Think we will go race tyres only. So make sure you have a full selection for the car you wish to run. If people get prepared in time then hopefully they can choose and set up their car today in time for tomorrow.

May set up a Practice room later on today for people to use.

Just need everyone to agree a time. I'm thinking Noon?

Aye, I'm up for that. Only problem is I've just arsed around buying road going lambos etc and tuning them so far, so don't have much of a selection of race cars to choose from. Still up for it though. If you have a practice room today I'd be up for that too... Never really driven that track.

Can be any car you want, just cant be more than 600bhp

Ive got 7mill to burn and about 150 cars to choose from

Probably the only thing you need is a 600bhp car, with race tyres, areo mods and transmission and suspension and away you go

PS3, GT5 isn't on anything else

Well, did a test race the night before last with one of the other PF guys in 600bhp cars, we did ten laps and it took about 50min in total to complete. So Four Hours roughly with time for a qualifying session.

How does the qualifying kicking off at noon sound and then the race start at 12:30 if enough people have turned up.

If you want a fag you need a back up driver.
