It's very unlikely I'll race, I recall from my GPL days these things are not easy to drive and require some practice. Sadly I've had no time for that and I'm busy again this evening.

No one want take the McLaren? I did some laps on Silverstone and it is a good car, friendly, well balanced and with performance like other mid-group-cars.

Not tried that one yet. Will give it a go this eve  ...but then how come no one else has tried it?  Hopefully its better than the 2015-2018 versions  |

Didn't see a McLaren.... I like stable cars, I thought the Cooper would be stable, but it wasn't for me.. BRM BRM is most stable, the Honda is nice, the Ferri was ok, the Eagle was like herding cats  |

how many grid slots has Kyalami got? and how many car types are there to choose from? (Excluding the two that were already dropped). I'm at work so cant check.
Will try to ensure there is enough of each pre-chosen car type and then allow a spare few of the others for 'turn up on the night' drivers.

I originally set the practice server up for 30 slots, 3 each of the 10 cars. Track will support 38 pit boxes. Darn - beaten to it  |

No wonder I didn't try the Mclaren, it's not on the server! Why isn't it there? It's a 3l car and yet the 2l Lotus 33 is available?  I'd also take the matra for a test if it became available, it could be competitive on really twisty tracks and it could be interesting to see how it compares here.. |

A work commitment has come up so I'll have to bail out of this one unfortunately.

One day I'll get something right  Surprised that only the Mclaren was missing, I had 30 cars in the entry list but forgot to change the server config file so that said 22. So I would had have guess these was only one Lotus 49 and no Matra or Mclaren. I've restarted the server so things might be happier now. |

Dont worry Pete, we know these things have to be done on the fly whilst trying to work or deal with real life Ungrateful lot  But that does explain why no-one had tried the Mclaren  Sorry you cant make it GT  |

I wasn't being ungratefull (I've done server monkeying as well in the past!), I was just asking in case it was omitted on purpose Eagle setup will be uploaded to Stracker in about 10 mins - basically once I've rebooted into W10 and fired up AC... |

Mate would you share your ferrari setup? Preferably via dropbox or something like it, since I don't have stracker.
