Nice, always liked ths track for both practice & racing which doesn't normally happen (it's one or the other ) Just to get us kicked off, 1:39 in the Cwapi after a few laps.

With my usual very brief - race fuel + hard or med tyres testing I get: 40.1 in the BOSS, (Eats tyres) 40.4 in Capir and SquashCourt 43/44 in 911 2,5 (so that means it will be a winning car for coleopterists) 43/44 in Alpine and Alfa (there for a "challenge" or easy drive)

Sorry to hear that Matt. You need to do what I'm doing in a couple of weeks. Retire! So is this going to be a "be kind to the Porsche week"? I have no way of knowing because I can't drive the things.

Only tried the pork so far and had to start from scratch with setup. Got to 1:40 and maybe a bit more time to find there for me, but I doubt it will be quicker than the Fords. Excellent track this with a really nice flow to it

My limited testing times are above, I think a pork in the right hands could win the race but will not be the fastest here for most people I believe. If Mogget runs with the 302 for e.g his times will be quite a bit faster than any Flying Pig . Retire? I have a few years to go yet, and even then I don't think I could afford to completely retire. I will have to go doing some part time contracting I reckon I am intending to run this race on my home cooked server again to see if last week's success was just a fluke. again, if there are any major issues,( not just one person dropping conn who might have anyway), then I will restart the normal server with 10 mins qual, you will have to do a "go to next session" from practice when all have rejoined. I monitored the traffic last week, and we peaked at 300k bytes upload, and download was less than a tenth of that with 20 people on track.

I will try to attend. I'm not familiar with this track so I might not have time to get up to back-of-the-pack race speed before race day.
Thanks phspok for the info about the cars you've tested here. Though it'll guarantee I'll be at the back I'll likely choose an Alpha. I like their handling.

Are these times with race fuel or qually? I can only manage 1:41's with 40mins fuel onboard in the 911. The Capri is surely going to dominate here, with the boss302 being the master of the straights but tardy in the corners.

Oh no, I hope you can keep up

The Capri is surely going to dominate here, with the boss302 being the master of the straights but tardy in the corners. That's with my race setup MJ I never practice quali until quali time as it gives me a nice challenge. I tried the '72 Capri and the quickest Escort and they both yielded low 37s after a few tweaks, but might not be so kind to tyres as the pork. Capri was good fun especially as I don't usually get on with them. I'll try the '71 and see how that fares.

Fair play ya fast bugger looks like I need to find another second to race another 911...or 4 secs to catch a Capri

IROC and 914 are that bit too fast, and would be too strong here, so the 2.5 is whatchagets.
