Problems connecting to the Lobby? Download this:All members welcomePractice 1: 19:20 (~60 mins) Qual 2: 20:20 (20 mins) Race: 20:40 ( 25 laps (~40mins)) note: no warmup!Cars allowed: 911 IROCWeather: DryTrack: Birmingham GP ( Barber Long) (v1.0.0.0, download HERE ) Time of Day Setting: 12:00 Start: STANDINGMinimum Pit-stops: None required. Server: UKPnG2.1 S2 Single Password: see aboveNotes:(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.

Welcome to Round One of the " Shot Glass Challenge". Here you will be able to enjoy seven rounds of singles or doubles.... & as you can see from the post above, Week one is at Barber GP (Birmingham) in the 911 IROC's. Basically this will be a series of single or duel spec races... Where if my PC keeps crashing on me mid race, I'll be needing a double or two! . Weather & "x2" tyre/fuel will be used in "Doubles" races.

One of my favorite cars in P&G. I'm not sure if I can make this one. It's far in advance, but I've already got a meeting scheduled. Hopefully the partner will cancel. I barely made it to Goodwood. Maybe I can do the same here?

Sooooo predictible; everyone will obviously turn up in the fastest car (the black one) and we'll have close racing throughout the field. Can everyone remember to start this time

You are right Geoffers, it's a lovely car, but indeed we must adapt to its special driving behavior.

"Black one" ... I didn't know there were differences in the cars. I thought it was supposed to be a spec series in the states. I've been driving the white one all this time.

Just love it when someone takes me seriously Thinking about this, in real life the number of coats required for a finish might vary depending on the colour and thus affect the weight slightly. Certainly with 50's Fender guitars (which used Dupont cellulose car paints) the black ones had fewer layers. Some say as a result they sound better - guess what colour guitars I prefer Now if PnG were to replicate this, I'd be very impressed

I might skip this one. I can't drive it. I spun two, three times at each lap. Quite frustrating to be honest.

It makes a massive difference to the feel. I've just discovered that although I thought I've been using it for the last 6 months, in fact I wasn't because I hadn't run the exe properly. It's worth checking, because I could never see what all the fuss was about the IROC until just now and was completely useless in it.
