As I suspected the two slowest Prototype 2 cars are fairly compatible with each other. I have only tested on standard settings (pretty much all I race with normally) using the DS4. I'll be racing with my wheel though.

So the choice is these two

Palmer Jaguar JP-LM
Radical SR3 RS

Reserve a livery by reply (let's try and keep one of each for variety).

The Palmer Jaguar JP-LM has traction control by default. You can turn it off if you have it mapped to a button or do it in the game setup options. The Radical doesn't have the option of traction control. Either way the choice is yours. I found the Palmer was slightly quicker without TC than with it on. However, tyre wear may be higher without it.

Livery bagsier and PSN entry list

We have 16 drivers who hope to race. If we get more than 16 then they're reserves in case of no shows. we'll run a reserve list.

If we get 20 or more that also turn up we'll consider running 2 rooms. The reserves can always run their own race if they don't get in the main one with AI to boost numbers if they like.

Hey JSB, disregard my message last night on the PS4 chat, I can make myself available for this. As I said I haven't been back long and I haven't driven either car so I didn't want to get in anyone's way. That said, I just noticed it's an endurance race! I know for sure I can keep my nose clean and you never know what will happen over the course of an hour. If there's places free I'd like to join, i don't mind being allocated a car since I don't have experience with either. I copied the Tweaker Files for the radical already but that's all. Tbh I prefer the look of the jaguar!

Let me know if I can race, what car would be best, and I'll let you know my colours

That's fine. With the standard setups I'd say the Palmer is a little more stable (even with traction control off) although the Radical is slightly quicker. They're still close. I tried turning the Radical over to BARRY THE CRAP TUNING MONKEY
Barry the C.R.A.P. tuning monkey by johnschoonsbeard, on Flickr
last night and he did his usual job (so I'll be starting with the standard setup).

Talking of old CRAP officials like Barry our older member may fondly remember

We potentially have 15 registered for tonight's race. Great stuff guys. Just a quick note if we get more than 16 then we'll run a reserve list. If we get 20 or more turning up/available to race then we'll consider running 2 rooms.

Also @Spooky Wooky is planning to run another CRAP Endurance race (approx 2 hours) in GT4 cars next weekend on the 22nd or 23rd August. It will only run if it gets decent support. The CRAP Endurance races are planned in a separate thread to this one in the "Series" section of GTPlanet pCARS forum. It's linked below.

Alegunner68 takes the last spot

All racers, please don't invite anyone else into the room until we are sure others can't make it. Thanks.

As I said before if we get enough extra reserves we can either split the racers into two equal rooms or the reserves can run their own race with AI to boost numbers if necessary.
