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) 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: Note earlier race start time.

 

The second race is using the Short track. It isn't strictly the reversed track going the other way around. It does state this in the race announcement 

Good for us newbies to know the history of this event. Yes R.I.P Lawrence Clemo.

This looks like it could be one of those last man standing wins events. I tried the short circuit in the DB4 and found a rather stupid cut track on a hump at the top of a rise so beware. I haven’t quite mastered the knack of steering the car whilst it’s airborne yet so it’s difficult to avoid.
 
Thought I’d use the E-Type on the reverse circuit. The graphics are pretty but look a bit old fashioned to me and I didn’t like the way that cow was looking at me when I parked my Jag against a stone wall. Anyway I needed to concentrate so hard I didn’t have much time to look at the scenery.
 
I think I will be patriotic and take the English cars although I have a feeling the German classic supercar may turn out to be the quickest. It seems much more docile and easy to drive than the Aston. 

I think I know exactly where you mean; it's the jump on the short circuit after the long uphill section. The cut is avoidable but you need to get a good line before take off.

As this event is not part of a Championship I think we can relax the cut rules for this. I will make sure they are turned off for these races.

Sorry to hear that Matt.

Cuts now off.

Just downloaded the cars and tracks for a quick look.

What an insane challenge!! something Ligel would have enjoyed. I knew him through GPL where he raced in true gentlemanly fashion with GBGPL and obviously he exhibited the same good humour and grace in GTL. One of lives true gents and fitting that he is remembered here.

I have the cartoon he did of me with the 67 Honda GP car, printed on a T shirt, and it occasionally gets aired at The Goodwood Revival.

Anyone else got issues with the sounds on the Aston?  Mine appears to be a silent hybrid with occasional backfires!!
