At Kyalami?
At Monaco? (this seems really hard).

Is there any track in which BRM would at least be competive against above
mentioned top three?
(I just like BRM...)

Nope. the only thing the BRM is good for is a boat anchor:o)

But in general it's a couple of seconds slower. But all the cars are
fast if you know how to drive them. A guy in our league is very fast in
the BRM.
My monza pb is 1.28.41 and my BRM pb is a 1.29.8x but that was a real
thrash of a lap.

In *my* hands, the BRM is at least 3-4 seconds slower at most tracks than my
fastest car.
Kyalami
Lotus 1:21.05
BRM 1:24.69
Monaco
Lotus 1:29.84
BRM 1:33.76
Spa
Lotus 3:20.08
BRM 3:27.73(blech)
I'm actually faster in the Cooper at all those tracks...
In the hands of a GOOD driver, the difference is usually only 3-4 tenths.
I still feel that the only reason for anyone to drive the POS known as the BRM
is to work on a MonsterRank...<g>

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

Yeah, there are guys in my leagues that are several seconds faster in the BRM
than I am in the Lotus... :-(

The Cooper is a wonderful car! :) Except at Monza and Spa....
Comparing it to the Tank is blasphemy :p

Pretty much anything is competitive at the Ring if you can keep it
out of the hedges... my PB there is 17 seconds slower in the BRM than
the Lotus (8:37 to 8:20), but that's not as much as it seems because
of the aforementioned hedge problems!
As for being competitive, it obviously depends on your opposition
(duh), but I can keep up with at least some of the pack at Spa (3:26)
and the Glen (1:07). Otherwise I'd rather drive the Cooper, to be
honest.

It sure doesn't help my ego any... But I can't really do anything about it
now, can I? I have a lot of admiration for guys that can get that POS around
the track so quickly. I race guys like Paul Godfrey, Paul Jackson, Keith
Alsop, Peter Burke, and Alex Tihkonov(sp?). I've seen ALL those guys dominate
in the BRM before. I just don't get it...

(But hey, us slowpokes still remember the days when we just couldn't
break 1:30 no matter WHAT or WHICH car we tried, so it could even be
worse ;)

Besides, my Ferrari time is something like 1:29.95, so I just BARELY broke
1:30. :-)
