I noticed, that the server is set at max 16 drivers. Will that also be the setting for tomorrow's race ?
It seems there's a renewed interest for P@G now, and it would surely be a shame, if not everybody could get in :'(

There's plenty of racing to be had here for us latecomers to the championship without taking the quickest cars and without getting caught up in the battle for the series (although I'm sure Clive, John and FMG if he could make it would welcome the challenge). I'm looking forward to scrapping it out with Jules in the Alfas I noticed, that the server is set at max 16 drivers. Will that also be the setting for tomorrow's race ?

I believe 16 is just a low setting for practice servers and the race will allow 26 ish. I seem to remember we had them queuing at the door when 2.1 first came to town and it's good to see a resurgeance of interest now V3 is here.

We have had to contend with fast drivers in fast cars "bobbing in" all through the season!
i think maybe thats a rule that should get changed if we run any kind of similar format in future championships. Although great when the field increases, its quite frustrating for the front runners (or even top 10) when some fast pants comes in a superior car and nicks the lions share of points Its worked pretty well this format other than that anomaly. Maybe make it the ruling they can only run a midfield car or be hindered like the rest of the top group so that they have to earn the points

Low 1:47s in the Lotus Cortina so far, so I guess if the ‘Stangs don’t experience tire trouble in the later part of the race, it’s going to be a low-midfield place for me at best… But as Goldtop rightly mentions above: there's plenty of racing to be had without taking the quickest cars. I had lots of fun during the season and hope to join you in the next series with a massive turnout of new competitors! Cheers,

Hello to all. Can I join you, if I manage to put all things right and working in time to get in server? For what I understood, I can chose the faster cars, right? Am I welcome after so long absense?
Cheers

Bad news, it will have to be the BSCC one! Good to see you back PR.

it wasnt meant as a criticism Tony But if you look at the BTC series alone there were 7 races where 'pop in drivers' (ie drivers who did only 1-4 events) got wins or podiums, thats quite a haul of available points and now we get Clive in a season finale hoping someone turns up in a faster car than the rest of us to win it and prevent his rivals getting the points !...that isnt quite cricket old chap!
