Notes:

Important: Please pay special attention to Racedepartment's Golden Rule: If you hit another driver and disadvantage him, we expect you stop and let the other driver regain his position on you. If this costs you many places (eg first few laps) then consider this a penalty for your driving infringement. Doing this shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, do not immediately stop your car on the driving line where it can cause further accidents. Not following this rule will result in your membership of the racing club being terminated at once!

Lookin forward to some Cobra vs. Corvette races :wink:

As long as the cars chosen for any race are comparative and competetive, nothing is being ruled out.

I do seem to remember some Cobras driving off into the sunset away from Corvettes at Glen Watkins last week, so there's still stuff to consider there.

I'll be doing my level best to keep things close in all races I run, so there might be some not immediately obvious pairings depending on the relative speeds.

Just like Shaw Taylor - keep 'em peeled.

 

[Stephane Dejoux]

[David Cuthill]

Ok, I'll go for hmmm, how's the balance looking so far... Alfa then Cortina.

[Kris Leeten]

Sorry, I can't attend this magnificent event. My most humble apologies!

 

[Warren Dawes]

All you drifters are going to love this event. This track is a drifters paradise, and these cars are made to measure for it.

 

[Simon Bacon]

Sorry chaps, going to have to pull out. Missing the STCC race tonight at Brands because my gaming rig is frozen solid. Only thing I can think to do is reformat at some point.

Ya I agree. Though I'm finding it very difficult for me in the Cortina. Im 2 seconds a lap slower in the Cortina vs the GTA right now. Can't seem to get the gearing right and Im clueless on setup. Keep trying hope to be competitive by thursday.

In my first brief test, I was pretty similar in both, they are nicely matched. Try being more aggressive with the Cortina, throw it around some more. Try the mid range gearing. I think how you drive at this track is more important than any setup, but I'm sure we'll all find plenty of people to have close fun racing with, that's what the GTL Group enjoy most.
I'll tip we all have some "loose the tail" moments in this one. :laugh2:

 

[Chris Vick]

Please sign me up. I will try the Alpha, and then the Lotus. Never seen the track and have not run the cars, so it should be exciting!:wink2:

[Steven Palmer]

Stu, I'm gonna have to pull out altoghter mate, I know I mentioned it in a PM, but considering the new rules about attendance. I thought I'd make it all official like.:good:

 

[Charlie Heath]

Could you bump me to the reserve list? Having to go out to an unexpected business meeting this afternoon and I might not be back until quite late. Should be ok, but thought I'd better let you know, just in case.

Cheers.

 

[Chris Vick]

Sorry guys, work has intruded, and I will not be able to make the race after all. I hope that you have a great race, and I'll try to make an event in Feb.

Chris
