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.
(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.
(4) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R;group=330;theme=5)

Special Notes: None

To the top.

Woohoo. I'm sorted I think.

I can see all the altbeirbude servers now so I believe that's it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.

I can also see the SROU GTC server.

:thumbup2:
Hope to see you on Monday...maybe in T1  ;D

hey Tony.

Just to let you know the link for UKGTL Skin Pack 1.8.0.0 doesn't work.

Also how do I go around registering for a car for this championship?? Chears

I'm getting dibs in early on if that's how it works  :laugh:

BMW 2002 Tii S for me please :-) 2.17:438 and could probably get another few seconds knocked off of that as that was just 1 flying lap with only the first lap as practice.

I'll get a new link posted ASAP.

You don't have to register, just turn up. You can only drive each make of car four times.

See previous answer  ;)

Sweet chears Ill take thhe 2002 tii s for this one.

A new download link is available for the UKGTL skin pack.

Most likely I have to miss this one  :( but I hope to be available for tomorrow's 50's event at Monza.

Have fun guys.

 ;)

I will miss this as I'm socialising with some antipodeans at the Hesketh tonight

Was going really well to start with after the first lap spin managed to make up a few positions, but then went to avoid someone spinning and hit the wall and damaged suspension and the car became pretty much impossible to control and couldn't find the pit lane entry *DUH* hope to see you next week though.

 :'( :'(

i did loose connection 2 laps before end of race.
i was 2nd in this time, but johnson was only 1 sec. behind and was much faster, so a 3rd place i had done with the boss car.
i hope johnson did not become problems with my car if i did loose connection.

i was totaly happy with my race, first time i did drive this car and i did no mistakes, but then comes this...

congrats to podiums

 ;D

The race was a huge fun in the, as usual, back group :) I had a great time the entire race, a night to remember.  I took advantadge of the 1st lap mess and won some positions roaring like hell  ;D I had to do a hard defense of my position against the fast guys coming from behind, sometimes doing strange lines, i guess that also upsetting my pursuers. As expected, the tires worn out quickly, moreover i did some mistakes, therefore couldn't hold them to the end.

Compared to other Mustangs my pace was bad, seems that the more i tweak the setup the slower the car is  >:(

See you in next event!

Perfect race yesterday for our team (GTLDK). 1st navin and 3rd Pelle. Grats guys.

Report Race:

I lost a few positions on start. I think that first lap was finished in last place.  :(
After that, trying to catch the Dario (De Martini) group and then fighting with tibernius, Phil and Dario for the 6th. Was funny!  :laugh:
Finally 7th.

Sorry Tony for hit you on the first lap.

Cheers!

A total surprise win as just minutes before the start I was still nowhere near the front in lap time. Was working on setup through the entire practice and not finding my usual tricks helping at all. As it went I realized setup wasn't the real issue and I was just running poor lines around this track. Found a better line and improved lap times. Had an OK start but got sacked by two of the Boss's. Got one spot back and then Pelle helped me get to second 8). After that I was following Hristo around and that first lap or two really helped as I found an even better line he was running ;). Most things after that were a bit of a blur with a couple of spins and was back to 3rd and was lucky enough not to run into Berger as I was just passing him went he froze and discoed :(. Bad luck as he was driving that Boss to an amazing level. Then thought that was that for second place when I saw Hristo off deep in the kitty. Like Alonso, I was shocked to get the win :o ;D. Only in this case it wasn't from brilliant driving as I had 2 or 3 offs and was never happy with the car. But I'll take it!! ;) Grats to Hristo and Pelle and nice to see the good turnout. Great to see Jose and Dario ;D Cheers

 ::) Got a good start then completely misjudged my braking point for the chicane and hit the wall.  :o Lost my front spoiler :o :o :o and rejoined in last place. Had a very nice race  even with the slight under steer due to lack of spoiler. Finished in P5 due to poor Bergers disconnection 2 laps before the finish.

A late decision to join this one and was surprised to be on the pace. Thought I'd nabbed pole, but left to make a coffee and returned to find myself in 3rd  ::)

Knew I'd be mugged off the line as I had a long 1st gear, but made a real mess of the opening laps going off 2 or 3 times which spoilt any chance of me racing near the front. Had a nice few battles as I recovered and enjoyed the ride around one of my favourite tracks.

Grats to Navin and the podies and bad luck Berger.
