Correct BB. Baab could not be described as incredibly German, not with that impenetrable Lancashire accent of his.... |

Why not have a split in the Privateers of light and heavy? I have not yet understood how to setup these cars to have a comfortable drive... I will not race in the Works as I am far away from driving save and constant and I don't want those compliments again I got after my first try  So if there will be a fair way to drive 67s for me I will join, if not, no problem |

The split of Light and Heavy is really best suited to smaller championships where we can't generate the grids to justify an extra server (e.g. F2s) I think the Works and Privateers are fairly clearly defined. This is all about having fun and I certainly do not have a problem with you running in Privs again.

I suggest we wait a little longer until the registrations are complete. Then we will know if anyone needs to move down or if Hendy or Cookie should move up. As the champion Andreas definitely should move up. If we can't accommodate you, me, Hendy, Cookie, Andreas, Greg, Robert Fleurke and Tristan in the works then perhaps we should think about moving a block of drivers down. Filling up the Works and leaving one fast driver to dominate the Privateers would be the worst scenario. Moving a block of drivers down would at least produce two competitive championships.
That's what made me think about it... |

In these sort of situations NL.GPL used to use GPLRank as an indication to put ppl in division 1,2 or 3 depending on their chassis' choice. Or take finishing/safety rating into account.
Hope everyone will get accomodated to their liking if it's possible...

Following my inauspicious return to UKGPL (a startline disco at the Keimola Santa vs. Elves race), I would like to rejoin D1 (in old money). Let the works battle (first for places!) commence! Looking forward to Solitude, Nurb, classic tracks and a new track in Borovaya, the only downside for me being Brands over Kyalami (personal GPL preference!). Cool calendar for a championship overall.  The new token system should be interesting; I can remember having some of the most thrilling GPL races with the pit stops (strategies of pushing in stints, trying to think and see how close it will be at the finish etc.), but now it will be a championship battle over the whole series of races (not that it wasn't before). Take that, double points!  I would back Robert's solution for places, but also taking into account consistency and reliability, skill in all 7 cars and reliability for making races. Then, of course, fitting this to the 2 division model, so that one doesn't turn into a domination like we witnessed in late 2013..  |
