Server is up. I will work out how many laps the race will be once I have done some laps

[slideways]

Well I managed 8 consecutive laps without incident so far. Now just have to figure out how to double that and go heaps faster...

Car Selection: Round 1 your choice.
Subsequent Races: As per a handicapping method, the better you do, the slower the car...

So is this still happening, or free choice?

I hate it when someone finds flaws in my ideas!
will think about this, it may take the fun out of it, ie: one car all season should give us "yin and yan" of each car...

nice work GW.

If gawaterman wants a slower car Bruce, give it to him, he needs some handicapping! But nobody else is allowed to swap cars.

Looking at the practise lap times at Longford it would be pretty hard to pick the slow cars from the fast cars, cos the times didn't vary much from car to car. The Sierra was quickest but that was a Sierra track.

Also, are we going to make rolling starts the norm, if the Sierra's get on the front row every time we are going to get some chaotic starts. But then again that gives them a big advantage.

Sorry Bruce

Definitely hats off to the non sierra drivers, I couldn't get those times out of either of those other cars.

[AJ]

If you go to about 80% clutch with the throttle pinned for the first few seconds after the lights go out, you can launch the Sierra just as fast as the other cars. Just takes a bit of practice.

Tried that idea works great, thanks AJ.

Would it be possible to run stracker on practice serve so we know if we are on the pace or not?

[Bruce]

No need to be sorry GW, all cool.
I think we stick with the cars we have run, newbies (ie Bird ) and others, can leverage off the first round experiences
Would have been happy to convert to rolling start, but now with some excellent instruction for non "Sierra Hot Initiation Start"s from driving coach AJ, lets leave it as a grid start, and we will take care!

looking forward to the next round...

Sorry I have inquired and Its nots possible to run stracker on the server  

I will try to put results from practice up every day or so
