AMS2 Corvette vs BMW@ Ibarra, Wednesday April 13 th

[Guido Trampe]

2002 Turbo was BMW's first and one of the first turbocharged production cars in general. It's based on the 02 series's regular 2.0L engine with an added KK&K turbo and Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. It's a rare car: only 1,672 units were ever produced. It's future was doomed due to the oil crisis following its launch as demand for performance cars crashed.

The regular 2002 model already produced 128 hp. Forced induction through turbocharging increased power to 168 hp with 240Nm of torque. This is an otherwise modest figure, but it's driving a chassis around only 1000kg. To put it into perspective, this power to weight ratio is similar to a modern day Golf GTI.

As usual with most BMWs performance cars, the 2002 is a comfortable everyday car that seats four. It's also considered the Holy Grail of BMWs.

The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) is a sports car that was produced from 1967 until 1982 by Chevrolet for the 1968 to 1982 model years. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the previous generation, but the body and interior were new. It set new sales records with 53,807 produced for the 1979 model year.[4] The C3 is the third generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, and marks the second time the Corvette would carry the Stingray name, though only for the 1969 - 1976 model years. This time it was a single word as opposed to Sting Ray as used for the 1963 - 1967 C2 generation. The name would then be retired until 2014 when it returned with the release of the C7.

[nepal roade]

sounds like a good combo, I've had a few good races using this class at Ibarra just after Reiza fixed the transmission train and the diffs. Include me please.

Hey, thanks for tag, great combo but I'm not at home this week.... Have fun boys

 

[Redvaliant]

Not sure I can make it, but put me down as a possible. These are two of the best cars in the whole game IMO, we had a great race with these @ Guapore. I am doing modern GTEs this week, but next week it'll be the other, more brutal Corvette and the RSR Porsche.

 

[Guido Trampe]

Your in Daniel. Agree on the cars. They are big fun. Had many good and close races with them allready. Also like that the can tae a hit without you being warped to Mars immediatly after.

Welcome. I added you to the list

 

[max1966i]

Guido, I'm in...

 

[Guido Trampe]

Nice Malcom. I will add you to the list

 

[Guido Trampe]

Hi guys. I will postpone this race to next week. Looking for a bit more drivers on the Grid. Please join me in trying to fill this grid.

 

[Guido Trampe]

I will be starting an open lobby server tonight though. Same cars / track

Ah, I like that! I just realised it’s Wednesday today and that I wanted to maybe jump into the race spontaneously after I come home from work, but I totally forgot about that

 

[Guido Trampe]

No worries. It will be live next week. Can I sign you up?

 

[Reiche]

Yes

 

[Guido Trampe]

Open for Sign in fellow simracers. Come and give us a try!

 

[Guido Trampe]

Hi guys. Thanks for siging up allready. As you probably know, this weekend the F1 2022 car was released for AMS2. It has been a great fun to drive. Would you be happy if I switched this weeks event to a F1 2022 event and drive this great car? Let me know in the comments please.

 

[nepal roade]

I would definitely withdraw if it gets changed as I don't really like the Formula cars and can't drive them either.

Not sure if I'd withdraw too or give it a try, but I have pretty similiar feelings when it comes to high downforce, high power-to-weigth-ratio cars.

 

[Guido Trampe]

Check and clear

 

[nepal roade]

Humble apologies offered here. I completely forgot about the event last night.
