After my poor showing last season Loot has invited me to consider the damage to the reputation of British engineering- but since that's hardly his strong suit and the weaponmaster hasn't effected a noticeable improvement in his fencing skills, it'll be the P261 again.
Unless the requirements of the competition entail otherwise, that is- while we'd prefer drivers to race for their teams, Hristo is a little quick for the RA272 under the current format, and the same imperatives apply to the back of the grid.
Hezemans, if you're still learning then the Novices is probably a better option. We run practice servers before the 65 races, which should help decide- the Amateurs is pro racing though (no resets), and the Novices int.

Yes, Dave, I realize that and also didn't notice that we have to specify our prefered chassis, but since the aim is to get a balanced field I'm leaving it to the moderators. I suppose my choice lies between Cooper and BT7 anyway. Just don't give someone fast much better chassis please... |

I'm slower than you - you know it, I know it, everybody here knows it! On that subject, I've been practicing with the BT11 to re-acquaint myself with it (it was the first car I tried with the 65 mod, then I saw the BRM light), and I like the way it handles - solid, if unspectacular. |

I presume I should be in the Am Drams but I saw the Novices and, like a numpty, voted there as well. I blame over excitement as I'm rather looking forward to S17.
Prolly be in the Brm Brm again please.

Hezemans, the Novices might not have many P261s, so you could use one of your preferred chassis instead. You can compare your laptimes with last season's races here: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=193&theme=6 Click on the flag for the Spa report. You'd be more competitive on the Novices grid. You can also navigate to last seasons races by using the UKGPL Races link, then there's links to the various series at top middle. The 65s were 'S16n'. |

Last season I picked a Cooper but I struggled a lot in the midfield, I'd be glad to drive a BT11 this season.

Thanks Hristo. I'd also like a couple of Coopers, is there anyone that could manage the T77 for a season? The Coopers were chassis champions last season...

looks like I might have to follow the No 1 Waza driver? and take a Wazooper too. We fully understand that the round eye teams cannot contemplate battle against the superior Nippon machine . |

You have probably already though about this but, if interest is such that you get over subscribed in amateurs I don't mind running a slower car in Novice if it evens the grid numbers out in both divisions. Although my preference for my own improvement would be am's.

That's a kind offer Steve and one which I would prefer not to take you up on as you have been "brave" enough to make the move up of your own accord (with some barracking from Geoff). However, with 17 registered so far for Amateurs and 12 for Novices it may be that it will be for the best if you do move back down. No decision yet though but we'll decide early this week. |
