There's still room, and you're more than welcome to join. You can see the list of participants in the first post. And make sure you read the rules aswell, as I don't fancy having to explain rules that have already been posted on the web

Franky, I'm a big fan of the C8, looks, sound, looks, looks and looks, and I couldn't really understand Chris accusing it of understeer and snap oversteer. It can be a bit frisky but it's a thoroughbred with an Italian temprament, considering that, I felt that it was a pussycat.
At least I did until I've just driven it in the rain. Mamamia!!!!!! It's got rollerskates at the front and plastic tyres at the back. Ace fun, but I sweat out 1 kilo per lap.
I'll sleep well on Tuesday night, nervous exhaustion.
Cheers, Z.

I may switch my Car from a Tamora to an M3, if allowed of course. Found the Tamora to be a great car but the tendency to step out the rear will handicap me too much in the tyre wear department. I just lost an Endurance on Monday because of tyre wear, 3rd-last. Im in to win this one.

I'm having practice sessions both today and tommorow, at times shown on page 3. We can arrange some rain driving aswell. You don't have to settle on a car until the very last day, so no worries. Personally, I think I'm going for the Tamora myself. Wanted to go with the Maserati, but it's just not quick enough.

Be warned fella, Chris is quick and the M3 is a little off the pace. Of course I've no idea how fast you are, but if you have any doubts at all and you are serious about winning the DB9 is the only motor to take.
I've learned to expect to win no more than 5% of the races I enter now and do it for the enjoyment of a good hard mid field dust-up. The C8's ideal for that (whilst giving the impression of walking on a tightrope in greased slippers).
Cheers, Z.
Ooops, sorry, didn't mean to dis anyone else who's entering, it's just that Chris had a pretty good drive in the Lambos. Peace and love to all. (Until we're on track.)

Practice session is now up.
Todays practice is done for, and we've learned some more.
One driver has been disqualified for cheating and failing to recognize what he had done wrong.
Other than that, the session went well. Tommorow we'll decide the fate of the DB9's place in the race. It does seem a tad fast compared to the other cars. We'll try it with Sports Hard tires tommorow. Another possible solution is to only let the slower drivers use it to give them a better fighting chance, without actually over powering them.
Hope to see some more people join tommorow.

I decided to not run this race after the first race we have had today, 16 sec ahead in 5 laps with the maserati, (first time on that car, no oil change) imagine 30 laps, boring...
Anyway let me tell you something. How can someone be accused to be a cheater when this "cheater" asks for penalties ON? How can someone be kicked for having said that on spa you cannot run without penalties on, because on the famuos part "eau rouge radillon" even a small cut makes you go one seconds faster? Why you simply and honestly told me to not join for being too fast? I would not like to race against someone 3 sec per lap faster on a race 30 laps long too, so there would be no problem.

Im actually temped to run the DB9 / M3 the DB9 is reasonably quick, but the M3 is super stable, i havent tested any out in the rain apart from the DB9 and it was ok.

I think I will use these to because they are good stable cars, have driven a couple of others but these suit me best.

Re: Penalties.. all the drivers have an understanding, dont cheat, in the rain in the lambos hardly anyone went over eau rouge on purpose, if they did then they needed to because they took the corner wrong or something but i can pretty much say with confience nobody purposefully used it. Its the same with the chicane at the end, you can just cut that but people dont.
I asume it was Franky who is bannned? why exactly? (If not... Sorry)
