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.

Special Notes: None.

I really, really should have done better here. In practise it was obvious that the Bemmer was absolutely the right car for this track; it was 5secs faster than any of the other available cars I had in my garage.
Started in 3rd but my first lap was a mare with offs at Degna and the final hairpin.
The remainder of the race was littered with mistakes at Degnar 1 which I found very tricky to judge correctly.
Would have liked to have given Erling a bit more of a race but it was not to be. Fantastic pace from Matt tho  :o
Thanks to those who turned out.
Next one is USA (no Russia as the track hasn't been modded yet).
Hopefully we will have a few more regulars returning.

PS With only three rounds left, first and second Championship places look sorted but third still looks like a tasty battle  ;)

Winning the race would have been a nice present on my 50th Birthday, but alas, with two 2002 tii S present, that wasn't to be (Yes I know, pathetic I had nothing better to do on this day, but party will follow on a later day...  :))

Had qualified 2nd, but predictably was outdragged by Tony's Beemer after the start went.  Regained 2nd when he overshot at the end of L1. Had him looming larger and larger in my mirrors, until he went off into the kitty litter on L3.  Worked hard to build a gap from then on.  Matt was long gone of course, so a very lonely race from that point on.  Only signs of other life on the track came from the frenetic snarl of Postal's Nissan, which could be heard in places around the track, and from catching Roger at the very end.

Grats to Matt on a convincing win.

Cheers,
Erling

Hey Erling - belated happy birthday mate and all the best!

Thanks Kurt  :)

Tony, forgot to mention that like Roger, I really enjoyed this track.  Would love to see it used again in upcoming series.

Cheers,
