Can I confirm the host for Room B please. If anyone needs help tuning please just ask. Also these first two tracks are high speed tracks. So if your car is pretty slow but good in the turns get ready ;)

12 Laps per race should keep all 3 races finished within an hour. Cheers fella!
After a great seasons opener at Silverstone International the BTCC arrived at Road Atlanta. Today many cars were seen on the track practizing. To find the right setup is always important, but this time nearly nobody of the drivers could use old data from their notebooks, because in this series everything is new.
Last weekend in the UK 6 different drivers won in those 3 room A and 2 room B races. All cars were competetive and the racing was close. Organizers, sponsors, drivers and spectators were very happy with that "true racing" performance.
In the first races fair battles were going on, but there were some incidents, which mostly were caused by the mix of unknown drivers and cars. This time will be close racing again, but now the drivers know each other more. This time they understand the different FWD- and RWD-cars better.

"I am very sad, because I'll miss this weeks race,..", JDANKERT, ".. but I know that my drivers will give their very best and collect points for the team championship. I will return at Hockenheim and I will do it with a new livery. My sponsor Absolut Vodka has decided to pick another colour than our original blue-silver."
"The car wasn't visible enough, because there was another blue Audi.", said the marketing chief form Absolut.
Nice paint BMW! After looking at your tune I have developed the Audi some more and can now hit low 29s / 28s although the car is very very twitch :/ Cheers fella
One glitch in Forza at Hockenheim is that you can take turn one hot, go wide drive all the way out to the grandstand, get back on the track and make up time. To purposely do that as a strategy is not racing fair IMO. Just saying...

This is well known around here and is discouraged, it is recommended to keep two wheels on the track at all times. There are times you may be forced wide but persistent abuse can incur a penalty.

Hey boss I can send mine over it's very grippy as long as your not overly aggressive with the brakes
But bare in mind I'm no tuner but I like how it handles
If you send her over Stevie I will have a tune ready for next week fella. Just watched Andrew Jordan win the Dunlop MSA 2013 BTCC championship so pumped for this :)
Changes made to the sheet.
Cheers
My killer A576 Kia cee'd is straining to break 1:31 barrier at Road Atlanta!
Zeratul has no knowledge of signing with team DBBQ and kindly requests to be listed as Privateer.
I will run some laps later to see what i can do but i am sure i did a 1.29 in testing

@Jdan Awesome write up!
@BMW the key is scoreing points where you can.

Great photo's JDan
The Yuasa Honda looks good as well
5 laps of testing and a time of 1.28.9, but a bit of tweeking i think i can squeeze another 4 tenths out of the Civic
Man this BMW is really ticking me off. It has an acceleration of 8.2 and I still can't manage a 1.28
Whatever I guess. Just score points this round it is. (which sucks because if I ever have an advantage on a track it's this one).
Its what its all about, score consistant points will see you climb up the leaderboard
Race day. Looking forward to to it :-)
@all: Good luck to all and have fun! I am leaving now for a long train ride without chance of racing or watching. Sh.. !
@JDRT: Reach for more! Your teamboss want some podiums from you guys! See you next week.
I finally finished my touring car.
If anyone wants a copy let me know I'll send it over.
I sent a couple different ones over Gunny
