The tokens system is actually a chassis levelling system, not a form of handicapping. So to introduce a form of handicapping into the 1955 Grand Prix series, drivers who are classed as "Privateers" will be given additional tokens. This will take the form of 10 additional tokens at the start of the season. However a "Privateer" driver who fails to start any of the first 5 races will only be eligible for an additional allocation of 5 tokens (rather than 10). "Privateer" status will be declared by the divisional moderator at the start of the season. Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 incidents do carry an extra 1 place penalty. The races will be run under Pro rules so no shift-Rs are allowed. Only reported incidents will be moderated. If you would like to enter this series please submit an entry in the poll.

I think that Phil is trying to defeat me with the track list. I'm assuming that, when there are so many good tracks available, Phil has a good reason for lumbering us with Watkins Glen 1948?

I can't make it too easy for you Clive, anyway I'm only trying to take into account suggestions made at the end of season review. There isn't any point asking for feedback if we don't listen to it.

From my point of view putting some cash in the suggestions box was £10 quid well spent

LOL
I must take a look at the feedback to see who suggested using joke tracks!
EDIT: Ah, I see. It came from maddog, who also admits that he will only do three rounds so that he doesn't run out of tokens.

Hi Phil, there appears to be a little confusion regarding the track files for WG48. I assume it's v2 that we need. Is there any chance of your running the server with this nightmare on it so that I can check that I have the correct version. And is there anything to stop the trees looking so horrible in close up? I don't mean when I have hit them, just when driving beneath them the leaves seem to have a halo on them.

Don't worry Clive, it wasn't until the 2nd or 3rd year they closed this street version of The Glen, due to fatalities. There are several addons available. I have Glendirt, Glen Summer, and a special 16bit Hirez trees version made for worried drivers to climb into. I may have grabbed these at SRMZ, dated 2005. If NLA, I could post what's required to a Moderator.

Watkins 1948 directory and link corrected. These should be the same ones Martin has. We are not using the dirt track version, we are using the the standard layout we used a few seasons ago. See here. I don't think it matters which zip file you extract (i.e. the watkin48.zip or glen1948_16bit_hires.zip), they are just hi-res and low-res versions of the same track. The railway crossing will be tricky in the 55s
