AC Multiclass Abarth500/Mazda MX5@Road America, Wed 24th May 2023

Lola T70 MkII Spyder (rF2)

Fresh off the GT40 project in 1964, Lola's Eric Broadley designed his own sports racer, the T70, to race in 1965. It combined everything he had learned working for Ford with all of the ideas they wouldn't let him try. Though it was quick straight...

Also, a little more on topic to the race thread we're in here's a 60s Can-Am Road America track skin (you can run track skins during online races)

That would be my 1st choice for the 1st race. Road America with the more powerful Chevy

 

[gearwhine]

Why not allow a choice. The Ford is easier to control v the real brute being the Chevy

Hi there,

This doesn’t look like it's a specific Rookie Race - is it open to anyone to join? If so, I’d like to give it a go.

I’m new online racing and want a way to get started that's not too intimidating.

Thanks!

Hi Simon, you are probably better off doing a few rookie races first. Get to grips with driving around other people etc. Han is the person you need to speak to about the rookie events.

[HF2000]

Only 12 participants now. I'm a bit disappointed for this track that has been chosen by you!
I expected at least 20+ drivers.

 

[gearwhine]

Maybe it is a bit all over the place with signing up now with the multi class.
I just signed up 'again' just in case i forgot.
We are all listed as driving what ever we do.
Could also be the usual summer migration?

 

[Twoddle]

I've signed up but I'm sure if I can make it. it's a great track so I hope I can.

 

[JamKart22]

You've got one more. I thought I'd already signed up - but clearly not!

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Coming up to holiday season Han,plus this nice weather makes people get out more.

 

[HF2000]

Thanks guys, 17 sign ups now!

 

[Twoddle]

the chances are looking very high that i will have to miss this one, sorry.

I wish I could… first multiclass I have to skip unfortunately…

 

[thegreatradish]

Hopefully I'll be home in time from attempting to compete in my other unhealthy obsession which I'm equally atrocious at - golf it depends how many balls I lose and how long I spend looking for them

 

[RS242]

I'll join but I will not be able to finish
Have to do a pick up at the airport, flight is scheduled to land by 22:10 CEST.
I live 15 min away, but unless there are delays I will drop off somewhere in the last half of the race.

Almost no practice at all, this should be an interesting experience
Tracks looks quite interesting though, it's a pity.

It's 6 Abarths and 14 Mazdas ATM so, I think we're good now...

Zero practice on Road 'Merica but I hope my latent knowledge from previous races there will resurface quickly and get me on a decent pace. No high hopes since I've been away from the simrig for almost a month.

BTW, for the North American championship... any good tracks south of the Rio Grande or perhaps in Cuba?
