ACC The 2.4hrs of Spa Special - Saturday 1st April 2023

[Jay Clarke 66]

If you don't want to use a new livery for an upcoming race day, I just assume you want to use the previous one, and will include it in the pack for the upcoming race!

AMR V8 Gulf as usual for me thanks Johann

I would like to attend, but I'll have people over on the 1st of April.
Most likely will be available, but will have to play it by ear on the day.

@McFlunch, I believe I only used the 1s at monza and I cooked the brakes in around 25 minutes. Never had an issue with the 2, but the only experience I have with long races are from our latest season.

Will we have a full Formation lap or the short run as we usually have?

We'll do short as full tends to end with people in the barriers from warming tyres to "enthusiastically"

I'm interested, but cannot commit just yet, gf's sister is in hospital atm and I'm the taxi driver to visit her because gf doesn't drive. I'll know more next week, but fingers crossed ill be around to take part.

 

[Nascentes]

I'm also interested but also can't commit yet. The good weather is approaching and I'm tired of being home, so it the weather is good I'll probably be outside (eager to camping!). I'll practice anyway and closer to the date I'll confirm.

The last time I did a 2.4 hours racing was at Nordsheleife in Race07 and I was driving the Aston V12. Was in 3rd place and crashed with 16 minutos to go

A smash in the last 16minutes after all that time - that sucks!

 

[CarlosB]

I would love to do it, but it starts too early for me I'm not sure I can do it. Maybe a sign up at last minute.

 

[Hazzatron19]

Sorry I can’t commit to race that long by myself :/ if there was a option to the spilt the drive I would do it

 

[SwannyUK]

If others are interested but it starts too early or it's too long then we can reduce the race to 1.5 hours. That means the start time can go back a bit and potentially more drivers join? Thoughts? I'd like as many drivers to join as possible.

Potential new race start time with 1.5hrs
21:00BST / 20:00UTC / 22:00CEST

 

[Trox]

Happy to do anything if it encourages people to join

Happy to go for a lower race time if it increases the entry count, but *really* I'd like to test myself, see if I can manage multi pit stops and a 2 hour+ drive...

But whatever is best to get the best race that can be had. Next weekend is looking ok, Im rota'd off from Thursday night up to Monday morning, so have all weekend to fit in hospital trips and a bit of practice and a mini 24 hour at Spa.

 

[Jan Larsen]

Happy to do 2.4 hours.

Also, whats the current pecking order of the cars?

I have no problem (I guess as I'm a little bit old ) to do 2.4h if the race starts at 9pm. 1.5h it's ok as well.

I have no problem whether the race lasts 1.5h or 2.4 . Personally, I would prefer 2.4h but if more people are happy with 1.5h then I will gladly follow.

 

[JohannS]

I'm fine with 1.5hrs, but would prefer 2.4hrs, it leaves more room for different strategies
