Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/), 2.1 patch from here (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/) and enable terrain patch.
(4) P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function. You may go as fast as you like in the pits, but please exercise caution. Penalties will be handed out for causing contact in the pit lane. Use your best judgement when making your pitstop during the race.

Weather
A weather site will be consulted on the Sunday afternoon before the race and if rain is forecast for the race location then expect a wet weather race. Rain will be set at 80% for heavy rain, 60% for moderate rain and 40% for light rain.

Three weeks of holidays  ;D

Will miss some of the Thursday's events  :( due to prolonged weekends near the Nordschleife  :)

CU guys

Looks great, have a good'n  :balloon:

Gonna have to skip this one, I'm afraid. I'm away all week due to my word.

Stig

Eeek!

I'm home alone!

im away for this as well  :(  sunning myself in Seville  8)

Hmmm....

Might be some good points available from these gutless wonders after all.  (That's the Minis not their drivers.)

WOT!  No server?

When I checked late this afternoon the server was down.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the server had been shut down. Picnic was able to reboot it and it is now running OK.

Thanks Tony and Picnic.


And for those who like these gutless wonders, have you noticed that Quicksilver is proposing to run a Fiesta series in GTR2 on Wednesdays?


As for tonight, what's the prediction for pole?  If Ade turns up I would guess at a 0:58 something.

eek, I can't get faster than 1:04  :-[

Haven't had a go yet Clive, Ill be on track around 7.30 ish.

                                    See you later,Cheers Ade

Congrats with the great result Bill!  :rockon:

Good fun that ;D got a wheel on the grass early on after druids lost it and stalled the engine, lost 2 places.
Think I should have took a full gear box :-\ only ran with three gears.

                                                     Cheers Ade

Fantastic race with Marco and Ade - we should have more wet races in Minis!  ;D
Shame I put a wheel on the grass while arguing over 2nd with Ade, we could have kept that battle going to the finish I suspect...

Yes.  Please organise a complete season of Mini races in the wet so that I can find something else to do!

I had a good battle with Solmyr but driving the Mini is totally unrewarding.  I was bored after one practice session and as a result I wandered off to find something else to do for the week.  As a result I had completely missed the fact that Tony was going to add some "light" rain.

Ade and Tim were miles faster than anything that I could manage and likely to remain so in the foreseeable future.

Grats Ade, Tim and Marco. 

Thought that the race was good fun. Had a great start and after the first few laps the lead bunch were disappearing into the distance and I had a gaggle of cars behind me. Thought I'd made enough of a lead to keep the 1250cc boys behind me but as my tyres went off I started to slow and my lap times dropped. Still thought I could finish ahead of the three behind me but it was not to be. Well done Bill, good to see you take the flag.

Could be your setup Clive - I use one based on one I was given a year or so back as I couldn't get my head around mini's.
I can send it to you if you like  :)

Yes Please Tim.

The one that I have I think came from Manteos when we did Cadwell.

I'm still unable to set and drive this little beast.

Some fun though, being under the pressure of Clive, who finally put me in 5th position.

Congrats to all drivers.

Thanks Tony - frustrating night.  Pleased with new PBs all round but too tired to concentrate - too many unforced errors. Thought I should have done much better with the 1275 car but just couldn't hang the laps together - each time I closed the gap and got within striking distance I'd run wide and have to start all over again. Minimal practice, know track and car but spent morning doing house work, getting things together for the off Friday, preparing for afternoon visitors - didn't know when to leave.  We only returned this afternoon, off again in about 10 days for 8 days coach tour around Scotland.
