    I was thinking for the next races we drive more powerful cars like a Toyota Supra (with all drivers driving the same model) and taking them to the Nordschleife. 1 lap there is a small 20.830 km's.

    If there's one we've all got the base model of that would be ideal, that hasn't been souped up. Maybe one earned through the Menu campaign?

    Or something that can be purchased in the showroom so everyone can access it.

    I'll take a look at what cars we can get in the showroom for the next meet.

    Just not crazy money but something that will be powerful straight from the base. Supra is a good shout.

    I have the Hyundai Coupe and it's a belter, have it tuned to the gills though. BMW M3 could be a good shout as well.

    Ah, I’ve spent the last two hours doing up my Clio (visually, not mechanically) and ye’re on about using faster cars? 😰

    Ha, just a selection of cars to keep things interesting, will definitely keep the clios in the loop.

    Is there a list of PSN IDs?

    Feel free to add me, steoc4

    I generally can't commit to a specific schedule between work and parenting but hopefully I'll be able to join a race some time. Is there a certain spec Clio I should have at the ready should the stars align?

    I will be setting up a race on Wednesday from around 9PM. We will continue on with the Clio's as most have one. If you don't have it, it's the 2016 Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy.

    If we can't have a race tomorrow, the weekend would be great, something like we had last Sunday.

    Hopefully we will have more drivers on the grid too.

    And I’ll always double check that my ABS is on before a race from now on! 😂

    Some fun races anyway, that track with a few more of us on would be carnage I’d say.

    I see karts are 10,000 credits. (I bought ten of them last night to pop a trophy) .

    Perhaps we can race them sometime at a short track.

    Bought one last night and tried it on Brands Hatch - much faster than my Clio anyway, great fun they are.

    Lake Maggoria has a couple of new layouts with new pit lanes that look like they were built for karting.

    This too shall pass.
