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 Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the Euro and American Track Packs for this series (And maybe another
non pack track occasionally)
(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 have posted this, but for the UK people it may conflict with Bonfire Night/Guy Fawkes night
Most people in UK celebrate The King not being blown up on the Saturday after, or before, not the actual day
(Thursday in this case) so I am hoping it will not put people off.

In game, top of the main admin screen drop down menu. buy the DTM92, Touring Classics, Gr5, and BMW M1 Procar
it will buy them through steam.
I guess you could buy them through the store as well.

http://game.raceroom.com/store/cars/dtm-1992
http://game.raceroom.com/store/cars/touring-classics
http://game.raceroom.com/store/cars/group-5
http://game.raceroom.com/store/cars/procar

Tracks come much the same way. we are using - Bathurst, Suzuka, Euro and American Track pack so far.


Seems most of what you need is currently discounted :

is close enough to the topic for me  ::)
do we want Paul Ricard? perhaps the Gr5 cars would suit it.
I did one lap on bathhurst with the Audi last night and got so annoyed with the new rubbish steering response
that I killed it and went to do some more GTL_F1. They have really screwed this game for me with this
last "update" I managed to get something drivable with the Procar 2 weeks ago, but I didn't have the
patience last night  >:(

Well I just bought it so yes please.

Regarding the steering feel; I was quite happy with it when I tested at Bathurst in the BMW yet the only thing I have fiddled with since the update is the settings found in Steering Setup.

I have always found the Audi a bit strange.

The DTM '92 cars should feel exactly the same as before recent update and old setups should still be valid for these cars.

I found the only change I had to make between old physics and new physics (for example the procar and GTR3 cars) was to lower the steering force for the cars with the new physics.

As for Ricard, I bought it when it first came out as it's one of my favourite tracks.

I am using a G25, what steering settings do you use (now) I think I ran the Procars with 400/15
but that felt really non linear with this Audi, maybe it's just the Audi, but I don't remember it
like that before.

I can't pass up this opportunity, so make way for a Mustang going down Conrod. But remember, it'll be in yer way, at the Chase.. and Murrays... and Hell... and.. and.

DFGT here with 900/30 which I believe is default for all the DTM '92 cars.

Still as I had previously, G29, 425/13 and for all cars.

Thanks, went with 400/13 which felt about right for me.

Good race  :thumbup1: spent most of the race with Tudor either a few secs behind or in front. I made too many errors
to keep it a close battle, but had a great time trying to worry him  :angel:

I best make the most of that result. That was very much car and track related, I don't expect to be anywhere near, with any other car, track combo.

Grats to Reinhard, I wouldn't have been anywhere near, had the mountain been traffic free. Grats to Anthony, looked like a real tight fight between yourself and Jim.

Thanks all, great to be part of that race. Though, I am the most likely to say that.

Blimey that was a bit of a thriller wasn't it :)

After trying to intimidate him all race, I decided that the only sensible course of action to pass Anth was a late lunge up the inside into the Chase. I thought I'd washed out into the side of him but on the replay it looks like I'm not as tight as I should be and Anth is turning in a bit so the inevitable collision was a 50-50 thing. I waited, thinking it was the last lap, but it wasn't and by the time I got going again I was too far back to have another pop. Then I got a slow-down on top of the mountain and it spun me round :(

Utterly brilliant race :D

I didn't retire, I saw the flag in front of Bill and behind Roger, who I let pass me cos I thought he was a lap dancer.

Good race tho except my car liked to oversteer at the last turn and the first.

Chortle. However I meant for the champ points. Ok, so you did, when I do that it only wants to update the single event results

Do you do "Generate Standings" after you've altered the event results?

My apologize to Tony and the 2 leaders last lap,  did not see blue flag (saw lots in the crowd) thought Tony had a prob so could not wait to shoot passed him, last straight thought i had good gap to leaders so kept going  :-[, enjoyed race great fun trying to keep with Tony who was a lot faster than me.

Grats to Podium

I think so, but the champ points don't change, or that's what happened last time

Qualied 4th finished 4th.

Someone side swiped me off the track at the start and I lost a few places into T1. A bit more care needed with these starts I think.

Had a messy couple of laps but after passing Tony, set about trying to catch Matt and made slow progress until he had an off and I sneaked past for 5th. Could see the battle up ahead was very close between Ant and Jim so was mindful of picking up any tasty morsels that came my way through little mistakes :devil: As it happened I did feel a bit guilty passing Jim as he was trying to reverse it out of the barrier half way down the mountain on the last lap :angel:

Already looking forward to Spa next week in the hooligan cars.

That was a tight race, I was under pressure all race, did no practice and my setup was horrible, the guys where pumping me down the straights. I had nothing I could do, well done all. Great race..

I had a extremely busy week..
