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.

Ouch, three people! Um... grats podium? That's the summer effect I guess.
For my part, my pedals are out of action but a replacement part is on it's way, so I'll be back in action by next Thurs.

That's good news John.

You were sadly missed as Geoffers needed you to play with because I can't make the Sprint go fast enough.

I made a good start but then on lap two I just ran onto the white line on the inside of T2 and by the time I had her aimed in the right direction both Tony and Geoffers were past.

I wasn't entirely sure how I was going to get past Tony until he made a slight error coming out of Moss and I was able to draw alongside.  Still don't think that the Sprint had the necessary grunt if Tony hadn't lifted.  Ta!

I then just went as quick as I could and suddenly found myself in the lead!  I think that Geoffers must have gone for a pit stop.  Anyway, he had judged it nicely and was able to retake the lead with a couple of laps to go.

Grats Geoffers and WD Tony, I think that you beat your PB in qually and the race?

Yeh, I think the BSCC Mustang was a bit too quick for the other two cars, I was quite a way in front so decided to change tyres at half distance to make it a bit interesting, it wasn't planned. Nearly made a mess of the stop, as I just noticed in time that the pitcrew were going to fill the car with fuel!

Shame there was such a small turnout, but well done to Clive & Tony for making it to the finish.

Very sorry guys - seems to be a curse at the moment.
Delayed return home due to "playing kids in the rails"  :nono: :devil:

I was all ready to go in a my shimmering attic room (27 degrees Celsius +) but Png2 refused to start up. Received all kind of crash reports and after 15 attempts including reboot I gave up. Strange really because during praccy @ Tuesday it worked fine. Heat maybe?

Turned to Iracing but that was a disaster (but that's another story).

Hope I can get PnG2 working again  :-\

3 participants? Ouch....... I might consider bringing my racing gear to the summer cottage, but the web-speed is pretty slow, and I don't know if it's fast enough for online racing. On va voir :-))
