Is this boot classic or short classic?

Not sure Juge, my wheel is broken so I cant do any test laps. Its the config that cuts out the bus-stop chicane.

It includes 4 layouts which includes a "classic" non bus stop version of both long and short layouts

I'll let you guys decide which is the best to suit these cars, let me know and I will update post 1.

Realistic would be short classic, boot wasnt used till 72, way after these cars so can we agree on that and get a practice server up soon  ???

I did some practice after Sunday's race. Cars are well suited around here, they really can stretch their legs. I had more fun these few laps than at twisty Laguna. Bring it on!

Sorry chaps, brain fart, I got the password wrong. I sat here for 10 mins waiting for someone to join and moan if it didn't work but had promised to help someone out via TeamViewer.

Probably unfair but I can restart it. Shout within 5. I'll go 15 practice then normal times

I decided to start it with 20 mins practice, 15 q and 40 race. If people complain that they missed out then I suspect it'll be a fun race and get rescheduled. Jump on now if you want to have a race tonight

Got half way through race, must be the heat and not using rift for a while had to stop was so nauseous.

I was too un-focused for racing. Sorry Kimi, I spun in the most dangerous zone possible.  :'(

The Chevy T70 was right at home here, and i had a good rythem. Juge and FMG where fighting eachother quite a bit, so i had them in my sights for most of the race. No chance of catching them though. I did notice one of the Finnish boys on my tail for quite some laps.
So i was racing on my own for most of the race. Hopefully there will be some more participants for the next outing. Come on guys!  :)

thanks,  I'm sure its nothing compared to a bad hip, so good luck with that  :)

thanks, and IDK but its been bothering me a little for a while, but yesterday I got up in the morning and could not put any weight on the ball of my right foot, ended up hobbling around like a cripple all day (and today too! although I did find some tougher shoes which are helping a bit today). If it doesn't clear up by itself in the near future I'll have to go bother the doctor...

BTW... would it be possible to get link to track we are using next time in mosport because I will be having really busy time before that and like to get some laps in while I still have time.
