I wasn't going to do Reims, so I haven't practised at all for this. hmmm, will have to take a Ferrari for a practice and see what happens. I may have to miss this if I can't get any practice time and I'll run the D1 race instead.

Come on guys, whats this all about. I've not done much practice but what I have done was at Reims, not Rouen. You can't change races this late surely. Kruger, Clive G and me were just chatting about the next race on Thursday night and they both thought it was Reims too.
Why the change anyway???

I'd like to bet you actually get people turning up tonight still thinking it's Reims. You couldn't get two more contrasting circuits to swap. Eventhough we all know Rouen as it is an original it still takes some time to re-familiarise. Reims on the other hand only has two proper corners.

The problem we have is that there isn't enough data for Reims for the pit stop handicapping. Apologies for the last minute change - if I hadn't been away last week, the announcement would have been made some time ago.

I was just about to engage some practice in Reims and then noticed the announcement. I imagine some people may not have been so lucky so we can expect some grumbling tonight

Or just don't allow drivers a car choice then pitstops aren't relevant.

Hmm, well, most folk will know Rouen quite well, so I'm not sure if we have to resort to a non-Champ race. Let's see what folk say tonight - if there's very strong feeling against it, we can do something else, although I'd prefer to go ahead with a race at Rouen.

The only way it affects me is that, since I am running GPL more for fun, I was going to give the add-on tracks a miss. Since Reims was planned, I planned to enter the GTR race tonight anyway.

We never planned to run a masters race at Reims. Please look at the track list on the original registration post here. It was always planned to run Rouen not Reims. When I entered the data into LM2 I was sure I selected Rouen but it looks like I made a mistake. However, the database in LM2 isn't read only so it is quite possible someone changed it by mistake when they were browsing it. Anyway that's all irrelevant, what is done is done. All we can do now is run the race at Rouen tonight, if there are lots of complaints Steven can decide to rerun the round later in the year and treat tonight as a fun race.

So was it lack of data or a mistake in the list? Only winding you up guys, it's all just for fun anyway.
