All members welcome. Grid/server capacity: 25 Practice: ~19:10 (60 mins) Race 1 Qualifying: 20:10 (20 mins) Race 1: 20:30 20 laps~20mins, then following shortly afterwards with the top 8 positions from Race 1 reversed.... Race 2: 20 laps~20mins Track: Silverstone National Download this
Cars allowed: Caterham CSR200 Time of Day Setting: 14:00 Weather: DRY Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal
Server: UKRACE07 CRC Password: see above
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.
Special Notes: The grid procedure for Race 07 events is slightly different from GTL/GTR2. Upon joining the grid, you won't be able to rev your engine until all drivers are present on the grid. Do not attempt to esc back to garage or you will be DQ'd.

Before I fiddle with the installer, can anybody tell me whether all the Silverstone track GDBs need this fix or just the National one you'll be using for this race?

Okay, I've updated them all in the v1.1.0.0 track installer.

Already really looking forward to this one after last night. Am going to have to enter into negotiations with the Mrs to see about racing regular Wednesdays. Don't suppose swapping to Tuesdays would be considered?

Silverstone Nat is brilliant in the cats. The sweep into Brooklands is a great overtaking point. Don't suppose swapping to Tuesdays would be considered?
I thought iRacing was Tuesdays? I don't mind putting a poll up if the negotiations go badly

I thought iRacing was Tuesdays? I don't mind putting a poll up if the negotiations go badly Once my iR subscription runs out in Jan, that's it for me. The tracks are amazing quality, three off the cars are a real joy to drive when hot-lapping, but I sadly get no racing each time... & that's what I enjoy most. I can think of at least three other drivers in exactly the same boat & I hope Race07 fills that void for them too. Disclaimer - I understand that some people love iR to bits, this is just IMO & not looking to start anything.

Just downloaded the track and tested on the server. All appears to be working as normal now.
Best time so far is a 1:00.264.

Well, I WAS enjoying the practise tonight and was please to see I was in the ball park with pace when I decided to do some recalculations with my setup which I have to exit the Sim for. When I exited Steam advised me of a client update so I did it and tried to restart. Steam decided that it couldn't connect to the internet so wouldn't start up Everything else works fine but Steam so I couldn't start Race07 to rejoin the practise.

A temporary hiccup it seems. All back to what passes for normal now and a few fast 'uns on the server

Yup, nice to clime back into this baby. Never done this config of the track but it's cool enough. Managed to do a 1:00.6 i think it was, but that seems to be my limit so far

Should I not allow the upgrade, it's prompting me now

What a fun combo, 50 percent of lap spent sideways Thats gonna make passing very tricky mind, race two should be a cracker. Think we only need a few more drivers to make this series a real hit. If you want some plain and simple fun, I can't recommend this highly enough

Got back on eventually. I guess the steam server is getting a bit overloaded with the update. A few on the steam forum seem to have it. I kept trying every few minutes and it seemed to work eventually.
