Re: Timing Board

Told, nor consulted = still happening in my book. I arranged cover at work to attend it.

It is still happening on the same date and time its just not an event anymore its an extra round of the CER championship.

Read the blog it's all on there.

by **CQR Aero** Thu 24 Jun 2010 - 10:28

Oh wow - the blog actually materialised!??!?

by Guest Thu 24 Jun 2010 - 10:29

Gentlemen, please read the Blog before jumping to conclusions.

The meeting is still happening as planned, just not as an 'Event', instead as a additional round of CER.

"...the difficult decision has been taken...."

By whom, and for what reason(s)? Has the race length now been shortened from its intended 2 hours?

Is this just because of the football/grand prix/tennis?

As long as we still get the event ROC points, that will be fine. That means 600 points to the winner!!! Big race guys.

by Guest Thu 24 Jun 2010 - 13:30

The only thing that has changed is it will now be classed as a CER round and points will count towards the CER championship.

The numbers we are expecting are not large enough to merit 'event' status in our view.

The demand for 'classic' racing has simply not been present, which is something that has been keenly noted by the staff.

On a personal note I would have kept on turning up to this if TCS was allowed.

wimp

nah all of the R2 cars are horrible without TCS a lot more difficult than any of the R1 car so i cant blame you.

Ha, it was ok if I had the time to practice like at Road America I didnt mind coz I could practice and get used to it but I've drastically scaled back my participation since then and I dont get time to practice and get used to no TCS again. I think thats what may have put people off. That McLaren is especially awkward without TCS.

I just wondered how this decision was made, seeing as I was testing with the Head Steward yesterday, and he apparently had no idea that the event had been downscaled to this extent. I have to say that aside from the disappointment of this downscaling, I'm disappointed at the late notice and general way the events have been handled to date. There is very little information filtering down from the staff at the moment, and I suspect that there is little communication going on BETWEEN the staff too.

It was good trying to race with the Ferrari, as of now, I will probably not be racing in this anymore. Thanks.

anyone test at Suzuka yet?

by **Radiation Louis** Fri 23 Jul 2010 - 22:58

i did just to make sure everythingwas right for the 450PI build but other than that no...

by **LMR DarthMario** Fri 23 Jul 2010 - 23:15

im sure Suzuka might have hints of the LeMans Classic, as your Vette would most likely out power me down the straights, while my little E30 hugs the corners

by **Radiation Louis** Sat 24 Jul 2010 - 4:51

well remember the drag race we had at road atlanta your BMW was outrunning me A LOT!

by **LMR DarthMario** Sat 24 Jul 2010 - 11:53
