I disagree. I agree with TT, I unfortunately will be missing every-other race, but will still be attending this very exciting series that is already generating more posts per race than any other sim here

+1 How about if we drop 1 or 2 scores from the 8 (this would be in line with the real season) as I'm sure there will be a few that can't make all the races.

Probably stick with the Ferrari, unless I get time to try something else!

Let me know for definite when you've decided...if you're trying something else the Williams is worth a look. I will miss one race but if thats ok can I drive the Ferrari!? Pls!? I plan to drop the 2 lowest scores from each driver, so no problem. Looking at your times from Brno and remembering that you didn't like the Ligier at all, I've put you in Berger's fezza. You might have to put up with a few stares in the paddock if you're too quick though

That's how it works at UKGPL and it's a system that hasn't received any complaints . I love the sound of this series and will try to attend as many races as possible. May I take Nakajima's Lotus? That might excuse my ordinary performances and I'd just like to listen the the Honda engine .

How long, time wise, will these races will be?
Just at the mo, time is very short for me and my interest in 'strategy' is even less than normal.

These races will range between 40 to 50 minutes in duration except for the full length finale at Silverstone which will last around 75 minutes.
Most cars will probably benefit from one stop for tyres only....refuelling shouldn't be necessary. I'm kind to my tyres and so is the Benetton, but I lose too much time late in the race to go for a no stop. Some might be able to run softs both stints, or first stint hards and second stint softs. I think car choice, driving style and track position will determine choice. Silverstone looks like being a 2 stop.
The cars have different fuel consumptions and the in game figures are waaaay off. For those who don't use xd, shout up and I'll gladly turn a couple of laps to give a race estimate for your car.

Important Announcement
Just completed some fuel testing and pitting at Silverstone where we will be holding our full length finale.
Most of the cars are borderline for completing the race on a full tank of fuel. Some of the cars will definitely need to take on fuel to complete the 65 laps. They are....
Lotus March McLaren Williams Zakspeed
I've tested pitting in all of the cars and unfortunately the Coloni will not restart so I've decided to withdraw this from the championship (post #1 amended).
Please also remember that the Minardi was not able to restart after pitting, which has been noted before. However, the fact that it sips fuel means that it will easily go race distance without refuelling, so I've decided to keep it in.
