Much traffic tonight, but not all of it at Daytona.  A very iffy signal, threw me from the track during practice, so only 1 lap on race fuel.  Hense, a very iffy race setup, which allowed me to shower sparks at all who dared follow, early in the race, all around the high speed banking. angel Roll Eyes

Apologies also to those following Chaps, for the brief disappearing act.   I counted 2 past, after slowing to let you go the first time around.  As it was only a fun race, I pressed on, and contested with one of the white winged wonders, until being removed from the track . . .  again.  Those GPL god's can be cruel!

Congrats to Axel!  Fun fight but that damned white tank just had too much power, not much I could do.  Plus someone painted my Ferrari yellow which I think made it heavier.

Yes, it was not fair Roll Eyes
but FUN  Grin
I had intended to use a Ferrari too and had it prepared, but joining the race I did not check the car and when I saw others in Chap, I kept it..

How about Targa for the next round?

I've noticed something that may affect future Gt races.  First Season 27 Amateurs race is posted with this : ' For this season Drivers must complete 50% of each race to score.'  What happened to the vote for this stupid rule?

An honest opinion is healthy Tommie.  I think this rule adds friction between drivers,and encourages cars to crawl around the track.  But there's also a sad issue with this, if you go look at :

The post for Ams registration is locked for a reason - it's incomplete, decisions have not been finalised yet. It will be unlocked when it is ready to accept registrations.

Thanks and welcome to our new Moderating Machine - I hope Paul gave you a free feel of his Rolls Royce? 

Now alerted to the state of pre-race preparation, it's puzzling the similarity to Season 26?  Amateur dates and tracks at this moment, are a tad similar to 26, so racing to 50% will be difficult, unless being rerun as Historics. laugh  Perhaps much of what's there is no longer applicable, for 27?

Rolls? A luxury... the Morris Minor broke down on the parade lap. Grin

More likely the S26 registration was used as a template, which makes sense when most of it is duplicated. Smiley
