hi  folks :)

I'm IN ..... ;D

Slot me in as a reserve here, Paul.  As per my post in the Professionals Division, work schedules will dictate my participation.

Just put a late regsitration in to try 66s too this season. Like Doni, my attendance on Tuesdays will be determined by work committments

I just noticed, the 2nd round is scheduled for Le Mans, which has caused problems in the past.  Might be better to fit headlights to the cars, and switch to the night version of the track?  8)

What problems with Le Mans ? we already raced there many times without a problem.
Any examples ?

Most recent race was for GT's some time ago.  Several were disconnected.  The race report is hiding somewhere!  It is possible for a problem to affect one Mod, and not another, but best you are aware of the situation.  The track has not seen much official use.  Our Jan 3rd GT race had the sun removed, because of it's car melting nature. :-[

I have experienced mass disco's in nearly every GT event in the day version!
The night nbsarthe seems to have less problems (as I was told by the brazilian league admin Raoni) and proved stable in Jan 03.

Maybe it is only for GT's and not for 66 and 67's

The GT race was two years ago and the thread is here (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=9850.0).

Although it was clear that it was a mass disconnect it did not happen until 55+ minutes into the race. Pretty sure that the track is stable. NBSarthe is a graphics update that darkens the sky only. It is highly unlikely that there would be a stability issue caused by that.

If it does disconnect, we will mark it as a suspect track and re-run later in the season on something different. It may be worth noting that VOR are using Le Mans this Friday and successfully used it in June 2013. A race several of our drivers took part in.

As it is, if David is happy, it stays in. His call.

Appreciate it's a bit last minute, but I fancy giving the 66s a blast at Zandvoort tonight, pending there's space  :).

no problem

Any room left here , will drive (try) anything , as long as its got at least 3 wheels and a reasonably up to date MOT  :)

Hi Bernie

Nice to have you back :)

Might try and join in with Porto tonight :) if there is space.

Iestyn, only noticed this after the Porto race.  I've processed your registration so you should see the passwords from now on.  Sorry it was too late for the Porto race.

No worries Phil - I should have posted a few hours earlier when I noticed the race. Then once I installed the track, and got on igor, everyone had gone in! Oops.
