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 especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the relevant Track Packs for this series
(4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit.
(5) Start procedure
*It will be the pole sitter's responsibility to complete the first lap at a pace that allows the rest of the grid to follow comfortably
*There should be no overtaking or hard accelerating/braking
*Drivers should avoid getting too far behind or too close to the driver in front
*Approximately 20 seconds before crossing the start line the pole sitter should slow down to a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*Each following driver shall close up directly behind the driver in front also maintaining a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*The pole sitter should maintain that speed until they cross the start line and then accelerate away to start the race (lap2)
*Each following driver should only accelerate when the driver directly ahead does (they do not have to wait until crossing the start line)
*No overtaking is allowed before crossing the start line at the completion of the formation lap
(6) 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.

Excuse my ignorance but I don’t recognise Porsche 964, can’t see it in the Porsche cars in RRE. Is it the same Porsche we raced last year?  ??? :helpsmilie:

No Bill, this is a new car, but although it's been previewed as coming soon it's not yet actually in game. However there is a big update (13Gb) scheduled for this coming Thursday afternoon, so I guess it will be released then along with the Group C cars.

Thanks frex, Thursday’s Race should be fun then with everyone struggling to download update including the Server I guess! ::)

Wot Frex said. This is a placeholder for (probably) the new Porsche 964. If the new car is as poor as the 934
then the default substitute is the Zakspeed Capri

No problem with the 964, drives very manageably.  :thumbup2:

Agreed. Did a couple of laps round Zandy, limited setups as Geoff said, so have to learn to drive it
Need to test it over the start finish at Laguna to see if it's really ok.
Tried the Group C cars.... :lol: these are nuts, love 'em, feel like the faster open wheel ones on R3E
must get a series  :thumbup1:

I'll miss this one unfortunately.....hope to be around next week.

Start time was set wrong, race start is 20:30 as usual

Sorry, work has got in the way. Only got back at 8pm

Everything ran ok this morning tonight “computer says NO” spent 25 minutes trying but after numerous reboots I gave up, it’s so frustrating! :taz:

Any bright ideas? ???

Define "Said No"?
Won't boot, won't run R3E? will run it but can't join on line?

Each time I tried to login to race I either get “server not responding” or if responds it fails to complete the action and the dots just carry and I have to use Cntl/Alt/Delete and Device Manager to end RRE. Then reboot the computer and start RRE again. It looks as if I’m over loading the Server! That’s about the best description of my problem I can do.

Can't say then. but, 1st thing to try would be:
Fire up the steam app, go to games library, right click on race room, then click on properties, and then verify integtity of gamefiles
then see if it helps.

Thanks will give it a go later. What gets me is I get straight on in mornings and practice online.  ???

Oh, ok , that is super weird.

Thoughts: Is your PC clock set to the correct uk time? (auto with wondows time perhaps)
Has your anti virus decided that you can't run R3E at certain times.....
If it crashes to desktop, and only later in the day, is it a heat thing? what happens if you
shutdown for a few hours before trying to run R3E in the evening?

I’ve tried twice to answer you on my iPhone but it seems to have disagreement with SimRacing and when I select Preview it dumps my message and leaves me back at square one!

My PC has reset automatically to correct time. My PC is shut down at about 12:30 and not used again until just after 20:00. My first task is to turn off my Norton AV update function then login to RRE when I have problems as described in earlier post. Just to throw a curved ball, as our US colleagues say, this morning at 07:30 I logged in straight away and drove about half a lap with no problems. The bit about the dots continuing, ends with the command to press any Key which then takes you onto the opening screen.

Only thing I can think of is try and login before all the other drivers next Thursday.

Enjoyed that, this car is really a lot of fun - similar handling to the GT3 cup car we ran on sunday but with ABS and a lot less power it's an easier drive and (usually) doesn't bite back if you get into trouble. Geoff, Eck and Pete all had incidents early on unfortunately, but still had a good battle with John (again). He let me by after a small off, but I had a bigger off myself soon after and he was back through again. Hope we get more numbers next time, these are good fun.

Congrats John and Pete.
