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 every-one's connection will be reduced.
(6) Remember that P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function, but our gentleman's agreement is that everyone will stick to a speed limit for the pit-lane of 40mph/60kph.

[Legzy]

Only cars of token values between 3 & 12 tokens will be used at this event (see list above for quick ref).



Clubmans & Tokens quick guide (see bottom for full details)

• All drivers get a Tokens budget for the season
• The faster the driver, the less Tokens they get
• The better the car, the higher it's Tokens cost is to use in a race
• If you do not attend the race, you will lose a predetermined individual quantity of your Tokens (equal to races "Suggested Token Spend")
• Trust me, you do not want to run out of Tokens before the final race! ****

I am so looking forward to this 

[Legzy]

EXTRA INFO:(Repeated) I'm sure you've noticed I've made a bit of a tweak to the system. I've done this because I want to encourage people to take the chance to drive the different levels of fantastic cars that PnG has to offer.

I could be wrong, but it seemed like we were all almost afraid to splash out on anything more lavish then an Elan (13 tokens)!!! For some of the faster guys it's very hard to splash out as they obviously have smaller budgets, while maybe some of the guys with bigger budgets didn't want to splash out & find themselves up front on their own . So I have worked out some affordable 'token ranges' for each of the final four races of this test/fun season:

Race 4) Edmonton     = 7 to 16 Token cars
Race 5) Watkins Glen = 12 to 20 Token cars
Race 6) Mid-America = 0 to 9 Token cars
Race 7) Riverside       = 3 to 12 Token cars

Some drivers may immediately be concerned that they "can't afford a car for the Watkins tokens range"... don't worry, you can .
To go with the 'token ranges', I have also worked out a "Suggested Token Spend" for each person, for each race. You don't have to stick to your "Suggested Token Spend", but if you're close to it, you should be about on pace with most other people (= improved close racing) & finish the season on budget .

Cheers
Legzy

p.s. Please remember that you get nothing for finishing the season with tokens to spare, but you will suffer badly if you spend more then your budget

Any idea what the lap time should be around here?

Ta

[Paul968]

A simple way to get a rough idea is to set up a race weekend full of AI controlled cars set at 110%. You may need to do this a few times to avoid anomolies, but you will soon see what pace the different cars can acheive.

[Clive Loynes]

Thanks Paul,

Will do.

Hope there is a fast forward button.

[Paul968]

there is an accelerate time button top right.

[phspok]

Initial testing:

2:13.2 in ATCC
2:11.4 in L72

[Clive Loynes]

The AI method gave a similar result first time.

2:11 in a Corvette of some description.

My first outing yielded a 2:13 in the Daytona Coupe but if I could get it to turn right at the banking I think I can do better.

[Legzy]

PM sent to you Clive with a link to HERE that might hopefully help you get that car turning how you want.

[Clive Loynes]

Thanks Chris,

It's never going to turn how I want it to but I have made the front row of the grid in the AI race.

i may be being a bit thick here but have i got 6 or 10 tokens left to spend? At Mid america my token column said 12 + 4 ..i used 6 there so hence the question as dont know whether ive used the +4 part

Nobody here will ever accuse you of being a bit thick Mark
Everyone's Token totals have now been updated. The total's now displayed, include the bonus 4 tokens I gave you all a few races back.
So you have 10 tokens available to spend for this race Mark.

[Mark J]

coolio, cheers Legz, means some better motors for 'thickie' to choose from
