UKPnG Season 8 Grand Touring Championship - Rouen - Nov 28

[Burtoner]

One has to evaluate the opposition.   

@Burt:  So where were you on Thursday?

Working till 9pm   

[Mark J]

Not tried it, but bet that Boss Mustang shifts on this track! Bit of Mogget that one   will be in an RSR whether it's quick or not, rude not too   though fancy giving a zakspeed Escort a run too.

Back straight is all tarmac/road surface to me. I can't think of anywhere other than the grass that is out of bounds.

I had more trouble than usual getting a decent mix here. Several people were kind enough to do some testing
the results of which are now the car choices. Some people had some cars faster than others did, but
the results will give an interesting race I believe.

great track, one of the best, and cool selection of cars!

The Escort is quite quick here, slightly faster for me than the Porsche which is however the sweeter drive. The Porsche setup I used for the April race with PG3.0 carried over well, I didn't have to adjust anything.

I'm not a Capri driver at all, and don't get on with American muscle either - as Burton witnessed to his amusement, I use it mostly to creatively re-arrange trackside furniture.

teach me not to re-read the posts,    I jumped In the 12v BMW3.3 for some laps last night thinking, by heck this things fast!, after blitzing my 2.8RSR times by many seconds...only to find its not in the list now!  Thankfully. Would make a great race against the 3.0RSR though in other events as times were similar.
One to test/think of in the future. Seems a better match than the 3.1 capri and 24v BMW we keep pitching the outgunned RSR against.

   I made the same mistake. Been practising with the BMW, felt pretty safe in it, as usual not quick, just read your post, back to the drawing board, oh well.....

[Geoffers]

It'll be the Zakspeed Escort for me, can't resist a first run in it. 

[Clive Loynes]

Strikes me that you can chuck away half a second on just about every corner on this circuit!

[Clive Loynes]

Race day dawns, in fact it has afternooned, and I see that this place is just buzzing with the usual frenetic activity and excitement!   

[Mark J]

I jumped on the praccy server for half hour or so last night and there was nobody but Niels on there and even he didn't stay long.

Quite looking forward to this one as like the track and cars.  No doubt that means some impatient so and so will punt me off early 

will be scary fast and nerve wracking in sector 1 in any close company!  so I hope peeps have practised progressive hard braking into the hairpin! Don't want someone barrelling down from the back and wiping out half the field because they couldn't brake in time.
We should start wielding the naughty stick if there is silly contacts tonight, seen it creeping in again lately.

Plenty of places to overtake safely here so use some patience! 

[Mogget]

I have no idea what I will be driving since I haven't even installed the track yet. The Boss Mustang would be nice, but that hairpin is a bastard for the big muscle cars.
