AC Ferrari 330/Ford GT40/Porsche 908@Highlands, Tue 31st May 2022

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

Have you always wanted to fly through the Scottish countryside at 300 km/h? Here's your chance!

We take the iconic 1966 endurance cars, known from the movie LeMans66 or Ford vs Ferrari. The Highlands Long track has a great flow with slow and fast turns and a very long straight. The three cars have different characteristics, but will perform about the same on this track. In short: everything we need for a great event!

Is this not something to your liking?

Hi Han.
This is right up my street buddy.
However I'm travelling all day on Wednesday, so I was waiting to see how my preparations are going and if I really feel like racing the night before I leave.

Hi John, good to hear from you. Been too long mate.

You have to register on s.gp first. Read about this in the first post of this thread.
You can ask me for the password.

Then when you search for the race server that start at 20.00 use 'racedepartment' as the search string. Make sure you have the filters off.

 

[Noël Soudant]

the first time I tried again after posting this it worked,, I dont know what I did wrong.
but thanks!

 

[HF2000]

Guys,

I'm sorry I quit. I got cramps in my calf AND in my toes of my left leg while braking.
Lame excuse, I know.
I watched Ernie, Hank and Laurent fighting it out. Was great, guys!

 

[Taj Johal]

Should have practiced

 

[H_Belane]

Ernie and Laurent, great.

Stressed to the eye balls, not sure I would want a repeat of that any time soon.
But, great racing with you guys , very fair, most enjoyable, but as was stuck there in the middle of it all, did not have any choice but to join in.
Well done podiums, and especially Porsche drivers.
Great event @HF2000 , shame about the cramp, I have been getting that a lot of late, perhaps you are getting old Han.
Great seeing John racing again, and a special well done to our flying Alan.

That was a workout . Happy to finally get a race done in the GT40. Hard to take it out on tighter tracks when the Ferrari is an option, but here it was at least controllable. Think the battle I had the longest was with Steve, though I'm not sure if either of us overtook the other while the other was on track

Enjoyed the change up with some older non-single seater cars Good race everyone and thanks for hosting Han.

`Well described Rob. We did spend our fair share of time going around in dusty circles. Started bad for me, dont know what i did wrong but dumped in the pits at the start with a 15sec penalty. All down hill from there on in. Still, lots of fun
