Title: New Year LeMans event discussion Post by: H@L9000 on December 05, 2011, 08:03:07 PM +0000 I am planning a special event for new years day (Sunday 1st Jan 2012).
My current plan is a 2 hour, mixed class race with LMP2s and GT2s with sessions starting at the following times: Practise 1 : 19.30 (UK time) Qualy: 20.00 Race: 20.30 I think we should have either a changeable weather race or a sun set race. What do members think of the specifics? Race too long? Should we just use dry weather at a virtual mid day start time instead? Discuss.

I'm up for driving an LMP2 and a late afternoon start driving into dusk would be my preference. I don't like rain or changeable weather as it just becomes too tactical for me. I also wonder if there will be enough of us available to run a dual class event. Another option...as we are already having a LeMans event in GTL, how about using one of the newly released Fuji layouts from VLM?

Yep, would prefer a day to night style race rather than wet weather. I'm happy to race either class, its going to be more of a test of endurance so am happy to drive the GT2 whether its on my own!

I did not notice that GTL race just 3 days before. Oops. I think I should stick to the LeMans track for this special event. It does not get used enough anyway. :) didnt realise the sunday would be the 1st, thats going to impact the attendance. It is a bank holiday on the Monaday after hopefully that could help a bit but, that is one of my reasons for considering a 1 hour 30 min race instead of 2 hours. LMP2s with possibility of rain is probably not a good idea thinking about it now due to the need for extra practise time and not a favoured choice it seems. Sensible. :) Title: Re: New Year LeMans event discussion Post by: Wiltshire Tony on December 07, 2011, 06:53:12 PM +0000 I won't be at home in that week :( :( Another option...as we are already having a LeMans event in GTL, how about using one of the newly released Fuji layouts from VLM?
