This race will be a rolling start following a formation lap and the procedure is as follows:

*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

cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.

rules about in-game chat messages.

Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

Might not be around to restart the server for this so could do with back up just in case please. Should be ok for quali/race.

I can't help for this one, in fact I need help for Thursday as I will be sat on a train tommorow evening on the way to London
for the week...  :(

No problem, I should be back in time but at worst it will mean a shorter official practice session if I'm delayed.

I'm around Thursday so can do the restart  :thumbup1:

This really works well, a great combo. Short track but plenty of corners and the never used enduro chicane at the end. This car is all about the corners, shame about the gutless engine! I bet the LMPs would be good ;)

Hard to get a decent lap, after 10mins best was a 1:31:5

I can be around this evening to start the server for you.

Thanks Pete  :thumbup1:

 I will do the results, but may have to wait until Monday, as I am traveling.

Great racing again this evening....I'm getting far too old for all this excitement  :laugh:

Couldn't match the pace tonight but found myself in the lead early on as John received a slow down (first of a few that seemed a bit innocuous   ???) and then had a right old battle trying to keep myself there.  Some great side by side racing there John  :thumbup1: 

Thanks for sorting the server Pete  8)

Matt, I haven't set the practice server for Thursday as I'm not sure if it mucks up the results. I can do it tomorrow night if needed.

Changing the server after the race has no effect on results. They are exported when the race finishes.
In fact I don't need to log on to the server to do the results  ;D as they are exported to a couple of places
one being my home ftp server. I am teaching in London for 4 days, "if"  I can get the right train I may be
back for Thursday's race. WOuld you be able to restart and then jump on the server at 19:45 in case
I am delayed?

Yes, no problem.

Great race! really enjoyed that  ;D some great close racing with you Tudor :D

cut track penalty was a bit harsh but hay hoo managed to get the win. loving these cars a lot looking forward to next event.

good race last night, as Spanner says this track/car combo was really good. lots of close racing without contact as well

That was really good fun but hard work. I was definitely a bit erratic at times, fell off a few times so sorry for that. Was trying a different driving view. Wasnt trying to be that aggressive SRW i just found i braked later than you!

Was having a good race with Apex but fell off but then managed to catch up with the guys ahead and had a good race with them for a while but ended up ahead and so tried to chase down Apex again who seemed to be struggling as well at times. Somehow got two white flag laps ??? shame it ended with Apex slowing on the last lap was going to be tight!

Although I never got into an actual race with anyone...I was quite happy to complete the race with only one minor off where I lost the back end a little. Consistency is coming...just need some speed now!
