After winning the 65 Novices Championship, its now time to get my arse kicked in the Amateurs. I'll stick with my Trusty BT11 if thats Ok. The Calender looks great, though i'm not a big Adelaide fan. However there looks to be a good mix of tracks and though my fave Rouen has now been dropped its nice to see Spa & Monza remain. Also Great to see Solitude on there. Its in my Top 10 GPL Tracks, even though i'm not too good round there. Also, regarding Solitude. The Downloaded track itself doesn't look the best graphically, however, the SMRZ button on the GPL Track Database links you to a quick graphical update that makes the track look loads better (If memory serves). Its an absolute Must. I wasn't a big fan of the track until i added it. It makes the track surface look a lot better than the original. Make sure that this is pointed out during the race thread when this one comes up please.  Cheers |

Thanks for that Clutch, I'll go hunting for that. Solitude's very fun in these cars.  |

Another sign in. Last season, with the exception of Rouen, was nothing short of a disaster. Looking to make amends in S18  . |

Don't we all!? You're too fast for BRM. Seriously, I hope this season the chassis are assigned more evenly this season. There were people with quite an advantage last season and it wasn't fun, especially at faster tracks. |

Hm, I'm not quite sure what to do here. Long races ending late at night isn't too tempting. Driving my beloved Ferrari (which I believe I would be allocated to if I were to join the Amateurs series) sure is tempting, though. The shorter races in Novices suits me better, but driving the Cooper again doesn't tempt me at all. I've tested a few other of the slower chassis this evening. Brabham BT11 was faster, but the sound of it was terribly dull compared to the Coop and the Ferrari. The BT7 was about as fast slow as the Coop, but the sound was pretty fun when I think about it. It sounded like a grinder, which in fact would be an advantage. If I turn the sound up, the neighbours would believe I was refurbishing our apartment: "That Tverberg fellow is really working hard with the refurbishing. I hear him working every evening 'till late at night!"  |

Well AT, the later finishes don't really suit me either but I'm working on the principle that I won't finish them all LOL.

It's perhaps the only advantage of the little beetle.  |
