Check your status HEREPractice: ~19:20 (60 mins) Qualifying: 20:20 (20 mins) Drivers must not leave qualifying to change car make. Race: 20:40 (8 laps) Time of Day Setting: 14:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Pit stops required: No Server: simracing.org.uk Wednesdays 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. Special Notes: Cuts will be turned off for this race.

I have foolishly downgraded my system to Win10. It runs in compatibility mode, I can launch local practice with either Pork904-4 or the Elan, yet both say "car not present on server" Do I need to do anything special to fix this in Win10? Help

Help Just ran a test and the cars are there on the server. I don't think you need to do anything special cos of W10 except run as admin and in compatibility mode. Is your GTL set to Professional mode? Are you choosing a Porsche 904/ 6?

Lol, not having much luck tonight at all, can't get on the server to race, now I go to download the track for this and get a 404 on the link so can't get that either.... Did I offend someone? The answer to that is usually yes to be fair, but I meant here....

It was a nice race, even though I always struggle with this track. As an (almost) one-eyed driver, I just don't see some corners very well. But then it was still quite ok, I only felt really sorry for Coyote on the last lap. I will definitely be back at the next "classic" race track. Congratulations to Dimitar, he was a class of his own today
Glück auf!

It was great to see Micha and Fulvio back. I am very delighted with my setup here. I made the car as faster on the straights as possible, with max tire pressure, 1 spliter and rear wing, and i compensated with the other settings available to have more grip on the corners. I knew the track very well, as i drove it on Altbierbude. Schottenring quickly become one of my favorite circuits so i couldn't wait for the race to begin. At the qualy i hit Coyote and Geoffers unfortunately at the formation lap. Sorry guys it wasn't intentional. I made two not so good laps, but maybe it was based on the lower amount of fuel and more oversteer. But i was able to make new PB and took the pole. Coyote was very fast, just 2 seconds behind, and Geoff very fast and consistent on the races, so i knew it will be tough battle with them, espcially that i was not comfortable pushing the cars to it's limit because of the little oversteer. At the start i was able to stay in P1, as Geoff made great start from P3 and took the second position. Unfortunately Coyote made big mistake and went to P9. I was a little bit faster than Geoffers but he was definitely more consistent. I was clearly faster on the straights, but at the slowest corners he was able to minimize that. We were driving with basically the same pace but unfortunately Geoff made a mistake, or something happened, and he had to retire. After that i knew that i just need to stay away from trouble and i will win. And that happened. I am really delighted with the win because it is at one of my favorite circuits.

Thanks, but you should feel sorry for me on the first lap - on the last, I believe it was Clive you went past (and should be sorry for..)

Yep, I got the line wrong through the little ess-bend just after the S/F, lost control & went up the bank. Unfortunately I ended up behind the fence & could not find a way out, so had to retire. Excellent pace DD. Congrats to the podium.

Thanks, but you should feel sorry for me on the first lap - on the last, I believe it was Clive you went past (and should be sorry for..) This is a track that is often used in GPL, so it held no surprises for me except for how quick the Elan was after a few setup tweaks. First big apologies to Tony for the inexcusable nerf during qually A total lack of judgement on my part when I was much quicker through the previous corner and I thought ( for a moment) that I could carry that pace to make a pass. Instead, I just avoided rear ending Tony and then put 2 wheels on the grass and all control went out the window!! So I retired to pits and aborted any attempt at a qualifying lap as the least that I could do. The start for me went well and I quickly gained a few places, admiring Erling's excursion on to the grass, until I caught Matt and Fulvio. Managed a pass around the outside of Matt on one of the long right hand sweeps and then found Fulvio defending his position. I was almost caught out by his braking points a couple of times before I think he allowed me a pass rather than risk an incident? Then I passed Geoffers checking the inner face of the fence??!! I guess, whatever blows your skirt up . I was now in 2nd with zero chance of catching DD, so just tried to maintain the pace that I had. But, I could see Erling making his recovery and his qually time indicated that he could easily close the gap. With 2 laps to go I thought that I might just cling on to 2nd spot, but then my tyres just lost all grip?? HUD showed them at about 25% worn ( certainly NOT into the red ). The car was understeering into corners and then if I lifted I got snap oversteer as the tail swung around. The last 2 laps were a comedy of errors on my part with multiple spins allowing Erling and Micha to pass. Nice of you to commiserate guys but do not deny that there was a hint of a smile as you passed my stranded car....I could see it even behind your helmets
