car: GT3 BMW (#7 redbull if ya wanna know)
reason: 1. I think that after the GroupC series, the top 3 should run the GT2. I came in 5th but if I had done the whole season I think I would have been in a fight for a higher finish. 2. I tested both the BMW & Porshe at Toronto with same setup just to try to eliminate some of the variables. I found the BMW has better accelleration and is more stable. (comparitively speaking). I found the Porshe has a smaller braking zone but to be much looser even in a straight line. So for my driving style I have to go with the BMW.
BTW I hope the wear rate wont be set to high, both these cars drift like a tokoyo night scene.

I'm a little confused... could be you have mixed up GT3 and GT2 ?
The Redbull BMW is GT3, while Vector and Saleen are GT2. And when GroupC Top 3 drivers are running GT3, this might become a close thing for the GT2 competitors. The GT3s are about 2-2,5 sec slower per minute (depends on track), but are far less fuel consuming... 50% less, to be precise. So by setting right race lengths..... ;D
I'd probably take a Porsche
The 911 is the best turning car, though somewhat touchy and tailhappy.
Easiest and most balanced GT2 ride probably is the Vector, btw

I did`nt bother voting, as i`ll only make the first race anyways. My shoulder Op is a few days after that, so will be absent the remainder of the season i`d say. But will probably use the Beemer GT3(the slower one?) Cheers...

I'm a little confused... could be you have mixed up GT3 and GT2 ?.... Yes I realized that this morning when I was a bit more awake that I had inverted the 3 & 2, I'll change it now I tried to change the pol but can't, If a mod would be so kind I'd appreciate it

I just got informed that once a poll is started on proboards it can not be changed SO to clarify, the poll question has the GT2 & GT3 inverted, my fault oops. However I assume everyone gets what the question really should have been but if not I'll re-start it.
