A nice track surely, but we may have a problem here Last race we had a great turnout of 22 or 23 drivers, but as fas as I can tell, the grid at Crystal Palace is limited to 19! In any case, those starting at the back of the grid should make a note of the fact, that you can't see the starting-lights from there. Stig

I seem to recall that it gets funnier than that; with cars dropping on top of each other in the pit lane because there are not enough garage spaces. Or maybe I just imagined it!

technical problems would be a pity as it is a lovely classic track and a very appropriate selection of cars

I am away from tommorow, I have no time to rearrange anything or do testing Sorry if I messed up, you can either run it if you want to risk it or cancel it if you feel it's not worth it. Personally I would go for it with caution and hope.

I'll give this one a miss - every one of my races seem to be disrupted with technical problems and crashes at the moment, and with limited grid places i don't want to prevent someone from joining that actually has a good chance of finishing the race..

Very considerate of you frex, thank you. Although I don't know that anyone has a "good" chance of finishing tonight. A hoard of roller skates lapping within a gnat's nadger of each other on this shoe-box sized circuit is likely to cause an incident or two. Add in the close proximity of the walls and their predilection to grabbing and spinning a car that tries to "brush" it and the field should be further thinned out by the end of lap two. I, for one, will be extremely glad to get to Spa! Please note that this isn't a moan. Just an observation. I'm sure some will love it.

I persist in enjoying this track - the only drawback for me is that, judging from last night's online practice sessions, I will be once again amongst the slowest. Someone was doing low .58s FFS!
I suspect that anyone with some clear air in front will find it easy to pull away from those behind as you have to throw the car at some of the corners which simply isn't possible if you're in traffic.

LOL It's OK if you don't mind hitting people. I think that the most frustrating part of using these gutless wonders is that as soon as the back end starts to slide all your speed vanishes and it needs winding up all over again!

I am not a keen supporter of "throwing" cars into corners. I prefer to drive through them as smoothly as possible, and get the power down early. I am still nowhere near as consistent with this method as I would like (I end up trying to take numerous corners too fast), but I will keep trying to teach my brain the lesson I haven't installed the track yet, but I remember it from GT Legends....

well...i'm sure that he have a race next thursday. I was informed about the limited grid in this race. I think that he should not pose any problems. Maybe he should take a look in lobby for checking if a place is avaible.
