@JamKart22
Not too sure if the Ford GT40 needs a bit of BOP against the Ferrari 330,im sure i,ve raced these on another site and the Ford just took off.

@gearwhine Not sure if this is the same Hopkins as me...

Oceanus Hopkins (c.1620 – 1627) was the only child born on the Mayflower during its historic voyage which brought the English Pilgrims to America.

As for racing, I'm up for any historic recreations

 

[JamKart22]

Someone with more talent than me (Allan?) could suggest a suitable Ford BOP...

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

@JamKart,
Maybe the Porsche 908,ohh you,ve got my taste buds all moist now,if i get a spare few minutes over the w,end i,ll try and get a few laps in on a few cars with the same track..I,ll go with SPA 67

 

[JamKart22]

I'd like to run some 67 F1 cars on the spa 67 track but not sure we're allowed to use that track on RD. Can @HF2000 confirm?

All this historic talk, got me all excited for 29th July.....

I'm probably there for the Saturday (8:30 sharp, for BIG breakfast) ....have to work Sunday

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

@Medilloni,
I love a BIG Breakfast,i think i just might have to come to this.

@JamKart, ok i,ll use Zolda 67

So have a go with the gt40, 330 and 908 and see what you can do. Might be worth doing the tests on the old Le Mans circuit. Link in my initial post

Hi all; I'm definitely in for that event on 07/29. Torn between the cars on the line-up since they are all beauties! Thanks Colin for putting that in motion.

On a separate note, but pertaining to race scheduling: I just wanted to mention, I'm considering hosting AC race events here at RD on Fridays, starting next Friday 07/07. They will be early evening races in Europe (lunchtime here in PST), so that folks still have time to head out for Friday night festivities if so inclined. All the other days are already booked with AC races (looks like the club is growing!) so it was either Friday, Saturday or Monday. I chose Friday for now...

I think you guys will like the first event. Han will share details in coming days.
Hope to see you then!

EDIT: Sorry, reading through comments too fast. I meant I'm in for the next event Colin is planning!

One of my rare ( very ) victories in the 330 against the GT40 at le mans, no chicane, against a host of aliens.

@Kek700
I knew we had raced these before,yeh you won that,now i remember.i think i came 3rd, my tyres were shot,thats a few years ago..

 

[Medilloni]

It's actually Colin's idea! He deserves all the credits. I'm only setting it up.

Contentious question I guess, but will ABS be enabled for the event Han?

Only asking 'cos whilst it's a brilliant combo (thanks Colin!), it's also quite a difficult one to last an hour, bearing in mind the penalties (horrendous ) for leaving the track here.

Loving the combo, figuring out who I can bribe to get time off for Tues
