Belated Happy New Year all!
And a very very belated congrats to @buybon355
I'm definitely up for a repeat of this. Personally I don't mind if it's later eg 2300GMT which gives you another hour is bed!
Happy to test some cars if you give me a list?

Any takers for a 450pp race in the Stratos this Saturday night? I’m thinking AH is a nice flowing venue for 2 races. Race 1, an all Stratos race. Race 2 cars select from below:
Chevrolet Camaro Z28 ’69 - 1:28.5
Toyota MR2 1600 G-Limited Supercharger '86 - 1:27.7
Ford RS200 ’84 - 1:28.3
Toyota 2000GT ’67 - 1:28.6
Renault R5 Turbo ‘80 - 1:28.5
Nissan Silvia 240 RS (S110) ‘83 – 1:28.5
Lamborghini Countach LP400 ’74 - ?
Ferrari GTO ’84 - 1:28.7
Honda CR-X SiR ’90 - 1:28.7
Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex (AE86) ’83 - 1:28.5
(All times above were achieved at AH, 450pp, ss, only ABS, no tyre wear and edge grip real with the time set to 9am.)
If possible, I’d like one driver for one car which will give some good feedback on times etc. These cars are fun to drive and I’d like to know if my times correspond with yours. Usual rules and regs apply; there are none. Just be cool and gentlemanly, and let’s enjoy some good old-fashioned racing. No quali, just fastest first. Oh, and no tyre wear either. For the next pre-season friendly, all track/car suggestions are welcome. Room open from 11:30pm UK time this Saturday night. Race 1 starts at midnight. Whatjathunk?

In testing I actually thought the 2000GT would be low 1:28s and can't figure out why it isn't faster. So I'll be curious to see what times you and others can do in the selected cars.
Good choice blue. Mine feels well balanced and quick.

All welcome for a fun run.
I guess championship runner-up Venari is busy with all things Stateside.
Race 1: all Stratos; Race 2: select car from above.
Distance: TBD. Any suggestions?
I'll choose car last.

Hi Joe
I'm changing my mind about my car. Can I have the countach instead of the camero please. Surprisingly the Lambo seems to be easier to run. Thanks
Suts
Of course Suts. TBH any car is OK, the main thing is to have fun!
And BTW, 1:29.6 ain't shuffling along. I think the time I got was a lucky lap. I'd usually be a bit slower. And also, I think the MR2 is a bit mental (but fun), so you're going to have your work cut out buybon. EDIT: Actually I've just checked and my best time was 1:27.9 (not 1:27.7 which I think I wrote) However, usually I'd be mid 1:28s and in a race we all know how that really means 1:29s etc:tup:

I'm really sorry Joe. I've just woken up on the sofa and I'm so annoyed I missed this. 
No point in me joining now as I'll probably fall asleep mid race!!!
Oh... Just reading about the DC issues.
Hope we can do this again soon as I was really looking forward to it. I'll get the alarm ready next time!!

The longer these server issues persist, the more people they'll lose to other racing titles. Just as well it didn't happen in the last race of the championship, eh champ!
Yes, Suts, it was quite frustrating. I couldn't open a room for love nor money, so buybon had to do the deed. Then one by one we dropped off like flies with DCs and freezes.
Took me back 40 years when I read that

Let's aim for next weekend. Ferrari 365 GTB4 ’71 (1:28.6 no tyre wear) added to the list above. With a couple of cars we have to use the power limiter quite a lot (Venari will love the power curve), but they drive really well. Some scary cars on the list and some real good drivers. Bit of a mix really. For the record, and as a comparison, my Dino will go round AH in 1:26.5 (again with no tyre wear).
