Schottenring would be totally insane in the 69s, that's why I'm asking for it!  We just drove it with the CanAms at Funliga... Great fun! I am for this track  |

OK Schottenring for Hockenheim... that gives people a month to find and learn it.

My Race was terrible.
After a decent start one of the Mercaldo-Brothers send me over the wall. After the Shift_r and the Stop and Go my Race was destroyed because my Wing-Setup was about that one from Evil. My Idea was also to benefit from the Tow of the Low-Wing-Cars and trying something in the slower Parts of the Track. But for sure there was no one left to give me any slipstream. And so in the end I must say I was complete wrong with my "HighTowerWingCar" .
For the discussion of the Tracks I want to say that I do not mind to change one of the Tracks now, but I am also fine to leave it like it is for now.
But for the next Season I would love to see Tracks like Assen, Bathurst and Clermont in the Race- Calendar.
So long
Andreas

@ Tom, yes I guess 10 days were enough to heal my broken heart for not having been able to race at solitude.. That and some of the latest moderating work I suppose.. I love the "revolving door" method |

Probably too late now for the 69's but.................. I have just downloaded and tried a new track for me CILCE. You want sweeping corners? hard braking into tight corners? a mixture of slow and fast sections? 4.7mile laps.....awesome   It is on the track database so download and try. If I get the chance to run a mod next season THIS TRACK will be in the mix! |

We just drove it with the CanAms at Funliga... Great fun! I am for this track I was just passing and happened to hear mention of getting shott. This may be the case, but Cookie failed to mention we had only 2 Can-Ams standing, when I left at 2/3 race distance, after 1 reset each. And it's approval here has come from a driver unfamiliar with the track. It is a fantastic track - it is the cause of much loss of life - I may well be it's next victim. |

Really? What kind of mad racing series drove there? ;o |

I think historically we keep the 67's on real tracks, but as far as I know there is no hard ruling about fantasy tracks within UKGPL. But maybe I am wrong?
We have used Effex and Jops Siffert quite often and they are fantasy circuits.
I would not dismiss a circuit just because it is the product of someone's feverish imagination, but rather rate tracks on the challenge they present and the racing that they give us?
After all, most circuits started out as the product of someone's imagination didn't they, its just that the project was made real?

These were Can-Am's so speedwise not so different. Two races - first I led first half as others crashed. Second, started nearer last - saw 3 or 4 crashes by 5km, then my turn - realized 1st is safer.  I do not have these 69x installed ATM. If you must race at 'The Schott' I'll hope to join you. Podium last '66 because I survived. |

Its a fantastic track. Fantasy or not we really should be racing on tracks of this quality. One volunteer for track testing ready and willing! |

As for fantasy tracks, if we are allowed to use them, then how come we race the same tracks each 2 season all the time? I would have loved to see The Moon being used in an official race and not just for fun races... |

Hmmm . . . my sponsorship has not yet been paid. I pledge myself as a Ukgpl fan, but none-the-less, they're a 60fps group with fast habits . . . . and I am not referring to a group of racing Nuns! They race Religeously every week . . . "Grumble!" Guests include Dean Logan, Jonnie Ackermann, myself, and Sergio L. who hopes to make his debut appearance next week - none of whom are Nuns. However, some are known to prey upon their opponents. Fantasy tracks - if not already tried and tested, would first need to be tried and tested. |

Ok - didn't quite understand correctly until this was repeated. I believe the track was used in the 40's and 50's, and a quick look at the track readme might well elucidate. I write better than I read, but traction and speed would have been hugely different. Also the tree's and various objects were less likely to ensnare cars originally. When released, this was one of the best, and I think it remains one of the greatest challenges. Not everyone is up to the challenge. |
