Everyone please keep in mind this bit from the rules thread:

“You must drive in each class once (Group C/6 and Group 5) during the season. This rule can be triggered by sharing a car with a different driver in each class.”

We will be checking to make sure everyone is honoring this rule.

I've got a question about that: What happens to an entry if there's a driver on it that didn't fulfill that rule after the race?

Will said driver get no points from the race and/or get disqualified from the championship standings? Or will the whole entry get no points?



@Juha: Well, Timo and friends have booked two cars, who knows if they might agree on a deal. But you're correct, the

(Jaaaaaag)

is his

Coxon will be explaining this rule in detail in a separate thread...

It's the private entry by Christian Bussi though, it has a 3.3 instead of a 4 litre engine. So if you're missing power, that's the reason why.

Shouldn't that entry have the 3.9?  
I've checked multiple places (after Bruno pointed this out to me) and that appears to be the consensus...?

ETA: Other links seem to corroborate that one, if the link is bothersome (not sure, myself)

That combo doesn't appear in game unfortunately

Keep in mind it was noted as "DNA - Did Not Appear". But yeah, it's a bit incomplete, even if the car didn't take part

Actually, why did the workd Rondeau team not turn up?

I read that Jean Rondeau was later furious to lose the constructor's title to Porsche as a smaller GT Porsche contributed to their score(at the Nürburgring) and pulled out, but was that before the last event?

Ok, i'm being booted from the server with a VLM_PTC.rfm mismatch. None of the updates even have an rfm in them.....What am I missing here?

Somebody call "rain man" François:

Look in the rules thread, the revised rfm is there.

The real race was under heavy rain. Will ours be too?

The can keep their Jaaaaaag, I can't afford the V12's fuel bill.

I'm more interested in swapping with one of your C100's.

Yves Plaçais  great time,

Merci Michal, elle est cool, cette petite Lancia !

Filippo Marazzi and me, Porsche #1...

Number 5 Kremer is free.

Raul, James and I are going with the Cat.

Timo

#9 Porsche is free. PM me if you want my Q setup - it's quite drivable, actually.

Pour moi

until I start my stint in the Jag with Raul and Timo

So you will start in it and then park it to drive the Jag?
Maybe I am missing something, but that doesn’t seem to make sense.

It broadens the field and I get to have fun up until my stint starts-makes perfect sense

and if bad comes to worse for the Jag-I have a car to race...

I think Jason is saying, how come one of the other drivers isn't taking over from you in the Group 5 car?

It's fine for you to park it, just seems a waste of all your effort in the car.

Exactly. It’s also a waste of a car that someone else may be able to drive to the finish.
So you are actually limiting the field, not broadening it, IMO.

I follow you Richard-I'll see what the guys wish to do.

There is no waste of effort-it's all about the smiles.....

Okay-I follow you Jason. I'll grab a free car if there is one available at race time. I do not want to stand in anyone's way from competing.

...but I did do this at the Nurbrgring. Think we had a larger field for that race though....

Belle homogénéité chez Bussi Racing !  

Bruno Chacon Christian Bussi Racing...1:35,867

Thank you Yves!
We do not have a fast car, very weak engine for Rondeau in this version 3.3L. However, our car is very comfortable, economical for fuel and tires and above all, very easy to drive for a long time.
We are in the battle!
