fizzbitt Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 The Gallardo driver did a couple of risky overtaking manouvers where he shouldnt have done.. also that Black 5 series bimmer drove like a prat and didnt let the Gallardo go by... That DTM is a serious machine and i am mucho impressed by it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
330dcoupe Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 The DTM kicked his ass on that 1st traight !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
330dcoupe Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Actually, he kicked his ass full stop ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzbitt Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Without doubt... although the Gallardo was very quick in the turns, i presume the AWD helped there a lot. The comments are bloody amusing as well... have you seen em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
330dcoupe Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I don't understand why the DTM got stuck behind the Clio when he could have easily manoeuvred past it and beat the Gallardo. I can't believe how quick that merc is !!! I forgot to add. I read those comments and most of them think the Gallardo driver was super cautious. But from what i can hear, he was givin' it everything he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzbitt Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Well the only thing i can think of is that the Merc driver was not breaking the rules for overtaking on the ring. You should only overtake on the left and i presume he was waiting for the Clio to move over to enable him to do this. The Lambo driver was obviously miffed that he couldnt get close enough to take the Merc and used this oppertunity to undertake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Have a look at the Gallardo vs GT3, the Gallardo eats the GT3 up all over the place. It does sound very very nice at full chat. Off to play Test Drive Unlimited, closes I will get to drive one for a while. Nice it sounds the same in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1MAC Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 [ QUOTE ] They also do the world coolest cab! [/ QUOTE ] Think I'd have to disagree there, intensely uncool (even if the oily bits are ). Coupe all the way since all the bits & bobs look wrong on the cab (like a crash into Halzfords!, or whatever). Of course, what is the coolest cab is a whole different & dirty ball game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activa Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Feck me that Merc is quick! Jeez,I may have a had a few to drink tonight but that car is a monster without doubt. What I can't believe,looking at the stats that were posted,is that it runs a slower quarter than a Macca F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 That sounds about right. It has the same engine as the SLR (more lbs, less bhp) which does similar times. What is silly is the fact the SL65 did it in 11.2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activa Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 So the SL65 runs basically the same quarter as the F1,so it's quicker than that car at the ring? Bloody hell,the mind boggles. Well mine does at this moment in time! Didn't your Mum used to have one? Did it feel that quick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 The SL65 was a mess at the ring. It actually managed slower times than the SL55. It wasnt a terrible corner bandit, just wasnt up there with sports cars under 2 tones. It was certainly the fastest car by a long shot I have ever been in.

activa Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Well that tells me enough-the fastest car you've ever been in just about sums it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooH Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I notice that they over took a Golf GTI (I think it was a GTI) on that lap. They must have been doing a go-slow. Althought it wasn't in the fastest colour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I can't have been a Golf GTI, or it would have been quicker than the Lambo and the CLK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
