If I remember correctly there used to be like one month or three months subscriptions, now it's only one year and I don't have 10 euros at the moment

So I guess I have to wait until I get it.

Isn't 908 a better match for a GT40? Anyway, I'm in as maybe with Ford.

Hmmm, the problem is that the GT40 stands between that two porsches. I can add the 908 if anyone want to try it...

If you take a look at RSR Live Timing you see that the Porsche 917K did a 1:30:359 as best
http://www.radiators-champ.com/RSRL...controller_type=all&community=all&friends=all
the Porsche 908 1:38:765
http://www.radiators-champ.com/RSRL...controller_type=all&community=all&friends=all
and the Ford GT40 1:38:197
http://www.radiators-champ.com/RSRL...controller_type=all&community=all&friends=all

So its true the Ford is in between the Porsche but the difference is not so heavy between 908 and Ford as between 917K and Ford. So if someone is interested in the 908 it can be nice for him but in this race there should be only 917K because i can make easy a 1:38:765 in the Porsche without a problem and i'm not a good driver. My oppinion is that the next time the Ford and the 908 is a real competition.

Damn GT40 is a beast, I couldn't drive it at all, is there something with tire pressures or setup? Like on F40 the tires are terribly overpumped. I will stick with it for now, but if I'm the only one driving it, I will switch to 917.

go to the 917K so we all drive the same car. Its not a race if you take the GT40 and i overtake you twice (as a slow Driver).

@Geof: can you post your Setup file for the 917K. I think you have done some good movements on the Setup if i see your new record on RSR (yes and for sure you are a good Driver ...)
thx in advance
