None of this is meant as criticising Legz and Tony
That's cool, none of it feels like criticism this week, more like a discussion.
I quite agree with MJ. I would have been at the sharp end in the 350 at race pace but couldn't get within a second in the Stang.
I'm not fussed who's at the sharp end, as long as it's not the same drivers every week. Only Ayrton has been in the 'top seven' in both races & he's proving to be a very strong driver & taking the fastest car available to him. So my choices are:
a) I make the slowest group of cars even slower by comparison to the rest.
b) The very best drivers like Ayrton select cars that they're maybe not quite so fast in from that group (that would be a big ask, as they are doing nothing wrong
).
If I go with a) then everybody in that group suffers & people will need to start being demoted from it or they wont be able to keep up.
With b) I know that Paul for example, didn't pick the car he was fastest in at Laguna, but seeing some of the other fastest drivers still taking their fastest cars & disappearing, maybe tempted him that way this time
.
Either way, if at the next race, the very best drivers still prove to be considerably faster then the rest of the group,
I will solve that for race Four .
Having said that, I know from experience that it is a next too impossible job categorising cars due to differing driver ability, and an even less thankful job trying to categorise drivers too.
LOL, where were you when I signed up for this LOL
Cheers Psuedo
IMO, with it being a clubmans championship, ie relying heavily on folk 'doing the right thing' and selecting appropriate cars, it could be best if the top two or three drivers post their average times for a track as early as possible b4 the race
Spot on & yes the earlier I get times off the fastest guys for a range of cars, the sooner I can confirm the groupings. Paul has been an amazing help for me with this.
Great result for the VDA team
You're not kidding! Seems I've underestimated our new Italian friends!
Practice 1: 20:00 (20 mins) (Aim is to see if a longer praccy session effects the number of CTD's experienced)
Thanks, I got CTD rejoining for practice - AGAIN.
Thanks Bill. The same happened to Oily & Lazlow very late in qually I believe. Anybody else?
This was the 1st race in P&G where I've been able to take a car I like...
Really sad/shocked to hear that. In our group (we're in the same one), I'm trying to make it so we've got a choice of about seven cars. I didn't realise there were seven bad to drive cars in the whole of P&G! LOL
I would not normally be battling with TT lap after lap, and would certainly not normally
qual in front of MJ, so mostly I give it a
I believe that things will become even closer as we do more races, Legz'nTony are
well aware of the inconsistencies, and will sort it as well as anyone can.
If I had more praccy time, I would probably do better, as it is I just have
to see what happens.
Cheers Matt, really happy you're enjoying it & 'getting' what the aim is (same for all the other massages of thanks/well done) & I agree that it's going to get better/closer as we adjust.
