Since the arrival of P & G its not been dull in the UKGTL offices
Its rather put a spanner in our works but it has so much potential that it can not be dismissed, as yet anyways. Therefore, after much discussion, we have come up with the following plan.
As more testing is required before we can use P & G for any league races, we will continue testing it but these tests will take place on Mondays. We will use these tests to try out add on tracks (a must really), any mods (?) and to assess which cars match up nicely. Without past races and a "rank" to fall back on the latter will probably take a fair amount of time but its vital we get it right of course.
A schedule for a GTL Season was finalised before the arrival of P & G and we think its sensible to proceed with this while P & G testing continues, so S7 using GTL will begin on a Thursday in a couple of weeks. However, to allow us the opportunity to change things if for any reason we decide too, this season will initially be shorter than normal, say six races. Also, with the possibility of a shorter season, the Enduro and Sprint races will fall under one championships. Its seems silly to have an Enduro champs when it may only run for three races ( I am only aware of one member, sorry Steve :'(, that does one but not the other). We will of course let you know as soon as we know if the GTL season will be extended.
What we really want to avoid is the "splitting" of what has become a friendly, welcoming and competitive group of "historic racers". Therefore I would ask that you all prioritise the Championship races, i.e. GTL, over the testing so that we keep the fun to a maximum. I think its fair to say that its the gents you race that make it fun, the sim we use is of secondary importance
