Championship Standings

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 especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Power and Glory v3 from:  http://gtlw-blog.flyingpig.info/
(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.

I had high hopes for the TR4A as the default setup wasn't too understeery but the best I could do with it was a 1:50.5. The gearbox is just a bit off for Oulton. I tried the Fezza and the Healy but they are just horrible (understeer 2xs). I then tried the Renault using the same setup as I used at Lakeside (Otto?) and managed to just get into the 1:46s. Looks like ringing the neck of a 1300 is the way to go.

Great track without the modern chicanes too!

When I looked yesterday there was no server up but haven't looked since.

Looks like Tony started the server.
Simon is right, the A110 is too fast here.

Car choice changed: Renault removed, Lotus Elite and Mini 1275 Gr2 addeed

Ratbag!

Wish I had read this before wasting the only practice time that I have between now and Wednesday!

A Man of your calibre. Should be easy enough

A Man of your calibre. Should be easy enough 

The Mini worries me.

[phspok]

This is the slower of the 1275 groups. For me it's a second and a half slower than the TR4
so a good mini pilot should get it round at a similar pace. The Renault was over a second
faster for me in 2nd testing, so that was too much. Geoffers gets the Elite and Mini round
in unreasonable times historically, other may not, so I can't allow for every skill.

[simon loynes]

I tweaked the default setup slightly and got the TR4A round in 50.2 in practice mode/race fuel. The Elite felt like a total dog to me, I struggled to get into the 52s and as for the mini, I don't drive front wheel drive cars on principal  .

I don't drive front wheel drive cars on principal  .

I take it you wouldn't be interested in driving the 400 BHP Alfa 147 GTA from Autodelta then?

I WOULD !

:-))

Mmm, i was more or less busy installing my newish DFGT  so didn't come to really making a setup. Best laps was a low .53 in the Elite. And i am guessing i will stick to that car for the race as i have never used it in anger before in P&G.

[phspok]

I am getting mid 53s in the TR and the Ferrari, a second slower in the mini and 54s in the Elite
but then I am carp with the mini and the elite traditionally.

[frex]

My internet went down in qually, and stayed down just long enough for me to miss the start of the race *sigh*

Have a good one.

[phspok]

That's annoying Frex I could have used the extra company
