3's within spec but are they in the spirit of a gt car? I believe the answer is M4 coupe.

Try the viper. The c7 is a good benchmark. It was right I the thick of things.

Ya it would be interesting to see how the M4 coup compares.

Tested the m3gtr the m4 and a Audi weird thing that cost 1.2m but it was also in the mix. The Audi is a crazy loose car that is trying to kill me at every corner.

I now have about 25 possible cars for the euro GT series

If I have time I will list them with comments.

Cars tested to data for the GT series. Some are a bit better than others but all with the exception of the Merc's (not shown in the list) have been competitive.

Cars 1-10

Cars 11-19

There may be a couple more that "fit in". I am not sure how to run this series. It Could be run as a grab bag and that would make it fun. I could widdle the list down to the 5 fastest cars from my testing (keeping the Audi as the 6th "wild card") as it is just nuts to drive. Spool would love it! Or we could do something similar to the muscle car series we ran a couple series ago or???

This also has me wondering if the KG/PP ratio of the Mucel cars needs to be changed a little. May be take some weight out of them or somthing.

Yes I have included the C7 in the list. It seemed to fit in well and was a good car.

Dang it I was hoping for a good group. I wanted to play with some of the home made tracks. I have a couple I wanted to test. I also wanted to test the GT cars with a larger group. See how they play in a pack.

I figuared between you and I we could alternate setting up rooms with custom tracks and test some. It would make the change over for everyone smoother. If we were in a room I set up you bail out and set up a room them PM me when it is all set. We all then jump over. Then just repeat back and forth. Keep the waiting to a minimum for everyone.

In reply to dean1484: The theme is mostly overlooked sports cars(and sports sedans/coupes), and TVR seems to be king of that category.

I am picking on it because we ran one of them a while back and it was less than stellar. That was befor the tire model and suspension model updates. So they are probably much better now.

So after alot of carful thaught it looks like.

Sunday will be the Fiat 500 at max tune and the GT cars in a grab bag format. I am going to see if there is a Jaguar that can be made to work otherwise I have a db9 that will work. Sauce is going to pick a Vanquish. We will limit the series to six cars. The other four are going to be the Maserati, California, M4, and the C8

For Wednesday it looks. Like MM cup car and the 90s Japanese cars.

Wednesday if Air is good with it we can run some more mock races of these and maybe test some more user made tracks.

Dean, the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish '10 is the car. All the Astons were about even in terms of pace but that one was by far the best driving of the lot.
