Some more USGT goodness...

I'm not a Porschephile, but this thing just looks the business. Many apologies for the body posts. Chassis isn't finished yet.


We run these overseas in the Kleinkram series as a Porsche Cup! Handle nice and neutral!

Good to know. That's my parking lot TA-07PRO. Neutral is best for me there.

Back in 2010 when I entered racing in RCGT...that was the body I ran exactly as you have it. Two years ago I ran it in USGT in Baby Blue with the same livery. I later handed it down to my son to run in novice.

I have 1 unpainted still, been pondering what colour to paint it.

Im presently running the newer Mercedes AMG GT3.. Blue and Silver.. it’s a sexy beast.. they also now have a light weight version

I like the livery on the grey car more than the Petronas car. Looks sinister. I'd paint it Black or something, really make those yellow stripes stand out.

They’re two different cars as well.

Easy solution, rule makers just need to do a clean slate approach with a 1 year notice. Rules that are clear, concise and if the goal is scale, then clearly state what is and isn't allowed. No grey areas, fact based.

Doesn't have to be complicated but does have to be very clear what the mission statement is about. Right now the rules have 1 foot in the scale camp and the other in the "fast as possible, bend the rules" camp.

If the goal is slower, even racing, then the new motor rule is a step in the right direction. If that is in fact the goal, revising the body list for scale and raising the min at might steer this vs in that direction.

If the goal is a TC 2.0 stock class, then get rid of the motor spec and let it devolve as it was going that way anyway.

Oh and that AMG GT3 is 100% on point for the sport of the class, go back and read page 1 of this thread. Killer looking GT car!

Rules are good. Just ban the Zoodiac, Pzero, and Venom bodies.

I can't get on the scale liveries only train, until hobby shops start carrying scale decal sets. I'm not ordering decals from albania or china.
