The doors of the Spec Racing Asylum are now open to the misguided lunatics. For anyone who is new to the format the event consists of two back to back Intermediate Short races on the same track. Each driver has to drive one car in each race - start whichever you like. Anyone mad enough to drive the same car will be disqualified from race two. This weeks choice of chariot is the Lotus 33 v Braham BT11. Spec Races is the only championship with no handicapping - its down to individual driver skill & the ability to cope with different cars. Last year we had enough entrants for 2 championships - the Light Brigade & the Heavy Brigade. As it worked out most race nights were run on one grid & its just one championship table this season. The Spec Series will be run according to normal UKGPL rules, although only reported incidents will be moderated. (Please file reports by the Friday after race night). Unlimited resets (Shift R) are allowed and you must take a Stop & Go penalty unless another driver or warp was clearly responsible for your misfortune. Stop & Go means coming to a complete halt in (or around) your pit box - please be careful on the rejoin not to impede other cars. The intention is to be a little less serious than the dedicated mod championships - have as much fun as you can within the rules. We'll kick things off at Imola. For years the San Marino Grand Prix was crafty plan by the Itailians to get two races. Good thing to because it is a great circuit that has some of the coolest named corners ever; Tamborello, Paratella, Aqua Minerali. Its Sunday Evening - naff all on the TV, the wife / girlfriend / mum wants to talk about Christmas shopping - C U ON TRACK.

Are we running 2 separate grids or we don't have enough drivers?

I believe there are still only 18 signed up this season for spec (so far), so I understand it to be 1 grid.

Another disastrous outing. The first race was.....interesting, and was certainly not short of action. I had several offs and mistakes to on-route to 8th. The 2nd race, the same story really. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm warping on track without me knowing because several drivers seemed to drive into my path without realising I was there. This isn't an internet issue for a change, it's my laptop with the flickering "S" bar so I'm thinking I am being a hazard to others once my laptop slows. Anyway, going to check the replay to see if my theory is true. If it is, then I'm going to have to stick with the stock 67s. Hope the rest of you had a great race .

I had just wished Bernie good luck with his connection for these races and........................ I get one of those f***#'!!** malware attacks that tells you "You are under attack from a virus" " everything is infected" and nothing will work!! But really it is just a scam to get you to pay up for the "solution"!!! Somehow it got past my anti-malware software and all my protective stuff. It took me about 90mins to track down the offending file and neutralise it....(you guys could have waited for me ) If anyone knows where I can send a hitman to kneecap the b!**@~! that put this crap out there.........................

Connection difficulties on Race 1 were due to the idiot moderator (me) getting slightly confused with the server settings. Apologies for that - & thanks to FMG I now know how to do it properly. Will post results & replays later. Appreciate warp would have made driving conditions more difficult & would suggest a general amnesty on incidents for Race 1. If, however, you feel you were impeded by someone elses driving please report in the usual fashion.
