Title: UKGTR Season 19 shedule and format Post by: H@L9000 on January 08, 2014, 09:42:20 PM +0000 This is the plan for season 19:
GTC (lower) and GT1 (upper) cars. 40 minute races with x2 fuel and x2 tyres. Charade Jan 19 GTC Jan 26 SGT Algarve Feb 2 GTC Feb 9 SGT Monza Feb 16 GTC Feb 23 SGT Portrero Mar 2 Mar 9 Sebring Mar 16 Mar 23 Silverstone 2011 Mar 30 Apr 6 Our car pack is balanced for 80 minute races so it would be better to use x2 fuel and x2 tyres. This does mean that pit stops will be required. Balancing the cars again would require a lot of work. I think 80 minutes races are a bit too long without full servers. The super GT cars are also balanced for 60-80 minutes races I believe. The Super GT cars still require a little checking/testing before I can say that we will definitely be using them but we can change to GT1 if any issues do arise. Does this sound good to you racers? EDIT: The Upper Sprint races will be GT1 class. Title: Re: UKGTR Season 19 shedule and format Post by: Truetom on January 08, 2014, 11:28:37 PM +0000 Was warming up for GT2, but ok with me. :)

We should test and run one of the modern GT car sets on offer like the GT3 and GT1 class of cars I linked too a while back. That would attract new drivers and interest as well, like the Blancpain Endurance series :) I would happily do some promo banners for No-grip like I did for P&G that proved successful in bolstering numbers this season.
Other than that I may turn up for the odd GTC round but got no interest in the SGT cars :-\ Title: Re: UKGTR Season 19 shedule and format Post by: Truetom on January 09, 2014, 02:18:40 PM +0000 I don't really expect a patch in the fading lights for GTR2, MJ. Would like to, but who would do it? I don't know how and, frankly, just want to have a race once in a while with the people I know and maybe some new who know how to behave on track.

But in the meantime the list above looks good and it will be nice to race the SGT's again. P.S. is 'Algarve' the portimao circuit?

It appears to be GTC's at Charade, hope nobody else has missed it & there fore miss the start of the season Title: Re: UKGTR Season 19 shedule and format Post by: H@L9000 on January 17, 2014, 06:23:59 PM +0000 Thanks Legzy.

1st post updated. Sorry guys, it will have to be GT1 for the upper sprint races. I have not had much spare time for the required testing/checking recently. :( |
