UKGPL Season 16 - Inter-League race - Rouen
This is the first race in our Inter-League season. Our guests will be a Finnish league, Trellet. Each league is to field nine cars, and there are no chassis handicaps, drivers will be racing to complete the distance and score points for their team. Note the early start time- the international nature of these races means that the start will vary, but also there's a MotoGP race from the United States later in the evening of the 14th. When we planned this race the World Cup semifinals seemed to be organised for Sept 28th, however they will be run earlier on this date, so Trellet may be less strong than they would otherwise be. Let's give them a big welcome, particularly any drivers who've also had to race earlier in the day.
Please be in VROC UKGPL chatroom by 6:55 p.m. VROC and Race passwords: see above

I could take part in this race - I'd like to race in a Brabham or Ferrari possibly.

I will be there as well. Brabham, Eagle, Ferarri or Lotus but to be honest any chassis you guys want me to drive. Not too hot in Coop, BRM or Honda but will do my best if you wish me to drive any of em.

Count me in Clive. When can you tell us what chassis we can have? I like the quicker chassis but that doesn't mean I'll be up at the front so you might want to give the faster chassis to the quick drivers to guarantee a win. Whatever chassis I get I'll need to do some praccy in it

Phil, when we run team races, does it necessarily mean that the team whose driver wins the race is a winner overall? If that's the case then I agree, put fast drivers in fast chassis. I thought that the winning team is the one that has better overall result, when observing all drivers. I.e. if you counted points earned by all drivers... in this case, its better to have fast drvers in slower chassis and vice versa.

Thanks Phil I think Kruger has it right. Points are scored by all drivers, so finishing is important. I am hoping to get a few more names today and allocate chassis tonight. I assume that you might prefer the Eagle Phil?

Well my bold comrades, once more and nobly to the arena of derring-do, and none so valiant as your humble Jack O'Ferrall! In an age when chivalry is not dead, it is said that a gallant has yet not been known to revel and quaff, should he not have quaffed and revelled among the Finns!

For the race against Trellet this Sunday we have only 9 volunteers thus far.
This is a TEAM event and we need to get all 9 cars across the finish line to score as many points as possible.
I would like to have a pool of 11 drivers to give at least 2 reserves available on the evening just in case someone cannot connect/get time off/ falls ill or whatever. Trellet are going to be a tough challenge for our first race and we really need all the "fast talent" that we have to be in with a chance.
At the moment we have the following drivers and I have allocated the chassis I think will give us a competitive team. If there are any strong objections or late volunteers and a mutual swap can be agreed then we will revise the list.
Lotus Art le Marquand Eagle Phil Thornton Ferrari Lorenzo Galluzzi Braham Kruger Enge Honda Clive G Cooper Rob Burton Cooper Hristo Itchov BRM Bernie BRM Jack O'Ferrall
The Qually will start at 7 pm UK time Sunday, with the race starting at 7:30 pm UK time Please be in the UKGPL chat room for 6:55 pm.
Remember this race is PRO rules so NO SHIFT R's it is more important to finish, rather than trash an engine trying to keep up with an alien.
