Is driving with BRM as hopeless project as it feels (maximum realism,
hardest level). What kind of laptimes I am
expected to reach with BRM for example in Kyalami or Monaco? Does the
optimal setup help enough to close
the cap for Lotuses etc...

BRM at Monaco? Phew! My PB at that is <cough> 1:37.8, compared with
1:30.7 (still pretty poor) in the Ferrari. Kyalami's not so bad, but
still 2-3 seconds off the "big 3" times (Lotus, Eagle, Ferrari). To be
honest, I've barely driven the BRM since the spec races at Milano
(which were great fun) disappeared off VROC.

In my opinion, the ONLY reasons to drive that p.o.s. known as the BRM are
1)working on your MonsterRank, or 2)being forced to drive it in your league...

    You should try it again.  I've never broken 1:30 in any car, but have a
1:31.5 in the BRM.

Or
3) Driving it in your league by choice. I'm having great fun scaring the
hell out of a few Ferrari and Eagle drivers in the GPVL this season. Shame
about the speed because the BRM is a great handling babe once the beast is
tamed.

My PB with the BRM at Monaco is only 1:39.7 - ugh.  I just can't get that pig
around a lap quickly.  The spec races you mentioned - SpeedCenter?

Could be - can't remember. For all I know they're still going - they're
just never around when I look!
