Please add me to the list.

40 is a huge number of cars to circulate within 2km's of each. You'd be lucky to get a clear lap, faster cars will get the 5hits... Doing the sprints with 15-20 is difficult to get a clear lap when the cars are lapping within 5 sec of each other.

you're already in too!

That is why i asked what circuit we will be running on.
LP runs 2.4km per lap, QR Sprint is 1.89km and QR Clubman is 2.11km.

Having said that i have capped the previous events at LP at 30 and the extras form the reserve list almost always get used up so we only have 30 cars out there anyway.

If we get a choice of circuit, I rate the clubman arrangement. IMO, It's got a bit more character than national and sprint, and turn 3 back onto itself also drops about 4ft elevation, rewarding a balanced car and gentle throttle, or getting loose for those that aren't or overcook entry

Sounds like the Clubman curcuit is the go if we get a choice - I have asked them what are the options and waiting for the Happy laps dude to get back in the office tomorrow.

Re: the number on the track; QR advised me that we need at least 30 to make it viable, so that's a given. They also indicated that 60 -70 on the track is easily manageable, and that they've had 90 on the track (and I quote) "with no worries at all". It might be a different story if you ask some of those 90 drivers if it was enjoyable though...

Clay probably has a point, if there are some people dropping out, it might end up pared back anyway.

Happy to take feedback on the cap limit though!....

If I'm not too late, add me, please!

i like the Clubman too for proper left turns. the normal circuit will probably kill the brakes quicker and i absolutely hate the "chicanes" on the sprint circuit.

Add me too please. Tend to agree with Sean, but I've been a slower car out there...

Cheers for adding me Will be looking forward to trying a different kind of track. Looks like faster cars will have more of an advantage at QR D:

[redline3345]

[QUOTE=team_v;792805]Awesome, on the list!
Do we know what "circuit" we will be using?
i.e. is it the clubman or the sprint circuit?


I'll see if I can find out!
