All members welcome. Grid/server capacity: 28 Practice: ~19:20 (60 mins) Qualifying: 20:20 (20 mins) Race: 20:40 (16 laps = ~40mins) Track: Suzuka Download thisCars allowed: Alfa Romeo GTA, Ford Mustang, Lotus Cortina This race will use the UKGTL Skin Pack 1.8.0.0. Time of Day Setting: 10:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Server: simracing.org.uk WPC Password: see aboveNotes: (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) 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. (4) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings pageSpecial Notes: None

Sounds good to me, but would be nice to hear the thoughts of a few others maybe? (I don't want us to switch to more of a sprint length race if it's going to put people off type thing )

I think 40 mins is fine and I like the idea of using the same track for different series on consecutive GTL races. I find learning new tracks takes longer now but visiting tracks I've used before much easier to pick up again. Cadwell Park, even though it was the first time on PnG, was a case in point as we've raced the mini and other cars there in GTL. One interesting thing I found, don't know if anyone else picked it up, but exiting that right hander in the dip when you crest the rise I could take flat out in PnG but with GTL there seemed to be a bump of something that knocked me right causing a lift to recover the car. So I invariably found it easier and faster to lift into the crest to avoid problem.

Just finished a full race length practise and this circuit is fantastic with these cars going flat out. Probably wouldn't recommend the Mustang tho, but it's very close between the Alfa and the Ade-ina.

Okay, your version of Daylight saving time. heh. Anyways, I see the server is up, gave it a try and all seems well. I just hope my shifter parts arrive by than (on their way from Texas.) as I HATE flappy paddles! I never even had them assigned until now! But couldn't NOT play GTL!! haha.
Okay, if I have it figured out right, race starts 3pm my time. (Eastern)

Sorry folks won't be able to make this race. What with visitors (like a guest house here ), our hols in Guernsey and a couple of multi-day booked trips I don't think I'll be able to race until late Sept - unless all the variables are OK on the day.
