I'd prefer the BRM, although if I have to fight Will for it, the Lotus will suit me fine. So 1) BRM, 2) Lotus If drivers could select a second chassis they don't mind taking, this will aid in the event of disputed chassis, as was suggested in the "Monza" thread. Makes the captain's job a little easier in the event of more than one person picking a car.

No worries all you BRM lovers....I'll take anything. But if I had to choose.... First choice: P261 Second: 312 I'll gladly take the Lotus if need be. Cheers, Will

I'd need a bit more time to come up with a plan, because as we're not restricted to either 2 or 3 liter cars it's much more complicated on medium speed tracks. If 3 liters are more than half a second quicker here you can expect those to be my base for the assignments but I haven't done a research yet.

I can put some effort in tomorrow for the BRMs and Lotii, with a crudely adjusted setup (if you got setups for those cars, I would much appreciate those, as a good setup can make a LOT of difference around here) to see which is definitely quicker, if any. On such a short circuit, you'd think the 2l+ cars would have an advantage, but there's 2 long straights to consider, and they're quick, so it's a tossup at the moment. Certainly not as clearcut as Monza was, or Watkins Glen could be.

Yes, even if laptimes between 2L and 3L might be similar, I'm sure a 3L is gonna have big advantage on those straights yet the 2L should be much quicker in the turns as they're so long and some are so slow too. I don't have many setups at all and most are for the slowest cars. I'm aiming to go for the McLaren as usual and spare you all the trouble of driving it, plus I have enough experience in it now and some setups too. If no other way everyone is just going to take the car they prefer and wherever there's a clash I'd let those two settle it on their own, but for the moment nothing is decided.

I used a Steve Cloyd Mexico as the starting point for my Cooper setup when we raced there in Dh.
Seemed to work out ok.

In my experience with the 66's at Albi the fastest is the 3lt brab which can do low 12's and the 2lt brabs can get into the mid-high 12's as well, the rest are not far behind. This track evens out the cars pretty well imo.

Ok guys, here's the provisional assignments I came up with. For those that wanted cars and nobody else wanted -- you got them, no problem.
Jethro prefered either BRM or Lotus and Will opted for BRM or Ferrari and Doni opted for Ferrari or Cooper, so if any of you would like to switch cars let me know. As for the moment the remaining chassis available is the Cooper (again) and we're short of a driver.
BT19...........John Roberts Lotus..........Jethro Walters BT11...........Stu Bart Honda.........Evil Clive Eagle...........Mike Beattie Ferrari..........Doni Yourth BRM.............Will Tway McLaren........Hristo Itchov
Cooper..........FREE
The choice of either 2 or 3 liter is entirely up to you but with slipstreaming and passing in mind lean towards 3L.
