Did you try it with high wing settings GT? My high wing setup makes the Arrows drink like a fish.

I don't use high wing settings on any of these cars, so if you do you'll more than likely need to stop for fuel at Silverstone.

I may not particularly like the principle of these, you cant avoid the speed these things have. Plus its another night of gtr2!

If i felt i might be on pace i might consider doing all races but i'll probably miss some out. Not sure theres a car available that will balance me out with the rest of you! how about this years model.

How about the McLaren   It might be the quickest car here, but only by a second or so a lap and it's still a challenging drive. What's more there would be plenty of us that would relish the chance to go wheel to wheel with it. If it helps you reach the point where you can have enjoyable and close racing, go for it. That was my thinking behind this series.

As I didn't connect with the Mclaren at all, I reckon you'll like it Spanner. The Fezza was lovely, but I think Matt has asked for the 2nd one?

Ps didn't the 2nd Lotus get requested too?

[spanner]

Ok then, i'll take the mclaren.

Yes, I've reserved the Berger car for Matt, but understood that he was also going to test the Williams again.

Geoffers said that he would probably stick with the fezza, unless he gets the chance to try something else, but I did ask that he let me know for definite when he decided.

Since then Blunder has put in a firm request for the fezza which I've accepted.

Navin has said he thinks he'll go back to the Lotus which I've noted 

Samb has made a firm request for the Nakajima Lotus, which I've accepted.

Not sure what others will choose at the moment.....maybe seeing how the grid settles 

This gets more like real F1 every day  

I have updated the driver list to avoid any confusion. Please post if you wish to change your car or to make your choice

Ok then, i'll take the mclaren.

Thanks spanner, I'll put you in the Senna car

Geoffers...on reflection I think it's a bit harsh to not allow you to drive the fezza as I may have misunderstood your choice, so because of this I'm making an exception to the one driver one car rule and putting you in the Alboreto car also.

OK GT, but I am hoping to give something else a try this weekend & will let you know by Sunday.

Do you think the Williams would be suitable for me GoldTop?

I will take one of them please if you agree.

A good choice I think H@L. I've put you down as the original Mr. Eyebrows 

[lazlow]

Can you put me down for a Minardi GT. I think I should be able to be competitive in it. Thanks

When are the race announcements going to be put up ??

There is now a race thread for the 1st event: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=9350.msg169762#msg169762

Well, as no one had chosen it, I had a go in the Ligier at Jacarepagua & am getting laps around 1.28 so can I change to that please GT. I had tested the Ferrari there & was into the 1.26s in that, AI were doing 1.23s with it!
