TEAM UPDATE

For the race against Trellet this Sunday we have only 8.5 volunteers thus far, Bernie has indicated that he may not make the early start.  

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, I am hoping that some of the Masters/Division 1 drivers will come forward


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.

I am aware that drivers from the clubmans division have been brave enough to volunteer for this and I am very grateful, but I would prefer to save you guys for a race against more equal opposition and spill the green blood of some of our more seasoned campaigners against the Flying Finns. To be honest I am not sure that I am worthy of a spot against these guys and if I get enough alien blood to come forward I will certainly step aside and cheer from the stands..

Lotus     Art le Marquand
Eagle     Phil Thornton
Ferrari    Lorenzo Galluzzi
Braham   Kruger Enge
Honda    Clive G
Cooper   Rob Burton 
Cooper   Hristo Itchov
BRM                                 Bernie...... ....just in case you cannot make it Bernie I will make you a reserve
BRM      Jack O'Ferrall
 
I have decided that the in order to give everyone who will be  involved a fair chance to practice in their allocated chassis, I will set a cut off point at noon on Saturday.
A final team sheet will be posted around that time.

hi ,

i should be able to do it ... but i wont drive the fezza.

john

[Mike Wrightson]

Sunday you say?  I'll have a go 

I like the Honda, but something faster is not a problem as long as it isn't the "got no brakes" Eagle

[RIKBRIANT]

Hi Mike,
can you pls mail me at:-
[email protected]
Id say more, but I'm afraid Id have to shoot everyone who reads this 

[EvilClive]

Thanks Mike,  I have pencilled you in for the Honda at the moment.


Thanks John  I know you have used the Cooper in Masters but I might give you something a little quicker ( but not the Fez ).


Just waiting and watching for any late volunteers before finalising Team/chassis etc. at about midday today.

[Brendan]

I'd be willing to help out if you get really, really desperate.

Not sure how much use I'd be without any practice though.

[Phil Thornton]

hi ,

How about the Eagle John?  I'll swap if you like.  I'm happy with either chassis (it's the slow ones that I prefer to avoid).

[EvilClive]

Thanks to everyone who had stepped forward for this race.

Below is the team I have selected to represent UKGPL in the challenge race with the Finnish Trellet league, which I suspect will be very quick at the front as several of their team are in the final stages of the World Cup Series.

The race will be hosted on the [flash=200,200]VROC UKGPL 1 server [flash]
Please be in the IGOR UKGPL chatroom by 6:55 pm  UK time Sunday 14th September
30mins qually starts at 7:00 pm UK time
Race starts at 7:30 UK time

Race is 67 mod
Race length 25 laps ( 50 mins)
Pro rules (so no Shift-R's)

This is a Team Race so it is total points that count not necessarily the first across the line. It is better to finish the race than risk gaining a position and ending up as part of the French countryside.

We have 3 names for reserves...
If these 3 drivers are in the chatroom and one of the designated drivers has not materialised with 10 mins of qualification time remaining I will select the reserve best suited to the empty seat and they will join the race. Or before if I receive word that someone cannot make it.

Can all UKGPL drivers wear RED helmets for easier identification.

I hope I have selected a chassis which everyone is comfortable with If there are any really strong objections please yell asap and it might be possible to swap things around if mutually agreeable.


Good Luck to all

[Mike Wrightson]

I'll have a practice tonight, TBH if I can get near 2 mins I will be happy.

Rik, I'll email tonight

"Can all UKGPL drivers wear RED helmets for easier identification."

sorry if i'm being thick ..(also pointing it out to others that don't read the full messages)

is that a option in igor ?

john

[john roberts]

i belive the option only works with the original 2d carset .

sorry about this 2nd post .

john

[Phil Thornton]

Yes it is an option in IGOR and I believe you're right about the 2D limitation but its on the helmets not the carset.  I'll try and dig out some instructions and post them here.

[Mike Wrightson]

Heh, so far I'm at 2:03, still a bit off yet.  I've been using the G25's shifter, but I've now gone back to paddles in the interests of reliability 

[Phil Thornton]

Clive, please can you amend your post (I can't do it I don't have the necessary admin rights).  We're still on 1.ukgpl and VROC as originally posted.
