Out of interest, is it worth putting a few AI cars into the race as backmarkers to pad out the field? Just been reading BeachAV8R's review of the 2006 2.4 hrs race which featured 7 AI cars and 6 human drivers, and seeing as the actual race features 55 cars we're certainly down on numbers. I'm not pushing for them either way and I imagine some will be dead against it, but if numbers are a little disappointing it might help to just add a little extra to the race.

I think you need to install the mod.

I am never in favor of adding rFactor AI, especially in multi-class events. In real life slower yield to faster ones in a usually-predictable manner. In rFactor, not so much, and it would be a shame to see someone punted by AI. They also run in tight packs, resulting in the fact that they don't fill out the field too much.

I really hope more people sign up for this event so that it can take place enjoyably.

New bits for PC arrive before the end of the week (delivery finally confirmed) so I should get my system back up and running over the weekend. Will choose a car and sign up sometime next week. Dont know the mod at all at present so need to turn some laps before making a car choice.

I would suggest that if the numbers remain low the format should go single class.

Hmmm........just thought I'd stick my hand out of the car and wave as I drive by!

I'm not sure which is worse. Having only 10 replies or having them split 4/5/1.

This ain't lookin' good doctor. frown

This could explain only having 10 votes. The 'either day is fine' group didn't have an option.

I voted Saturday as a preference but I would fit myself into the 'either day' category!
