Notes:
(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 UKGTR Rules - especially the speed limiter starting procedure.

We need to test a full grid in the wet. As with the night race, you may need to turn your graphics detail down to get decent frame rates.

Also note we are using a different password for this event, which will be announced later. Don't try using 'tba' as the password - it means "to be announced".

Monza in the wet ...you sadist    Great though, need more experience racing in the wet before the season starts 

Following around here with those spray plumes will be an interesting experience

....which I'm going to miss.... :'(

The race at Anderstorp was great, I'd definately be interested to see what hit the fps takes from a big grid in the wet.

Actually, I chose it as I think it will be a fairly easy track to learn in the wet, not many braking points. With the game just out I know people haven't had a lot of time to practise. Valencia in the wet would be sadism.

[Iain]

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

If I make it I will be in a Corvette.

Phew, i dont know mate, here we have flat out straights with real heavy braking zones....aqua-plane city here we come  Not to mention those slippery kerbs 

[Radius]

looool sending us to go faster on a track where its hard enuf already to slow down in the dry is a tiny incy bit mad! I LUV IT!!

BRING IT!!!!!! 

[Simon Gymer]

BTW best way to improve frame rates in the wet is reduce Headlights to low and Reflections to Low. You may want to reduce shadows to Medium or High as well as you probably won't see much of them in 100% rain anyway. Biggest FPS improver of that lot is headlight effect to low.

I'm gonna go with the Viper, and probably the La Force 2003 one. It has more torque, but worst tyres (Pirelli). Interesting to see where at the back I would end with that tank in the wet. I did a practice lap of 1:53.025, which feels like tortoise speed

[Don]

Any chance the Corvette could be included also please? The G2 Porsche is in there I see
Thank you.

[Aagramn]

Good point Don, I'd forgotten about that. We should be using our own versions of the GT & NGT classes which allow a few more cars like the Corvette and Morgan.

I have an enduro race at 2am - so I'm going to miss this one, let someone else play
