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: Note early race start time! Drivers shall not change cars during qualifying.

Just another teaser:

Geez, the TVR is a handful here.  All those sharp rises and drop off's are tough to adjust too.  Looks like a "survivor wins" track to me.  Should be interesting for sure!

I shall be missing this particular trial with the TVR, as I am off for a few days R&R around North Wales.

 I'm confident that you will enjoy the challenge guys.  ;D ;D ;D

Have a great time Clive and no sheep fiddling  :nono:

ah! I hear that it's OK these days as they have recently discovered a fascinating new use for sheep up there............. wool !!  ::)

Ack, past times glory is a long way off.  Have an old hotlap replay of myself doing a 1:33 in the TVR, but today I'm struggling - hard - just to get within 3 seconds of that time.  Wonder if the track has been changed, but then the old replay file would probably not work.  Have not driven the Elan here before, so have no old laptimes to compare with.  Laptimes are very close to my present-day TVR times.

What sort of laptimes are you guys getting - if you want to share ?

Cheers,
Erling

hi

cant me this one..................band rehearsal.
have fun, we see us following monday  :laugh:

greets hayman

My best laptime in one of the cars  :-X  is a 1:37

Am lapping fairly comfortably in the low 36's, with the TVR slightly quicker by about 0.5 sec. Not in a million years would I reach the 33's :laugh:

edit - actually thinking about it, I'm busting blood vessels getting round in 36's. Realistically its more like 37/38's if I want to run the distance.

I know what you mean Steve.  I ran a 134.8 with the Lotus in practice but never could touch the 134's again.  Am running mostly high 135-low136"s in the Lotus and 136's , 137's & 138's in the TVR in race trim/fuel.  Like this track but sometimes the adrenalin gets to pumping and I am my own worst enemy!!!

I'm getting a cut track warning on two corners when nowhere near the white lines. This is offline so maybe not an online problem. Beware.....

..............make that 3 corners >:(

we've had problems with this track in the past. I'll turn cuts off.

That should keep our tempers from overheating, thanks Tony :thumbup1:

No problem. But I'll be watching for any drivers who consistently cut corners  :nono:

If i remember correctly i was fastest with the Lotus doing 1.35's and a lot slower with the TVR with high 1.37's. All done offline as mostly i do practice when the servers are down for the other leagues..

Hope that i can make the race as i have to attend a birthdayparty tonight also. It will be the last race running a Logitech FormulaForce GP wheel as i have a replacement DFGT laying around!

2  problems tonight - couldn't stay on black stuff or achieve a flying lap.

                            - in garage, my car seemed to be placed over the top of oldgezzer's car.  ??? after quitting and rejoining, same problem.

So I quit, cars not setup properly and I didn't want to spoil anybodies race.  ::)

Have fun and the best of luck folks.  :rockon:

Replays and results now posted.

Very odd Bill, this track should host 19 cars easily.

Donations still required please  :helpsmilie:

I don't know whether it will accept 19 cars but I suffered the same problem as Bill. I tried left the server, rejoin again and same problem.
luckily I didn't have problem in qualy and the start.

RACE REPORT:

Wow, 2 funny races. Grats to Ati for his incredible laptime with TVR. The 1st race , all the race behind Ati, trying to keep his pace. Not many chances to overtake but was very funny try chase him all the race.

2nd race. The qualy was more even and one last attempt laptime and I got pole. But the start it wasn't good and Ati up to 1st place. Same situation that first race so I had to wait for my chance. 6 laps to go, Ati stepped on the grass and spun. Bad luck, mate.  :(

Grats Ati, Bob, Erling and phspok for the pod.  ;D

Great event for me. Great track, great cars, great gentleman drivers.

And in the champions standings we have a tie in teh 1st place with my teammate Erling. Good job, mate!  ;)

Thank you Jose  :thumbup1:

Thanks José - highly appreciated.  :)

At work I have a small Linux machine within the regular Windows computer only for private use,
but - as far as I know - Autosim-Analyser doesn't work with Linux, so I'm only able to contribute
the result chart when I'm back at home.

Two unexpected good races for me - the more as I had nearly no time for private praccy. 7th place twice  8).

Race 1: Elan - chose a not tested setup found on the net which worked really well - very pleased.
Race 2: TVR - chose ATI's setup (thks for posting) and had a smooth and faultless race.

CU next time.

Two rubbish races for me. My offline setups proved highly difficult to control online. One to forget.  :(

Tried and tried and tried both offline and in praccy/qual to match my former (years ago) best lap of 1:33.1 in the TVR, but just couldn't do it.  The 1:34.5 in qual was the closest I got.

Race 1:
Ati and Jose clearly untouchable, but I could possibly make a bid for 3rd.  Was punted off on L1 however, and had to make my way back through the field, in ticked-off, take-no-prisoner mood. Most places were gained by people falling off in front of me though. Not enough laps and/or speed to catch Bob in 3rd, so had to settle for 4th.

Race 2:
A new pb in qual secured 3rd.  Managed to hang on to it at the start.  Had Matt close behind, as Ati and Jose were fast disappearing up front.  Worked very hard to build a small gap to Matt. Mid-race I came upon Ati's car somersaulting back onto the track, after a major off. Had to brake to avoid him, and my hard earned gap to Matt all but evaporated.  We bot passed Ati, but he soon got past Matt and was sticking to my bumper. Should have let him past, but was determined not to lose any more time to Matt, so kept going as hard as I could. He made his own way past after a lap or so, putting me back in 3rd.  Much puzzled when he slowed before the finish line, handing me 2nd (and Matt 3rd).  Apparently a sporting gesture for punting Matt off earlier - which I then happened to benefit from too.

Grats to podium in race 1, and fellow pods in race 2 - including Ati, who was the true 2nd place.

Jose:  Shared lead in the championship yes, but I think I can predict that will only last to the next round, unless you plan on being away..  ;)

Tony: I'll make a donation shortly - forgot about it in the general confusion etc. around my Scottish trip.

Cheers,
Erling

Very good races.Race1 very close race Jose,good fun.Race2 good start,but many driving bug.Sorry Matt,I think small bump.Not the most important of the podium,only fair races,good fun  ;) Grats and thanks all,see you next race. (damn google translator  :-\ )
