Hi @Craig Dunkley , please sign me up to this one too. Alfa #7 if possible. Thanks for hosting all these joyful races.

Sadly this will be my last race with you DTM guys
In September I start work again and I finish at 21:00 UTC+2, so the earliest I can make it home from Monday to Thursday is at 21:30 UTC+2, after summer time it will be 20:30 UTC+1, so I'll miss practice and most part of qualy, therefor it'll be no respectful to occupy a place in the grid for the event. I'd be able to participate in races celebrate on Friday till Sunday, whatever categories are they.
Rest assure that in the event of "making" time, DTM or DRM will be my pleasure.
Anyway, let's don't dwell on this. There are two more races to burn rubber and try to beat the Mercs and BMWs.

That is a shame, but of course work sadly has to come first

Due to a holiday I will not participate this event but I will download the track. Since you started these combo's I have enjoyed them very much and I hope you still be organising them when I'm back half september. I wish everyone lots of fun and fair racing the coming mondays!

 

[pattikins]

Count me in please Craig. I'm not sure which car I want to drive, but I'll let you know well in advance of the race.

I did a couple of laps around the Longford circuit - very pretty - and found a bug. I hit the hay-bales @ turn 1 and then slid in to the left side of the bridge... From there I did a few more tests and I found that I either ended up back in the pits or I was caught in an endless loop.

Yes I am aware of this bug, sorry I just had forgotten about it ....we just need to make all drivers aware of this,
I can mention it in TS..welcome aboard Patrick

The old circuits are ab buggy, so it seems. All of them something off. Mainly because the reproduction is only from pictures and that not very many use them. So there is not s continuous update. There was a SRS League some time ago using all those with lotus 49 and all the old circuits felt weird.

 

[Craig Dunkley]

I am sad..very little love shown for this combo, unless we get a sudden surge of drivers, this event will not become official (cancelled)

 

[Ray Charlebois]

Hi Craig, I wasn't sure if I was able to race but looks good so far. I really like these Combos you come up with, even better than GT3 at Spa
I practiced this track with the Alpha Romeo a couple nights ago and it was fun. Going to try and squeeze a few more KPH by lowering my aero. I did some mock races with the AI and the robots had quite a bit of difficulty. They crashed into each other a lot and slowed way down for the 90 degree turns. Another interesting thing is the race start is similar to Donington 67, cars grouped in rows of 3 wide. I personally didn't experience any bugs. (just the ones on my windshield lol)
Sorry to be so late but if you could make an entry for me please with the Alpha Romeo 155 Ti
Hope to see you guys on track

Yes the track is not so good when racing against AI ..you will actually find this out on a lot of "mod" tracks ... Consistency will play a very large roll in this event, remember that

The idea is to offer something different to GT3, thankfully Joel step up and is looking after the GT3 events now, which frees up some of my time to concentrate on alternative events. It is a bad time of year though for simracing (summer) but normally starts picking up again early October.

Any events that I personally post will not become official until we have at least 8 drivers on the grid, if I have to cancel an event that you have entered, you will receive a message informing you of the cancelation. Should this arise, I normally like to try and give you around 8 hrs notice (no guarantees) so you are able to re-plan your day/night.
