The little cars will do well here. If Marco runs the Abarth I expect him to be amazing. Ayrton and Manteos too. Here are some results from a race I did here a while ago in the Mini. Eduardo Prado is an amazing driver and Gary Tautfest is also very quick driver who happened to stumble on a very quick car through poor finishes. http://www.nasasimracing.com/schedule/show_event/5350#results |

Wish I was in the group that could run a Cortina though. I might have missunderstood the rules, but unless you're in the top five from last race, you are free to drive the Cortina Tony ! Am I rigth ? Stig / Hotkeys |

Err its all in the first post. There are three classes and what you can drive is dependant on where youve been finishing. You need to refer to the spreadsheet link in the first post.
If its your first race you are limited to the slowest group

I think that Spanner has it right there. His outing at Charade has earned him a place in the green group, from where he can drive any car from any of the groups. Hotkey's outing at the previous two rounds has lost him the GTA 1600 as he has moved up to the orange band and new starters (ie Tony) start in yellow with all the other potential aliens.  |

No worries, I tested the Lotus Elite last night and really enjoyed the drive, putting in a best time of 1:03.5

I'm enjoying the ankle biters here but the pit exit is a bit lethal for a race where everyone has to pit.

got some laps in this eve after semi recovering from CLM.  Did laps in the TR4 (1:02s). Elite (1:03s early) and Abarth (1:03s late) Not sure which to take yet. TR4 is fastest but thirstiest, other two are good fun to drive and... (yawn) economic  |

I'll join for some practice Legzy ..... curious to check out laptimes. I've been doing as low as 1.01.33, but that was a one off  mostly I get laps just below 1.02.00. Laptimes / starting position is not important for my race. I can't hit the top 3 in the quali anyway, so I prefer starting at the rear of the grid. I'll try to stay away from trouble early in the race and then avoid making mistakes for the next 55 min . Can't really figure out what tyres to use for the Alfa Junior -will the soft tyres last a full hour ? CU tonight Stig |

I'm glad that you asked that question Stig, because I too have a lone 1:01.3 and have been beating my brains out trying to match it for a couple of days. Thanks to your question I have just realised that I had dropped back to my older setup which was on the harder tyres. 1:01.8 is my best effort on the harder tyres but to get back to your question; whilst they may last I don't think that they will be very effective. At Charade I felt that I would have been better off changing my fronts instead of trying to do the whole race on the one set of the harder tyres. That being the case, I don't think that I stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting to the finish at Crystal Palace on the softer tyres without changing at least the fronts. The front left is the one doing all the work on my car. The front right is still cold after ten laps. Hope to do some testing with you good folks tonight. PS Where can I put a fiver on Peppe for pole with something close if not under a 60 second lap? No pressure Peppe mate!  |

I'm willing to bet Marco may crack the 60 second mark.

LOL Ah yes. Another handicap bandit. There is lelero to consider as well but Peppe has the 1600 Alfa to pay with. Hmmm.... Going to need a first corner like Mark Weber! |

Put a fiver on Peppe's pole position is a waste of money In Italy the bookmakers give him 1 to 50... LOL!!! Til now 1.01.4 for me in race setup with the Triumph, and 1.01.9 with Abarth, but it's seems less competitive here cause of the long straights... So, I'll choose the TR4 |
