The practice server is up with a bunch of varied cars, which should give some good mixed racing, at Brands Hatch:
Abarth 500 Assetto Corse
Alfa Romeo 4C
BMW 1M Stage 3
BMW Z4 E89 Step1
Ford Mustang 2015
Lotus Evora S
Nissan Skyline GTR R34 V-Spec
I've thrown on a bit of ballast to try to compress the lap times a bit. Put some lap times in, and let's see how the cars stack up here: http://52.63.217.129:50041/lapstat?currservers=acserver2 (http://52.63.217.129:50041/lapstat?currservers=acserver2)
Next week's fun run is just going to be a few 6 lap sprints where you can jump in and out of a few different cars. No sign up or car renting required - just turn up.
Practice is going to be all the cars combined.
Race 1 - choose one of the Nissan, BMW Z4 or Mustang.
Race 2 - Mustang, Alfa, Abarth.
Race 3 - Abarth, BMW 1M, Lotus.

I'll be off for a couple of weeks. Sold my house and gotta move next week.

I'll be away for 2 weeks on holiday ;D ;D

OK, we'll be having some other fun run the week after next, and then the season can start when you return.

Added some info in the 1st post:

Race 1 - choose one of the Nissan, BMW Z4 or Mustang.
Race 2 - Mustang, Alfa, Abarth.
Race 3 - Abarth, BMW 1M, Lotus.
I've adjusted the ballast/restrictor based on the lap times I'm seeing, to squeeze up the gaps between the cars a bit and spread them evenly.

Seeing the Abarth, BMW & Mustang on track at the same time weirdly made me think of the Mini v Cortina v Galaxy days. :D
Just modern...... ;)

Sorry for my absence recently. Been struggling to get back to it after Xmas. Who knew 3 kids under 7 and a full time job would be so tiring. Gets to the evening and can't even be bothered to leave the sofa. I'll try and make the fun run tomorrow though.

I'm hoping it should be an interesting mix of cars on track.

Think of it as de-stress time. Under Dr. Wally's orders.

Server's up (password protected). The 1st practice session has all the cars; then I'll break it into 3 sprints in groups of cars.
Race 1 - choose one of the Nissan, BMW Z4 or Mustang.
Race 2 - Mustang, Alfa, Abarth.
Race 3 - Abarth, BMW 1M, Lotus.
Remember, the cars aren't all meant to be the same, they're meant to be evenly staggered in performance.

Sorry guys: will have to miss tonight. I'll be on a "maybe" schedule for the next few weeks, but usually in.

Here are the race results, if you want to see how the cars performed.
RACE 1 (https://xgnassettocorsa.blogspot.com/2019/02/fun-run-mixed-bag-at-brands-hatch-race-1.html)
RACE 2 (https://xgnassettocorsa.blogspot.com/2019/02/fun-run-mixed-bag-at-brands-hatch-race-2.html)

I've also attached the practice times, if you want to see those.

I only had a short practice in a few cars and only one more on the night, so not every car and forgot to save the set for the abarth. I also preselected my car choice without really considering lap times and chose, mustang, abarth, m1 (not tested and no set up until final qually).
R1. Surprising last lap effort to snag pole in the first race, I just had to keep it straight with qualifying times and not let anyone past in the race, a few slides though and I thought I'd send myself off like usual but kept it together (enough).
R2. The abarth deserves it's own championship. Good fun battles with everyone.
R3. So not much of a set up and toying with boost control during the race meant I got close to mael and freezer, not enough to pass, but also possibly running out of juice. I wound down the boost to save fuel and dropped off the lead battle.
Again Abarth needs it's own series, also there's the seat leone? mod that would be great for a pommy touring car series too being similar to the Abarth ie fwd, not everyone likes fwd but variety is the spice...
Thanks all

I agree, the Abarth is a lot of fun. Since I still have another week to kill while people are away, let's have a fun run in the Abarth next Tuesday. Get those rear wheels in the air!
I had some good battles: my Alfa vs. Phil's Mustang, my Abarth against Bacchulum's Mustang, my Z4 versus Joe's Skyline. I reckon it will be good racing.
-
I second the Abarth! If kept to tighter tracks it would make for great battles with the power cars.
I had fun trying to hang it around the outside of Mael in the mustang!!

Was good to race after a couple of months off. I didn't try the Abarth but I enjoyed driving the the Nissan most of all those I tried.

The Nissan is a good car, would usually be my selection but the BMW's handling was too enticing, especially the M1. Plus it appeared a bit slow, hope it was not the driver :P

The M1 was still a bit understeery compared to the Nissan. Nowhere near as bad as the Mustang though.
