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.

Right... some of us might not be familiar with this track, so I've selected the shorter "North" version for this fun race & we'll use the full track later on in S2, so a good opportunity to learn half the track right here

The other question in my mind was the inclusion of the Mustang. It seems the slowest of the big big beasts, but I'm concerned that it may still have too much of an edge over the rest here . If general consensus is it's too fast(?), I'll remove it from the list.

This circuit couldn't be a bigger contrast to the l o n g straights of Le Mans 

[Mark J]

never raced here before. Interesting. Will take a look later on.

[Clive Loynes]

Don't know if I can make Thursday but can't wait to have a go at T1 in these beasts.  In GPL it's a complete bar steward!

[Manteos]

That's gonna be the first race of the new year for me! I won't miss it surely, and probably I'll race with some VDA friends... I have to test the new VDA army for P&G season 2 
About car choice, I think that the Alpine is a bit more stronger than the other listed cars in my experience of P&G, but I don't know this circuit at all... I'll give it a try with the Alfa Junior... or the TR4 I think...
I'll post some laptimes soon!

  the Alpine is a bit more stronger 

if it is, I will not drive it for sure...

good man, me neither. I will be happy to take which ever car seems least popular, as I honestly think each of these cars are sweet to drive

[Clive Loynes]

I was having so much fun in the TR4 that I was begining to wonder if it was legal!

TR4              1:22.968
Mustang        1:23.405
Alpine 1300   1:21.264

After approx 10-15 laps in each, with race fuel:

Elite 1:23.6
Cortina Mann 1:21.9
Cortina Works 1:23.7
Alfa Junior 1:24.0
Alpine 1:19.0

The Alpine is in a class of 1 here.

I'll be taking the Cortina Mann

1:19!!!! Did you find a short cut?
I expected the Alpine to be 2nd behind the Stang... But currently it's the Alpine looking too fast for the group  

[Mike Miller]

Certainly the Alpine will be the cats meow in this group. It is by far the top car in the lineup available at the R2P slow cars. We run 2X fuel there and not only is it fast, it sips fuel. It will likely be dropped over there. I'm going to drive the Mustang. I like to find ways to get the big cars to fly. Don't get stuck behind me Paul.

I've been on the practice server with Lazlow tonight & it's obvious now that the Alpine is just too quick for the rest, so I've amended the 1st post dropping the Alpine from the available choices.

On a plus note, we also found that the Abarth Gr5 & Mini 1275 are nicely on pace here with 1:22's after only a few laps... So I've added those & the Jag Mk2 (the fastest cars from the recent Donington race).

Cheers
Chris
p.s. It would be great to know what practice lap-times Mike & Matt particularly, can get out of that Jag they took at Donni, here?

Manteos is never wrong

good morning

I'm a VDA's member and a friend of Manteos is possible to participate to this contest?
