UKPnG Season 8 Enduro Cup - Jerez - Nov 21

[Clive Loynes]

I think that the more fast people we can attract the better.  It isn't all down to their being gifted aliens either, I spotted that Team7 were putting in the miles on Jerez on their own server last night.  Like SBRC, they pass setups about and tweak them to give the required results by race night.

I am more likely to go for something with no added spreadsheets/admin
like 2 speeds of cars, not too much different with "Top 3 in the Championship have to drive one of the slightly slower cars"

With regard to the limited series, if there are two speeds of cars, should we split the field in half, and the top half drive the slower of the two? (I am happy either way, but I can't keep myself from making suggestions! Sorry  )

Start with a load of cars then reduce by one for each race after first. Lose either the most popular or the winners car (no spreadsheet required).

nah, we'd end up with a load of duff cars that nobody likes driving !  You shouldn't be penalised for getting a good result in a car of your choice/favoured, we just need to somehow deter too many taking 'the' fastest car in each group. Its always been a problem, and not something that happens in real racing as everyone cant afford the best car or are contracted to a certain manufacturer. Hence why a series that has a pre-selected car would be good as they have to use it whether it suits that track or not. Guess that still means all the clever ones (or those with the spare time!) will choose the best all rounder 

Doesn't performance ballast work with P&G ?

But end of day, this has been a cracking season of varied series anyway

Tony has run a series with a reducing car list, and I think it worked well
true everyone ended up having to drive the Volvo P1800 (I think)
but it was a great series. Half the field os too much I think Walter
something like "top 3 in a championship" newcomers take anything until
they promote themselves into a slower car. i can feel that one growing in the
window box outside....

Please go throw some weed killer on it.

Pahh! you were the one who was complaining about top 6, so I listened to the readers and
made it top 3.... I am not talking about choosing an RSR3 or a MINI I am talking about a 16v Escort
or an 8v for the leaders sort of thing.

[Legzy]

I like all these ideas

The mistake that was made when I was running it (with WT) was that the handicap series was every week or alternate weeks, so there was no break from it. These days where you're running multi-series I think one of them being handicapped in some way would be great



p.s. Bring back Legzy tokens!

[Legzy]

p.s. Check out who holds a couple of lap records here Clive, should be good for some Team Oldie points me thinks
p.p.s. I miss that F1 1988 mod :'(

[goldtop]

Handicapping the odd series should be fun but please make sure you handicap raw speed and not consistency, otherwise in my experience it just doesn't work.

I like the variety of races Matt has come up with this season. The spice of life  

Edit: Haha, yes I was thinking exactly of that F1 series.

LOL When you get one of these shopping cars around in 1:20 I shall be all agog!

Brother Simon is also looking for some F1/open-wheeler action.  He has gone for a refund on rFactor2 and then went and spent money on iRacing!!!

But now it won't let him have anything but a bog slow tin-top.     The only thing in its favour is that he can race on a Sunday.



PS  Mr Cinderby may have claimed the lap records when we last raced PnG here but I won the race and Matt was second!   

[goldtop]

Well I've been spending far too much time on Assetto Corsa this last week. Just had a few laps online to build my setup and PnG feels like a flight sim in comparison  Doesn't bode well for my race

LOL cheeky devil.

[Mark J]

I see everyone has been shifty and quiet about their laptimes and car choice leading up to this event! 

Other than my handful of laps earlier in the week, not found the time to put some extra praccy in. Will have to try and do so before the race tonight! Not even practised a pitstop yet. T'is the Legends way, none of this team 7 /SRBC organised practise sessions malarkey  probably why I hardly ever get in the top 6  :'(

Probably going to take the Pantera as I really like it in P&G and feels more like a racecar than the rest of the set, though no doubt at a disadvantage in fuel and tyres to the Alfas and escorts, couldn't face 70mins driving a saloon car
