Thanks for your post Greg.
TBH I don't have that much experience with the 66 Can Ams so I welcome advice from those who have tamed these beasts.

 Do any other regular users of the 66CA feel the same about the proposed PRO's car choice?

I would pick the 305 given a free choice of chassis.

Yes the Lola Ford 305 is probably one of the easier cars to drive, but is also one of the fastest. The Lola Ford 427 is slow because it is heavy and has only two gears.

Greg is right, Clive. Would be best to apply his suggestion IMO if you want to handicap Pro's Wink

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will amend the Announcements post as suggested.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CARS AVAILABLE FOR THE pro'S IN THE 66 CAN AMS HAVE BEEN CHANGED.

I would also include the Chaparral in the 1966 CA Pro list Smiley . It has a smaller engine and only two gears but it's on rails in the corners Smiley .

Prior to the amendment, was there a limit on the number of times a pro driver could pick the same car?
Easy, similar to the other mods, pro drivers only use a car once.
there are only three ca66 races.

AAAAArrrggghh!!! at this rate there will be just one car for the Pro's in 66 Can Ams!!   lol

It is good to know that the more experienced drivers are offering their views on which cars offer an advantage to the PRO drivers. I am keen to make this reversed season as competitive as possible for all levels of ability, and your input on this is welcome.

I am going to hold off any further changes until we have a true consensus of opinion on the cars and I can make just one final amendment to the post. So keep posting your views guys, and in a couple of days we can set the final car group.

In the 66CA read me, it suggests driving the slower cars first until you are more experienced. So I do not plan on driving the 427 this season (novice perspective). How about we use the gpl rank world record times (normal direction) to decide on the handicap.

Edit: I checked gplrank 66ca at the Nurburg, and some cars do not have laptimes posted yet. So, sorry for the poor recommendation.

I will be happy with whatever the organizers decide.

My apologies Clive. Thanks Tommie. I forgot about the Chaparral 2E. I've neglected it. I wanted to learn to drive the 2D and 2F well before I drove the 2E much. I've still got a lot of work to do to feel proficient with the two GT Chaparrals.

This seems silly - I'm in  Grin

Although the 'Ring will be insane. I have a game that features backwards races on it and NEVER managed to learn it well enough to be happy  Cheesy

It is 9:05 and my gaming PC has just decided that it has detected a "rootkit virus"!!! so the AV has decided that it must do a ROOT  SCAN.
I have no idea how long it will take, but I am hoping it is less than 20minutes!!!

Just lately I seem doomed whenever I try and enjoy a race...................... Undecided

Have fun if I don't make it guys.
