Only the following cars are to be selected. CLASS A DIV 1 '81, CLASS B DIV 2 '81, DIV 2 '80 and DIV 2 '79.

Special Notes: Rolling start procedure will be implemented for this race. See below for details.

1) When qualifying ends drivers will join the grid as usual, before the timer countdown ends.

2) At the green light the pole position driver (lead driver) will be responsible for moving off at a slow pace.

3) The remaining drivers will follow the driver in front of them forming a single line formation.

4) The lead driver will increase speed as soon as it is safe to do so. The following drivers will match the speed of the car in front of them, whilst keeping a safe distance between them.

5) The lead driver will maintain slow/average speed for the duration of the lap until approaching the final corner when he will engage the speed limiter.

6) The lead driver will maintain limiter speed (limiter may be switched off) until the start line is reached. Having crossed the start line the lead car will begin race speed.

7) Following drivers may not exceed limiter speed (lead drivers speed) or attempt any overtaking until the start line is crossed.

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: None

I thought I would break the silence here by saying I'm lapping in the 09's in a Div2 81 with race fuel.

 

If i was involved in the Div 2 standings my choice was always Capri 80 because the input on the corners it s  better than Capri 81. The truth is that Capri 81 suffer  of a understeer chronic and I cannot bear to drive that way.....in facts i m more fast with Capri 80. Mostly Capri 80 is most easy to setting.  However if Clive is using Capri 80 He will have a valid reason.

2:03.067 can be improved. 

I have to say that this circuit doesn't inspire me to have high hopes for tonight. Think I'll switch classes for this one.

As I have not fully recovered from my back problem and I am unable to play golf today I will be free to race this evening. I will be under practiced but will try my best. If my leg plays up I will retire to the pits. I hope to see all online later. 

Due to severe back pain - again   - I fear I have to give this one a miss.  Had no possibility to do any practice over the weekend due to that fact.
Hot-water bottle and other medication will be the priority of today's leisure. Third nuclear spin within a year scheduled for next week  

Hoping for next week.

Have fun guys.

Sorry to hear that. I think that backs, knees, hips etc. were poorly designed. I have physio and do Dailey exercises yet still seem to spend half the year crocked. Backs can be a painful curse. Hope you are fit again soon.

Sorry Kurt, maybe you need a Thai massage
