Race OnePassword: see above(2) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings pagePractice: 19:45 BST (30 mins) Qual 2: 20:15 (10 mins) Race: 20:30 ~ 20 Mins Cars allowed: NSU TTS Track: Norisring Time of Day Setting: 13:00 Weather: DryStart: Standing Tyre wear: NormalFuel consumption: Normal Pit-stops: None requiredRace TwoSame as above, with top 10 reverse grid But, no practice and no qual, straight into race 2 Server: Simracing.org.uk E8 Password: see aboveChampionship StandingsNotes:(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 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.

Have sorted out my force feed back but have spent a lot of time trying to get the same setup as before! I am unable to find the setting to see the other drivers lap times and positions along the top of my screen. Assistance to sort this would be appreciated.

It is "Toggle Position Bar" in the Controls/Key Bindings menu, by default it is the "8" key (above U & I, not on the number keypad).

It loads for a while entering the lobby and then kicks me back to the multiplayer screen.

I took the advice of the R3E peeps n deleted my control presets, loaded the new one. I obviously didn't update all the key bindings, as I didn't have any control of the pitstop. All sorted now, just a smidge too late... It looks like I didn't need to pit anyway, all for nought, tonight at least. Grats to the podium finishers.

I had to have a couple of goes to join after my update, But enjoyed the races. GOod close racing Results will be delayed as the system won't recognise the track, though we have used it many times before. Did it say you had to stop? It wasn't supposed to

Did it say you had to stop? It wasn't supposed to Yep, mandatory two tyres. Must have been set from Sunday's event. I thought I'd better pit in case the game DQ'd me. Race 1, nice side by side battle with Matt Race 2, got squeezed entering the chicane on lap 1 when I was left no space Shan't bother with these again.

Had trouble joining, got on at end of practice. I had problems braking, lockup, very little practice spent most of the time binding the controls (had visitors staying). The pit stop fooled me wasted ages looking for pit entrance!

Sorry for the contact in the chicane GT, seems we were 3 wide and being in the middle I was always in trouble. No idea which side you were on but I got spun around to and had rejoined several seconds behind the main group. Good news is that's another race without the game crashing and was the event that it last crashed in. Maybe the overclocking tweaks I made have fixed it, or maybe I got lucky and then the game updates did. Either way I can look forward to events a bit more without think the game will give up on me.
Great consistent pace again JP, again I had cold tyres and really noticed it in the first race where I struggled to get the front end to bite. Seemed a bit better in the 2nd.

What a mess with the race settings. Mandatory pit stop that was not so mandatory apparently. Pitted because I feared I was going to get DQ'd for race 2, finished 6th because of it then got dumped to last starting place anyway for race 2 because apparently I "won" race 1. The race results shown on screen were untouched. Then race 2 was 20 laps, not 20 minutes, so my engine started sputtering with one lap to go, which ruined the battle with Matt.

Seems I am no longer up to the job. Appologies for any confusion. I usually check carefully all the options, but sometimes Stephens setting get missed. I promise I will buck up.

Apologies for my part in the chicane incident in race 2 - after GT got squeezed into the wall at the entry I went ahead through the second part, but with Pete close alongside I should have given a bit more space there. Sorry that you both got spun around.
I was doing low 5s in practice and confident of a good showing here, but the races turned out very differently. In race 1 I seemed to be really struggling to keep up on the straights, even when in a tow. Managed to stay reasonably close with Geoff and Pete around the rest of the lap but I convinced myself I had the wrong gearing, so dropped the final drive down a click for the second race in search of a bit more acceleration. Big mistake..! I was now geared far too short and ended up losing even more time on the straight, but this time with the added bonus of increasing oil and water temps. My engine damage steadily increased through the race, and my fuel consumption was also significantly worse and I ran dry on the last lap. Damn.
Congrats John and podiums.
