I'm off on Monday and Tuesday next week, could do with getting some laps in with somebody as I think I'm pretty much used to the wheel, but don't know how my speed is yet

I fear it may be slower, so want to see how I keep up with someone

I have 2 or 3 B Spec drivers but there is no 'endurance' races listed in B Spec

I'm level 21 or so B Spec, and both drivers are around that too.

Or is it just the A Spec endurance races you can bring in a B Spec Bob for?

BTW they are hosting a 2 hour Spa Endurance Race on friday for some euro saloon cars.. if your interested in joining go here

http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=232650

i did some testing last night

BMW M3
Lap 1 - 2'45.921
Lap 2 - 2'42.624
Total - 5'28.545

Notes
Very stable car, quite easy to drive, probably a good enduro car.

Mercedes C63 AMG
Lap 1 - 2'45.027
Lap 2 - 2'42.917
Total - 5'27.944

Notes
Very oversteery, over the course of a 2 hour race the tyres will start to deteriorate rapidly!

Alfa Romeo 8C
Lap 1 - 2'45.847
Lap 2 - 2'41.166
Total - 5'27.013

Notes
Understeer to snap oversteer, not great.. It is controlable but will require some effort.

Aston Martin DB9
Lap 1 - 2'44.837
Lap 2 - 2'39.873
Total - 5'23.710

Notes
Very nice car, very stable and nice to drive, have to watch the front tyres tho.

TVR Tamora
Lap 1 - 2'43.041
Lap 2 - 2'40.048
Total - 5'23.109

Notes
On the edge all the time, going to be easy to make mistakes with this. Felt neutral tho through the corners which is good.

Maserati Gran Turismo
Lap 1 - 2'46.161
Lap 2 - 2'43.299
Total - 5'29.460

Notes
It looks fantastic, sounds the same but drives... ****!

Mercedes SL55
Lap 1 - 2'43.516
Lap 2 - 2'40.877
Total - 5'24.395

Notes
This car supprised me, very understeery so tyres are an issue but it was just so planeted and stable, buig and heavy so had to break very soon.

Yup, was cool

Until I started to epically fail in the M3 and kept clipping grass/kerbs etc which made me spin

Got to the point where I was over a minute behind so just did donuts, as you probably saw

Got myself sorted out better last night. Sitting on the edge of my bed wasn't working that well, so got my Corsa B PC chair and used that with the wheel. So much better, if the seat went a bit lower then the driving position would be just like a car
