Sorry for the late notice guys. I have been busy with work and the house. The good news is I'm better prepared for the remainder of the season. It's a simple track that most should be familiar with. It will be action packed with the 911.

I love the National layout....no long boring straights to fall asleep on This should be a very nice challenge in the RSR with plenty of overtaking opportunities, though sadly I think my practice time will be fairly limited too.

I can't believe we have one race a fortnight & we're wasting it on IROC's at Silverstone National Rubbish track missing out the best bits, that I was lucky enough to never experience till about 3 months back & this'll unbelievably be the 3rd race there since in SROUK As for single spec racing... in a Porka... I think for the 2nd time in about two years, I'm going to sit out a UKPnG race by choice. The last one being the Mini's race just a month ago. Why pick these extreme cars for single spec races! A handful of people will be over the moon, the rest... While we're on a roll, lets look in detail at the track... A decent right hander, onto a straight, into an almost hairpin, onto a straight, into a hairpin, in to a hairpin, onto the home straight. I struggle to imagine a duller track. Right, I'm off to take my medicine, get off my soap box & calm down.

Practice Server StartedWith what I "think" is the intended version and layout. i.e Not the 70s one, the one that is "Northampton National" Legz, it's "on a roll" Well you know how much I lovehate Pigs. So it's hardly my favourite car and the track is "ok" worked well for GTs caterhams. I did a few laps and it's boring for hot lapping, but may be a fun race, as these odd combos often turn out to be. 1:03.0 so far BTW p.s Why is it whenever we run Coleopterophile events, out biggest beetle protagonist never turns up bad show old boy, bad show.

Just spent an hour driving this car for the first time, brilliant fun. It's how I imagined a Porka would be, not like that horrible IROC. Needed quite a bit of setup adjustment to be able to get the power down without it going sideways, but gradual tweeks have made it much better, just need to tweek the brake bias a bit more to stop it locking the fronts & poughing straight on. I must be one of the few who enjoys the short Silverstone track, should make a good race. Just ahead of Matt at present, 1.02.8.

Nice combo Hope to make this one. Cap7 and I were racing these at the NG race at Reims last week and it was an absolute blast, drafting aplenty and swapping places every lap. Watched the Carrera Cup here as part of the BTCC package last year and it was action packed. I intended to have a quick 20 min practice (which actually turned into an hour before I noticed!) and came up with a 1:01.7.

The cars OK but that track is so short and torturous. But as GT says it should create crashes overtaking opportunities. Haven't decided yet if I'll bother which is a shame

Don't see anything wrong with the track. It's nice and flat for a start! I hadn't tried the RSR before, or the track for that matter, but I have watched enough TC action on the telly to know where it was going. I found the car to be the most responsive to setup changes of all the PnG cars. That's not to say that I've made any great use of them but changing the diff certainly had an effect. I shall start the ball rolling for human times with a 1:03.375 and at 1.6sec behind John that's probably as far as I shall get! I have done a 3.1 in TT mode but that lets you start with all the tyres at full temperature. (It's in your inbox Bill) Qually is going to be a struggle as tyres take about three to four laps to reach working temperature for me.

let some air out of them, they warm up when they slide about more plus more camber to get some heat into the inside edges. If fronts are too cold, try adjusting your brake bias forwards so that when you hit the anchors, again more heat into them
