I do think Bradsz deserves it more (sorry warpig2011 no offence intended just my personal opinion) considering Bradsz achieved this in Lobby A whilst qualified in 7th place and finished in 3rd place which that on its own is an amazing achievement and definite bragging rights.

whereas you qualified in 16th place and finished in 12th place which is still very impressive but when you consider where bradsz was in the race it can be considered more of a challenge

(sorry warpig again just speaking my honest opinion on this matter and do not mean any offence on this matter)

either way congrats to you both on such place gains at Mugello, just got to wait and see what happens at Nurburgring (never know you might get the hard charger at Nurburgring this time warpig)

Thanks tommy smurf, you nearly had it warpig as on the last 5 laps rotor caught me and did an amazing move past me which did wake me up and had to try mentally bully my way past him, if there was points for the best battle or so on rotor would of got it! Kept it clean for so long and being in an rx7 which from my experience is a slightly tail happy car

On another note who can beat the lotus at Nurburg? I know there going to be near the top this race, hopefully I can find my consistency at this track

Post race inspections have been complete. Please check the thread under "Required Reading" for details. Any questions PM aka ROWDY.

No one will be able to beat the lotus's at Nurburg...I know for a fact that at least 1 of them is putting in an amazing time and I think my time is A Room but I will not be able to keep up with them... I love this track so it should be interesting

I think it will be tighter with the Lotus cars than you might think considering Nurburgring does have quite a few power hungry section especially the up hill section before the Schumacher S bends. I think sector 1 is Lotus strengths but the rest of the sectors are more towards the other cars, not forgetting the GP circuit is fairly bumpy on sections which will upset the Lotus more than it does in the heavier more powerful cars.

Well..I consider myself a descent driver and my car has 100 more HP than it but the lotus is lighter by 900lbs..But the way it pulled away from my GT was like it had 300hp more than me...I know those cars are super lite and most of Nurburgring GP is turns....the Lotus will out corner you and out drag you down the straight so we do not have a chance.

I will be running room later tonight so if you get a chance join in....Hopefully there will be a lotus in the room and you will see exactly what I am talking about.

Fyi the section you mention is where it started to pull away from me

Thanks for the compliments, I've spent some time and effort tuning my car. And as far as the Lotuses go, I highly doubt anyone can beat their time on this track...I built a rough tune at base PI and after 3 laps I beat my FD time by over a second and a half without breaking a sweat (I wouldn't call my FD a slouch either)...those freaking Lotuses are in a class of their own...I honestly don't know why they can't be ran in GT class considering they run competitive times there.

My point exactly, they're too fast in GTC class as well, yet we're the only class that has to deal with them. All I'm saying is, we have to run with them in GTC then why doesn't GT have to run with them since you can build them to spec (Full GT spec since apparently there is an engine size limitation, engine swaps are allowed)

Yes, I mean the exige...sorry for the confusion DasVDub88. The evora seems evenly matched everywhere...I'm assuming

the evora has awesome handling but is a bit slow on the straights.

Actually they did run in GT last season and didn't do as well as the ppl who ran them thought they would

yeah a could did run them but they're not allowed anymore. i drove one and was .5 to a second faster than my lambo last season.

I did too for about 4 races last season and got fed up with being lagged wrecked, the car seemed very capable to me (I think I would've had a shot at the podium in my exige in GT last season if it wasn't for the misfortune of lag wrecks and me quitting afterwards for being fed up with all that mess). Either way its not allowed in GT class now for some odd reason but is in GTC even though it can be built to spec for both. If it is allowed to run GTC it should start at a lower PI to make it even with the other cars in the series. Well enough of my complaining and logical reasoning, it is what it is this season...I just think rules or restrictions should be made for that car next season if its still allowed.

There is a min stock engine size for GT of 3.0. Prior To any engine swap.

I know I'll probably get bashed about this but the lotus' are there for everyone to choose. There isn't a limit for the amount of cars on the grid. Look at how many 458's there are. Anyone not happy with the lotus, maybe you'll consider running it next season after its dominance this season. I do understand that people want to drive cars that they either own or enjoy but unfortunately they may not be competitive.

I think you are missing what ppl are say and it was actually mentioned at the beginning even before the Season started that the Lotus Exige should be banned from GT as well cause it is just too good for this class. I am not upset at any of the guys who are running the Exige cause it was on the listed and they choose it. But to make it fair for next season we are just suggesting it be banned for next season or have a very low pi that will make it not dominate. There is no way anyone driving that car should be above 630pi unless they are new to Forza and racing.

Fyi...this is not a bashing because I respect everyone option

I still disagree with gdub that the exige should be banned. I do however dont understand how the guys running the Exige still have such a high PI.
