USGT Championship - General Discussion

Feel free to discuss all things Series related.

If its American championship, how come there is a Japanese Track in the Calendar?

There are 2 (Suzuka & Motegi) and because we were looking to add those two in order to build up the Calender , plus at one point it was named (World GT).

Oh and BTCC runs outside its domain territory too

NASCAR had a round in Canada... Does it really matter?
 

Just think of them as flyaway rounds, the British GTs go to Zandvoort...

Very odd that Road America isn't on the schedule though...

Road America was the candidate for an "intro round", basically a practice/media day before the Series starts to give people a chance to try out the cars and the racing style.

Or may even be a "one-off" Endurance after the series has ended not sure, but it'll deffo be featured.

Gutted I cant defend mt title but enjoy this guys.

Why not?

This'll be fun. Need to figure out if I want to legitimately do it, or screw around and show up occasionally.

Does it?

Where is BTCC's round outside of its domain territory? And if you say Knockhill i will go Liam Neeson on yo ass

It's not called the English Touring Car Championship, we're still a part of Britain...for now at least...

Unless Scotland goes independent the BTCC is completely in the UK.

Britain is the island, Scotland will always be part of Britain unless they're planning on cutting off part of the land and moving it. Britain contains Eng, Sco and Wal

However if Scotland becomes independent, they won't be part of the UK. That contains Eng, Sco, Wal and NIR.

So yes, the BTCC would still go to Scotland, independence or not, I'd assume. It's not the UKTCC.

ahem, anyway...

It's ok, we'll still be a part of the UK come October

So, yeah, US GT should be good...

I was teasing the Scots participating hehehe

Yaaay!! Abruzzi!!

If memory serves; from a motorsport governing perspective, a series can still be classed as 'national' so long as there's no more than two rounds that aren't 'local'.

As far as USGT goes, am well up for this! got a title to defend after all shame there's no Road America, yet anyway, it's my favourite yank track. Hopefully it will make an appearance at some point. Are the times for USGT going to be 7:30pm for qualifying and 8m for the race?

If you want to do part time and can make rounds 3, 4, 7 and 8 Me and You can split time in the Corvette.

Normally I do not run a Sunday 3pm EST Series. But seeing as my schedule will allow me to make rounds 1, 2, 5 and 6 I am willing to give it a shot and field a 3 car team.

On a serious note, if / when the Circuit of Wales is finished, I wonder which of the current calendar tracks will be dropped to make way.

But I digress, Team HARD will have a 3 car official entry and 1 supported privateer in this, just need to decide which car

Will Sunset Peninsula be run regular or reverse? I hope we all don't have to try and get off the banking together into that bottleneck left/right chicane on the opening lap... also, will there be a dropped round?

Also, for at least the first round of this series I will be running a "One for the Boys" livery in memory of West Ham academy player Dylan Tombides, who sadly died today aged 20 after battling testicular cancer on and off for 3 years.

Dylan did a lot of work with the "One for the Boys" campaign, Chaired by Samuel L. Jackson, so it felt only fitting that I run something.

I'd like to urge everyone to get over to their website ( Here ) and to check yourselves out regularly. There's no excuse.

Warspite what is the PI for the Porsche? Stock with just race brakes?

I'll consider it. Talking to a few of my old regulars first time see if we want to run as a group, like the 'old days' of 2012.
