Carroll Shelby Cup - Coming Soon - Sunday 3PM GMT Timeslot.

Maybe we should run both the Cobra and the Mustang on Sports Softs.

Cobra still gives a challenge on those.

I think that would give the best result. That way the Cobra can be pushed round a track but won't kill you if you push too hard, and the GT350 will give a bit more fun. 👍

Also, staggered start, with the Cobras going first?

The Cobra has killed me several times on racing tires, killed me all the way dead. But I got better.

Staggered start with Mustangs ahead.

Have you figured out how you're going to run qualifying?

Have you figured out how you're going to run qualifying?

Yes.

Qualifying will be in the week at any time. I will set 3 or 4 stewards who will watch the qualifying laps with the correct room conditions.

Yes.

*Ahem* I can help steward (PURE experience)
How many laps will each run get and will we use the OLR for track boundaries.

Really? Even if the Cobras are faster when they're both on SS tyres?

Yes.

This will be cool. 👍

I'll offer to do stewarding runs, but I can only do Friday and Saturday. 👍

Just realised I'm off school from 25th May to the 11th June so I'd be able to do some.

Would it be done in a 3 lap race format- 1 outlap, 2 flying? So the replays can be saved and checked?

OLR rules will apply, and this is all a test run for the next FIA GT1 championship. Really hoping to step that up a notch.

I am going to be using the social group a lot more (Stewards bit) to discuss the track boundaries in more detail per event but it will be OLR rules, yes.

Yes, that is the point. Slower cars ahead by half a lap, should add some tension and fun.

DCRL stewards will be stewarding so it would be great if you held your sessions at 4PM as you usually do.


The format will be: One warm up lap, three qualifying laps, one cooldown lap.

I will discuss this closer in the stewards section. 👍

We did that in WSGTC had the GT300s start sometimes a lap and half ahead of the GT500s so that everyone from each class should be able to finish and if we needed to add penaltys it was much easier. 👍

This is shaping up really nicely.


Well, this will be starting after GT1s right? Which will mean this will start on the 3rd?

If that's true I can pretty much do quali runs 2-5pm everyday in both the first two weeks- because, as I say, we get an extra week off. (2 week half term )

But then, for the last two weeks, I'll be able to hold some Friday ~4pm and Saturday ~2-5pm (JCRS will have finished). 👍

Also, I take it only 1 person can do their run at a time? (1 person on track)

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

This seems to have died.

In other news I've painted my car and am starting to run it in. It looks badass.

Also, will Monza be with weather- the GT350 is great fun in the wet.

EDIT: Double post.
