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.

GWS GT, yes there was some close racing last night. However I must learn how to get these things off the line as everyone came steaming past me again :( Times were amazing close and 3 different people lead the race at different points. Not sure what Eck was up to though when he let Spanner through  :-\

Left tyres were past it, I was being caught very easily. I wasn't able to get through either end of the track. I looked great on the brakes, then had to sit n wait, for what seemed like an age, with Mark closing right up. I was snaking along the straight, thinking "I'm dead in the water". When I saw Mark suffer something similar at the Parabolica, I was of a different mind. Though I was still being caught way too easily, by yourself and Dieter.

And as for the race start. I've told you how on TS, how I start. You chose not to believe me...  ???

Now, I have to apologise for the first few laps. I drove really badly at every corner, nothing intentional but it was crap. Gave no room at all. Thankfully, when I got to Dieter, I'd got my act together. Actions prior, prabably should have me shoved to the rear. Sorry all..  :-[

There seemed plenty of questionable driving all round!

You may have said but i cant remember the last time you came on TS to remind us! All i can think of the auto clutch didnt like the high revs and little power and killed it. Another pole taken away at last minute as well!

Was trying to be consistent and saw Dieter get slower and slower and got past. Ecks weaving threw me off a bit and he clearly gave me it, but ended up taking too much inside curb in the last corner which seemed to push me out wide and just got in the gravel. Clearly with the resistance of the graavel and the lack of power it was going ot take forever to get out and couldnt face going from first to last!

I was a victim of the close driving shortly into the race, and ended up in the wall, effectively killing
my race, and I don't get to do many these days with work, so was unimpressed.
Was 14 secs or so behind the leading pack, and doing more or less the same pace
was gradually pulling away from Tony, and, with little chance of catching unless someone fell off
so slowed and waited for Tony so we could have some fun up to the end.  :fencing:

Same thing here Matt. Glad you slowed as I enjoyed our backmarkers battle.
