UKGTL Season 6 Season 6 GT Classics Cup - Snetterton (1964) - Nov 13

EDIT - Would an Elite/JagMk2/Abarth race work here? That went down well last season somewhere didn't it?

Sounds good to me.

In short,no  Funnily enough I did a race with Abarths, Jags and Minis around here last week and the length of the straights left time for forty winks.

So far, I like my choice (brilliant ) and the 914 suggestion. I will see if I can find a match for the 914 but we are still open to ideas.

914's -v- 65 Corvette's

That'll work

we are still open to ideas.

Shelby GT350 - v - Renault Alpine   -  The Shelby might just have the edge, but the Alpine will be easier & more consistent.

or

Porka 914 - v - 'Light weight' Cwapi - v - 'Light weight' Pantera   - Seems a good match up with AI drivers

Why not include the lower powered Beemer too?

Good question 
I left it out because when we raced the 'lower powered' cars at Goodwood, I seem to remember that the Beemer seemed considerably better then the other two (which was confirmed by the number driven on the day). Also, the AI test I did, didn't seem to flag it up as being as even as the other three.

Fair enough.

I was not at Silverstone, though I watched the replay. I think the car choice here may be better
than credit is being given, if SIlverstone was a "norm"
I really do not like the 906, The only Porch I lik eis the 914? the little mid engine one.
I don't really like driving any of the rear engine ones, 'cept maybe Abarth, and Renault
I find the 906's engine braking a sure fire spin generator, and always forget about it
until I'm flying off the track.
My own times here in GT40 are the same as 906, with the M1A I'm two secs quicker
(low 32's in M1A, 34's maybe high 33's in 906 /GT40) So seems an obvious choice
But, if the M1A becomes horrid after 20 laps, then the others will catch up again
So far they are all horrible after 20 laps to me. v

I've tried a few of the suggested combos now and, to paraphrase Cloughie, I found out I was right all along The 914, Cwapri and Panty are around the same pace (and near the GT40) but they don't thrill me, the 914 is a nasty beast with some tyre wear. I've tried some GTC combos including the Shelby, Elan etc but after much deliberation I think we should stick with the GT, Mclaren, 906 combo. For me, this has a bit for everyone and should make an exciting season denouement.

If it goes wrong, errr blame Pseudo

Excellent, excellent......

I love the possibility to use different cars (those that actually never had been choosed)

Is this event open to everyone as I'm champing for some online action?  I've tried a few pickup races and am impressed by how solid the multiplayer seems to be - one thing though, I've not unlocked all the cars, is there a simple way I can do this other than using one of the cars in the skin pack?

I can see that there may have to be some Hiki Waza painted skins painted ready for the next season

Shame on you Ian, I love the little 914, just a shame it rarely gets used (hint hint for next season   )
