We don't discuss it in the thread before race, in order to not discourage people from joining. You are free to do that on TS during the event or here, after the race.

I wanted to but then my health issues came to remind me it wasn't a good idea, hence the edit.

 

[celeste]

I run with the R8, sorry for last Sunday but missed the connection

 

[Tommi Saari]

@Eugene Abramoff , if the scg-003 is an option, I will join.

I don't normally put it in this races as official choice, because I still think it's not exactly GT3, but its balanced, so if its the only option you prefer, why not.

It is full gt3 spec but is not homologated as production numbers do not meet quota hence it has raced in gtx class on its own year or two back...?

Yes, that I know, personally I just see it as a hybrid between LMP and GT, but like I said, you can absolutely take it to the race.
It was designed solely to race at 24h of Nords (just like P4/5) and indeed participated 2 years ago, I'm sure they did also last year. I believe they switched from original W16 Turbo to V8 Turbo though. Unless street and race cars had different engines to begin with.

Done some practice this afternoon with stable setup and then during practice and qualify sessions done some tweaks wich totally ruined it. Car was so unstable that I couldn't finish even one decent lap in quali. The race was even worse, spun on the first lap (sorry for the contact with another car), lost so much time and then another spin and few contacts with tires and barriers. After being laped by 5 or 6 cars decided to go to the pit and finish the race. This track is to tight to give you guys safe pass when being laped. It just wasn't my day
Congratulations to the podium winners

Great race tonight. Save for the wheel mishap at the start, I had a great race with a long battle with @Jimlaad43
Grats to the podium finishers
