Oooh, those Fat Alfie tracks! I need to try the new one!

Car : Ford GT40/Ferrari 330P4/Porsche 908LH
Day : Thursday

I would like to race Group C the most but not really on Fat Alfie tracks. I think the other options are more suited there.

Well we did a Group C race once on Feldbergring and that was one of the best races I've ever done on RaceDepartment. Flying though the woods with 200+ is very thrilling! Doing 350+ on the straight (Longtail) also.

I did a few laps round the excellent Battenbergring in the Lotus 25 and it was well suited to this track - small, nimble and not crazy powerful - so one to consider in the future?

Is there a car (or more cars) from the same era that have similar performance?

There are a series of 1.5L cars here - but getting them on S.GP might be an issue :-(

The shark nose Ferrari 156 looks great

Yes Bazza mods are not accepted on S.GP or RaceDepartment.

You could always try a race on Battenbergring with just the Lotus 25 - a suitable christening for the new track - maybe @Fat-Alfie would join us?

I had a premiere in mind with the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale but the Lotus 25 is also a good choice for that.

Chose Tuesday but Thursdays are just as good here.

I feel low powered cars are better for Fat Alfies narrow, winding and brutally punishing tracks, so my vote is for Ferrari 250GTO/TVR Griffith 200. Or preferably something even slower like the Alfa GTA

Tuesday is my preference, but thursday works as well.

Note I can't do Thursday. Maybe it would be good to know Tuesday/Thursday/Either

• Ford GT40/Ferrari 330P4/Porsche 908LH
• Tuesday if possible but not essential

combination with Fat-Alfie track selection would be wonderful

Between Tuesday and Thursday, both ok.

Dates are not known yet. What is the 'normal' holiday time in the UK? I will probably not plan these events in the last week of July, whole August and the first two weeks of September.

 

[JamKart22]

School holidays are around 25th July to Sept 2nd
