Bill, I was expecting the Elan to use under 2 litres per lap at a lap speed in the region of 1:52
Thanks Tony, I guess there are other places where I must drive it in a higher gear (found 2 yesterday and knocked off 4 secs). Alternatively perhaps I need to look at a higher final drive - any tips from Elaners who are lapping in 1:52s would be appreciated. Don't expect to get a chance for another drive till next week, so you folks have plenty of time after tonight's race.

Bill, I think your final gearing ratio has to depend on if/when your hitting the limiter at the end of that long start/finish straight
Also the fuel figure I gave in an earlier post did not take into account the fuel modifier so I would say the fuel used would be under 3 litres per lap. Plus after some driving in the Elan I'm unable to get anywhere close to the quoted 1:52's. But I expect some drivers will.

Having taken the week off work, I thought I was going to get to race gtl this week... Glad you pointed out the early start time, as there's almost no chance I can get online that early these days. The can usually join ok for the normal 8:40 start. So looks like I'm another dropout unfortunately.

That's a shame.
If no-one objects I'll change the start time to 20:40.

Welcome back Jaqen Make sure your .plr file is edited as instructed in the race announcement. This race will have a pitstop. I advise anyone who hasn't done a race pit stop to practise this. Not knowing what to do can lose many seconds and places.

Still haven't done any pracci for this, but I'll certainly be there. Know the track from a few races at the bude and love the 904 so it's an obvious choice, but won't it be a bit quick in this company?
Any laptimes to aim at?

Yes it probably will although I've been testing the TVR tonight and that's awfully quick too, although the tyre wear is a concern. My best so far is 1:55 so aliens should be doing 1:52's I would think. The cars were selected as they were the first four casualties from the ECCC.

TVR 1:50 Elan 1:51 904-6 1:51 Jag 1:53 the past shows that the 904/4 should be as fast as the Elan, so the 904/6 and maybe the TVR should be 1 or 2s faster.
