Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see
cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the Euro and American Track Packs for this series (And maybe another
non pack track occasionally)
(4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit.

(5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface)
Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R;group=581)

There currently seems to be a problem with multi race events. I haven't investigated further but please bear this in mind if you are racing.

"Known issue: If a player leaves in race 1, other players will end up in black screen after session switch into race 2. We are investigating the problem but in the meantime we suggest you avoid multi format races if possible."

Correct.

If you plan on racing just make sure you stick around for both races. I'm not racing but I'll be around to start the server.

Enjoyed that  ;D

Race 1, close with Mark, but then I got a wheel onto the dirt at the penultimate corner and lost time. But Mark was stopped at the pit lane when I came by, so assumed he had waited for me (thanks!), so I also slowed to allow him to overtake me again. But the car that eventually came past me was Matt instead.. Not sure what happened to Mark? Eventually sneaked back past Matt.

Race 2, managed to get through and get away early on, and with a consistent gap to Mark of about 10 seconds. And then had a silly spin and lost about 10 seconds! Mark went past and some more good racing was had. Well deserved win considering what happened in the first race.

Fun times, thanks all.

Lol It surprised me so much when you went off that I wasn't concentrating driving my car and went off in the final corner which killed the engine. Should have paid attention as the lap before I suddenly couldn't take it as I had been and that lap seemed just as bad.

Second race i'm not sure what happened, ended up right at the back but managed to get through Matt and SRW with 10sec to frex. Suddenly found he'd fallen off again and had a good few laps in close company managing to get to the line this time, in front!

Really struggled with this layout never really posting valid laps in practise or qually. I thought it was the shorter layout we were using. In the race I managed to just not  push and stick to a repetitive pattern.

You were at the back because it saw you as last in the previous race, and we had a reverse grid
for race 2. I found the short cut section was really awkward, and could not figure how to do it
I tried really wide, and I tried really tight, it was horrible either way. I am not a fan of these
shortened layouts generally, some are ok, but the short cuts they use don't usually flow.

Yes so i started on pole again.  Yet seemingly fell off and ended up at the back after a few laps.
