Title: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: EvilClive on December 27, 2021, 10:30:40 AM +0000 During the gap between the end of season 39 and the beginning of season 40 we have the chance to run our regular Xmas special races.
If you are interested in taking part in this FUN event please post on this thread asap. The first race could be tomorrow ( Tuesday 28th Dec ) if we get enough interest. Drivers will be assigned to teams so that the range of abilities is broadly matched across each team. We will be using the '66 carset Pro drivers will be limited to 2.0 litre cars only ( excluding 2.7 litre options) Am drivers will have a free choice. Santas will drive RED cars i.e Ferraris Elves will drive Brabhams If there are enough drivers then there may be a Snowman Team Snowmen will drive Hondas and Coopers/Lotus Scoring will be from 18 - 1 so all drivers count. First race will be at SNOWGLEN and more races will follow if enough interest. http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=3662 Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: GrandPrixYannick on December 27, 2021, 11:27:48 AM +0000 I'm in, though I'd personally favour we take the winter tracks (rouenwin, snowglen, snowitude) to stick with the theme :)

Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: bernie on December 27, 2021, 11:50:03 AM +0000 Pity this isn't for 67 cars ::)
I haven't got 66 mod on board and thus not familiar with the cars , set ups etc etc :-\ Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: Claudio Navonne on December 27, 2021, 11:51:59 AM +0000 Friends, I will be available from January 11. From that day on, please keep me in mind.
Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: Leo Menegucci on December 27, 2021, 12:01:16 PM +0000 Interesting.

Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: bagrupp on December 27, 2021, 02:59:25 PM +0000 why not ? :)
Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: Rainier on December 27, 2021, 03:09:40 PM +0000 interested if well known tracks.
Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: dave curtis on December 27, 2021, 04:26:49 PM +0000 Not one of my favoured mods, but interested to make up the numbers. From my quick (but UNOFFICIAL!) reckoning, the permissible cars would work out as: Santas:
Elves:
Snowmen:
Cheers, Dave. Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: Rainier on December 27, 2021, 04:41:02 PM +0000 No Eagle ?

Afair the 2.7 Brab was also a 2L ;) Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: dave curtis on December 27, 2021, 06:06:25 PM +0000 Afair the 2.7 Brab was also a 2L ;) I was taking into account: Quote Pro drivers will be limited to 2.0 litre cars only ( excluding 2.7 litre options) I read that initially as Pro drivers CAN'T take 2.7, but maybe I took that the wrong way (?)However, my list is not necessarily the official one :) Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: EvilClive on December 27, 2021, 07:57:33 PM +0000 Dave has interpreted my clumsy description as I intended.
I know that we normally allow the Brab 2.7 and the Eagle Climax 2.7 as cars in the 2 litre class, but just to make the Pros work off their excess wine and cake I thought that they could work a little harder? Also it has been suggested that we use a "winter" circuit so the first race will be at SnowGLEN. http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=3662 Thus far we have the following drivers:- Yannick P JPettet A Virtualdemise A? Leo P Doni A Phil P Bastian P David Ranier A Dave Curtis A Billy A Axel P oh yes and me P So that makes 6 Pro and 6 Ams?? Cmon guys another 6 names and the Snowmen get a team too Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ?? Post by: EvilClive on December 27, 2021, 08:03:02 PM +0000 I will announce the Teams Tuesday morning and create a race post.
I am hoping that we get enough for 3 x teams of 6 drivers. Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ??

Post by: Phil Thornton on December 28, 2021, 11:50:42 AM +0000 You need to use GEM to add the carset.
Click on the Carsets button (top left of GEM window). Then select GPL66 from the "Inactive Carsets" and use the arrow button to move it over to the "Active Carsets". Title: Re: SANTAS vs ELVES vs ??

As this is a FUN race this is a hand printed announcement. The annual fun race between teams of Christmas characters is back and we have 3 teams of drivers, all in fancy dress, ready to do battle. The cars have been allocated to the Teams and the drivers were selected, in order of application, against a random number list. The track is to be the SNOWGLEN, but without the icy surface ( that might have been a step too far ?). So we all know the circuit. Race list = iGOR Server = TBA 60fps IP address = see IGOR Password = see above GPL Mod = 66 Damage model = INT 60fps Patch = 60fpsV2newmod Track download = http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=3662 Track directory = SNOWGLEN Qualifying starts = 20:45 UK time - 45 minutes Race starts = ~ 21:30 UK time Race length = 43 laps. Currently we have 15 names for this race which will give 3 x teams of 5 cars. If we get another 3 names today they will be added to the teams. If we have a spare driver there is a special role reserved for them which will be announced if that happens....watch this space shifty Santa's Cars: AMS PRO Ferrari 312 V12 3lt Ferrari 246 V6 2.4lt Ferrari 246 V6 2.4lt Santa Drivers TRIS AXEL BASTIAN DONI VIRTUAL DEMISE Elve's Cars: AMS PRO Brabham BT19 Repco V8 3lt Brabham BT11 BRM V8 2lt Brabham BT11 Climax S4 2.7lt Brabham BT11 Climax S4 2.5lt Brabham BT11 BRM V8 2lt Brabham BT11 Climax S4 2.5lt Elf Drivers LEO EVIL DAVE CURTIS JPETTET KALEVI Snowmen Cars: AMS PRO Cooper T81 Maserati V12 3lt Lotus 33 BRM V8 2lt Lotus 43 BRM H16 3lt Lotus 33 Climax V8 2lt Honda RA273 V12 3lt Lotus 33 BRM V8 2lt Lotus 33 Climax V8 2lt Snowmen Drivers YANNICK ANDREAS DAVID RANIER PHIL BILLY Special Rules for this race.
