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 Experience from Steam, and have the Euro Track Pack
(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.

Should be able to make this one, better get some practice in.

Check you messages  ::)

hello,

i did tonight a race with same DTM92 cars in norisring in RD.
cars are much fun to drive in this track (this cars always fun :))

the RD people did fuel need OFF, so i am not sure, if ALL cars can do 30min. with fuel, so perhaps do fuel OFF is good idea here too, as you can not select fuel in pitbox too, so fuel do actual not matter in R3E game i think.
this track was hard for my front tyres a lot, i did the ford mustang (i think this is name), i had after 30min.  this tyre wear...FL/FR-RL/RR  95/89!!! - 98/98,   with bad tyres it was very hard to brake the car, and i did feel the tyre wear very much in carhandling in end of race,
so probably i had should setup car other, lower tyre pressure (as i think my brake did ruin the front tyres mainly), more in rear the brake and perhaps more risky setup.
i did quali 52.8 (or 9), but sadly in race i did not found rhythm and i was not able to match quali laptimes (did not exactly know racelaps, as they do not show in this old cars, or did not see?)

perhaps i can make this race, not sure,
i did sign up already for thursday in RD with ADAC GT3 cars in norisring race any days ago, but perhaps i do sign out and make this race, as i like this cars a lot.

Thanks Reinhard

I left fuel on because the cars can easily do 30 mins with it on, and I thought it might add a little to the fun
as the fuel went down. I tried a 30 min test race, and I had maybe another 30 mins of fuel left at the end.
You may be correct though, it is probably safer to turn it off for events where we are not sure.

This is the first of a series, There will be at least 8 events listed by the end of this week. And I will add more
if people want them. I will use any car set that is popular if people want it, but my intention with this series is to use
mostly the historic car sets. The modern car sets are already well catered for with our AC series IMHO.

I need to advertise this series over as many forums as we know about. If anyone would care to put a note in other forums
that would be most helpfull. I will do as many as I know, but some people may be aware of places I have never been  ::)

I've put the word out over at the official RR forum for league events.....and at No Grip.....and at Raceconnect  :)

https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/historic-racing-series-at-srouk.2591/

Just seen a post about this on the S3 forums. I'd like to join in too - preferably in a BMW but I'm not too fussy. What do I need to do?

Thanks Tudor, Work is getting in the way this week  ::)

Hi, just join our server on Thursday night

Hello Mr Belowski.

You need to register to these forums:
https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=help;page=registering
Then you read the topics, which you can already do. Then join the races you want to with the password

Usually the events run as practice for the week before the event, then on the evening of the event
you join with the race password, which can be seen at the top of the event pages once you have registered
the passwords do not normally change for a series, so once you know them you can just join.
We rent a comercial server, and this needs to be paid for. We ask for donations when we need to
You do not have to pay for anything, but if you stay with us for some time, it is customary to make some
sort of contribution.

Welcome aboard  8)
Matt

Great to see you here Mr. Belowski  8)

Must mention that this fellow is responsible for one of the coolest apps in simracing and I would recommend that everyone give it a try...

https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/offical-release-of-crew-chief-version-2.2516/

Enjoyed a good praccy session last night. Tough circuit but quite exhilerating to drive especialy when you get the lines and braking for the two hairpin turns just right. Looks like I'm fastest in the Beemer so I'll probably take that tonight. These cars are growing on me.

EDIT: Oh no! I think I've been using the wrong cars set  ::)  >:( I was driving the Gr.5's and now I see this is a DTM '92 race. Well that's me stuffed then.

 :lol: :lol: :lol:
These cars are way easier to drive than the Gr5 ones  ::)

Don't know what happened to Matt. Dropped off the server just as race started?

For me it was same old story, 3 secs per lap slower than everyone else, so doddered around at the back for about ten mins then gave up.

Not sure who it was, but the fella in the Mustang made us all look silly :)

I had a race-long battle for 2nd, with some seriously tense and exciting laps at the end

Hope we get a better turn out next time, but the quality of the driving was top notch

Yep, excellent close racing this evening and I enjoyed every minute of it despite the low turnout...even lower than our practise races  ::)

Sorry for that tap at T1 btw Jim. I wasn't sure what had happened at the time but from the replay it looks like I ran in a bit deep as you turned in  :-[ Almost as deep as Mr. Berger  :laugh:

Hope we get a better turn out next week from some of our regulars too ;)

Not sure why, but when qual finished my car sat in the pits with a sound loop running, and woudn't respond to esc or
anything, so I ctrl/alt/del'd my way out, checked the server and it said 5 people so I guess it was just me
Shame, I had been really looking forward to our first "proper" race. I am away in Glasgow next week, then back for one
then away for 3 weeks  :(
I will create 8 events for the moment, and see how it goes. I was hoping SImon and Postal at least would have come
out to play, Simon seemed quite keen so far  ??? and if BIll had come along that would have made 9 which
was more than more than our last few P&G events got.
I will have a stab at the results import in the morning.
Can anyone post a replay somewhere so I can have look?

