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 v3.1 from:  http://www.gtlw.co.uk
(4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit.

(5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface)
Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

I will miss this one now, was staying with a friend but am now trapped in Reading in a hotel  :(

Great picture Matt. Anyone else spot that Escort on the far left has Brit reg plate?

I did, and it's an Essex girl from 1973 -> YPU --- L     L= FEB 1973. -PU is Essex. so maybe Dagenham, I think  XOO is a Dagenham plate
as the Works rally cars carried that plate, oh dear, I need to get out more.

 tumbleweed  busy on here lately  ???  sad to say I am out for this event  :'( feel like i've only had one race this month and that ended with a flameball engine  :(

Great banner pic again Matt.  8)

I think that the Falcon is slightly wider than the track! 

You better hope you qualify ahead of me then Clive!  ;D

Yeh it has been rather quiet recently. Must be all the excitement with Assetto Corsa
Tried that, and am yet to be impressed. I need to give it more time.

Oh Dear!!

Dooomed!!!!!!!!!!!

To those who have the power...............................we could do with the race server being started.   ;D

If this is cancelled can someone please tell me so that I don't waste the whole evening?

Ta

And me!

Well we did the race and I have a replay if the server hasn't.

Great win by John driving an aircraft carrier, closely followed over the line by Tudor in a black bath tub with no loofer or plastic duck visible!

Good race all, I decided at the last minute to join. I am glad that I did. I enjoy giving the Mustang a good thrashing, and I am just happy to have finished the race. I did have one off track excursion that nearly ended my race, but I was lucky this time. It was good racing with you all again. - Walt

Bugger.. Apologies to Ed and Stig for instigating the accident that you both got caught up in.

Congrats podium.

No problem frex, sh.. happens :-))

Stig

Thanks Clive for fending Goldtop off just long enough for me to make an escape ;D

Most humble and genuine apologies.

I am having a "challenging" week at work, and was so far up my own bottom trying to fix
issues I completely forgot about the race server duties  :hang: :hang:

Thanks to whoever did the server or had the nouse to just move the server on....
I will do the results and replay Saturday when I get home.

My G27 steering wheel stopped working today.  ??? The power light is blinking at me, the LED shift lights are all lit up, and I am no longer able to steer with it. It is just over three years old. I will contact Logitech support to see if they will send me a replacement. If not, I will have to research the possibility of fixing it or buying something new.

You're more than welcome.   ;D   LOL   What's the point of having team mates if you don't work as a team?


@Matt:  We just moved the practice server to qually at just gone 8:20.  Good job it was set up correctly for the actual race.   ;D


@Walter:  That's an ancient looking kart you have there.  Is it still running?  Sorry to hear about the G27.

Enjoyed that. Had trouble getting the vette off the line and lost places to John and more notably Clive  ::) A difficult track to pass, so I had to be patient in finding a way past Clive and it took me a few laps to work out the best place. My first effort felt a bit clumsy so I gave the place back and managed to engineer a better pass the next time around.

Unfortunately John was now a long way down the road and I had a tough job to chase back. It didn't help that I double shifted a couple of times (dodgy paddle shifter) and then on another occasion managed to engage the pit limiter coming out of the hairpin (yes it certainly does work in PnG :-[) or I might have been able to put some pressure on for the last couple of laps.

Hadn't tested the Falcon but presume it was the slower choice, so once again chapeau John  8)

The picture is 22 years old!  :D Go Kart racing was very popular in this area from 1982 to 1992 approximately. Sadly, many people dropped out if they weren't able to win. Shame.

I had a similar problem Walter, and I replaced the power supply, only to find that actually there was
nothing wrong with it, and the fault was a dodgy mains cable/fuse.

Thanks for the reply, I suspect that I had forgot to unplug the power cable while I was disconnecting everything else? The power light and LED Shift Notification lights are back to normal now. I am also able to steer with the wheel, but the calibration has failed. The wheel is upside down when I am driving straight.  :D

Logitech may send me a replacement if the warranty hasn't expired. If not, I found some helpful videos on youtube that might help me fix it. I hope to be back on track soon.
