Ladies and gentlemen, I am making an appeal to try and find out if there are people out there who fancy racing in the circumstances I have found to be most enjoyable on GT.
Those circumstances are when I find myself in the company of folks who race seriously, but don't take the whole racing-thing too seriously. They casually gather, chat, laugh and kick off a race, finish the race, chat and laugh a bit more. Few of us are good enough to be world champions, so if we're not doing it for fun why are we doing it?
It has to be said, I'm not much into assistant devices and don't use ABS myself, though I realise that this is a step too far for some, so it will be available. Racing tyres are off the menu though, whilst tyre selection should generally reflect the power of the motors being tortured.
Basically, there are two rules, mikes compulsory (What's banter without a mike?), and don't be an idiot. Banter is one thing, but being openly offensive won't be tolerated, at all.
So, if anyone wants to turn up I'll be kicking off this coming Sunday, the 21st September at 7.30pm BST. The first race will be using the 1976 Golf GTI, stock, on comfort medium tyres around six laps of Nurb GP/F, followed by six laps of Spa in the Senna WSR wearing sport medium. Adjustments to this car will be allowed, because otherwise it's in the red for ages each lap. Depletion will be normal, no penalties, no damage. The usual blurb about track limits do apply, although this is racing at its most casual, so an earnest effort at complying with the regulations will pass, whilst persistent clear disregard for them will not.
This racing list isn't exhaustive, but is just for starters and there will be more subject to the mood in the room.
So, there you go, if you love your GT6 racing, and enjoy the banter you might have come to the right place.
Cheers, Zo.
