Red Ring

If you're not following GT Planet then you'll not know the news, here's a clue:


That's right new track goodness.
Read all about it in GT Planet, or read about it from an F1 Driver (just)...
And whilst it might be the Red Bull Ring to some, I always think that it makes it sound like a shopping centre, so I elect to continue to call it the A1-Ring. Which at least puts it first in the phone directory...

New Season

The new league season is upon us. Or in other words, I finally got round to working it all out.
There are a few things to note about this season:

  • No full on endurance races with points - I just can't sit for that long at the moment.
  • Classes are:
    • CR400 (Classic Racers) - Our trusty 400pp cars we've been racing.
    • HRC460
    • TC500
    • GT590
  • I've opened up GT590 to be cars from any country.
  • Read the charter (on the right) it covers car classes and general racing.
  • The full race log is also on the right, and updated. I take shots from that to give results etc, but if you want a copy feel free to download.
  • Clubman this season is the Senna F3 car - you'll need to get that to obtain points.
  • Points for Clubman remain seperate from the championship.
  • As the F3 cars are going to be faster than most classes I'll race them after the championship races.
  • We'll use the off nights for thrash and catch up if we have a bad PSN night.
  • I will try and remember to announce early the next points race, but we'll endeavour to stick to this list in any case.
So without any more fuss, here's the points nights calendar (Click on the images to make bigger):


Here's the extract from the classes detail in the charter:

To clarify that last point (e.) if you want to race in a car that's not class compatible, you're welcome to but you'll forfeit all but the lowest points possible.

And if you want the full season details, they're here:


And because I like pics of the cars, here are a few:

Top night - briefly

Hi Folks.
Thanks for the top night's racing last night.
Period racing at Brands was excellent, and I certainly think a 'test and tune' night with the Rufs will be fun, we'll arrange that soon.

Those of you who've not got the F3 and F1 Senna cars, go do the races and get silver, you'll get them then for free, and a handy few mil on the way too I think - certainly I've spent up after getting cash from that, including this lovely car:



And once you have those Senna cars you can re-live the legend...


And if you think that's too much for your Friday commute, some light relief that made me laugh. 
"dat stance"...
