At 50 mph it will take forever to do a warm up lap wouldnt it be better to do a standing start here?

That's why I put the extra start details in big red letters at the bottom of the race announcement  |

It isnt 50mph, read this... *It will be the pole sitter's responsibility to complete the first lap at a pace that allows the rest of the grid to follow comfortably |

Message to self "should read everything first before posting anything!" No worries, at least it brought attention to the start procedure although I'm sure someone will still forget about it when the lights go out. Would be good prep for all to have a quick AI race on this 24hr layout as there is a lot of trackside detail going on. My pc isn't exactly state of the art and it runs without problems here but it's worth a quick check to be sure. |

Our actual races have always started at around 20:45 here for as long as I can remember so I really don't want to change that. From October 30th us brits go back 1 hour to GMT so maybe that helps with timings? Hope you are able to make it Ant. |

We do not appear to be meeting our quarterly subscription target. Please, if you haven't donated yet please do so. Simple fact is this...........If we don't get the dosh, you won't get the racing.

Shuuld have mentioned, you can use the shortcut at the top of the GP circuit for the outlap in quali (as in RL) or you won't have time to complete a lap.
