League Race #4 - Bratwurst Special

Announcing Race #4 folks.

The track:
Nurburgring GP/F. We know it, we've raced it, and it's sorted.

Driving here requires a good car on the tight corners initially but with a fast back straight a slouch will get passed.
Also, learning the track is important, there's a few corners that cars drop into and the back straight chicane is a mess if you're going too fast!

The cars:
It's GT590 time folks. Tune up your Japanese race cars to 590pp and be ready to race on in stuff like this:


Mad, bad and very Rad. Not much to say about tuning. The NSXs will have a nice chance thanks to the two straights, but I wouldn't want to chance them around the bends so much.

Other news (if you've read this far):
So, the latest seasonal is interesting. The car you win if you manage it is the Ferrari 330 P6, This beauty in fact:


Worth the effort I think you'll agree.
If you need a car that can win (you'll need a well sorted Ferrari road car) then I have one in my shared garage. Details on how to borrow a car here. I turned on ASM and left everything else off, and it wasn't too difficult to win each race. Trial Mountain was the worst as the Enzos I was racing were very fast on the straights - I ended up cutting corners to gain time and pass.

Other league business:
The snow race (after this race) isn't going to happen folks. I'll decide on the race closer, but currently thinking 80's cars (Luke your Subaru will be perfect) around Monaco or similar. That was ace fun last season. Details to follow.
