Looking forward to 'learning' this tomorrow (or maybe a quick shot a bit later tonight if that large steak wears off a bit!) At least the setup work is done; just a case of picking a car

Sadly, the Chaparral doesn't seem to work here, so I'd recommend whichever bounces the best.

Managed a few laps on the server after I found my way there via IP last night and at least began to get a feel for this new ( for me) track. Definitely a track that has to be treated with respect lol! some poles and trees that seem to be positioned just right to rip a wheel off should you run even fractionally wide. Gradually, I was finding the groove but not sure that the Baby Brab is the ideal car for this track. That loooong straight gives the bigger engines a huge advantage for about 50% of the lap....might have to think about it tonight

For THIS RACE, 2 liters car must be selected
As there is no real leaders in this championship, there will be no restriction :
Interesting, unexpected, mid-Season tampering with the handicapping? There are clear championship leaders, acording to the points table. Using a crystal ball to predict the future, and fiddling with the handicap mid-Season, or deciding to suddenly remove the handicap, is not helpful to those who take results seriously. It seems to me, the one has led to the other.

Weird that... I was running laps in qually but got dropped and couldn't reconnect. Was it an admin override? Was i in the wrong car? BT11 BRM 2l Anyway, sorry chaps! Was prepared for this one but it was not to be! No worries, onwards and upwards! Hopefully see you guys at the next meeting. Hope you had a good race!

Grrr, after all my few laps late last night & the practice event just before the race [I even adjusted top gear on a lucky-looking Brands setup] ran a bit wide on the 2nd lap on the corner just before the coastal road.
Was ok the fact that I ran a family over, but hitting the pot-plant behind them did for me.
Meh. Maybe it was a bad thing to have donned a Brabham shirt [available on ebay for approx £5; double for the matching fleece!] & then plumped for Ferrari in the practice.
Pity, there's now a hole in the evening. Soon be a hole in the fridge contents too...
Cheers, Dave.

T7 crashing wasn't great but got the server restarted and set about crashing myself. Easy to slide wide and just 'tap' one of the spiky plants which make you car explode. Was running quite nicely when I took a wide line so that I didn't get in Clive's way as he was about to lap me, got a wheel on the grass and the 'Plantus Spikius Bastardus' did the rest Not sure if I like the track or not. Fairly fun to drive solo but tough for racing...

Managed to make second time on Q. Bad start but good first laps went to 3rd position then removed the gap between me and the first two but then someone passed me. After several lap he spinned and crashed into me. I think there was nothing for him or me to do avoiding the crash.Anyway it was great chase.

Andy you had the right car and did nothing wrong ...but everybody has been disconnected. Then Paul started the server again and everything went well (...especially for Clive and me ) ...but you forget(?) to reconnect

I received a clip round the rear on lap 1, but my connection was to blame. I liked the track, but my part of the Ethernet did not.

Tris was warping really badly as well Martin so from my POV you both instantaneously appeared at the same point at the same time. Unlucky.
