CLASSIC RACING - Sundays 17:00-19:00 BST - CONGRATULATIONS CHAMPIONS Flaco & Lex LathorFinished 

Race Report - Round 12 Deep Forest Reverse

This track never fails to deliver good racing and there were some crackers on Sunday. Flaco was back with a bang winning all three races - the other podium slots were shared between Lex Lathor, Emotional Rekz and IfAndOr.

World Classic Cars (315bhp, 1160kg)
1st - Flaco - Pontiac Tempest Le Mans GTO - yellow
2nd - Emotional Rekz - BMW 507 - Blue
3rd - Lex Lathor - Ferrari 250 GT - Red

As we reach the half way point in this championship, it confirms the pre-season testing that at 315bhp and 1160kg these classic cars are very evenly matched, with the difference being made by the driver. Flaco proved again today his skill in driving and setting up the Pontiac Tempest and that in his hands it is a great car.

The Toyota 2000 GT has been shown to be less fast than the Ferrari 250 GT so anyone who hasn't yet raced that option would do best to stump up the 7.5 million credits for the Ferrari and this will also have the benefit that it can be used in the forthcoming Ferrari Cobra Wars championship - this is not however essential as Makovics proved early in the season how fast the Jaguar E Type can be (besides, Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart raced E Types and some drivers may want to emulate them).

Cobra v Corvette (Art Morrison) 453bhp, 1240kg
1st - Flaco - Corvette - Turquoise
2nd - IfAndOr - Corvette - Yellow
3rd - Lex Lathor - Corvette - Orange

First Cobra was Emotional Rekz in 4th. In the absence of the rapid Harsk (Cobra) who was on a different car choice to Flaco and Lex, the Corvette has recently obtained great results.

Corvette beats Cobra (263 v 242 Points)
It is now confirmed that the Art Morrison Corvette has won the Manufacturers Championship with 263 Points to the Cobra's 242 Points (Out of a possible 300).

One Make Series - BMW 2002 Turbo - Max Tune
1st - Flaco -
2nd - Lex Lathor - Taiga Green
3rd - Emotional Rekz -

This car has proved very tricky to drive and probably would be best tuned to a more realistic 250-300bhp rather than the 403bhp offered by a max tune.

8th June will be a practise day for the new "Cobra Ferrari Wars" which replaces "Cobra v Corvette". Championship racing re-starts on 15th June at the Brands Hatch GP Circuit (the 1980's layout) and will feature:
1. World Classic Cars (Drivers please let me know your car choice for rounds 13-15 if you haven't already done so).
2. Cobra Ferrari Wars (Cobras, Ferraris, 1963 Corvettes and Jaguar E Types/XKE's) check the bottom of the first post on page one or the separate Cobra Ferrari Wars Publicity thread for more details.
3. One Make Racing - Lotus Elan (Rounds 13-18) and TVR (Rounds 19-24)
4. Senna Race Cars - F3 WSR (Rounds 13-18) and F1 97T @800bhp (Rounds 19-24)

New Drivers - this is an ideal time to join us - practise day on 8th June @ 17:00 BST - new "Cobra Ferrari Wars" Championship and new "One Make" Championship.

We will also be adding a six round Senna F3 Car championship (unturned) at the end of the meeting for those drivers who want to stay on or join us at approximately 18:45 BST. When those six rounds have been completed we will run a six round championship for the Senna Lotus 97T with power restricted to a more realistic 800bhp unturned (the current 1,049bhp was presumably the qualifying engine - in those days teams would use 4 to 6 engines per meeting).

Classic Cars: Jaguar E-TYPE Coupe '61 - Cream (original light green)
Cobra Ferrari Wars: Shelby Cobra 427 '66 - Guardsman Blue/Racing Stripes
One Make: Lotus Elan S1 '62 - Burnt Sand
all cars with original wheels
 
I think that I'll make it.... My PS3 is working so far and if my PS3 lasts until 17:00 GMT, I'll make it.

Specs for TVR and Elan?
 
Classic Cars: Jaguar E-TYPE Coupe '61 - Cream (original light green)
Cobra Ferrari Wars: Shelby Cobra 427 '66 - Guardsman Blue/Racing Stripes
One Make: Lotus Elan S1 '62 - Burnt Sand

Sick's Cars:
World Classic Car - Chevrolet Corvette C2 1963, pale blue/silver with black PD wheels and Goodyear tyres
Ferrari Cobra Wars - Shelby Cobra 1966, red with white stripes, black exhaust and chrome wire wheels
One Make - Lotus Elan 1962, red with chrome wire wheels
 
Then the Corvette is full. I'm not going with 250 GTO because it is too expensive. I'm going with E-Type which is more cheap....
 
Next round of today?

In Cobra Wars, I'm thinking of race with Corvette C2 Z06 Race Car, not 250 GT!

Harsk - For Cobra Ferrari Wars Rounds 13-15 your car choice is Ferrari 250 GTO OR Ferrari 250 GT OR Jaguar E Type. For rounds 16-18 your car choice is Corvette C2 Race Car or Corvette C2 road car.


You can use Mercedes Benz 300 SL for World Classic Cars - I know you have been wanting to use that car.


Short races as today is a practise day - Brands Hatch GP 1980's circuit plus trial mountain, and Willow Springs.


NB Championship racing starts on Sunday 15th June at 17:00 BST.

For Cobra Wars, I'm using the Jaguar E-type in rounds 13-15 and C2 Race car for 16-18. Off course I'm using that 300 SL... I tuned it my self before my PS3 had this issue....

Corvette vs Cobra is over.... :(

When the Senna Tribute is starting?
 
What an great comeback that I did! An 2nd and a victory in Trial Mountain. Anyways, I'm sorry for incident with EMO and I'm sorry for quitting lobby but my PS3 has shut down with 3 beeps.

Why do PS3's hate you so much? It seems like every one you get quits on you.
 
Yes, I set it horizontally.

Setting your PS3 vertically can help prevent it from overheating. I've ran my PS3 all day multiple times and it has never overheated... though once I turned it off because GT6 froze and yes, there was a triple beep.

My GT6 actually has froze in me sometimes in Internet because I had music on. Although my PS3 does 3 beeps, it doesn't overheat :/

I'm sorry but I think you'll have to listen that horrible modern jazz. :ill: Wow, four liked posts in a row! :D
 
My cars

One make: Lotus Elan - green
Classic: ? (Let me know what you want me to drive)
F v C: 250gt ??

Hi If - I know you already have a Ferrari 250 GT so, yes that would be best for you for rounds 13-15.

It would be helpful if you could change the colour of your Lotus Elan as we had three dark green ones - white, orange, black or silver are available I think.

Sick, what rounds 13-24 will be?

Round 13 will be Brands Hatch GP 1980's circuit 12 laps. The other rounds I will post shortly.
