Nice pics - looks like you had a good day. And you also have a much better talent for finding nieces than I have

Hey, guys.
Here is a list of my cars, all GT2, all ALMS competitors, or were (I included the Panoz for old time's sake. The Panoz hasn't competed in ALMS in the last two seasons. Go figure, Doc owns Mosport, literally, as well as Road Atlanta and others. The Dodge didn't enter this year, so sad). I was hoping for a Corvette, but FM3 has last year's ALMS 'vette in R2. One of the R3 'vettes runs in World Challenge in North America (I've seen the Whelen team in action) but I'm keeping my paddock purely ALMS.

2009   BMW Motorsport   #92 Rahal Letterman Racing M3 GT2
2008   Dodge   #11 Primetime Racing Group Viper Competition Coupe
2008   Ferrari   #71 Tafel Racing F430GT
2009   Ford   #40 Robertson Racing Ford GT Mk7
2010   Jaguar   #33 Jaguar RSR XKR GT
2006   Panoz   #81 Team LNT Panoz Esperante GTLM
2008   Porsche   #45 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR

I started with the Ford GT, 'cause Blooze commented on meeting the team principals. I kind of have it dialed in. Liking the handling. I am running in the Private Races. Only thing I don't like, after setting the PI parameters to >= 750 and < 801, the only competition I get in the AI are a freight trane of Ferrari FXX's.
Is there a way to mix up the AI for variety sake?
Cheers!
Here's another look at my first ride...

Speak ob d debil...  I was just this moment working on my GT2 sheet!

Instead of messing with the Pi values, set the Body Style to GT2.  That should do it for you.

There is an interesting "Bull Durham" flavor to this project.  Let's face it, for the most part, these cars are not competitive at the R3 Leaderboard level.  That is why the subclasses, like the minor leagues.  With old timers and kids, all hoping to make it to the Show. 

The Show, it is referenced in reverent tones... The Show...

You don't have to carry your luggage in, the Show...

The Subclasses - (I have two now, R3 GT3 and R3 GT2, each with seven cars and they are quite competitive amongst themselves.  But everybody is rooting for a ticket on the Show, a leaderboard time.  If you can get enough of them, you may get pulled and sent up to run on the Main Leaderboard - The Show. 

The RS 6 Audi ran a personal best on Road Atlanta the other day.  Just by .030, but it is the fastest right now, by gumm... It was fun, it was David knocking Goliath on his ass.  Now they all think they have a shot at the Big Board, and they are busting their butts.

If I remember right, you can choose which car each AI drives. I think if you highlight a specific AI driver (just like you would to put them in a separate group for a race), there is an option to choose car.

Thanks for that tip Spiny. Sorry for not getting back sooner, but I've been busy laying boards. That is, floor boards. Star Trek...Beem me a board, Scotty.
God, my back is killing me. Anyway, when I get back into the game, I'll give that a try. Thanks, and...
Cheers!
