Accessed the server last night and all is good on my end. I've run the Mustang for so long in NAGT that I'm deciding to change things up an run the Aston for the Challenge and the upcoming TPTCC season.

Saw a bunch 'o guys on the practice server last night. The TPTCC A guys were running high 1:28s, although I think (and hope) that was a qual lap. I'm in the mid 29s in race trim in the Aston already. Low 29s is probably a pretty good target pace for Group A drivers.

See you all tonight... this should be a lot of fun. Thanks Ced for you work in setting it up.

Well, I guess I will be on the tail of the A drivers, as so far I am able to get the volvo only down to the 1;30's in race trim, but with 100% damage maybe I can stay clean and pick up some spots. Cya tonight

I'll race the Vette. I'm gonna be an A- driver I guess 1.30 is fast for me. These cars are hard to set up and the track was not what I expected. There got all my pre excuses out. See you all tonight.

Hi Guys,

The main thing for all the PORRS guys to remember that haven't run in the TPTCC is that there will be a recon lap, then return to your start position for the standing start.

Try to stagger yourself a little with the guy in front so you don't run into issues in the tight corners. If you go off course during the warmup, do try to rush back up to your spot, you can do that once you return to the pit straight. If safe, merge back in, if not, wait until safe.
