'Open practice' a week before the race
Hello!

The last So City race showed that it's quite difficult for the GT1 and GT2 drivers to get used to each other in the race. The Ky GP race won't be a lot different because the GT1 cars' corner speeds are a lot higher than the GT2 cars'.
To improve this situation I want to suggest an open practice on the sunday evening before the race. The time shouldn't be restricted, but most people should aim for something like 20 - 23 CEST (19 - 22 BST). You can appear earlier, you can apear later, the server can't hold all drivers at a time anyway.
That way we can practice together, make out good overtaking spots, learn where to let GT1 cars pass/where to pass GT2 cars. I believe this will increase safety in the race a lot.

This event needs no administration. We just meet on the 1ST Racing #2 server and drive. No one is forced to be there and it won't be of any advantage in the race. The only thing you get is practice and a hopefully safer race.

Any objections?

We've been using qualifying sessions for this kind of practice as well. Fortunately FZR qualifying setup in SO4 was good for quite a few laps, but yes its good idea to have more time together with many drivers on track with race setups before we actually race.
