White-Bread GT-A-Like Series

Welcome everyone to this next exciting installment of the White-Bread GT-A-Like Series!  "But what is this GT-A-Like thing all about?" I hear you ask, well basically it's a fun attempt at loosely recreating a real life race series using modified production cars.  In this particular case we're giving a nod to the Blancpain GT Series, and for those that are wondering about the name it's because the literal translation of "blanc pain" is "white bread" (from French to English, according to Google and what little I remember from school :D).

The spec is surprisingly close to what I could find for the actual Blancpain cars too according to their website, though for the sake of balance we're running a little heavier and with slightly more power:  550hp, 1350kg and 555PP on Racing Hard tires!


Allowed Cars:
Aston Martin V12 Vantage '10
BMW M3 Coupé '07 (standing in for the Z4)
Chevrolet Camaro SS '10
Ferrari 458 Italia '09
Jaguar XKR-S '11
Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 '08
McLaren MP4-12C '10
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG '10
Nissan GT-R Black edition '12


Sadly the BMW Z4 M Coupe doesn't reach the spec so the M3 is standing in for it, also the Audi R8 doesn't qualify as for some unknown reason you can't add a rear wing to it.


Required Parts / tuning:
Rear Wing
Driver Number
Racing Exhaust
Center Diff set to 10:90 for Lambo / Nissan (to replicated the RWD race cars somewhat)

Everything else is up to you, use whatever parts and settings you wish.  I did test both the Lambo and Nissan with the 10:90 split and they were quite drivable (if I can drive them anyone can :lolz), it's worth noting that the Gallardo does become more like an MR car handling wise so it's worth bearing that in mind when tuning though I'd be happy to share the settings I used in both (mostly just a little suspension / LSD tweaking).

Not sure if I'm going to be around tonight for this :(, woke up with a wicked headache this morning that hasn't gone away yet.  If anyone else wants to host tonight that's cool, I will post closer to the usual start time if I'm sure I won't make it and if it doesn't happen tonight then we can reschedule for next week.

No worries, Baked, hope you're feeling better too and thanks to you and Soks!  Headache seems to be getting a little beter but now I'm tired as crap so I don't think I'm going to make it tonight, sorry guys :(.  If anyone wants to run with the spec tonight please feel free to do so :), if not I'll repost it for next week and we can run it then.

Apologies everyone!

Since I'm too lazy to make an entire new post I'll just repurpose this one for this week's race :D.  So grab your pretend GT cars and get ready to race!
