No problem 

There is now a free Porsche CK5 for the season. First to ask gets it.

Simon is a braver man than me!

Testing the CK shortly...

Oh yes. No way I can threaten to win but DAMN that thing sounds good. Hope some other people are in my time zone.

I will take it for the full season. 22 CK5. Thank you Simon and may the Lord be with you in that micro monster you just took!

I practice witch 936c and the car is horrible, definitely horrible. I retire this season. I will not lost my time.

Can I have the abandoned #15 please.

Just to check, it is located in 1983>WEC. ??

Tyres available are Hard Medium and Soft, so I don't need the "No Q tyre" patch?

Which configuration? Spa/Kylami or Silverstone, or neither??

Which engine 1000km or 24Hours.

When I exit car and return to main menu, the gold livery is shown, and I have to select another car than retun to correct car to show right livery ???

Theoretically no, but check that you don't get mismatches entering the server

Any, the only banned is Le Mans

Any, the only banned are the Q engines (As the Q tires)

 Wouldn't the field be closer if only Le Mans was allowed? 

The LM config makes some cars faster at Hockenheim or Avus. If anything, we could have banned the LM config in the 956 and allow it on the rest for closing gaps between the field, but with so many people and variants of the cars it's difficult to police.

If it says in the entry list your car comes from the Le Mans set you can use the Le Mans car, but not a WEC version (If there is even one)

If it says it's in the WEC you must use the WEC version and not the Le Mans.

Hi guys, new driver here. How can I sign up, and what cars are left?

Please change your screen name from retoolooze to your real first and last name. That is a requirement here.

The first page of this topic shows all cars. Right now all are claimed but there may be openings. Once we have your real name we will place you on the waiting list.

Have a good weekend.

Ok, thanks Mike.
Have a good weekend and good luck in the race.

Welcome to HSO Ronald. If you can run on Wednesday afternoons both series then have openings. The other Sunday series (78 F1) has cars that will be one offs each race.

I'd like to get on the waiting list, please

Ok,

Put me on the list for a 956 when/if one becomes available, till then I'll putt around in my Harrier

You can't just swap cars just because something better has come along. We only accept car changes in exceptional circumstances.

You mean driving a Mazda isn't an Exceptional Circumstance?

Ok not a problem.

I´d like to participate too

IMO, it is

I drove the Harrier RX83, apart from the hood cam being crap, it's also rather meh.

IMO, Group C Junior would be kinda funny with just the Rotary-Powered cars and the Stehmo. Maybe the De Cadenet-Cosworth aswell, as it's power seems to be weighted down by it's handling.

I think I'll go and check if every car in C1 has soft tyres as available compound. If these teams can't afford them, who can

LOL, damn close but not quite. Richard told me if I started in a Decadenet I was stuck with it. For the health of my monitor, mouse and other items within reach of my steering wheel I abandoned that torture device!

The Harrier has an interesting place in history.

It was the first true C Junior car, so it won it's first couple of races by virtue of it being the only car there in it's class until the Alba AR2 came along. After that, well even during that time period it was never a good car, of it's first three races, it DNF'd at the Monza 1000km, didn't start at Silverstone. and Failed to Qualify at LeMans.

C Junior, early on, was an interesting class. The only real difference between Group C and C Junior cars was the Juniors had a lower minimum weight, lower fuel allowance, and a smaller fuel tank. Class jumping, as evidenced in the mod, was not an uncommon thing. I've read stories of some privateers in lesser cars who would start one race as a Group C car and the next race as a C Junior.

Unlike the later IMSA system where there was a big difference between the GTP and Camel Lights classes, the Group C and C Junior class line was kind of blurry.

Thanks for sharing that with me Jason, sounds interesting!

Got more history to share?