Yep, enjoyed it again despite low numbers. Nice cars to drive, fairly easy, except when trying to wring out the final few tenths as it should be.

Jostled down to P4 at one of the hairpins as Berger came through, and then stayed a couple of secs behind GT and Mr Belowski for the remainder of the race. Would have liked to have been a closer part of their battle as it looked fun and we were all doing similar times. Finished P4 - using different name btw Matt  :)

Ahh, Dave did the results so I didn't do the cross reference of names against forum names.
I will try to update them. To import the results for any of our series, there needs to be
a list of cars and a list of drivers. The drivers are already there except for new members
but as this is a new series with a new sim it needs to be populated.
Dave did it for this event so that's all done  8)

I have updated Berger but is is confused about your name Frex
what name did you race with, I don't have a replay. Again if anyone can save
their replay somewhere that would be helpful  :angel:

I raced with name "Dieter Bromvich".

My replay saved but I don't have access to it from work. I can upload it later though if no-one else does beforehand.

Can you fill in your country in your profile Jim.  :thumbup1:
And if you want to use a different name then I need the forum name and the racing name if it's different Frex
Not sure why the game didn't list you with your real name  ???

The export has <Username i:nil="true" />, which is less than helpful. I'm not sure how well these imports are going to work if the data is going to be such poor quality. :-\

it is not important,

but it looks like the results file (or what name is) in R3E game, do give everybody a DNF,
i did watches the driver statistics for this race and we all have DNF for our race,
it count pole and fastest laps,
but i think the game do not understand if you make a DNF or not, as i see in results no racetime too,
i hope this will be fixed from sector3 company in future.

for the race....

i did slow start and i saw only 1 other car close to me, but i had feeling 2 cars should be close to me, so i did quick watched the  position line for gaps in top of screen,
but this was not good, as it was not easy to do this and so i did brake way to late for T1, haha.
rest of race was good fun, as always with this cars.
i did justage my setup and had in end of race only 98/97 - 98/98 tyre wear, which is great, probably lower brake pressure from 98 to 91% and make brake from 57-43 to 53-47 did make biggest good, as the brake did not look? so easy now after any laps.

servus

Unless you edited the file Dave, the only thing that seems screwed for this one is Frex didn't use his
normal lobby name so I was unable to change him from "unknown"

It is good to have qual and fastest lap info, but for the "Championship" all it needs is the finishing order
like who won who came 2nd etc. Anything else is icing on the cake for me.

As Reinhard says, hopefully this will improve in future updates, bearing in mind this server still
claims to be "Alpha" and a few weeks ago it didn't save results at all, I can cope with what we have
at the moment as long as it works repeatedly....  :cowboy:

Umm, it doesn't seem to have updated the championship page. As usual I was unable to create the
championship myself, as whenever I do the drivers and teams entries and update, it ignores everything
I had done, so Tony did it for me. I then put the info into the race page for the championship page (I thought)
but maybe I got the numbers wrong.

Regrettably I won't be able to join you guys until September, but I sure look forward to do some RRE

Stig

Matt, tis odd as LM2 definitely has this event list as Champ but in the Champ table it's shown as non-Champ  ???

Yep I just checked, and... the event has been removed from the champ page...
The thick plottens

The export didn't record any name (see above). One of the earlier races showed the same thing. All I can think to do is have the importer flag those entries up if found and refuse to process the file until they've been manually corrected. :-\


Only 'cause I hadn't generated the standings. It's there now.

Expect I will be another attendee as love my historics racing and not enough of it in AC , assuming I can get proper feel through my controllers and all feels right. Wrong time of year for good turn outs as its prime holiday season. I'm typing this from a beach in Italy so take my word for it  ;D

Matt, I've taken the liberty of adding tyre makes to the cars in this class. Partial results tables really bug me  :wacko:.  Cars are not currently listed by race number just by vehicle type so I have used the tyres used by the majority for each make.

Can we have the class listed as 1992 DTM? or DTM92? or something?

I have yet to create ful list of cars in classes for Dave to enter, I will try to do it tommorow
Am up to neck in barby prep, and then beer and burgers later. Big family
social today.  :sweatdrop:

Don't think there is any great urgency mate. Lovely weather for a BBQ tho, enjoy.

I wanted to race Beemer here but couldn't find practice time, busy catching up all those deferred odd jobs that have been mounting up over the last year or so.  ::)

Thanks to Dave and Tony for sorting the cars/classes/names/tyres etc for the championship, It looks
more like a proper SROUK series now  :clap: :clap: :notworthy: :notworthy:
