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.

Hangon, i thought you were not using the M1 anymore? The GTO cars instead?

You thought wrong my young paduan. I am juggling the 5 classes, probably into 4 week rotation.
Two classes will alternate, probably the DTM92 and TOuring Classics. Not sure yet, input from
racers will affect the ourcome.  ;D

Not sure if adding yet another class helps or hinders the situation, but is there any love for the NSU TT? I really like that little thing, and it's bound to result in some really close racing. Don't know if everyone has it though.

Thanks Frex.
I have a few things to ponder. Including:

1: NSU TT? is there any love for running an event, and it will likely be just an occasional event rather than a regular thing?

2: Nordschliefe? I love it, but people would have to buy it. Some people don't always do all the events because they don't
want to buy more content.

3: Other tracks? I will be using Bathurst, Salzburgring, Suzuka, and Spa.
but I would like to run at Shangai, and I really enjoyed our event at Macau, but there is no point in putting on events
at tracks where only half the drivers are prepared to get the them.

For me the small cost (often less than a pint of beer) is trivial compared to the enjoyment, so I just do it.

1. I have the NSU and it is a fun car to race on a flowing track.

2. I have nords and think it is would be great for DTM92/touring classics.

3. I'll be using Shanghai and Suzuka next season for at least 1 event and Spa will always be on the calendar. I can always include Bathurst and Salzburgring on Sundays too if we want them.

What is you opinion for a flowing track?

Most tracks in RRE have a decent flow to them imo but maybe avoid brake/accelerate tracks like Monza, Hockenheim GP or Norisring for instance. I reckon the NSU would be a blast on Nords or Bathurst where it would be bouncing off the rev limiter.
