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 v3.1 from: http://www.gtlw.co.uk/ (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/)
(4) Some tracks in P&G have no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function.If so, 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.
(5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface)
Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect that.

The usual hotbed of discussion and banter here then.   ::)

Rivetting eh!

Does this mean can I retire now?

Never.

Unfortunately I cannot make this one, going away for a few days, have some good racing.

I can't make this one either, Easter holidays starts Thursday in Denmark.

I'm not terribly sorry thoug, case we raced here just 6 months ago with the same type of cars.

I realise you don't have the time to test new combos Matt, but personally I'd prefere a one car choice on a new track rather than racing the same tracks over and over again.

Have a good race guys  :fencing:

Stig

Did some laps in the TR4 (warning: Triumph fanboy here ;)) and managed some 1:00.7’s and 8’s. �

Then switched to Alfa Junior 1300 and without tweaks did some 1:01.1’s, so I bet there’s more to be shaved off.

I’m a bit afraid of the Gr5 Mini’s and Abarths though, I guess a sub 1:00 lap could be possible in the hands of the usual aliens (Italians included ;))
 
Would be awesome to see some aliens choosing the Healey, I’m quite interested to see what would happen then!

See you on track!


P.S. I quite like these British tracks, no problem for me to return to the tracks we've run before!

Well you can't please all of the people all of the time. Last year some people, umm actually at least one of them doesn't come here anymore
complained that I was using too many new tracks, and I should be using the builtin tracks more.
As I say repeatedly - Please come up with some tested suggestions, I have already run 2 of Stig's suggestions this year
perhaps others might put in some testing time to make the various series even better  :thumbup1:

How about a 'Youngtimer' event at the Nurburgring GP circuit using fast BMW's, Capris and RSR's ? That would be fun and mimic a real event. Problem with re-hashing the same races is people get a bit blasé about it. I also think that because we aren't using some of the exciting cars that came with P&G3 enough, interest has waned, evidenced by a steep decline in grid numbers lately. Just my humble opinion  :)

Another would be some fast US cars at Riverside Can-am.  60's GT class at Dijon,  GT40 race at Silverstone. Ferraris at Mugello/Monza. A1-ring with 70's GT cars.

Thanks MJ, I am not sure what exiting new cars are, but I like your suggestions. Any realistic car/track combos are always welcome.  :thumbup1:

I ran some events in the past with Capris BMWs and RSRs and I mostly got complaints that they were too difficult.
or the RSRs were against unfair competition. I am happy to run such events again.
