RaceDepartment.com US Club Practice #36 practice server will be provided.

Drivers, car choice must be in by 16:00EDT Thursday to assure your choice so I can set the server. If you're late, you get what you get. Thanks for understanding.
A message to all Drivers
If you run off track, you have to check and see that its clear before you re-enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.
When entering the track from the pits stay off the racing line until you are up to speed and do not race on your out lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.
Golden Rule

1. Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

 

[InsaneOzzie]

It's a no brainer.......Zakspeed Capri Please Mr OVERLORD sir

 

[Craig Dunkley]

Lancia please

 

[Richard Dastardly]

Probably Capri, I had my first rollover in one ( thanks mum! I managed to sleep through it though )

 

[JBaeumle]

Hello!
Sorry for not joining you guys today, but i had some other stuff to deal with.
But ... i cant miss these DRM!! Ill go with Zakspeed, just love the sound of that thing!

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Everybody seems to love the Zakspeed Capri.

As Zakspeed was openly cheating in real life (argueably illegal aero devices) somehow this Division 1 (!) Zakspeed Capri has smuggled itself onto this Division 2 grid.

So if Bobby could also enter the Div 1 Toyota which matches the Capri in speed I’ll take the Toyota.
If Bobby has locked down the grid already, I will just drive the BMW 320i out of protest and finish last.

No Porsche on the grid in a Gr.5 race - this is just too much to take.
I am now fully convinced that Bobby just HATES Porsche, he truly hates them. I want a divorce.

 

[Neal Ches]

Definitely in for this. I need to do some testing but I'm leaning towards either the Bimmer 320i or the glorious Lancia. Love the Zackspeed but apparently everyone else does too and I dont want this to be a single make series. Plus, someone has to be keep @Dirk Steffen company and I guess it's my turn to fall on that sword.

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Zakspeed Capri 1.4l Div 2 ~450hp
Zakspeed Capri 1.7l Div 1 ~590hp (the car in the DRM Revival mod)

 

[Richard Dastardly]

I bet noone else loves it because it was their first accident!

Is there a 934 of any sort somewhere? alternatively how does the BoP restrictor work, is that just a flat power reduction? if it does we could even add an asthmatic K2 for you

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Nah, no worries, it will be ok with Capri vs the rest. There is no Porsche that would fit the bill and BoP'ing the DRM car rooster would make any sane persons head explode - we have done some very extensive lap time testing of the major DRM cars and I personally think that it just should not be done to these cars and they should be let loose as they were in the actual DRM as nature intended.

Did you actually call a Porsche 935 ... gasp ... "asthmatic" ???

If I am not allowed to Jaegermeister with a 935, I am going to drive the other orange beast instead.

... see you and your ... rotten ... Capris in the land of waffles, french fries with mayonnaise and beer ...

 

[Richard Dastardly]

Oh god I wasn't suggesting trying to properly balance them! just wondering if an AC restrictor could bring the Capri down to a Div 2 car. A K2 rsstricted enough would certainly be asthmatic

My thoughts exactly. I'd love to drive the Capri, but my reason for using the 2nd division was because when both are available, nobody drives the Div 2 cars. I'll run the BMW as well

 

[Bobby Pennington]

A Convict Capri just like the doctor ordered. Drive it like you stole it

 

[Bobby Pennington]

Capri please

You've got it.

 

[Bobby Pennington]

Probably Capri, I had my first rollover in one ( thanks mum! I managed to sleep through it though )

Wow, that's some history with the car. You've got your wish.

No porblem at all man. We all have lives.........well I used too. You've got a Capri

It's really a tough thing to do proper BoP and with these cars, I just let them be what they are. Division 1 cars get used every time we do these events and I was just trying to change things up a bit.

 

[InsaneOzzie]

Well, seeing as there is some disturbance within the force over the Zakspeeds dominance, maybe we should run just one car, like the 320i, it would certainly level the playing field some what. We can run Div 1 next week, then alternate back to a div 2 car the week after, just a thought
