On Saturday night we ran the GTS cars at Laguna for one of our races. These times don't count towards the weekly TT, but here they are for reference:

Rick - 01:37.838 - C418 Audi TT
Raybob - 01:38.120* - C448 BMW M3
Dillon - 01:38.735* - C448 BMW M3
Brad - 01:39.993 - C448 Porsche 911T
Brad - 01:42.380 - C401 VW R32
*Not a clean lap

Raybob - 01:38.120* - C448 BMW M3

*Not a clean lap

I thought that went without saying ;)

Hey now!!! Except for short-cutting Turn 3 at Road Atlanta (you know it even when you don't see it :D ), Raybob drives pretty damn clean when we are racing.

[Robbie]

I'm just messing around. :p

2) brad - 1:39.324 - B448 Porsche 911T

Anyone else???

1:36.667 M3 B448

I'm pretty happy to break into the 36's.

[Snymo]

It's getting interesting....

1) robbie - 1:36.667 - B448 - BMW M3
2) brad - 1:38.499 - B443 - VW Scirocco

[Snymo]

As of 11/5:

1) rick - 1:36.270 - B443 - VW Scirocco
2) robbie - 1:36.667 - B448 - BMW M3
3) brad - 1:38.499 - B443 - VW Scirocco

And for those interested I actually ran each of the five GTS cars, using it as a testing session to see how equal the cars actually are. I ran a warm up lap and four flying laps in each car, then ran each car again for two or three flying laps to see if I could better the time. Here are the results:

1) 1:36.270 - B443 Scirocco
2) 1:36.670 - C418 Audi TT
3) 1:36.757 - B449 Porsche 911T
4) 1:36.779 - B448 BMW M3
5) 1:36.856 - C401 VW R32

After this I'd say the cars are pretty evenly matched with less then 0.6 seconds seperating all of the cars. Just up to driver preference which one works best for you.

Brad

[Snymo]

I won twice in a row, so I'll let Robbie choose. And, I think we should make this a two week long TT from now on to give more people a chance to join in based on work schedules and to try to set fast times. Thoughts???

Robbie, what's the plan??

Rick

[cobrad]

Two weeks is a great idea. Robbie what's your plan??

Oh and Rick we missed you at the banquet and the carts were a blast.
