really? Is it because he did a couple of MoE races last year?
I was under the impression it was a league for people who werent already competing in MoE or IGTC rather than having ever done a race, cos ive done 2 races in MoE myself back in 2007 only the 12 & 24hr races where we have 6 people in the GT1 team and needed the same for GT2 so i was asked.
The daft thing is, if we cant compete in GTAL because pecker was the teams 7th choice driver (was used as part of the GT2 team, and he only did those because we'd hoped our other drivers might be interested next round, so kept on going in hope of getting more interest rather than pull out then not be able to drive when people wanted to etc) and I cant because i was something like 11/12th choice as frankly the slowest & least talented person in mercury by some distance, how can we hope to get into something like IGTC if the step below doesnt accept us because we've done races in it already. It'll mean nothing to IGTC & MoE that we have a couple of races experience (esp with my name on the list :razz and yet it stops us competing in GTAL when the others probably wouldnt consider us because were not a fast enough team.
Does it help if i pretend im the grandson of Colin and we race under 'Lotus'? Might get sued like the Brabham name stealing team mind you
At least it saves me about 20hrs practice for the remaining combos, takes me too long to get beyond okay pace to a pretty competitive one. I started practicing AS5 for MoE 3 months before the race, put in about 20hrs before the others started practicing and within a couple of stints they were a second or so faster and i think i almost got within a second of them just before the race but it wasnt as consistant as they were.
The only reason me and paul wanted to do the remaining race or last race since they are afew teams infront of us because the MoE gt2 class is so fun to drive i do not care where we end up in the race aslong we had some fun doing it , rules are rules.
