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) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=358&theme=5)
(4) 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

No setup or practice time, and suffered for it. went into a bale at the end of the 1st lap and killed motor.

Wow.. Not sure why it happened but I lost my connection at some point on lap one and had no Internet for several hours before finally thinking too reset my modem and all was OK after that. I don't see the results but I know that and Tony is the well deserved Champion 8) for this great series.  The biggest of congrats goes to Tony ;D. Not sure who ended third in the Championship as it appears to be either Matt or Kurt and they both equally deserve it as they were both mainstays in this series. I really appreciate all the participants for this series and hope for many more for next year. :) Cheers

It appears that as I was the only driver to actually complete a full lap I get max. points and no-one else scores  :angel:

Had an awful time setting my car up. In the end I was making it worse with every tweak I tried. Then my Championship rival Navin turned up in the Merc and blitzed my best time by 6 secs!

In desperation I sought out my Spa setup and without any tweaking I set my best time and achieved pole with 3 secs over Matt. Expected to lose out to Navin once the race started but Lap one was bizarre!

Matt passed me then totalled his car on the last bend. Navin disappeared with a disco and Kurt quit out early. I had won by lap one! Did another lap on my own to make sure that LM2 wouldn't throw a wobbly, then quit out myself.

Thanks to everyone who took part in this fortnightly series "taster". Looking forward to next season now  ;D

Congrats Tony & thanks.
Looked like I won a very undeserved podium spot in the championship as a result of the technical difficulties in the last race. Matt & Eifel were just points away.

Loved the series; There is too much good racing here!
