For the last week I have been onjoying the online racing but tonight I logged in and I find that the BMW 320 is no longer on the server.

This was a great car and seemed to be quite popular but not as fast as the CSL but certainly easier to handle.

Someone online tonight said it was removed because it was too fast!!! Than what? The MINI?? There is a lot faster cars on there than the BMW 320.

Trouble is not knowing what cars are available as this one still shows under the OUT CARS link on this website.

What gives guys? It shows up in the CARS available when you go online.

Hi Dave,

maybe it's only a mistake ?

But you can still drive the 320 on server 3 and 5 ...

Cheers,
Ufo

Could. Pity as Server 1 is always the busiest for me out here in the Far East because of the time difference. The other servers for me don't have many racers online when I am, except the weekends.

Cheers

The csl is not faster and if you want to check see all the track and make a decision which is faster. And other thing its an addon car.And be patient, like Ufo sad: maybe it's only a mistake.And there where a lot of good cars you able to drive...

*cough* the only car on the Bude, which is faster than the 320 ist the 935....
A good driver is at least 1sec/lap faster than any other car. Just take a look at the fastest laptimes on the different tracks...

However - I think, the removal was a mistake, too and we'll be able to race the 320 on Server 1 again, soon.

Let the figures speak for themselves - tested on the Musanne Straight, Le Mans:

BMW E21 320: Power to Weight Ratio: 155 - Horse Power: 299
Speed: 158 - Weight: 1936

BMW CSL (Heavy): Power to Weight Ratio: 156 - Horse Power: 430
Speed: 165 - Weight: 2750

BMW CSL (Light): Power to Weight Ratio: 130 - Horse Power: 337
Speed: 160 - Weight: 2596

Chevy Corvette 76(1): Power to Weight Ratio: 186 - Horse Power: 569
Speed: 178 - Weight: 3058

Chevy Corvette 76(2): Power to Weight Ratio: 152 - Horse Power: 451 - Speed: 167 - Weight: 2970

DeTomaso Pantera: Power to Weight Ratio: 166 - Horse Power: 474 - Speed: 179 - Weight: 2860

Ford Capri RS: Power to Weight Ratio: 164 - Horse Power: 405
Speed: 169 - Weight: 2464

Ford Escort RS: Power to Weight Ratio: 145 - Horse Power: 284
Speed: 161 - Weight: 1958

Porsche 906: Power to Weight Ratio: 146 - Horse Power: 219
Speed: 168 - Weight: 1496

Porsche 911: Power to Weight Ratio: 144 - Horse Power: 320
Speed: 168 - Weight: 2222

Porsche 914-6: Power to Weight Ratio: 122 - Horse Power: 250
Speed: 155 - Weight: 2046

Now then! Make your own minds up as to how well the BMW E21 320 does actually fit in to GTL. Check the speeds out for yourself if you don't believe me.

Cheers and stop all this whingeing about the car and just drive it.

What gives with Server #1?

I tried to select the Toyata Corolla and it says not on the server. Seems all the mod cars have been removed!

I know you guys don't like the modded cars and complained before if they are not good quality but from what I read on the forum is that the Toyota and the BMW E21 where both Team 21 cars which you accepted as valid cars.

Sorry but I just want to understand what is what in here. I am still new to the Bude and I am enjoying the racing, I just find it strange to use the car one day and the next it is gone.

Cheers all
Dave...

Hi Dave,

as I understand, all the "Bude" released "Mods" (Cars or Tracks) are available on Server 5 or 3 only (!?), because they should not disturb the ranking list for Server 1 (!?).

Hey "Admins", please clarify!


Regards,
Holger

Thanks Holger, that would kind of make sense. I have however noticed that the BMW has returned to server #1.

I have been enjoying the delights of Server #5 and the new Nissan GTR whilst I waited for the return of the BMW :o)

I think, if the Skyline was tested and updated to work perfect online, we put it on the other Servers, especially Server 1. Because the car fits perfect in the other GTL cars.

The only mod we are not using on Server 1 is the Porsche 935, because of the high diffuculty level and and the high speed it can reach.

cheers

AddOns doesn't make any sense on Server1 since Addon cars won't be reported correctly (using the 32bit car mask) by GTL's dedi, so they can't be used for the Ranking.

Since therer were so much complains
about the some faboulus laps in 320, 935 and so that don't appear in the ranking I decided to remove the AddOn's from server1 as discussed in the past allready.

Any other server except Server#1 it's OK to use AddOn's since they won't be used for the ranking...

But take care! These MODs must be removed for event races on the mentioned servers, otherwise I fear some funny guys will join our dwarf pushings with Skylins!


cheers,
Uwe

Ok Uwe,
that is a thing, I didn´t realised. Sorry for my missunderstanding.
But it doesn´t matter. Sever 3 and 5 are as good as server 1.
And who cares about the ranking

Exactly - who cares about ranking! This is why I think the 320 should return to server 1. It fits in there well, and I didn't hear any complains about it. But maybe I wasn't racing enough lately

But I drive for fun, and not for the ranking list, and usually, the most drivers are on server 1...
