Spa doesn't have time change does it?
 
Just changing weather.
 
Hi, sorry was meant to scratch that from the rules list
 
any prices?? if not it isn't worth it
 
Any specific rules for the cars? This may just turn into a Ford GT Spec II Test Car race. With the current rules that car is by far the dominant car.
 
There will be a trophy for 1st only, delivered to the winner
having done the 24hr of the nurburgring, we found the GT test car to be a nightmare in the rain, so bear that in mind. obviously it is fast in the dry. its the car we won the race with by 3 laps,
however, if this is an issue, i can simply ban the car.
 
please let me know if you guys would like the Test Car to be banned from the race
 
a real trohpy u mean right?
