IMPORTANT
After some online testing, we have found an unsolvable issue with the Ford Capri and therefore it is to be withdrawn from this competition.
Would everyone please delete their Ford 2020CS folder please.
I will be pm'ing the Driver's due to take the Ford Capri to assign them other drives.
The Driver roster will be updated in due course to reflect this change.

Doh!!! Just spent an hour practising and getting the beast down to 3:53secs on full tanks.
Didn't someone say something about wasting time practising for these events!! lol
What was the problem Tony? From my end the car was OK, the brakes were of less use than a wet noodle, but it appeared to be fine.

What was the problem Tony?
We found that anyone who could not see the Capri in the spinning showroom could also not join online if a Capri was already on track running or turned up after they had joined. They would get a CTD. |

Ah! Now I understand the problem. I was thinking that there was a problem with the car physics on track, but could not quite fathom how that could be if my Capri was driving OK. Not that you would expect me to fathom anything computer related  |

I have installed my G25/G27 and I am all set to go on my old PC but when I try to download the car/track files for the Christmas Special the web site says “something appears to be missing” (the key provided...) and I see that Norton has blocked it as “Dangerous Website Blocked”  so not having much luck with this one. I have to save the files on my new PC and transfer them on a memory stick to my old one. However I did manage to download the Capri update. BTW I hope all had a good Christmas Day despite COVID19.

Unfortunately we don't have a feature like that here  But we could ask drivers to post their bestest times  |

Well my best time at this track is 3:17. But that was in UKGPL and using a '67 Ferrari 312, so maybe not really relevant. Now I have to forget my practice with the dodgy Capri and start again with the somewhat different Alfa  . |

In testing (with full fuel) I recorded the following times
Opel - 3:56
Chevrolet - 3:57
BMW - 3:58
Alfa - 3:58
I dare say that faster drivers will shave 3 to 4 secs of these times.
Remember that time can be lost with clumsy pit stops so practice those.
Also need to remind drivers that they only get to do one hot lap in qualifying!
