Terry Sangers Falcon has same power as others except Allan Mann (also white as Sangers) who is the weakest ...
Yes, you are right Ed. My mistake

I don't want to remove cars from the list the day before the race. Too short notice for those who have practiced.
I don;t have any test time now, so the list will have to stick. noted that the Weslake is close to the Alfa though, thanks for that.
Just be aware all, that the Alfa is potentially much faster, and choose accordingly.

Manage to get some praccy in finally, albeit brief. 1:16.4 in the escort TC and Alfa 1750, 1:17.2 in the Falcon sprint. (Didn't know west lake was allowed? ) All done with 40mins fuel onboard. Can go quicker with Alfa I expect but only did about 5 laps in it.

Weslake is not allowed. That was just a suggestion from Matteo. If I was to do anything I would replace the 1750 Alfa with the 1600 one, but would prefer not to change anything so near to the race start.
In fact.. I will add it as an option for anyone who wants to self handicap or finds it an easier drive. EDIT: Alfa 1600 added (Not Volumetrico)

Well that upsets my car choice. I was going to take the Alfa 1750, given that I was a second down on Manteos at least and needed all the help I can get, and haven't practiced any other car. But now it would seem you are all too polite to take the quicker Alfa - well, let's just see how many of them turn up tonight.

You take whatever you like. If you win by a mile in the 1750 then perhaps you chose wrong I will not be in the Alfa, but then I am not interested in winning at all costs, I am there to have a fun race. Edited by Mod

My patented PnG car selection method is to see what's left over after discounting any Minis, Alfas and anything with a V8. So easy choice here to take the Escort..!

Don't worry, I won't win, not even in the Alfa. But some of you are so quick that I need a fast car to have an outside chance of getting on the podium. And, quite apart from that, I like the Alfa at this track

As organiser my patented method is to run whatever is the least popular here it wil be slightly modified as I could not keep up with anyone in the mini

i will be in an escort i think, though might also try that 1600cc alfa as an alternative if i get time. Too obvious to take a 1750 ! Tail end charlies can take it though and close the grid up, imo.

Mark, any ideas on tyres? If I take the Escort, do I have to run the hard ones?

Well I took the 1750 Alfa last week because I enjoyed it most, even when it was clearly outgunned by other selections. I quite fancied the chance of a decent result in it tonight and have put the practice in only to find we are now being discouraged from taking it Might be better if car restrictions were mandatory in future.....for say the top 5 drvers in the current championships and for new drivers. At least we'd know not to spend time practicing in the wrong car.

I have raced since 1962, and to me the two main principle are:- 1. Get your bum into the fastest vehicle available 2. Drive it as fast as you can Anything else is just joy riding! Since I am not one of the uberquick, that's what I shall continue to do, unless restrictions are introduced. Although Matt has provided a vast array of vehicles for this event I can't say that I have taken a shine to any of them; so I guess that it's the track that I don't like much. The classic would have been better but wouldn't necessarily have provided a match between these cars. Thanks to Matt for all his efforts.
