Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules especially the rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here, 2.1 patch from here and enable terrain patch.
(4) P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function. You may go as fast as you like in the pits, but please exercise caution. Penalties will be handed out for causing contact in the pit lane. Use your best judgement when making your pitstop during the race.

Why's that then? Have I missed something?

Just wanted to liven things up a bit

[Wiltshire Tony]

This doesn't effect the Mustang/Falcon use rules

[Clive Loynes]

Car restrictions removed

Well that's a bit off!  To put it mildly. 

You mean that I could have taken the Mustang for the past five races and gained a better result?  The Falcon Mann and Westlake are a much better bet so those who have used used up all their Mustangs don't have to struggle with that heap of a Sprint!

I know that it has been a long season but if we have a regulations structure can we not keep it in place until the finish?  What was the point of my spending time on car selection strategy? 

I'm miffed!

Apologies Clive. I clearly hadn't considered all the nuances of such a decision. My aim was to let you guys drive some full fat for the remainder of the season. I'll reverse my actions later this evening. Sorry for any miffness caused.

Despite falling victim to car choices just recently  i'd have to agree with Clive and say its too late to suddenly allow a free for all as it would demean the efforts of those who have valiantly stuck with these lumbering beasts all season.
Next time maybe make the season a bit shorter 

But got no problem with allowing tail end charlies to take the best of available class, if they can keep it on track 

[Wiltshire Tony]

Just to clarify.............

I was only offering a free choice of car, I was NOT proposing to dissolve the existing Mustang/Falcon allowance.

EDIT: Restrictions now back in place

Understood Tony, it's just that the Sprint is such a dog compared to the Mann or Westlake.  I've wrestled the rotten thing around so many places whilst others have eaten up their Mustang quota.  I feel that they should get to enjoy the tyre eating heap, like I have.  LOL

Having just looked at the car allocation page, I see that it's only likely to have any impact on MJ and Stig.

The Falcon may eat more tyre, but it also eats the Mustang on the straights, som you might be in for a surprise Clive :- ))

Stig

The restrictions are now as there were before I had my "idea" 

I hope you enjoy the remainder of this series and may the best driver win.

We already know who is going to win!

And I don't believe the Sprint is faster than the NTK either!

It has brakes but that's about all.

Hit barrier, went over barrier straight to black hole. Have a better one guys, looked like a good race too
