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.
(3) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page
(4) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: There are no start lights, instead there is a starting marshal who waves a green flag to mark the start of the race. Flagman stands on LH side of track. Advise having countdown turned on.

Grind 

TTT is the triumph trophy I think. I don't have access to the server at the moment.

Replay and results now posted.

Great event; thanks to all who turned out, really appreciated.

Unofficial LapChart

Another fine race with the supercars of yesteryear's. Turned out to be quite a international bunch of drivers...

Congrats to podium for showing amazing pace. Hat off for my fellow Aston driver. Could not match your pace.

I joined too late for this one, so didn't have much time to learn the car and make a setup. That compromised my race pace and I simply didn't have an answer to the pace of Navin, Pelle and Manteos. Grats to Navin and all other finishers!

"If in doubt... flat out"

Good start for me. First after the first corner, I had to leave the room on the inside to the brave Pelle, that passed me at the second corner. At the 2nd lap, Pelle did a mistake, and I took the lead. After some quiet laps, I let Navin close the gap by me, due to a picnic on the grass with my Ferrari. It was the start of a great battle, in which Navin was faster in some corners and slower in the others. After some good laps, in which I defended the lead very well, I did the omelette
At the exit of the Lavant corner my car started a really dangerous power sliding pointing to the inside line, just where Navin was... After the appearance of the Holy Colin Mcrae suggesting me to flat out, I decided to follow his advice, and I almost recovered the control of my car, but Navin was too close to avoid a small contact with me, and I lost it going into the "concrete tyres", damaging my car very badly .
The car was not the same by that moment. Navin decided to wait me, even though I knew that he wasn't to blame for the contact. I really appreciated your fairness and the attempt to extend the battle Unfortunately at the chicane, I understood that my car was not the same, and I banged on the barriers. Hristo was coming back, and Navin correctly decided to go on with his race this time.
By that moment, I lost any motivation to go on til the checkered flag. I had some issues almost every lap, driving my car listlessly.
With 2 or 3 laps to go, I received a phone call, and I was talking and driving with the headphones rested on my neck, for about a minute, avoiding to damage the other drivers on the track.
When I saw that Tony had passed me, I instantly closed the conversation, and I tried to pass him with success after some corners. Even this time my car didn't react as I would expect, and I've lost the control for the umpteenth time . Tony passed me again, and when I saw Navin coming in my mirrors, I decided to lose another lap and finish this agony

However, it was a real fun 'til it lasted Navin. Thank you mate!
Grats even to Hristo and Tony for the podium 

Hope to see you for the next, cause I really like these cars

But as you stated in an earlier post, you hardly had time to do a proper setup. Perhaps, with more time, you could of done something to prevent such rapid tyre wear?
Did any of the other Ferrari drivers suffer such an occurence in tyre wear?

I personally think that the tyre wear is modelled effectively well. After all these cars used cross ply tyres that were probably standard issue road tyres. If you watch footage from the fifties, and there is some good stuff at Goodwood  the cars would pit very often for tyres but not for fuel.
