I'm in, what aids are allowed and what are the tire restrictions? I'll be bringing a British Racing Green E Type if I can make it.

The only aid that will be allowed is ABS and the tyres that we will be racing on are Racing Softs

Yes mate, completely stock, I may change the tyre choice though...

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Yes mate, completely stock, I may change the tyre choice though...

Oh great wont have to worry about setting her up cool, will post car details tomorrow waiting for reset before delivery cheers TOMO.👍

 

[jackargent]

Count me in. Feel it should be British racing green but will probably go with something else just to be different... Will let you know. If anyone needs a car let me know & I'll sort you out.

 

[Mac K]

I don't want to tell you how to run your event, but it would be much more competitive, fun, and interesting without racing softs, I'd be up for sports soft or even racing hards, but that's just my opinion, it's completely up to you.

I was actually thinking about running it on comfort mediums, good idea?

Haven't tried it out but my gut feeling is the combination of comfort mediums no tuning & cote d'azure is pretty daunting! Racing hard or sports soft sounds better to me if you are after broad appeal.

I agree, but it's up to Tom.

 

[jackargent]

I agree, but it's up to Tom.

Absolutely... If you want to do it totally stock, it comes fitted with sports hard.

 

[Tom]

Right, i've made my decision, sports hards it is!

 

[Mac K]

Right, i've made my decision, sports hards it is!

Sounds good, I should be there. 👍

 

[jackargent]

Right, i've made my decision, sports hards it is!

Good call. I polished up my walnut veneer, ironed my driving gloves, fired up the 8 track cartridge & had a spin in comfort mediums & sports hard & although comfort mediums weren't quite as challenging as I thought, I think sports hard is the right decision.

17:00 GMT is about 12:00 PM Eastern time correct?
