Note3: These are fun races, not competetive, just race the people around you. Winning is a secondary concern, this event is to have some nice dicing with people around your own pace in various different models.
Note4: With regard to the above Note - No Models Are Banned - but let's try and see a decent spread of models across the grid please.
Note5: There will be prizes - "The Nurbys" - for the best spread of vehicles, the best performance in a slower model, most spectacular crash, longest roof slide, etc.
Note6: People choosing 3 cars from the top of the performance charts in that class will be named and shamed.

Hi Paulo - if you want to race, you can join the later races, you don't need to be there from the start (Portugal is the same as UK, yes? So the first practice will start @ 19.30 Ldn time)

Alright then Stuart, i will probably join you guys later.
Cheers

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

2nd race (i hope to be there in time) - Jaguar E-Type
3rd race - BMW

Thank you.

 

[Hans Sneep]

Car choice second race:Austin Healey 3000

This is a long event, I think between 2.5 and 3 hours in total?

Hans

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I've trimmed the practice and quali session times down to 20 minutes total Hans, so each race will be about 45 mins each, so much closer to 2 than 3 hours

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Just for the record - I'm going to drive cars that haven't been picked by anyone else, so my choices might fluctuate a bit, depending on who picks what from the TBD's

Evanso, Dave, Glenn - any ideas on your choices?

 

[Glenn Morris]

No Rostered Day Off for me this week unfortuntely Stuart, so I'm out. Sorry mate.
Had completely forgotten that I had put my name on for this one.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

No problem, Glenn :good: Hope to see you Saturday / Sunday

 

[Matt Crouch]

I really have no idea on the relative performance of the cars and at work atm, so I'm going to say for now the Mustang (driven a few times), the Merc (never driven except for 1 lap round Spa), and I don't know anything about the 76 cars, can I play blind and draw a random one?

And yes this is a testing session for my potential choice of league car

 

[Marty Pierce]

This is going to be fun hope we get a few more signed up, Marty

 

[Stuart Thomson]

We generally get a few on the day before or the day of the event Marty, so fingers crossed

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

I can't see the server. :glasses-nerdy:

 

[Matt Crouch]

I think there may be a server rebuild going on

 

[Matt Crouch]

Oh I see what you mean, the event is on Thursday. The front page is wrong

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

What????????????????????

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...i trusted
the front page.......at Thursday i can't attend............................. :snail:

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

I'm terribly sorry Stuart, i trusted on the front page and thought the event
would be tonigth. Thursday i can't join. Very sorry. :no:

Cheers

 

[Matt Crouch]

I'm guessing it was put there a while back and not updated again after the server was hacked , the event that's listed on the front page for thursday was postponed

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Ah, OK, sorry Paulo.

Yes due to the server issues I have rearranged a few events.

I've updated the Events & Calendar entries, but there's no autoupdate of the front page events thing. I don't have any access to update the front page I'm afraid.

My apologies for the confusion, Paulo, and hope to see you soon.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Had a quick test run to test a couple of my car selections, and it was embarrassing. Started with the Mini, then spent more time with the Healey. It took me about 12 laps to beat my Mini time. :Cry:
I have heaps to learn about the Healey.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I think that might have more to say about your prowess with the Mini, than your lack of with the Healey, mate
