AMS2 GT Classics @ Imola 1972, Tuesday 1st November 2022

[Redvaliant]

GT Legends​

Join us Tuesday for some classic Big Banger action with the early 70s touring car contenders from Chevy and Porsche. The king of the European middleweights taking on the brutal American heavyweight looks, at first, to be a mismatch. But with great power comes not-that-great responsiveness, and the smaller, more nimble Porsche can go toe to toe with the heavy Chevy round after round, lap after lap. Historic Imola favours power, but it also favours the skillful, so keeping these two on the blackstuff is probably more important than outright laptime.

Whether you are a rookie racer or a seasoned veteran our casual club races are for everyone and every skill level. We combine fun events with discord chatter and a warm welcome to all our premium members.

Sign me up Daniel, havent driven either of these cars, but I'm guessing the Vette handles like a barge ?

 

[Redvaliant]

Hi Tim. The Porsche is a beautiful car, about as good as 1974 could provide. It handles well, stops reasonably well with its old tyres and brakes, and is just a joy to hustle.
The Corvette is a psycho. It can't be reasoned with. It just doesn't care about your welfare!

 

[GeekyDeaks]

sign me up for a bit of psycho please @Redvaliant

 

[Redvaliant]

Hey Scott, added. Do test the Corvette out around Imola, it takes some getting used to.

 

[Eric S]

Daniel, I am in!

 

[Redvaliant]

Nice one Eric, added.

 

[Lloyd Johnston]

Should be good to race this week @Redvaliant so pop me on the list please

Sure thing, Lloyd.

 

[Bas Kriesels]

Hi Daniel, your post in the previous race forumpage from last Thursday could be right, so sign me in and let's hope that other drivers attract other drivers. It sounds logical!

 

[Redvaliant]

Yes, that was actually Guido, but I agree totally, more early signups attract more people when the field looks like a healthy turnout.

Practice server is up.

 

[Munkyboo]

Sign me up too

Hi Adrian, added.

 

[Guido Trampe]

Put me up as a maybe Daniel. Great combo. It does allways take me a while to unlearn all the added corners from the modern Imola.

 

[Guido Trampe]

Yes, that was actually Guido, but I agree totally, more early signups attract more people when the field looks like a healthy turnout.

We are slowly getting there. 12 drivers last week with 5 or 6 disapointed they cloud not attend (so 16 was possible). Its looking good.

 

[Orlando Medley Sr.]

how can i sign up help please

 

[Redvaliant]

how can i sign up help please

[Eric S]

These cars are not easy!!!

 

[Redvaliant]

After doing about 2 clean laps out of 12 in the Corvette, the Porsche feels like a magic carpet ride....it drives itself it's so good! You really need to unlearn modern racer habits like braking late into a corner or trying to stay flat through fast corners. I swear, there's a rhythm to these cars - even the Corvette - that you only discover after many, many laps and lots of swearing.

I've done both. Swearing and many laps in the neunelfer.
