    Was thinking of holding a Black Jack Tribute Race, still thinking of car/track combo, maybe LCC Rocket (sort of similar in looks to old f1 cars) on some layout of Silverstone.

    Ill be in, if the 97T has a base model maybe paining it blue like the Brabham BMW. Even though he had nothing to do with the team at that stage as Bernie owned it then.

    Oh and old school Brands has to be a must, that race where he lost it 10 meters to the line when out of fuel sticks out.

    Good idea mus, hadn't thought of that, the rocket isn't the most exciting thing anyway.

    I'll be in this, I would be proud to honour Sir Jack, I can't see what the 97T has got to do with it though, your original idea of the Rocket is very appropriate as it would be closest in dynamics and performance to what he did battle with in his prime. The upcoming Senna release Brands Hatch circuit would be prefect. The Silverstone Circuit in GT6 is nothing like the Silverstone that Jack raced on.

    I know it was just that Silverstone seemed the most appropriate out of the current selection.
    And having driven grand prix legends, the rocket is most likely very far away from Grand prix cars of the day. It's fairly slow and seems to have an immense amount of grip. When I first saw it I was hoping for something very different lol. Will probably do a vote on the car eventually.

    But I get what your saying I think lol, a bunch of rockets would look nice and I very much doubt the 97t will get a base model. So yeah probably closest thing in game though very far away still.

    Maybe we could put a low grip tyre on it for that authentic feel. Get that ass sliding a bit.

    Yeah to be honest I haven't driven it in a while lol, mostly cos I remember being fairly disappointed with it, too grippy for my liking as was expecting something totally different. Anyone remember what the standard tyres were? Can't remember what I was using it with.

    What about the 60s le mans cars, he actually raced them in the 60s.

    I must be psychic, I sort of knew you'd do a Black Jack tribute :)
    I'm most certainly in, cannot miss an opportunity to pay tribute to one of the most underrated champions in F1.

    Lol must be profile pic I guess, never organized event before figured this was good opportunity and one I'd be enthusiastic to do.
    @mus id probably rather keep it to something f1-ish, especially at brands

    Now we have old school brands, will start testing some things for the rocket, which will be the car used.
    I know it doesn't have a very high top speed, but maybe around here it will be enough anyway?
