UKPnG Season 2 - Classic Cup - Lakeside - Mar 4

Just as well cos the Mk II is not available.  .............

I think that Matt is refering to the flavours of Mk1 Healey Bill.  There is a '60 version and a '61 version.  One of the latter apparently had overdrive on 3rd and 4th to effectively give it a six speed box.  Not really needed at Lakeside.

Sounds like my 1:07.3 is ok until the tentacle brigade get going. 

[Wiltshire Tony]

Hmm the way these lap times are tumbling were approaching 35+ laps which is greater than the default fuel range for all but one of these cars.

Think I'll switch to the Cortina

[Mike Miller]

So you're saying the only car that can make it without stopping is the Cortina? If so, it will be a 1 mark field.

[Clive Loynes]

I think that I have found generally that one is able to do more laps than the game thinks you can on a tank full.

[Legzy]

Don't worry Mike... I'll sort out the race length so that all cars are equal

With love from the slopes... Well a Bar with wireless after a few well earned beers

Well the Healey is definately borderline, you could be crossing the line on fumes

[Clive Loynes]

There is every chance that I won't cross the line at all!  I'm having to be a bit brutal on the downshifts.

Just had a few laps in the Mini 1:06.72 is my best up to now (don't do what i did and use your 1310 Mini setup, you only end up with 3 gears and 4th doesn't do anything) will give the other cars a go but I'm having too much fun in the Mini

                                                                 Cheers Ade


Edit:-  Looks like a little bug with the Mini setups, if you load a hand crafted one it only gives you three gears so just drop them down a cog separately in the garage and you'll find fourth.

My lack of knowledge of the Healeys.  I've only driven the Mk II and 4 spd Mk I

[Clive Loynes]

I'm no expert either Bill.

Is it actually possible to set up an AI race with the  Healey mk1, mini 970, Ford Cortina, Abarth Gr2?

If so please do tell.

I'm down to a 1:6.8 in the Healey but want to know how the race is likely to pan out.  I've tried the mini and it feels that they will constitute a multicoloured and highly mobile chicane for the Healey to negotiate on the straight.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Sure you can. But until someone brings out Car Manager for P&G you just have to put a * in front of the .car files that you don't need so it looks like this .*car

Then you can limit the cars in each group that you don't need.

Like this Tony http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=9297

[Wiltshire Tony]

Well yes I'm sure that will do it super fine but I was thinking more http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=22345 but for P&G

[Clive Loynes]

Hmmm....

Thanks guys.

Sounds dangerous!

[Madd-RIP]

Nice time Ade, I'm about the same in the mini too, with the healey about half a second slower followed by the 'tina, not tried the Abarth yet but they're all little screamers around here!
