I dunno, @jordie1892  was pretty effective helping me get a 3rd place finish last week 😅

[phil bottle 9,621]

Two great races last night, really enjoyable and great to have so many involved.

Great night of racing last night, 12 nutters behind the wheel and all well behaved, mostly 😁

 

Great competition all round and little battles down the order made it really fun.

 

Nice to meet @Kurt  and look forward to seeing you and @Diddums climb that ladder.

Something to note about the league races. There will be limited time to practice on race night and qualifying will begin at 8.30pm. So pre-practice is advised.

 

Also, who will be keeping note of the race stats and league table for the team championship? I'm assuming either @jordie1892  or @Mikepjbell  but let's confirm now so we're prepared. I did the last season one and it's not a lot of work other than remembering to record the race results 🙃

@Kurt  should be able to join too then.

 

Also, stick me on the list if it's not too late. 

 

The more the merrier 🤗

[phil bottle 9,621]

The first date for this is looking like 15 July. Everyone should be back and available by then. 

 

The late start to the season means we will be doing 2 league races each week!

 

I'll set up a calendar event for it later today.

I had Toyota (now taken) and Porsche in my head to begin with, but haven't driven most of the cars, so will trust your judgement here!

 

GT-Rs win big style points with me, so perhaps Nissan?

 

I can't drive the Gr.4 Porsche to save my life, so Nissan it is🤗

[phil bottle 9,621]

Nice one, I have an inkling as to what GreBones will be going for. So I wont be expecting to find Toyota as a choice 😁

 

@jordie1892  our choice will be after that. Let me know what you fancy. I'm favouring either Aston Martin, Peugeot or Nissan but I'm up for whichever you prefer.

[phil bottle 9,621]

As it's likely me that'll be setting them up I would say as follows:

 

The only time there will be mandatory pit stops is when there is a requirement to use two different types of tyres, which won't be often. But will happen at least once.

 

Other than that, if you can make a no stop work then go for it.

[phil bottle 9,621]

Seeing Fraga and Hizal there I'm looking forward to this event.

I’m up for some races but will understand if people want to give it a miss for a week 🙂

I've stuck it in the calendar so let's see 👍

[phil bottle 9,621]

I haven't put up an event for this Thursday what with the football being on, as i anticipate low attendance.

 

But if a few people still want to play, let me know and I'll set it up.

[phil bottle 9,621]

Some great racing last night and we discussed the team selection so let's try and pick our teams 

 

@JBR-Kiwi  and @Macca89  are up first, so crack on lads 👍

I said before that I think it should run similar to touring car/gt racing.  The manufacturers race their cars but privateers can buy cars from whichever manufacturer they want and then race themselves.

 

This does rule out people out of the team championship but realistically they are anyway if they’re only making a handful of races.

 

So we in teams will pick different manufacturers in the order Jordie randomised.  Everyone else still has to pick a manufacturer but has free reign to pick whichevrr one they want.

That makes sense and we can do a privateer league for those guys too so they have something to compete for.

[phil bottle 9,621]

Excellent work @jordie1892  🤗

 

@Mikepjbell  let me know about races, if you haven't the time I'll sort it this evening 👍

 

Yep @Greboth first new season race will be the return of @Misneach_

 

 

[phil bottle 9,621]

I've switched it to Thursday 👍

[phil bottle 9,621]

So, when do we want to change to Thursdays?

 

@slamminbones  can't make tomorrow, so could change it this week?

 

Let me know what you think🙂

There may be a couple missing as the resource I found was from Nov 2020...

That list will be accurate as no N300 cars have been added since then as far as I'm aware. So, I'd say forget about N300 as not enough choice.

 

From the top list there's a dozen decent manufacturers and we can remove the worst ones when you do the 'draw' or or whatever way is decided.

Just now, jordie1892 said:

Just had a brief look through the manufacturers, seems like sticking to GR3 and GR4 definitely gives us the most options. Quite a few options including N 300 too, depends what people want to do?

 

I'd go with sticking to that then!

@phil bottlecan we split up the races between us? Not sure I could come up with all of them
