The race will be in English light drizzle.
The event will be held on the shorter International circuit.
The full time list will be published as soon as practical after the registraion poll closes. We are hopeful that the server can be run in 32-slot form to allow as many drivers as possible to compete.
The race will be done on a distance basis as the track has an incorrect distance setting. Future events will revert to 40 minute timed format.

Morgan for me, so much fun . Tried some laps online (dunno which wet percentage it uses, probably 20%) and did a 1:25.4 or something. Used hard wets, but it's a hard choice between hards and inters.

I got down into the 1.24's in the mosler with the inters. I tried soft wets but they just overheated, i'll have a go with the hards.
I don't tend to run in the rain so its taking time to just get used to it.
****Blatent lie alert******
Oops i was actually doing 1.27s in the wet. Cant beleive you guys are only a second off my dry time! balls!

This one looks hard on tyres for me... I think I will be on slicks. Time wise iam not far off Ruskus with race fuel but the tyres wont go the distance.

I'm showing up as Full Time, but I voted for Reserve status.
I don't want to take anyone else's FT spot if there were more that wanted one as I'm happy to be Reserve for this series, but if there aren't any more requesting FT then may as well leave it as is.

Actually scrub that, I just realised I would like to drive the Vertigo in this series as I'm doing GT1 in the Upper Endurance.

Hmm, so other than you and your team mates how will the rest of us know what the weathers likely to be and when? or are you saying we need to do wet and dry practises for all sprint rounds from now on? Busy people like my good self arent exactly blessed with loads of spare practise time so halving the prep once more is really going to hurt :'(
