Guy's, we still have a £40 deficit on our quarterly cost and if we don't clear it this month we will find it added to our next quarters cost's and then it will be a harder to clear. So, to those who have already contributed, Thank you and if you could manage a further £2.00 it would be much appreciated. To those who don't/haven't contributed please consider doing so. We really need your help to continue running. Thanks WT

just to clarify the car options for us who are PnG challenged..... It says "any Escort 1600, 1800, all" so does that include the 2000??? or just any version of the 1600 /1800??

I might have guessed that was the case lol I should have read the race post properly before I jumped into Goodwood for a quick spin yesterday. I was getting sub 1:20's in the Capri and that looked to be a far better choice than the asthmatic Elan. Then I quit and later checked the post again..... well yes the 3.1 Capri probably would be quicker wouldn't it??? So I might get some time between now and Thursday to give the 2600 Capri a spin and the Escort 1800/1600. I'm guessing that lap times would be in the low 1:20's??? for these cars. I like Goodwood as a circuit in GPL and always go to the Revival in September to watch the old cars racing, so this race should be fun.

The 2600 is probably the fastest car if you can drive around it's natural understeer, and braking instability I like the '72 RS1600s best. Be aware there are considerable differences between the various years of the cars on offer. The '71 RS1600s are quite a bit slower, and yep the 3100 capri is in a different league than this lot

Low 1:20's, Evil? I wish... I briefly tested all four marques yesterday @ Gwood. The Porsche was a stone...1:29's for me...but sounded neat. The Capri...properly selected, ahem, ahem...was reasonably rapid with laps in the high 1:26's but I hate the sound files assigned to it. Won't use it just because of that! The Elan was fun and decently fast as I logged low 1:27's as a best. The Escort was head-n-shoulders the fastest by far with a best of a low 1:24 timing and not much left on the table. Sounded neat, too! Just hope that I've selected the right model! Not much doubt in my mind as to the best car to fling about. Doni

yesterday I had an evening at home in CPH for a change, and tried out this combo.
I managed 1.23.00 in the Escort 270 BHP. It's sheer joy to drive that car on this track .... love it :- ))
A damned shame I can't make this race ( or any race until septermber actually ).
Hope you guys have fun.
Stig

Lots of fast Escort times :-) I was a little bit faster in the Capri than the Escort, but then I only did a few laps...

Not done a single lap yet will have to do my praccy pre-race tomorrow night but looking forward to it as a cool group of cars on a good track. Isn't the rs1600 the car that has one or two way faster than the rest? Think the ST will be slowest of the group

The RS1600 has '72 - fast and '71 slower, in my testing, which is usually rubbish, the Capri was fastest, the '72 Escorts close behind with the (11 and Elan a second or so behind, which usually mean that in the hands of a good pork herder the 911 will be a valid option. I may be completely wrong of course

I have seen a lot of Giuseppe and Federico on the server this week and can say that you will need a good 1:22 to be near the front!

I seem to remember a GC race at Melbourne where it needed an IROC to be competitive with the RS1600's, they are blinking fast! Will prob still stick with the ST as I know it best and not done any praccy, plus its a joy to drive

Some fast corners and long flat out sections here, so less disadvantaged than Melbourne perhaps The 911 was not the fastest for me, but then it never is
