World Classic Car Selection Table for Rounds 1 - 24
​

All Drivers please use the following table to help you select your cars for future rounds, NB you will use a different car for each group of rounds so over the course of a full 24 rounds all drivers will have raced in each type of car.

IMPORTANT: to save cluttering up this thread please tell me your car selection by using the GTPlanet conversation facility. To date I have the round 4-6 car choices from Harsk, Flaco, Lex, Kisko, Whisper and Rehdogg.

And ANOTHER THING: Why a driver will be crowed champion of a Corvette vs Cobra in a Round 6?

Note: because of the different handling characteristics of the Lotus Europa from the FR cars, the one make event will be held last in rounds 4-6 (we will start those rounds with the World Classic Cars, then Cobra v Corvette, then Lotus).

And ANOTHER THING: Why a driver will be crowed champion of a Corvette vs Cobra in a Round 6?

The season for that championship is 6 rounds long i.e. 3 rounds in each car.

 

[Jbaffoh]

Yes I was following you and there was certainly a lot of tire smoke in front of us. In the lap 10 incident all I could see was smoke and cars flying everywhere. I aimed for the

[ZuluWraith]

Hi everyone, here's my choices: (pending approval)

Shelby Cobra - White/Racing Stripes, Classic Wire Knock-off Plain
Pontiac Tempest Le Mans GTO - Silvermist Gray, Classic Steel Smooth

For Rounds 4-6:

Shelby GT350 - Highland Green Mika, Enkei 5spoke
Art Morrison Corvette - Ipanema Sand, Classic Steel Smooth

Thanks!

 

[Jbaffoh]

Well, that was fun! My Art Morrison was handling well until I left the track three times at the end of lap 4, and plummeted from 2nd to 6th. Then three more off-track penalties thwarted any chance for a comeback. I guess the key is to stay on the course!!!

 

[Harsk100]

I'm sorry about not finishing the 2 last races... I got disconnected from the server...

 

[LexLathor]

I'm sorry Harsk!
I think it was a technical problem.
see:

 

[Harsk100]

Today it was a disaster. Now my chances of win the championship are on the risk...

 

[Jbaffoh]

Lap One: (right to left) Flaco__13, LexLathor, Whisper_Crew, Zulu Wraith.

The '63 bobbled momentarily in the race for third, and Whisper_Crew's '54 left behind an Emotional-Rekz.

 

[Jbaffoh]

My first pick for Lotus colors would be Lotus Yellow. Second would be Colorado Orange, or Roman Purple.

May I keep my Ferrari 250 GT in its original Rossa?

My Cobra is currently Guardsman Blue with white stripes. I could change it if needed.

I have good tunes for the '54 Vette and Art Morrison if anyone is interested.

I'm SOOOOO glad to get rid of my '59 Vette Concept!

1st Lex Lathor
2nd Harsk
3rd Sick Cylinder

Good racing, but sadly lots of connection problems today. Below 1959 Corvette racers start racing.

Harsk tops the table with Flaco and Lex Lathor tied on points in second place.

For Rounds 4-6 all drivers will use the Lotus Europa Special at 690kg 207bhp​

Race Report - Laguna Seca - World Classic Cars

1st Lex Lathor - BMW 507 1957
2nd Flaco - Mercedes Benz 300 SL 1954
3rd Whisper Crew - Corvette C1 1954

Above Sick's GTO chased by Birdseed's E Type Jaguar. Below Whisper C1 chased by Zulu GTO.

Some of the classic cars were enhanced with wire wheels: above Flaco 300 SL, below Emo Corvette C2.

Harsk had connection problems. Lex lathor top with Harsk and Flaco tied on points for joint second place.

For Round 4-6 all drivers will race a different type of classic​

Race Report - Laguna Seca - Cobra v Corvette

1st Flaco - Cobra
2nd Lex Lathor - Cobra
3rd Emotional Rekz - Corvette

ZuluWraith Cobra at the Corkscrew looked great with a nice choice of driver clothing.

Lex in blue Cobra outbraked himself in an effort to pass Flaco's grey Cobra; Whisper in gun metal Corvette slipped through and Lex slipped to third and a fresh battle. For several laps Corvette and Cobra battled.

Eventually the Corvette lost control and the Cobra slipped through to make it a Cobra one, two, Corvette three and four. Below, not a careless Whisper, but a recalcitrant Corvette.

Above, the top placed Corvettes of Whisper and Emo in the pits. Below, Flaco Cobra wins!

Lex Lathor leads with Flaco second and Harsk, who suffered connection problems third. In the manufacturers tables below, BMW now heads Shelby in World Classics and Cobra has moved back ahead of Corvette.

For Rounds 4-6 the Cobra drivers switch to Art Morrison Corvettes, while the Corvette drivers switch to Shelby Cobras still at 1240kg 453bhp

Next Round - Sunday 6th April - Brands Hatch Indy 20 Laps

You could be part of the fun - just send an FR to Sick_Cylinder​

Sick, why in image there's 6 rounds INSTEAD of 24? The championship is 24 ROUNDS! AND ANOTHER THING: How many laps is the Brands Hatch?

That's ok, the rest of us needed a chance to catch up!

I finished 2nd on Corvette but at least I'm on the lead.

 

[Jbaffoh]

Sick strategy: Kill the brake markers! Mr. Cylinder took out Nos. 4, 3 and 2 in lap one! LOL!!

 

[Jbaffoh]

Lap 1: ZuluWraith chose the path less traveled, and Emotional-Rekz followed...

...but being the Rekz he is, he had a sudden change of heart and chose the opposite path less traveled...

...while Flegma69 glided through the center as if he had wings!

 

[Jbaffoh]

From page one: The Cars: - No wings or spoilers

 

[Sick Cylinder]

Great shots Jbaffoh (Whisper) and many apologies regarding the braking markers - I got a good launch following a bad qualifying and got level with Zulu's GTO and went too wide in my efforts not to hit anyone.

The Flegma wing certainly looked more Chaparral than Shelby - hopefully no more wings on classic cars unless they were factory fitted from new.

I'm just adding a few race pictures earlier in the thread.

 

[Sick Cylinder]

Sick, why in image there's 6 rounds INSTEAD of 24? The championship is 24 ROUNDS! AND ANOTHER THING: How many laps is the Brands Hatch?

Round 4 at Brands Hatch Indy will be 20 Laps.

This race series has 24 rounds, which is split into 4 seasons of 6 rounds. Champions will be crowned at the end of each 6 round season and there will be champion of champions crowned in each of the three categories at the end of 24 rounds. This length was chosen because racers tend to come and go and if the season is too long new drivers are discouraged from entering if they know they have no chance of winning a championship. This way new drivers can enter and still have a chance of winning the championship in seasons 2, 3 or 4. It also has the advantage that the spreadsheets of results for each season can be easily viewed.

At the end of 24 rounds this thread will be closed and if we are still using GT6 and not GT7 Prologue or GT7 a new series will be launched.

 

[IfAndOr]

I'm sorry I missed all the fun of the first two races. I joined for the last race (corvette) but had a disastrous start (sorry flegma) and sort of gave up after that.

Anyway here's a few shots from....
