Featured Multiplayer - Mid-Engine Series (S Class) - Share your Builds!

Just had a great race at MV in the GMA, P10 to P1. The lead car lost it on the last turn and went almost sideways across the line and I just pipped them to P1.


You can see my car in the distance on the 1st pic. Must have been a controller/wheel smashing moment for the Ferrari driver!?

Some of the no-pitting-needed wins I’ve had so far in this week’s S-class mid-engine playlist driving the '98 MB AMG CLK GTR with stock (street) tires, race weight reduction, race transmission, race differential, race front bumper/aero, race rear wing/aero, race rear bumper, & OZ Superleggera III Forged wheels:

…I sometimes get passed early by cars on race tires, but when they pit or slide off track after their tires wear, I go on to win.

Couple more tracks with some lap times for comparison, i don’t remember if that Hockenheim time was as good as it can be or not though but the other ones iirc felt good :slight_smile:

The Road Atlanta time looks very strong. The others look very competitive as well. Clearly a good all-round choice for this week.

Probably my turn to create a thread, so I’ll do the R class one tonight unless anyone beats me to it. Haven’t yet built any cars for it though, so will need to do some testing. I’m guessing the GT1 and F1 GT will be more dominant than at S.

Some of them were racing in the C-A-R multiclass series and I have to say these two were leaving EVERYTHING including their own class in the dust. So I think that’s a safe bet.

Will R class be stock/street tyres or will pit stops on race tyres be inevitable do we think?

The GMA scales up nicely to it’s native R class but will it be competitive? Hmm.

Thanks for sharing your GMA T.50 build+tune here, Snooty. :+1:
It’s fast & its stock/street tires easily last the entire medium-length (~16-minute) race.
I haven’t seen anyone else driving it in any of the S-class mid-engine lobbies I’ve been in all week.

Should be VERY strong in R. It’s very strong in R without having a mid-engine or medium length prerequisite. Race tires are not “technically” a mandate as you’ve got things like you’ve seen in S class already (F1 GT, 911 Strassen, R390 etc) that should be able to last on streets or even on sport tires due to their lightness.

You’re welcome :slight_smile: I’ve seen one or two odd ones out there using it excluding racing with friends that were trying the car out, shocked it didn’t get as much use as the heavy hitting choices.

I suspect street tyres (sports if they can last) will remain dominant. There will presumably be a lot of people trying to make race tyres work on the GT1 and F1GT though, so will be interesting to see the different tactics. Somewhere like Watkins had a fairly short pitstop so that might be more viable for race tyres than some of the others.

Sounds promising. I ran some test laps at Cat Nat on stock tyres @R900 it was lively but not unmanageable. Couldn’t match it’s time in the Ultima even on hard racing tyres.

1.11.5 or 3 I think it was. (For comparison)
