If anyone wishes to push the time of the event slightly back, then feel free to say so in the thread, and I'll see what can be done.

 

[Jamie-C]

Will it get dark during the race or will it it be daytime through out?

 

[Jawehawk]

Will it get dark during the race or will it it be daytime through out?

I'll do my best to arrange it so that half the race will be day/evening, and the other half being night.

 

[Jamie-C]

In that case I'll give this one a miss, I hate racing in the dark

 

[chrisr1984]

jamie, dont be a puff..

just get online now and practice with me

edit: andy do you fancy going on for some testing?

 

[Jawehawk]

edit: andy do you fancy going on for some testing?

ohh, sure. will be online in 5.

 

[Jamie-C]

I'm not a puff, just **** and crash at every corner when its dark , I'll come for some testing too

Need to buy the cars first though.

 

[chrisr1984]

i have no idea why my message starred out andy, i said 'ill have to go now tata' lol

im not sure about the track tbh, i can see a lot of people just getting fed up crashing expecially when its raining and/or dark, if we had 1/2 the people leave on a wet Spa this will be a nightmare lol obviously its your race so ultimatly its your call, i am just thinking out loud as it were.

might get more people enter at nubby, but you probably get more finishers at say monza like you originally said.

ta.

 

[Jamie-C]

Yeah there will be so many rage quitting going on there, it's a long way back to pits if you crash early on in the lap! Its a horrible track anyway, I'm not a fan at all

Indeed, one needs a ton of practice with the chosen car, in order to drive without crashing. I still like the idea of an endurance on the Ring. However, it needs to be with better cars.

So it's back to the drawing board. What do people want most?
A race on Spa again? Or should we go for Monza or Rome?

I will do my best to pretend that you dit not just call the Ring a bad track .

 

[Jamie-C]

Its probably not a bad track once you know it well but I make too many mistakes which is why I don't like it It took me about 2 hours too master the lamborgini at Spa, thats about 45 laps give or take. If I was to try and do that on the 'ring I'd be dead , plus on top of that I need to workout tire wear and lap times on the list off cars. I'm not trying to say don't race there, if thats what is wanted then thats fine But I'm afraid I won't be taking part.

 

[ACL_13]

[Jawehawk]

Privat lobby is up for anyone interested.

 

[Akmuq]

Might be able to do this, any chance of allowing the Lexus IS-F?

 

[Jawehawk]

That's not a european car mate . So no.

 

[Akmuq]

Oh, forgot about European cars only, I was also going to ask about the Camaro.

I'll decide which car to use when I'm ready.

 

[Jamie-C]

Put me down now its not on the 'ring

 

[Duck]

Put me down now its not on the 'ring

There are shadows at Spa...... and a monster hidden between the trees

Too late this time, see you soon

 

[MattieM]

I think i'm going to participate this race, my problems with my back should be over by then (i certainly hope so). I'll post again when i know if i'm able to join or not.

 

[m8h3r]

Do you know what time it will be in the UK when you race?

If plausible then ill stake claim to using the TVR, love that car.

GMT is the time zone for the UK.

 

[m8h3r]

GMT is the time zone for the UK.

Ok, count me in

Id better go buy a Tamora and get practicing

I'm guessing there is no Aero Parts?

Am I allowed to change the Wheels? And is painting free?

 

[chrisr1984]

Yes you can change the wheels, oil and paint what you like. You can't however put any aero parts on the cars.

 

[John Wells]

I would like to enter please.

 

[Dave_George]

Would also like to register interest to race this. Can confirm am available on the date mentioned too.

 

[Zolon32]

Andy, I really fancy this, but in the lead up to christmas my social secretary (The Mrs) might prefer me to leave myself available, especially on a Friday night.

However, you do have two of my favourite cars in the game among your list, The C8 and the C63 (might have something to do with me being a bit of a C?) so I shall make great efforts to attend. And if I can it'll be in the C8, in Lotus Canyon red with Mazda Velocity red mica wheels. Heaven.

Cheers, Z.

And that is why I stay single! Or so I keep telling my self haha .
Amazed to see someone liking the Alfa though. I always thought that car was a bit of a handfull. Hope to see you there mate. Know from previous race that you're a top notch driver.
