You might have just seen the available cars & thought "That's an odd line up"... and you'd be right.
We've not done one like this before, it's going to be a bit of a 'tortoise & hare' type race.... but where the fastest Alpine+Mustang finish together (I hope).
Please pay extra attention to the race details for this one.

Very odd!
I thought this was a one make spec race series?
Much less time consuming if you just pick one chassis for us all to use Chris.
I expected the Lightweight E-Types to be honest. 'Cos they come in lots of different colours.

Where did you get that idea? Shot's come in singles & doubles. Hence it's called "the shot glass challenge". If it was single spec racing, I'd have called it the "spec challenge" or smething.

Ah!
Now you come to mention it I do remember something about singles and doubles. Sounds like a lot of work for you though.
Be careful you don't end up with a mickey finn!

Sounds like a really fun and cool race this one. I hope so PR, don't think we've tried something like this before... Hopefully it'll work but we won't know till we try. Effectively, if you choose the Stang you'll be quicker each lap but you will need to pit. The Alpine has no need to pit (though the Tyres will be shot by the end), so will effectively get left behind before taking the lead & hoping to cling on for long enough before the Mustang can catch up again!

Which means that will be a good challenge and a matter of strategy choice. I like it, I like it!!!!!!

Tyre wear: 2x Fuel consumption: 2x
Anyone would think I forgot to add this bit to the race announcement Yup, that's why the Mustang needs to pit.

Sounds like this could be a great Team event - especially if there is a spread of ability in each Team (maybe based on last seasons Token ability ratings).
Because of the need for a pit stop I prefer to drive the Mustang as it will give me a chance to take on some oxygen. So if you decide to allocate people to Teams, Legzy, please keep this in mind. Although I thoroughly enjoyed last nights race, 45 minutes non stop pushed me to the limit.

No idea how much fun this will be but look forward to finding out. Anybody done a race length test of both yet? Sounds like this could be a great Team event - especially if there is a spread of ability in each Team (maybe based on last seasons Token ability ratings).
That kind of event would be a blast I guess. I remember we did a similar two/three man team thing at Lemans, were we held some races and then added times of team mates together which worked well. Good bit of fun

I'm quicker in the Alpine than the stang which I suppose is to be expected. Might have to stop to redo my lippy though
