CLUB RACING for you

[Rupe Wilson]

Ok here is your chance to pick a few cars that you would like to race in the club races, in the future
please bear in mind whilst the league is operating this class is not used as much and cars that are in the league are not eligible.

please vote and if you would like to leave a post with a particular car or cars that is ok,
feel free to discuss the cars selected with you pro's and con's , but with respect to each pothers comments.

These cars can be quite track dependant so track choice is just as important when selecting a car.
maybe you have a few good combinations you would like to see ..
Don't be shy and post away all feed back is good.
there is no right or wrong its all personal taste.
if you want to put links to cars and tracks that would be great ..BUT PLEASE MAKE SURE IT LEGAL
the three main site we use for our cars and tracks are ( CLICK ) ( CLICK ) ( CLICK )

Rupe Wilson , I see we are using the NSU-TT next week again which is good, will this be the new format to club racing or is the jury still out

 

[Rupe Wilson]

A bit of both really , we have a league race next week so i wanted to use something that is fresh in the minds. We also have some new drivers it always helps to start with to get a feel for a car and see how it goes the next time round .. And its a quick test for the next league that we are starting to test.

Wow! VLM make the best tracks for SimRacing, always top quality.

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

Indeed they do, I just grabbed this track a few days ago. Wasn't a big fan of Fuji but now that i've been driving on it for the last few nights i like it

Wonder why the LM55 mod didn't poll better? It's received rave critic at Simracing.org.uk and received a second series as a result. Many ex GPL drivers have made a straight comparison. The engines are loud and powerfull and the brakes and tyres are woefully inadequate but once mastered they present a fine spectacle for the senses. Possibly not for the newbie tho.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

They will be playing a part in GTL fairly soon Tony,
At the moment we are using the same 2 tracks for a month and the same class of cars on the tracks
So drivers can see there improvements each week as they learn a track.
I have already seen this working for a few drivers in the past so we have lots to look forward to in the foreseeable future

 

[Tony Wiltshire]

Oh I'm not pushing for their use here, I was just commenting on the (IMO) poor showing in the poll, that's all.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

I was hoping for a bigger response also
As we have some good plans for these cars, we have guys working on it now...
yes they are tricky to start with but i really like them.
one guy was unsure also, but after a week of testing he now also like them..
they do grow on you if you give them a chance

 

[Tony Wiltshire]

Yes they do. I hope your team are considering a long race format as it's then that the tyre wear plays it's part

 

[Denis Betty]

Not sure that I've driven an LM 55. So far I like GTC 65 modded cars.

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

Oh and lets not forget Rouen les Essarts from VLM

Great track!

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

I just downloaded and gave the Ferrari 250 SWB a try and man what a beauty she is!!

Looking forward to racing with it

 

[Rupe Wilson]

As you may of seen over the last few weeks we have started Sunday night club action.
I hope you like it so far.

I would like to keep this going and introduce cars that we dont normally drive ..
At the moment we have then Pontiac trans am
and would like to introduce the LM55 class to run on alternate weeks. we will start of slow and build from there.

If we run a series with any cars we can all use Racelog to track our progress on lap times and Race results
general clubs night are about fun and enjoying the driving with freinds but it can be used to record our lap times for future reference or learning.

if you have any thought likes or hates or just want to post your felling about were the club is going this is the place to do it were here to listen..

As you may of seen over the last few weeks we have started Sunday night club action.
I hope you like it so far.

Yes, I do. Sundays are easier than thursdays for me ATM and I like the more raw and powerful cars in general. So while I'm fully aware that the TC-65 class are the best matched bunch of the whole game, I wouldn't mind a trip to GTC-76 once in a while.

Generally speaking I think we all have our favourite kinds of cars and you can't cater for everyone at once, but personally the atmosphere and the company I'm racing with are more important to me than the actual vehicles, so I'll just go with anything you throw at us as long as it's not open-wheelers.

That Racelog thingy sounded really promising when announced a while ago, I didn't know GTL was hooked up to that already, will go and check it out then..

So far I think you're doing a stellar job keeping the GTL Club alive and kicking, so please just keep it up!
Hopefully in a month or so things will calm down at work so I won't have to get up at ridiculous o'clock anymore and will be able to join full events again.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

We are not hooked up to Racelog but i would like to start using it for this stuff..
not to worried about the ranking on a whole but the others stuff can offer much more for us in our series events and classes

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

I would like to keep this going and introduce cars that we dont normally drive ..

Yeah like the Reliant Regal and the Coke Moke

Jokes aside, I think things are going great here. Good car/track combos and the Sunday events is a good idea. It give us a chance to try new/different cars and tracks out as a group. Attendance was good on the last two Sunday races so lets hope it continues on

Thanks @Rupe Wilson and to whoever else that helps organize GTL Club and kudos to the members that show up every week to race and help keep GT legends alive here at RaceDepartment
