Click image for larger picture Grid/server capacity: 15Track: Spa-Francorchamps Cars allowed: 3 No. in each of the five car groups. Cars not allocated: 0 (Further entries will still be accepted if made before Dec. 22nd) Practice: ~18:00 GMT (60 mins) Qualifying: 19:00 GMT (15 mins) One attempt at a timed lap onlyRace: 19:15 GMT (36 laps) All times are GMT Time of Day Setting: 15:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: x2Fuel consumption: NormalPit stops: RequiredServer: simracing.org.uk XMAS Password: see aboveNotes: (1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage. (2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules. (3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read Autopit="0" Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable. Special Notes: The flag man is full of Christmas good cheer and drops the flag too early. To avoid a DQ for false start please make sure you have auto countdown on.

Car Group choice
Each Car Group has been assigned four random number's (between 01-20) which will not change and are known only to myself.
Beginning at 14:00 (GMT) on Sunday, November 1st, drivers wishing to take part, will send me a pm containing one number (01-20). Pm's received will be dealt with on a strict, first come, first served, basis. Pm's received before 14:00 (GMT) on November 1st will be ignored.
On receipt of your number, I will assign you your Car Group. If the chosen Car Group is full, you will be placed in the next available Car Group determined by adding 1 to your given number (and repeated until a free Car Group space is able to be allocated).
This process will repeat until Fourteen Car Group places have been allocated or we reach December 23rd (whichever occurs soonest).
I will take my choice from any un-allocated Car Group places
I will release the Car/Track pack and the Driver's Car Group roster detailing which driver's are in each Car Group, by December 23rd (or sooner, if possible).
You are basically racing against the other driver's in your Car Group but obviously there will be an overall results table as well.

I can hardly think of any good reason why any of the other competitors would invest time in preparing for this race in their pathetic limping machinery as I clearly foresee a glorious 1, 2, 3 for Clive , Andy and myself in our brilliant Capris !
Merry Christmas everyone, Dan

Pah, hardly worth turning up if I'm only racing for 4th place.

I fear that my involvement has been sabotaged even before it starts Dan!! Currently downloading the car/track pack on a high spec PC with 500mb internet connection and I am being told that it will take 2hrs+??!! Surely the file isn't that big?? As for posting about any probs this PM, as requested by his lordship Mr Tony, I shall be lucky to try it out before Boxing Day

Took me around 7-8 mins to download. This is going to be proper endurance racing, taking care of the car. The BMW engine won't last if driven flat out, need to change up early & not take it to the limiter all the time.

Rog is having some problems with the Ford Capri.
Anyone else having a problem if they try to drive it?

Thanks Dan. He doesn't see any of the Capri's in the spinning showroom, so I think it's problem unique to him.
