VERY good combo Mike, this race is bound to provide some fun racing. I foresee many mistakes ( on my part anyway ) any therefore many opportunities for overtaking Stig / Hotkeys

I'm considering joining. I've never done a rolling start. Anything I should know? Any instructions?

"I'm considering joining. I've never done a rolling start. Anything I should know? Any instructions?" Yes. go very slow at the start of lap 2 so I can pass I tried the normal GTA and the Works Locust before I knew what the cars were to be, and I had almost identical times in both. I am slightly quicker in the 1300 jnr than the proper one now Maybe just more practice is helping, but I am slower in the Tina Mann than I was in the works. Managed a high 11 in an AI race, mostly low 12s so far.

I suggest you try it out using the AI's. The best way to secure a safe start for everybody is to keep your position untill you're absolutely sure, that the there's a green light and the go without hesitating. If you're over-causious, and don't gain speed fast enough, you might end up creating a 'dangerous' situation, when cars catch up from behind. Stig / Hotkeys

Just getting from the paddock and onto the track is an adventure in itself.

Hi Syd and welcome,
Yes, I sometimes need the AI to show me how to find the track. Especially when my pit monkey tells me to go the wrong way.
Don't think that you will have much trouble with the start, as our PnG rolling starts are a lot simpler than the GTR2 version.
First thing is to remember that it is a rolling start; and don't smash into the back of the bloke in front when the lights go green. (Yes I've done that)
We all just shuffle off in grid formation with the pole man setting the pace.
You will see that the instructions on the announcement are that the "pole sitter" starts the race by gunning it out of the last corner and the race is on! Once he has done that you are at liberty to give it the beans

It really would help to have a bit more notice of the cars and exact track to be used.
My main chance to practice is at the weekend so when the announcement comes out late Sunday or Monday I have no chance.
Not done a lap yet. In fact not even looked at it.

Unable to join the game. Could enter but then all freezes.
Reinstalled the track.
But now the server seems to be gone for me.
So no drive for me today.
