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=331;theme=5)

Tony, FileFront not working for me,  ??? assistance please.  ;D

Yeah, neither link is working. We're going to need a new download link for the track.

New link on it's way meanwhile this is the track http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=3773

Thanks Tony, link is now working "Amazon S3"

Quick of the mark there Bill Thomas  :o

Yes an updated download link has now been provided.

 
Raining cats & dogs this morning, so had permission to drive and get next week's car/track combos sorted.  "Make hay while sun shines" in converse sort of way.  Ha Ha

Definitely out for this one and doubtful for tomorrow's LM55 race.

Simply too hot - nearly 30° C in my house -  no motivation to do anything - sorry guys  ::)

Lucky man  ;D ;D

Here in Rome, we are constantly over 35° by 2 months, with only half an hour of rain 1 week ago ;D

Never done a race on an oval, so I could give Indy a try. I don't know the track... but it shouldn't be difficult to learn  :P :P

Cu later probably :)

Drink Beer?

Indianapolis = Turn left, then turn left, then turn left, then turn left, and then do it all over again.
might not make this one, should make tommorow.

Hopefully there will be a little more to it than that.

showing anderstorp north on mine?

 :-\  Qualified P6 and made it to P4 off the start. Stayed with the leaders for some laps before an error and dropped back to be eatten up by Syd and the Geoffers. Retired when Pelle hit me up the arse and tipped me over mid corner, car to damaged to continue.  :'( The end!

I lost connection at around the same time my missus turned on Netflix  ::)

Thought I fueled up but I was mistaken :-)

Excellent tactical race. Had a good start and took the lead, but was soon reeled in down those long straights. Settled into slipstreaming with Hristo and Navin and was able to take advantage of traffic and slip through for the lead only to get on the curb and lose it coming onto the straight. Had to really get my head down and chase hard before eventually getting back. Thanks for flashing me through btw Navin  8)

Was hitching a ride behind Hristo for the last 20 laps or so, happy to bide my time and not wanting to take the lead because I knew he would only repass. Was very cat and mouse and I could see he was tempting me through, but I was waiting to make my move on lap 40 into T1 where I seemed to be quicker. Then with a couple of laps to go H caught me by surprise with a run for home and I was left picking rubber out of my teeth  ::) Grats on the win mate  8)

Replay and results now posted

Not much to say other than was fun early trying to keep up with GT and Hristo. I was able to stay with them when they were going at it but once they split I just couldn't hang on anymore. And hey np GT for letting you through. Oval races are more about lap times and I didn't see any point holding you up and it was good to see you and Hristo hook up again for some fun 8). Good job fellas and as always a big thank you to our Bernie. aka Tony ;D

Never interested in ovals until we raced Cobras at Monza 1955 to 71 and I found it quite an achievement when I got line right around that Concrete Bowl and drove flatout around it. :thumbup1:  Therefore I persevered and was able to get around here consistently with just lift to get turn-in and then full throttle again.   A satisfying night's driving  :jumpjoy: although lonely in the smaller engined car. 
Iin reply to chat query why I always drive the smaller engined car , my reactions are not fast enough to handle power of larger engine.  :wheelchair: :rockon:
