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.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: Rolling start procedure will be implemented for this race. See below for details.

1) When qualifying ends drivers will join the grid as usual, before the timer countdown ends.

2) At the green light the pole position driver (lead driver) will be responsible for moving off at a slow pace.

3) The remaining drivers will follow the driver in front of them forming a single line formation.

4) The lead driver will increase speed as soon as it is safe to do so. The following drivers will match the speed of the car in front of them, whilst keeping a safe distance between them.

5) The lead driver will maintain slow/average speed for the duration of the lap until approaching the final corner when he will engage the speed limiter.

6) The lead driver will maintain limiter speed (limiter may be switched off) until the start line is reached. Having crossed the start line the lead car will begin race speed.

7) Following drivers may not exceed limiter speed (lead drivers speed) or attempt any overtaking until the start line is crossed.

you cannot be serious!!!

Just watched that video and the very thought of driving these beasts has required that I double my medication!!! For me, this looks like my worst nightmare.

Slick tyres and loads of grip, enormous amounts of power and far too fast. The human brain is not meant to work that quickly!, and how am I meant to take a drink between corners at that speed?

This sounds promising.. 

Tony: Are those 'Moby Dick' Porsches seen in the video available for GTL ? - if so, might be interesting giving them a run in a future series  (The one in front of the Capri, damn that thing moves..  )

Great! - Clive will be delighted

You're worrying prematurely Clive 

I tried the two weakest cars yesterday (Div 2 '79 & '80), and they're absolute pussycats to drive. Just point them where you want to go and they do so, without any fuss or drama. Did 10+ laps in each and spun ONE time. You have to be deliberatedly stupid or make a suicide setup to unstick these     Div 1 car may be a different matter, but these two shouldn't be a problem.  Biggest worry is the brutal tyre wear conditions Tony have specified   #1 priority probably will be to preserve your tyres.

Track is very nice and seemingly perfect for these cars - great choice Tony!

IMPORTANT

Fuel and tyre wear reduced.

EDIT:Laps reduced to 26

Tony, fuel consumption is back at 2x and thus not reduced

I can confirm this  - starting seems to be a razor sharp line between out-of-control wheelspin or total bog down.  With a little bit of tyre wear, it will do power slides in 3rd, so caution recommended     Looking after the tyres will be tricky - off boost there's practically no power, and on boost, tyre preservation doesn't seem its highest priority... 

Any laptimes Geoff ?
