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!

Time for me to return to the fray I think!

 

[Bruce Saltzman]

Stuart, got an email saying premium event for this one. I see it's now trial. It currently shows as trial on the front page unless I hear differently from you.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Errr....I didn't send an email. Is that all behind the curtains magic going on?

Didn't think there was premium & trial any more, but either way, it's a Racing Club Members event.

I got prompted to give it a prefix or it wouldn't let me post - possibly that's where it went a bit skew-whiff. I erred on the side of Trial as people who maybe hadn't noticed didn't see a "Premium" event and not sign up.

Sorry if the new kids first go has gone the shape of a pear.

 

[Bruce Saltzman]

LOL, no problems mate. Yes I suppose it's a bit of "don't look behind the curtain" stuff.

The system automatically generates an email to me so that I can keep the site racing calendar updated. No worries. I check the entry each time so whatever it says when I get to the event page, I usually take what I see as confirmation.

 

[Piotr Misiorek]

Alfa/Cortina

This track isn't very well-known so I've made little on-board preview, so you can see how it looks, it has some fun, tricky corners :dance2:
In Alfa you can expect times around 1.47-48

[Marty Pierce]

gta then lotus thanks Stuart. I see 2 tracks at nogrip sachsering and sachsenring 67. which one will we use.

 

[Steven Palmer]

Stu, put me in as Reserve please. It's end of month stocktaking and I don't usually get in till 19.00 - 19.30 at the earliest. As for car choice Race 1 Alfa. Race 2 Cortina.

Use the track download from RD Download server. The link is in the sign up post.

 

[Warren Dawes]

I'm in of course, tosses coin for cars:
Cortina then Alfa.

Track hint:67 version from DerDumeklemmer(downside,8.751 Km long)

Not this time round, Hans, but I downloaded both the Sachsenrings as I wasn't sure initiallyeither, but after testing it out, it's safe to say that the 67 version will definitely get an airing at some stage, with some cars that befit it's length.

In fact there are quite a few superb GPL (and therefore 67 version) tracks out there for GTL, so watch this space :good:

 

[Kris Leeten]

Yes please! Alfa, then Cortina (Why not have the race director choose who drives which cars first? Just to have an nice mixed field)

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Kris - if the balance had gone hugely one way or the other, I would have stepped in, but as it stands, it's a 5 / 5 split (including Steve in the reserves) with Amir not having made his decision yet, so there is no real need - once again the GTL world's more gentlemanly heads show how it should be done. :good:
