These guys are great to race with and I hope some of our regular P&G drivers will take part.

Note: You will need to register at RaceConnect. Their registration process differs from our own in that you have to race under your real life name. So you will also have to create a new P&G profile using that name. I created a new profile and after I had sorted out the lobby registration I copied everything from my usual P&G.plr file into my new profile .plr file excluding the three lines about driver name/password etc.

Online Server="SIM_SERVER.txt"
Online UserName="your name"
Online Password="your password"

LOL

It says that:- "The rationale behind this series is to pitch small, nimble cars into competition with large, faster but more unwieldy opposition reminiscent of such antics in the ‘60s and ‘70s."

Glad to hear of a new PnG series but that is exactly what I hate most.    ;D

The roller skates always end up blundering into the big beasts at mid-corner or positioning themselves such that they can't be seen and then wonder why the other car turns in on them.  ::)  I don't think that online racing gives you enough visibility of what the other car is up to to make this work.

If it had been a series of spec races, or closely match similar cars, without any roller skates then I could have been interested.  Honest!

Hope they have full grids and lots of fun.

I know what you mean, Clive, but testing the Abarth against the Falcon has been great fun. We have not yet finalised the P&G series for the second half of the year but it may well end up being something more to your liking  :)
