I'll be absent for this'n. Hate the track and I have my first proper GPL race on Tuesday night so to keep relationships civil at home I try to keep to just two race nights per week. Have a good'un.

Got my first laps in last night...whoa! these cars really feel great on this flowing undulating track The volume and brute power compared to the 'old gent' feel of the Lotus 7's was staggering in contrast. But they felt proper race cars, superb!! Not sure how easy to apply ballast but you may want to do so to the Capri 3.1 as it appears to blow the rest into the reeds. Or maybe restrict slower drivers to using it. My 20mins session had the following laptimes by the AI Capri 3.1 1st &2nd @ 1:51mins BMW 24v CSL (Non Schnitzer) 3rd @ 1:54 BMW 12v 4th @ 1:55 & 56 Porshe 3.0 RSR 5th to 7th @ 1:57's Corvette C3 Hardtop 8th @ 1:59 (Note this car could be added to the group for fast guys like JohnW to drive...it looks and sounds great). Capri 2.6 @ 2:00mins I managed a 1:57.2 in the RSR but have only done about 10laps and still tweaking the setup. So be interesting to see what real world times you guys can do in comparison to the AI's times. Mega track layout this one

My instinct is to enable all BMWs even the Schnizers, reason I haven't so far is because some people (Myself, and Matteo) seem faster in the Schnizer than the 3100 Capri which I personally find "awkward" If everyone finds the Capri much faster then I will remove the Schnizer restriction for this and future events. I didn't want to get into handicapping yet,though perhaps we could do the "TOp 3 in the champ have to use the RSR3.0? would that spoil people's fun? whadayathink?

yeah know what your saying Matt, i dont want to see any cars excluded in these early days either. More choices on grid the better in my opinion as it all looks and sounds great. As long as we dont end up with 16 capris and 3 each of the other There may be a foible to the Capri? does it eat its tyres up in 10 laps / tricky to handle etc. Might balance the books over a race distance. Id like to see one or two more cars added to the set, it might encourage any that find the real fast beasts too much to handle. Maybe the Capri 2.6 (assuming it handles any easier than the 3.1?) and the Vette hardtop i mentioned. Though im sure the Beemers are easyish to drive and the RSR felt planted to me too. Can see John in that all American paint-scheme Vette ps i posted an ad over at No-grip using the banner and with a weeks notice it may entice some more drivers over.

Ouch! perhaps we could do the "TOp 3 in the champ have to use the RSR3.0? would that spoil people's fun? whadayathink? I'm quite happy to self-handicap (that sounds vaguely smutty for some reason), and it would be nice to have another choice if the RSR is blatantly uncompetitive at some tracks. I'm not too fussed either way, but I think there might be some Porsche-haters out there that might not like the idea of being forced into it

I wouldn't worry too much about the times the AI are doing, they seem much more competitive in some cars than others, the Capri 3100 being one that they seem to excel in. I think the RSR will be very competitive here, it is far better in the turns than the other two.

After some liberal PR from Legzy and guilt from me for not trying it, I hope to turn up for this. Though i'm yet to drive anything yet.
