    Hi guys.

    Based on the popularity of the Le Mans endurance, I am looking to do another 1960's endurance race but this time at Spa. I know not everyone will have the track but they're the breaks :(

    The difference this time is: The cars will be all GT40's and no tuning allowed.

    Track: Spa Francorchamps-
    Car: Ford GT 40 Race Car '69 (Standard car, check UCD or do a B-Spec Indianapolis win)
    Laps: 30
    Weather: On
    Tuning: Prohibited
    Performance Points: 564
    Tyres: Race Hard
    Quali: One lap shoot out!


    Race will be on Sunday 23rd Sept. Qualifying will be from 8:15 - 8:30 and then the race will begin. Remember it is a one lap shoot out so do one lap during that time frame and park it up.

    Room will be opened at about 7:45.
    Likely starters:
    Me (guarenteed)
    Cyber (most likely)
    TC (probably)
    Barra (maybe)
    Zampli (probably)
    TheStig (guarenteed)
    nat (probably)
    Anon (possibly)
    colin (maybe)
    mmm_homebrew (possibly)
    Stu (possibly)

    Podium:
    1st: Cyber_stig77
    2nd: Barra333
    3rd: natmanscoop

    I may have to postpone this to after S8 is over. Probably get more interest in the off season for a Sunday night anyway. Will wait and see due to there being bugger all posts thus far :)

    Just thought I would provide an update to this.

    I will be holding this race during the S8 - S9 hiatus so only a few weeks to go. Be good to garner more interest in this to make it a larger grid. Allowing for a possible "Clash of the Titans" race being one or two Sunday's after the Series ends on 2 Sept, I am pencilling this in for 23/9 :)

    You can put me down for a 'probably' if it is on the 23rd. I quite like the old GT40.

    I'm in as long as I do the B-Spec at the Brickyard. Will hopefully get to it soon, like the non-tuning races for accessibility:)
