All members welcome. Special Notes: 1) There are no start lights, instead there are "authentic" starting marshals who wave a green flag to mark the start of the race. 2) The pole sitter can't see any of these marshalls without using the "look left" feature.Practice: 20:15 (10 mins) Qualifying: 20:25 (25 mins) Race: 20:50 (25 laps = ~40 mins) Track: Snetterton 1964 v1.3 (download here) Cars allowed: Ferrari 275, Austin Healey, Mercedes 300SL, Shelby GT350 Time of Day Setting: 6:00 Start: STANDINGServer: UKGTL Classics Cup 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) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page(4) The season will be run using the UKGTL Skin Pack 1.4 which will need to be installed prior to racing; please get it from the downloads page.

I have not decided on the car list yet. If it's possible if anyone has a spare night either tonight or Saturday could they try the following GTC-65 cars at this track and post relative lap times... 1) Austin Healey 3000 2) Chevlrolet Corvette 3) Ferrari 275 GTB 4) Jag E-Type 5) Lotus Elan 6) Mercedes 300SL 7) Shelby Daytona Coupe 8) Shelby GT350 9) TVR Griffith 400
Thanks in advance to anyone that has the time to try these cars.

Had a try of some, benchmarked to E-type. Started with E-type, 12 laps to reacquaint with track, then 5 timed lap for each of the others. I'm no expert in any, jack of all trades, so should be reasonably representative.
Shelby Daytona -2.0 Corvette -1.4 E-type +0.0 Ferrari +1.6 Healey +1.8
Merc would be close to Healey, since this is a real power circuit, and Healey run out of steam. TVR should be pretty close to Shelby GT350, around Ferrari maybe, lot more grunt and Ferrari lacks torque. Elan needs benchmarking, anyone's guess.
But I'm outta time, gotta go cook, may get a chance tomorrow morning if no-one else does.

No problem Simon.
In fact, grabbed time to lap Elan and got -0.8 compared to E-type. Not enough twisties for the tin foil wonder to gain time on the V8s!

What if you took out the fast cars, Daytona, Griffith, maybe Elan, Corvette and maybe even E-type too?
That would leave a race between Healey Ferrari Mercedes Shelby GT350
This way the differences in cars wouldn't be so big. I'd say there is no way to compensate when driving the slower cars, if you're driving against Daytona and Griffith. Only way to beat the faster cars is if they spin *multiple* times.
Just a thought, feel free to reject it.
Personally I enjoy the Daytona a lot, and out of the slow ones the Ferrari is pretty nice too, bound to get sideways a lot towards the end of the race in both.

Mike's suggestion would work, I got times for the other 2 'slow' cars:
GT350 +2.1 Merc +2.4
so all within 0.8s. I'd happily take the Merc for a change, it was really stable to drift too.
Of course the fast V8s would all match up well too, so it's up to the boss!

Thanks guys. Car list now confirmed in original race post. Ultimately I think the E-Type would be quite a lot quicker than the other 4 cars so it's not really fair to use it.

Quite! What a fantastic beast it is. If only I'd not taken the Mustang for Oulton, too similar, need more variety, and I've never driven the Merc in more than a 5-lapper before. This is probably one of the few tracks where it can be moderately competitive. Besides, it was the only one I couldn't get below 1:40, so that presents a nice challenge! I think the standard (non-lightweight) fastback E-type might be fair, I'm usually a few 10ths quicker in the Ferrari than that, but there isn't any way to exclude the lightweights is there?

Nope, the car filtering doesn't go that far unfortunately.

Anybody else got some times? This track is not listed on either gtlrank or nogrip. I've only driven Ferrari and my best so far is a 1.39.4.

Family visit means I can't make this one. Have fun and see you in The Netherlands next week.
