Offfcourse, we HAVE to use the new track Other classic races where to short notice for me to change the track, so here it is!

 

[Craig Booth]

I'm in for this one. Would have preferred the faster formula classics, as this is an extremely fast track. Although if enough sign up it should be a fun close race.

 

[Marco Bijl]

Will run it for the next sunday F2 race as well, so the faster car's can have a go there as well. Still have to look at the layouts, and lap times and stuff, but could not resist taking the track

 

[Dave Coyne]

count me in , this one should be fun

 

[Jim Carvalho]

Oooh! Oooh! Pick me! Draft city, here we come. . . . Oh, cr*p! I just remembered my real life calendar. Have fun, boys. Maybe this should be put into a regular rotation.

 

[Marco Bijl]

Server will be up after tonights race for the F2's. Need the same server instance for it.

 

[Marco Bijl]

Server is up!

 

[Christian Lyngbye]

Sign me up!
The setup gas estimator is way off since my practice with the Spark uses *EDIT* (it's the short loop apparently) 1-2l gas per lap...

Can we get some estimate for number of laps (a lap is about 2 min) before the race?

P.S.
This is kind of bad timing with the Euro Cup

 

[Christian Lyngbye]

Thx Marco and Racedepartment.
I really liked this combination. Please do it again some day?

 

[Dave Coyne]

this track could promote some close racing with a large field of drivers , i made my customary bad start and Axel and Craig passed me but i dropped in behind and caught the draft , i passed Craig and chased Axel , unfortunately Craig had an off and lost the draft so Axel and i fought tooth and nail for 16 laps , we both passed and repassed each other many times, neither of us could make a break and get away , intense would be an understatement .
It came down to the last corner and the drag to the line , we went around Parabolica side by side and stayed that way to the line Axel just pipped me for the win , i think i lost it by a gearchange it was that close.
This was excellent racing and i think a large field of drivers using the draft would be very exciting

 

[Marco Bijl]

Yes, we will run this comby again. If only because I could not be there myself

Coming sunday, we will do the 10K version with the F2's. That might be worth checking out as well!

And indeed, with a large grid, this can promise a lot of close racing.
