AC Canceled :( - Two out of Three @ Brands Hatch Indy Tue, August 23rd

[abecede]

No practice? No problem!
This casual event is for having fun with some lesser used cars!​

Choose TWO of these three cars:

• Mazda MX5 ND
• Abarth 500 EsseEsse Step1
• Ferrari 250 GTO

All of them are on pace with each other according to hundreds of hotlappers, but with totally different characteristics. (The Ferrari may be a bit quicker, but it's a hard to tame beast!)
Here are the times of all those hotlappers:

Car	Best time (seconds)	20th percentile (seconds)
Mazda MX5 ND	56.0	59.5
Abarth 500 EsseEsse S1	56.5	60.0
Ferrari 250 GTO	56.0	59.0

We'll drive two short sprint races in England on Brands Hatch Indy!

Hi Markus, would love to try this with you guys. PW please. Thanks

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Ah you are playing with my heart Markus! I unfortunately have a evening shift next week. I shall be vividly thinking of you all doing laps!

 

[abecede]

Aaaw bummer. Wasn't it you who suggested to use Brands Hatch Indy?
I think this can be a fabulous evening!

 

[HF2000]

Nice one Markus! Don't know if I can join but I'll sign up for the 'sheep' effect anyway.

When looking at the cars, some people from the Wednesday races maaay be interested. After all, it's an MX5 and an Abarth. Even if they are slighly different versions of them.

Yes and without setup race setup options so hardly any practice needed.

Yup I did mention Club circuits being a good option and Brands Hatch was top of mind so to speak

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Im in

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Ohhh the Ferrari with my new "H" shifter is sublime,faster than the mazda already..

 

[H_Belane]

Count me in.
With the Mazda as a warm up for the GTO.

 

[abecede]

Quick question... Is there a special Kunos car that you would love to race against other cars? Something a bit unusual? Recommendations very welcome for the next iterations of this format

Alfa 4C

 

[abecede]

Hmmm. Database says Silverstone national with exige 240R s3, Alfa 4c, mx5 Cup and mustang 2015... Mustang is boring, but the other 2 look fabulous...

 

[H_Belane]

Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder

 

[abecede]

Can look it up in about 12 hours

 

[abecede]

Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder

Not a lot of laptimes were made in this beauty.
Only thing with reasonable data was:
Highlands Short with Mazda Miata NA (62.5secs), Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder (61.0secs), Maserati 250F 12 cylinder (61.0secs), Giulietta QV (61.0secs), Alfa Romeo GTA (61.5secs)
Just a very short circuit, but with some really different cars. Could be a candidate for an upcoming 2outof3 as well.

EDIT: or
Magione with Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder (92.5secs), Mazda MX5 ND(92.0secs), Toyota GT86 (92.0secs), Abarth 500 EsseEsse Step1 (92.0secs)
- sadly it's the slowest of the cars

Hello i would like to know the password please :>

 

[abecede]

I had high hopes for today, but alas, it doesn't want to be.

@H_Belane @Allan Ramsbottom @Kek700 and @Alfred Wayne , I'm sad to announce that todays race is cancelled. Five drivers don't make a race...

Guess I'll stop trying to host those rarely used multi-car races and stick to more normal stuff in the future...

See you soon guys, and THANK YOU to all who enjoyed this format as much as I did! We just aren't enough people, as it seems.
