(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules especially the rules about in-game chat messages. (3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here, 2.1 patch from here and enable terrain patch. (4) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page(5) Drivers are reminded that they must select ISDN as their bandwidth, otherwise the stability of every-one's connection will be reduced.(6) Remember that P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function, but our gentleman's agreement is that everyone will stick to a speed limit for the pit-lane of 40mph/60kph.

We've hit bottom folks. I'm interested in this race because I don't think I've ever driven any of those cars. Even the track is new to me.

This track has bittersweet memories for me. It was my first proper GTL event as Co-Director and my track choice but the network bombed out so we had to have two short races instead of the one long one. IIRC it was Tina's, Alfa's and Facons. But it was a seriously great track. Looking forward to a return visit. Thanks Legzy

I seem to remember a cracking race here in GTL I think I drove the Falcon, and Phil drove his customary mini Well, you will probably find the cars underpowered Mike. but they work for me here, they are for me at least remarkably well matched, Just done 4 laps in each with a quick setup tweak, and did:
1:09.5 in Mini 1:09.6 in Arbarth 1:09.7 in Tina ( I assume Cortina GT?) 1:09.9 in Big Squealy
I drove in reverse order so I would be a bit quicker in Squealy.

It looks like work is likely to get in the way of my fun again. I've got a 4:00 PM EST (right around start time) meeting with clients. I thought I may be able to make a run for at least 1 championship, but it doesn't look like I'm going to get my way. Enjoy the race guys. I may practice with you at least.

Phspok has cheered my up, I'm only just over 0.2 sec off his Cortina GT time. My Abarth time is about 1 sec down and I couldn't sort out a faster conforable setup for the Mini and the Healey was hopeless. So I think I'll go with the Tina as that's the nicest drive.
Next some Yank Tank muscle.

Well let me cheer you up some more then Bill Not sure if it's track temp or just practice, but I had a few laps on line at lunch and managed 1:08.5 fairly easily in both flavours of Squealy, didn't have time to try any other cars. The Healeys are a bit odd for gears, the older ones have 4 with an unfriendly gap 2nd - 3rd, where the later ones have 6 gears and 4th 5th and 6th are very close top speed for me is identical at 111 before braking for T1 the older one seems slightly more wayward, but I think I prefer it. I don't like the PG Minis, they handle very odd to me, and are nasty compared to the GTL version which seems "normal"for a Fromt wheel drive.

I love the P&G Mini. You gotta raise the rear bar and ride height to make them slide and then use the front wheels to pull you forward. They are a hoot to drive.

Just as well cos the Mk II is not available. Agree with you on the Mini - I couldn't get the front to tuck in and drive thro' the corners. Raced the 1310 Mini here with the Antipodeans and that was brake down a cog or two and floor the throttle all the way thro' the corner. Bill

A quick run netted a mid 1.08 in the 'Tina, not tried the others yet.
