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.

Any strong opinions about whether we stay on with the Pilsbierbude lobby or go back to the Simbin one?

Are the car allocations correct Tony?

John and I both have the same options available but he has missed one more round; unless Bridgehampton is being taken into account. 

Just puzzled.   ???

Apologies, I hadn't included Mosport. Should be correct now.

Had a short test of my P&G install online yesterday. Seems to work ok.

So I'll try to join tonight although I don't really like The Glen and I think
I'll use the Mustang.

Results and Replay Posted

Sorry for the slow start, I lost all my key mappings, and the wheel lost cal and centre was not centre
Good enough to drive, but made me pause for a second or two.

Didn't occupy myself that much with the Mustang so far, so I realized too late
that there are some differences (at least concerning tyres) between the single
BSCC Mustangs (1966, 1967, 1968).
Changed from 1966 to 1968 (from Firestone to Dunlop tyres) and had to notice
that it feels very different but it was too late for deeper examination.
Maybe it was a mistake to stay with the 1968 - for sure it was a mistake to
choose the softest tyres.
Had some better laps during opening stage of the race and was able to come
closer to Clive but had to pay attention to my left front tyre already from lap
6 or 7 or so. Was only one second behind Clive when I had my first turner at
the beginning of the finishing straight and after that the handling decreased
very fast and considerably due to my sick left front tyre, had some more turners
and accidents and had to leave the game due to destroyed suspension.  :(

Hard luck Kurt.  Hope it wasn't my fault but it seemed that every time you closed in on me you had another nasty moment.

I hadn't done a lap before the last few minutes of qualifying, when I grabbed my Mosport setup and headed for the track.  I hadn't known until about 8:00 o'clock that there would be any chance of my racing.

Matt was asleep on the grid but once he got going I couldn't stay with him.  It took me a while to realise that it was Kurt behind me, as I expected Tony.  Kurt had some moments that dropped him back and I was left on my own to take advantage of Stig's problems.

I came to the conclusion that I was too low geared but just had to plod on.

Grats to John and Matt.  Shame there wasn't another lap at the end as Matt ran into problems at the end.  ;D

Big thanks to Matt for sorting the results for me.

I was all sorted for the race having fixed my wheel problems (duff USB Bus). Whilst on the grid I was trying to get a high engine value and failed to notice that everyone else was on the grid. Hence race started whilst I was in the garage. What a plonker.
