Non official race Thursdays 31/03/2011

Date: Thursday 31 March
Track: New Toscana road track - I'll make one of a similar standard to the last race, I think that worked well.
Race times - 9:00 room opens, 9:10 racing starts.
PP - 587 (again).
Tyres - open (we'll all be on racing soft of course).
Car - Non-liveried cars only - i.e. no race cars, for the fun of it let's race supercars etc only, no RM cars included in ban. Any other aero mods are fine.
Weight - Thinking I'll set this to min 1200kg, but happy to adjust if we want to.
Penalties - off.
Catch up - maybe high so we keep it close!
Aids turned off.
Damage off - worked well in the wet.

As per the last non-league race, I'll set up a track and share it this weekend, then before the race I'll create a new one based on the shared one, so car setups should be in the right ballpark. We'll then race 'fresh' with a bit of learning time...
Note to those new to this course, it's a road course, so less grip, and there's a lot of over crest corners in the toscana circuits generally, so a car that can turn in well will benefit in these races.

And... this is about racing for the sport, not the win. Personally I'll not be picking my 'best car', more a car that gives me the most rewarding drive - although there's no frickin way I'll be racing my enzo, that has the characteristics of soap when it comes to cornering...

Just to be clear, RM cars are included in the ban - apologies my grammar was terrible.
My Grampa wasn't great either...
