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

Is date correct? 26 Nov is a Saturday. ::) ???

2012 - Bill ;)

to the top - after barely more than one year  ;)

Nevertheless I probably will have to skip this one because I need some more time
for practicing with the LM55 cars on the Nordschleife for tomorrow's event  8)
Still need some improvement on my setup  ::)

Have fun guys.

 :) Escort and the Boss very close here for me !......It may come down to tyres ......and luck.  :P

Dammit  >:( Lost my connection and I was having a fantastic drive trying to keep my Boss up with Matt's Porsche. Oh well, have a good one Gents.

 ;) Qualified P3 but the V8 grunt put me in P1 on lap one.......Berger must have though he had seen it all before..Stuck behind the Boss again!  :P  ;D. We had a good race but my tyres as predicted gave up mid distance so finished P4.  :-\  :)

PS Looking forward to the replay.  :)

Replay and results now posted

2012 Christmas Special (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=10931.msg197588#msg197588)

My PC was doping strange things, I dropped out just before the race to reboot it
It seems Billy Gates reckons updating my machine is more important than me using it
Despite me setting anything that wants to update to be manual, it reset itself to auto
if it does it again I will have to just turn off windows updates, and do a manual check every
now anf then. Everything went so choppy I was struggling to keep the car on the road
I fell off with it at one point and gave up.

 :) Don't forget the most important thing in the universe is Microsoft.  ::) I have just bought my son an Xbox for his birthday. When setting up the first thing Microsoft ask for is your credit card details  ???.... As if they have not extracted enough of your hard earned cash they demand more......... I'm afraid I am not their greatest fan!  :-\

I must do some testing...  8) 8) 8)
