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.

Great car, hateful track :)

I see that little NSU has just been released. It looks like a complete heap of crap to me, but seems to have all the beta testers rather excited. Might be worth considering it as a contender for a car on some of the smaller tracks

What's wrong with the track? I think the M1s work well here  ???
Tried the NSU at Norisring, and it's quite fun. too slow for serious racing though. I would need a lot of prodding from members to run an event
on here with them. I am waiting for the GTO cars to be released, niow they wil get some air time  :thumbup1:

Turn 6. Turn 6 is the worst corner in motorsport and even thinking about it makes me want to throw myself out of the window

Norisring isn't really the best track for them as these cars are all about carrying momentum through the corners. Just had a quick race at Bathurst and they are seriously fun on this type of track and very convincing. Remind me of racing the slower cars in GTL/PnG which always produced excellent racing. Gotta be worth at least a fun race or two?

Looking forward to those GTO cars also.

Back on topic; M1 should be a lotta fun here but I'm always carp at Laguna  ::)

Managed to get 20 minutes practice in today and I appear to suck :(

Still, should be a laugh :)

A surprise win  :) Felt like I was hustling the car round in a lower gear than I should have been in but it seemed to do the trick. Looked like a very close battle behind.

Fun race for me too after I managed to stop screwing up. Brilliant scrap with Eck for the 2nd half of the race - properly exciting. The touch out of T1 was completely my fault Eck - you deserved the position, not me.

Anth - what's with all the bumper-cars at the start? Straight into the side of me when the lights changed, then a big bang on the run into T1

Hey Gents

Nice race, well done all, John good scrap yet again Bru,

Jim, didn't mean it, I did not even see you, you must have been in my blind spot. Sorry for that Champ. Really didn't want to bump you, its a very narrow track, overtaking is difficult..

I had no idea who was at fault and we were having such a great race, I didn't want that to be the reason, I got the position. I thought it better, to cede the position and continue with the fixed grin I'd been wearing... lol.

Great race sir.

And I thought it best to get out of both your ways...   :whistling:

Not a car that suits me i'm afraid. Too much understeer and oversteer, even wacking the suspension as hard as i can go it still would bite me.
