GTR has no chance. not sure why nissan/nismo didnt go into the GT2 class

Really did you see the times posted around the Paul Richard circuit in testing?? I know its only testing but it does look like the GTR will at least be competitive ;)

1. 2010 GT1 Nismo / Gigawave Nissan R35 GT-R - 2:05.447

2. 2010 GT1 Matech Ford GT - 2.05.948

3. 2010 GT1 VDS Ford GT - 2.07.401

Don't read too much into the pre-season testing times for these cars.

I have a mate that works for the Jet Alliance GT1 team (Aston DB9R's) and I remember him telling me that the governing body uses the testing times to try and even out the field by giving extra ballast etc to the fast teams. So as a consequence they used to do all of their pre-season testing on 5 year old slicks that were half useless to make themselves look slow.

Actually I just remembered they did it by determining the size of the restrictors they all had to run.

Alright - I'm off to Spa to watch this one :thumbsup: Although I'm going with Brisby so I'll have listen to his Corvette rubbish all weekend I'm sure.

Best bit is for the 2 days after the race we'll actually get to play on the track :D

yeah not surprised - they are a whole other level up from the cars around.

and speaking of levels, the r35 is running it gt2 not outright, right? It is much more road car than the top level cars

The GTR & Ford GT were running to 2010 GT1 rules, getting a head start on the competition.

Have been working with the Ford GT GT1 cars for next year, all new Aero package.

Sponsorship all set, should be a good year for the ford's running some great drivers

Nissan has some updates over last years but is pretty similar in styling.

I love the toys you get to play with. the proper GT cars are the some of the most seriously engineered cars around

Pitty I'm stuck here in adelaide and they are in Switzerland :P

was invited over to the launch at Paul Riccard But i think the new mortgage is more important at the moment.

know anyone that wants a GT3 spec Ford GT here? chuck us a PM if you do!!

    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
    • Man, I miss having a phone that fits into my hand!  
    • The speed this thing starts up is making me want to replace my old one. Though my old one immediately kicks into reverse camera as soon as reverse is engaged, it's clearly not part of the android system. For everything else though, starting up, connecting to hotspot, opening maps, starting music in spotify is easily a ~2 minute affair.
    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
