I'll be joining as well today. I'm going for the Alfa 8C, it has the looks and the pace i'm looking for. The Aston is a little out of the league here. I don't understand why the Aston and the TVR are allowed since its a european car race .
However, the fastest drivers are advised not to use it, as it wouldn't really be fair.
How do you know who is fast or not? I stick to the Alfa Romeo 8C, it also drives good in wet conditions. Downside is it's ability to drive into the pitlane .

Thanks for the pm you sent, I am a little put out by it to be honest, should you read back through this thread you will see that I have not forgotton about the event I signed up to, and have posted in here regarding the cars.
You mention that you expect everyone to take part in a practice session - No problem but when are they? I work 12 hour shifts and cannot be online every day, it would be nicer if your messages were not sent with the tone that this one was.

Can I still join this event? I'd like to use an Aston Martin. Just need to know more about the practice sessions.

Ahaha this was funny to watch, or more say hear. I'd just joined back after my little DC. go on watch race and you get the camera shot that doesn't cover the pit lane entrance. I hear two bangs, a horn and that the little icon in the corner of the cars were now damaged.
JawehawkYeah, I wasn't expecting him to ram into the wall, so didn't brake in time XD. But truth be told, the first time I had to pit on Spa, I hit that wall too. The pit entrance is awful.

Chris has told me I should run in this. I'll join the practice tomorrow. Is DB9 definitely the car to use? Can anyone give me a bench mark time to aim for?
I've raced against Chris for years. The one thing he's definitely good at is preserving tyres. lol.
I can't make any of the two practice sessions. Can I just join an hour or so before the race and do the session then ?
The real fast guys seems to be able to run 2.40's in the Alfa 8C. The DB9 is quick, though I haven't been able to get below 2.43 in it. TVR Tamora is definately capable of winning aswell. I personally haven't gotten below 2.44 with it. The Alfa seems to fit Zolon and Mattie great, as it is fast, but also very hard to control.
And btw. Practice is tonight and on thursday. I don't plan on any practice session tommorow.
I did some practise of my own yesterday and managed to lap a 2:39:190 in the Alfa 8C with little room for improvement.
I hate you!
