Notes:
(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 especially the rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here, 2.1 patch from here and enable terrain patch.
(4) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page
(5) Drivers are reminded that they must select ISDN as their bandwidth, otherwise the stability of everyone's connection will be reduced.
(6) Remember that P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function, but our gentlemans agreement is that everyone will stick to a speed limit for the pit-lane of 40mph/60kph.

IMPORTANT
This race will be used to continue testing our 'clubmans' idea again, does it work in the wet & further practice for the pitting procedure.

The cars chosen can be divided into 4 chassis groups:

A
Shelby Daytona, Cobra 289 Coupe barring Willment Racing Team Version (No.084), Corvette L88 Roadster, Lotus Elan, F275 Speciales.

B
Shelby GT350 CASC, any Jaguar Lightweight and Cobra 289 Roadster, Corvette L72 Coupe.

C
Shelby GT350 SCCA, Jaguar E-Type Coupe, Ferrari 275, Vette L76 Roadster.

D
Ferrari 250C, Jaguar E Type Roadster, Healey MkII (really slowest but fun), Corvette Z06, Ford Falcon Weslake Heads, Alfa Romeo Volumetrico


Our "regulars" can be, very roughly divided into Four groups. (If you're quicker then 1:49 (in the dry) in a car available to you, you might want to try another car from your group, or promote yourself & let me know)

GROUP 1 can only choose from slowest chassis group D
Ruskus, Dan Minton, Madd, Paul 968, Ginsters, PR, Steve Holmes, Jos Verstappen.

GROUP 2  can choose between chassis C and D.
Ade, Oily, [Poodle]Keith, TT, FMG, Watty, Manteos, Matt Rowe, Jose Arrogantio, MJ, Mike Cook.

GROUP 3 can choose between chassis B, C and D.
Blunder, DaveShep, Legzy, Tim Robey, Spanner, Tinman, SamB, Simon Gymer, Lazlow, Ossie, Geoffers, Ross, Purdie, Phil Gilliland, Tibernius.

The remainder, far too many to list, have a free choice. If any of that group don't fancy battling against alien types up front or don't like the fastest choice they can of course choose a slower car.  

Hope you all enjoy.

Nice group of cars again Legzy.  Not tried Oulton yet but should be fun in these in the wet !
Only prob is i am away until sunday eve so will have no chance of any praccy  ...a bit more heads up would be useful for these events for those on limited spare time 

Cobras slithering in the wet should be a handful

Totally agree buddy  .
We're just trying to put together three seasons at once while learning all kinds of new stuff, in a pretty short space of time. It's just a case of ticking things off the 'to do list' as we can  . Once the season starts, most things should be well under control & more normal length 'warning periods' will be resumed (I hope, because my Mrs is going to kill me if I remain this occupied for much longer!)  .

I did wonder! Best get painting pronto boyee 

Great track choice though, I understand this is supposed to be a corker for the PnG cars....looking forward to it.

I'm still dragging out my side of the 'DIY in exchange for my Playseat' deal the Mrs & me had. 
But had to show willing the other day & tidied the room up, shuffled the furniture round & did some prep work... that should keep her happy for a few weeks

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh boyyyyyyyyyyy....really nice Master Legzy, i can't wait for this race.

 

[Manteos]

I'm ready for a new PnG event!!! When i have some minutes to make some laps i'll post my times Wet race with Png could be very interesting! See you soon!

[Jos Verstappen]

as far as I have experienced, wet track doesnt have that much effect on these cars.

think those old tires could cope better with rain then modern slicks.

Because those old tires aren't slicks, they all had - how you say in English? - tears?

"tread" or "grooves" - but I like the idea of tears in the wet.

I going to play in the puddles at Oulton Park, I have server running for practice should anyone
care for a splash. The more the merrier, as I would like to try this server now it seems to be running
more normally.
