Who said slower car are no fun?

Martin Edmunds · Jan 26, 2015

We raced tonight with the gang at ESR.
First time driving that car or that class ( Touring classic ) and it was quite fun.

Managed to finish second but i must say it was mostly because of other peoples mistake lol.

Great video, looked fun, oh, and the best races are always with the slower cars in my eyes, makes for great close racing.

Emilio · Jan 26, 2015

I agree! Races were great and again I think that Bathurst is the best looking track layout among the others... at the moment... I'm eager to see Macau and the Green Hell!
I was hoping to see more on the track honestly... but I understand touring and bathurst aren't as popular as, for example, the Dtm92 and European pack. Also I had in mind to do highlights of this race as well but the majority of us had the same car with the same livery so it'd look weird... I wish we could have a livery pack as well in the future... there I said that!

Love that launch control at the start, telling you all should get the app...will help.

There is DTM13 at Bathurst

Yeah I know but I was looking/hoping to fish some "old cars lovers" and do something different instead of the classical HP beasts race.
And after all we need some practice also with other cars, cause everyone knows that practice makes you perfect.... oh wait... did I say perfect?

My title would read, "who says slower drivers are no fun!"

I know, after all these years of practice I'm so much better now...and I thought practicing over and over again wouldn't make me better.

I was slow as heck in that Volvo. I should pick up the E30. It's cheap now, right?

Sean Kenney · Jan 26, 2015

not slower than me.

e30 is cheap if you have the dtm 92 car I think?

Yeah I picked it up for 65vrp,
I'll buy a different livery for @Emilio sake

Sean Kenney · Jan 26, 2015

I went the cheapest route BC I had to buy Bathurst, but I really wanted to try the volvo

How much are the liveries?

they are 99 vrp.
Considering the car usually cost 249 with the same livery for everyone and that i bought the car at 65vrp i have no problem spending 99vrp on a livery.

I have bought number #19 team bigazzi

According to the facebook tease a while back, we should get an update on both G5 and Touring Classics on the next patch!

Too bad I missed this one!
Bathurst is a daunting track that I both like and hate at the same time!.. .

Hate might be the wrong word, but it scares the hell out of me!!

Mach · Jan 27, 2015

This looks decent, don't know whether I'm up to speed yet, but I'd be up for joining you guys. It's about time I got stuck in.

Edit: I think your races are about 2p.m for me so I may be able to make some weekend ones. I'll keep my eye out, and get some friend requests going in the meantime, if that's okay.

SnappyDEe · Jan 27, 2015

Yeah, Ronin! Get in here and mix it up. It will be great!

I'm getting the e30 then. and a new livery to go with it!

Will do Mr. M!
I'm gonna put down Feb calendar in a few days... sadly I'll be offline for the first two weeks as I won't have access to my PC so you guys are gonna get all the fun while I'll be crying myself to sleep...

SnappyDEe · Jan 28, 2015

I'm going to go with the #18 Bigazzi.

SnappyDEe · Jan 28, 2015

Hey Emilio, the M1 Procar is ripe for it's own little series. There are a ton of liveries and I bet with a little investment by participants you would end up with some real nice footage for a video.

The only issue is, of course, the non-updated physics. But, with good participation (9 or 10 cars) it would be lots of fun, IMO.

I'm calling dibs on the #90 Warsteiner M1 Procar.

What do you say, guys?! Let's race 'em!
