Jocke has beat me to it.
But here's another site that might help.
If I'm looking at it correctly I think that it will be at 2pm for you.
Now that wing is tastefully done, it does flow nicely with the lines. 👍
That sounds right, PDT is 3 hours behind me at EDT.@MannYhAvitZ

Mini by name, not necessarily by design!
Manny, my theory is that it is the car. The classic Mini is one of those cars that people either absolutely love, or they hate it. There is no in between. I think that's why everyone here gets excited.DAMN! I can't believe that I am getting so much positive feed back from all of you!! None of you know me and yet you guys are making me feel like I am part of this AMAZING CLUB!Thank you FergusMik for giving me the chance to race with you and your CREW!!! Because ALL of you have been really positive and friendly I will Make sure to be there on Wednesday to challenge ALL OF YOU & as a reward I will make sure to UPLOAD another video for you guys!

All of you have like my post (video) with Positive comments, I have got an opportunity to work with Sick Cylinder
for upcoming events that he would like to be as a video and he has ask me if I could help out & I got Friend Requested by some of you as well!!
So stay sharp cause you never know which race I will upload lol...

If you haven't noticed already, I'm totally in love with this car (even though I haven't owned one in years) lol!
The original "Italian Job" or the remake with Mark Walberg?

I don't think we have to raise the hp, I stopped changing the oil when I first buy a car, and they don't lose their power. One of my Minis has over 1500 miles on it and the specs haven't changed. I have read that you can go 3000 miles before you need to change oil. 1 hour at Nordschleife is probably what 7 or 8 laps so about 100 miles, we should be fine.Great great great 👍👍 Fergus i like it a LOT
Nordschleife
60min
min 2xpit
Sport tires... any type
some wet conditions if daytime race
from dawn until dusk
Maybe some more bhp, they will drop in 60min endurance
That is my output
Over and out
Yeah, I think I would leave the tire wear at fast like it is at the moment.
I'd never considered the field spreading out over the race, good point, thanks for bringing that up. 👍Ok, my thoughts.
1. The Nordschleife - I personally think that because of the same specs that the Minis have, any incidents (spins/crash) and differing pit stop strategies etc. would cause the field to get spread out - and not be able to catch up. So therefore because of the length of the track you may end up racing around without seeing anyone else. Not too much fun.
How about something like Brands Hatch GP (maybe 80's). It's got an interesting mix of corners, straights and elevation changes. Enough to challenge the Minis. It's also not too long that you wouldn't see another car after a spin and quite possibly cars would also get lapped. And of course, the real Mini will have raced around here (and probably still do).
2. I'd love to participate in longer races but there's usually something going on in real life that disturbs me or requires my attention. So for me at least, I'd go for your 30min duration option. I can usually manage that.
Also if someone disconnects or someone joins the room, they haven't got to wait so long until the next race. And you can then mix it up with a reverse grid for the second race.
3. I suppose it all depends on how fast you set the tire wear. For a 30 min race, if it's set to fast (or even very fast), one mandatory stop would be good and then leave it up to the drivers tire use strategy if they require more. Steady driving to conserve tires or drive fast and fit another pit stop in - could be interesting towards the end.
For a Mini, fuel consumption shouldn't be too much of an issue!
4. Yes why not, it'll add some extra interest. Brands Hatch has time/weather settings.
Although like you I'm not to sure about night racing, the lights aren't brilliant - much like the real ones.
Smiley's dawn to dusk sounds good. (You'd have to work out what time progression to use for your given race length)
To determine grid position, you may need to run a qualifying session before the first race
Anyway has I said - My thoughts.

I'm liking the sound of Brands for this.Ok, my thoughts.

It's a Mini banana!
I didn't have that one, when I'm feeling energetic I'm going to go through all the dealerships looking for paint colors!If you didn't know already, there actually is a paint chip called Banana
I'm not home at the moment so I can't check where it is, but I think it came with an American car. Chevy or Dodge.
