The Sprints

RACE TWO

Track: Barber (Sprint Series) Download this (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3358.msg109873#post_barber)

Cars allowed: GTC-65 Chevrolet Corvette

Practice: ~20:30 (10 mins)
Qualifying: 20:40 (10 mins)
Race: 20:50 (16 laps)

Times are approximate

Only one lap allowed to set a time in qualifying. So drivers must take one out lap then one hot lap.

Time of Day Setting: 14:00
Start: STANDING
Tyre wear: Normal
Fuel consumption: Normal
Pit stops: Normal

Server: simracing.org.uk Monday
Password: see above (#post_event_password)

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

Hi Tony,  have a problem here.  ::)  I can load this track OK and select my Corvette but when I try and start driving, GTL trips out and goes back to Windows.  I've tried 2 different cars without success.  Help!!  ???

Rouen is OK.  ;D

Hmm, odd. It's a standard car so one would expect no problems with it. Is your GTL set to the highest skill level?

This race was the evening's high point for me.

Surprised to qualify 3rd, but with the hot lap qual, it's very much hit or miss.

Was jumped by Pelle at the start, and when I then went wide at T1, Clive slipped past too.  Chased him closely over the following laps, until he went wide at T2, so I could squeeze past on the inside.  Had to work very hard over the following laps, to stay ahead of him.  Just as I had worked up the slightest of gaps, my rear tyres gave up the ghost, and I lost the rear at T3. Barely avoided a spin, but lost enough time for Clive to get past.  More mistakes at the same corner the following laps meant the gap to him grew, which didn't help my mission of putting him under pressure.  Finally got my driving adapted to the worn tyres and closed the gap a little towards the end, but too late to change the outcome.  Grats to the podium.

Cheers,
Erling
