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 (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/), 2.1 patch from here (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/) and enable terrain patch.
(4) P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function. You may go as fast as you like in the pits, but please exercise caution. Penalties will be handed out for causing contact in the pit lane. Use your best judgement when making your pitstop during the race.

Thought that this would be another track completely new for me
but recognized it on while watching the vids here:

http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Road_Atlanta (http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Road_Atlanta)

Long time ago I already had it on my machine.
However a lot to learn again.

Sorry, can't come out to play tonight.

But I have given Kurt a 1:35 TT lap to chase.

Will be at home late tonight but I'll join for sure.

Could not chase Clive's 1:35 lap till now.

Only few laps yesterday with a modified Westwood or Mid-America setup (don't know
exactly at the moment) in the Falcon Mann reaching 1:41.9 so far.

Obviously there seems to be a war between me and some of the software installed in my machine.

Tonight there had already been the updates of Windows (Patchday) and Adobe Flash Player so I was optimistic that nothing more would happen but during lap 2 Adobe Flash Player automatically wanted
to update once again. Automatic updates were disabled before  ???
So I lost control and after I came back I already was nearly a lap back and totally lost motivation.

Hope that some day I will be able to have some nice races with the "Gentlemen Drivers" again.

At the moment totally demoralized.

(I had some severe computer crashes caused by virusses, malware etc. last year and the year before
so I'm not willing to disable these programs)

dont know why the sudden drop in interest  ??? but it was a poor turnout last night for a good track.  :(

Made for a very dull race for me with nobody to race, enhanced by two very annoying slow speed spins in the first few laps, when trying to cut across the edge of the gravel at the bottom of the hill, that left me too far behind the matt and ade battle and no one else close on track to fight with.

Finished a lonely 4th.

No sudden loss of interest but Stig on holiday, I was having to attend a work related dinner and Tim couldn't make it either.

With the size of field that we have at the minute, three going missing has a big impact.
