Magny-Cours Enduro

How to put this in a constructive manner: two series are necessary. There.

Grats winners. Had very nice battle with CC which resulted in his unfortunately contact with somewhat erratic lines of another slower car. I pitted early with an idea of to get past some nGTs and I did.

Thank you for flying with us and hope to see you again!

Congratulations Pablo!...

Though that quitting from the series would be on-topic, but I'll post it here upon request:

Qually got ruined completely. Had to start from the back. I asked if I could pass the NGT field as a GT is not racing them anyway, but unfortunately the steward decided to go with the unsafer option of not allowing me to.

If this series is staying the way it is right now I'm not going to bother racing it again.

Well done podiums!
Nice clean racing, and more importantly, good clean passing! The guys in the GT cars were great, and waited if they were behind a slower nGT car mid corner.
Qual: so so. Pit in my banker lap, then when I went to put my head down had a bit of traffic and then got bumped into the gravel, hit Esc by mistake ... Toh!!
Race was just a case of trying to take it easy and not make mistakes. Got the take it easy past right, but made a few mistakes. Apologies to Sergey for the spin, you goofed the one chicane and I froze like a deer in the headlights instead of taking avoiding action. Crunch. Then after the pitstops, I had Allen Cotton in my sights when he went off and I caught up to about 3 seconds. But I went off, and [Edit: not Sergey] John Passmore got between us, and which point Allen took off. Had a nice dice later with Sergey, but I believe he eventually let me have the position back. Thanx Sergey!
Well done all finishers!
I think it's much better to have one bigger field with the "Novices" and Pro's mixed. The smaller fields are not nearly as much fun.
I for one give the combined race format a thumbs up! I don't think the faster GT and nGT guys had any problems with the "slower" drivers? At least that was my impression ...
Awesome!

Maurice, sorry to hear about your hassles. Do you have a problem with the nGT cars or the mix of Novice and Pro?
Bear in mind that even if it was just Pro's you would have still had to contend with the Pro nGT cars. And R2P has a tradition of good quality mixed class racing. I stand corrected, but I also believe that's also how it works in the real world GT series.
And let's be honest, it makes it more interesting for sure...
;-)

Terrible race for me. Last night I had one of my best races at R2P in the NAGT race, today was just the opposite. Probably chose wrong tires for the cool temps. The car felt like on ice the whole race. I should have stopped early and tried the softs, but instead opted to not change tires at all and made things worse.
My apologies to Claus, I wasn't sure if the best idea was to let you past or try to get a gap so I wouldn't hold you up in the corners where I had to tip toe through all of the slow ones.
Not a fun day.

Boyd: Yes, I've got a big problem with the mix. The novice series was there for a reason. The reason obviously hasn't diappeared, but the series has.

Sorry Maurice, but not allowing GT cars to move forward has always been the way. While we may occasionally allow a GT car to move forward the one or two positions to move out of the nGT field, this was not the case today. There were three GT cars at the tail of a large nGT field... meaning mass confusion and a potentially dangerous formation lap for all.

Edit: Never mind. I quit this championship, period.

What a total bummer!
Had some pretty good pace which could of put me in the top 3 in qualifying in NGT if it wasn't for my consistent disconnects.Was eventually able to get back on the server during qualifying but just waited it out to start at the rear of the field come race time.
Half way around the formation lap I got disconnected again,end of story.
From my point of view I think combining the series is a great idea for two reasons.
1.Bigger fields which are always better
2.Mix of skill level.Face it,in this class of racing in real life there is a lot of pay drivers who are out there mixing it with the professional teams (novice v's pro),very realistic if you ask me,but then again that's just my opinion.
Anyhow did a uninstall & re-install of GTR2 & fingers crossed my disconnect problems should be fixed.
