Prototype Potluck Round 2
The BOAC (1)50.0


Welcome to Round 2 of the Prototype Potluck series - after the relatively open and fast Spa we now dive into the woods in Kent for 150 miles of abuse on the Brands Hatch GP circuit. This is our version of the (early) 1960's world championship 'BOAC 500' events, but I didn't think you guys would be too keen on 6 hours worth of racing...
(Random fact - the race would remain the BOAC 500 regardless of actual length for the entirety of BOAC's sponsorship into the early 70's)

Keep in mind the advice from last time regarding driving to your own and your competitors cars strengths and weaknesses and this one should turn out to be quite a close challenge. Gearing will be your biggest challenge here given that these cars mostly raced at very high speeds.

Extra Kudos to those who play their Joker here - especially if you can match Pedro Rodríguez's performance from the 1970 running and win by 5 laps over the rest of the field (Other 917's and the 512's included).
Here's some video to get you into the mood: https://youtu.be/K0YCGF3ncEY

Qualifying etiquette
To match most race events of the late 60's we are having a combined 1 hour practice and qualifying.
Due to this the track will contain drivers who are practising and setting up and also drivers who are running a qualifying lap.
If you are on a hot lap please turn your headlights on - and remember to turn them off again once finished.
If you are simply practising or working on setups please keep your headlights off and try not to hold up drivers who are on hot laps if you can avoid it - you'll want them out of your way when it's your own turn to try and qualify. Wink

Please note that the start time has been moved slightly forward from our traditional time - this is to allow the race to finish at a similar time to normal

Practice/Qualifying: 19:00 (60 mins)
Race                  :  20:00 (62 laps)

Cars allowed:

Drivers must either post their car choice here or PM it to me by 18:00(UK time) on Tuesday the 14th. This is so I can ensure the server has the correct numbers of cars available. You can inform me in advance if you wish to do so.
Drivers who have posted/sent their preference will get priority, so turning up without 'booking' your car could result in your being being removed from the server to make room for someone who has booked. You will then have to rejoin in something that is available whether you have practised in it or not.
You can see my own car choice listed in the Series announcement thread.

Ford GT40
Porsche 908LH
Ferrari 330 P4
Porsche 917k

I have a framed original poster from this event at Brands Hatch in the 1970's (12th April to be precise).

Just saying.

I ve just done a few laps. Brands will be hell.
Very challenging, no time to relax and smoke a bit on straight like in Spa.
Advice: assign keys for pit-stop controls. And take care about your gearbox.

Not such a good idea in VR though....

There are a couple of events over at simracing.gp that might be of interest for those looking to get some practice in.

90 minutes of GT40 vs 330 P4 at Mugello on Saturday....

https://beta.simracing.gp/events/Hxqj0gkVgUgU5cNgN_fht

60 minutes of Ginetta GT4s at Brands on Sunday (as I doubt there will be any racing here)....

https://beta.simracing.gp/events/nVX94mw1eIh3UHquaOLj_

I think you might have to be premium at Race Dept for the Ginettas but at least that keeps the nutters away.

Or keeps them away from the rest of us! 60mins in the Ginetta, youve got to be mad....(Cant access the link... my first thought was the ACC GT4 Ginetta!)

this would be exhaustingly epic to race.  tt1  Love the old BOAC 500 posters and reading about those races. Sadly it clashes with my Xmas Porsche cup endurance at Sebring in my regular series so will have to pass  Cry

Enjoy yourselves in my local woods  thumbup1

330 for me please.
GT40 and 908 seem to be far behind on that track. IMHO.
