This race will be a rolling start following a formation lap and the procedure is as follows:

*It will be the pole sitter's responsibility to complete the first lap at a pace that allows the rest of the grid to follow comfortably
*There should be no overtaking or hard accelerating/braking
*Drivers should avoid getting too far behind or too close to the driver in front
*Approximately 20 seconds before crossing the start line the pole sitter should slow down to a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*Each following driver shall close up directly behind the driver in front also maintaining a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*The pole sitter should maintain that speed until they cross the start line and then accelerate away to start the race (lap2)
*Each following driver should only accelerate when the driver directly ahead does (they do not have to wait until crossing the start line)
*No overtaking is allowed before crossing the start line at the completion of the formation lap

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 won't be around for this one so could someone start the race server and join at 20:00 please?

Hmm this might be interesting.

Whats the deal, why does someone have to join straight away?

It just starts the practice clock ticking so that all sessions then run to schedule. Whoever joins just needs to stay connected or it will restart at practice if everyone leaves (I believe).

Hmm, this starts to feel like iR. Buy new stuff for every race...

Portimao is free content also the Mistral and DMD P2 cars so nothing to buy for this event.

I will probably be around for this one, so will do server stuff and join

Uhh, didn't mean it like it came out. I was thinking about a game concept. I prefer a finished game, that's all.
Besides, I would buy Portimao even for GTR2 :)

Unfortunatley TT that is the way of all games now be it driving, FPS etc. No such thing as a finished game when we can drip feed it and charge people extra! The DLC surely is more profitable for them.

It does feel like your buying alot, but you dont need to buy the car packs, just one or two cars you want to drive. I dont have the Radicals for this class and 2 or 3 of the GTR3 cars.

Only myself and Picnic so far on the leaderboard. I'm sure the proper LMP2s will be quicker here than the DP.

got to go to a wedding reception tonight, so no race for me :(

Messed that up. Oscar braked earlier than I was expecting into T1 and I rammed him which caught Larry out and we all ended up
in a heap. Quit in disgust. appologies if I ruined people's races. Only 4 turned which was dissapointing.

Ive been interested in racing with you guys for a bit, but the turn out looks low. Was there only 4 people out today? DO you guys ever get 20+ fields?

10+/- is our usual turnout on Sundays and Thursdays and is enough to produce excellent racing. Don't think we've ever had 20+ grids here except maybe GTL or GTR2 in its heyday, but those who do race here are clean and fair racers with lots of experience which is more than you can say for many leagues. Come and give us a try Mike  :thumbup1:

matt your leaving i think ruined things more than the shunt at the start. I wasnt trying too hard to start with as i didnt want to just disappear off in the distance but seemed to be a bit ragged picking up a number of warnings, even missing the the turn-in into the last corner. There's definatly something up with my pitting as there was a definite waiting countdown before doing anything.

I knew with my crap pitstops i wouldnt be too far ahead and Oscar seemed to be alot more consistent which made it rather hard to chase down, but it was still good fun!

Glad you stuck it out Apex, but your car looked a bit er... well you seemed to have massive understeer as your front wheel seemed to be almost on full lock! I can give you my setup if you want?

Hi Matt,

Sorry for that ... I could have been braking a little earlier..
As I did not want to miss the apex with cold brakes..  :)
I was looking and waiting for you to proceed..
Saw your brief chat note... "sorry" .. Followed by.. "Matt has left.."  :(
Hope we can try this again on Sunday..!?

I should .. abw.. Make it ..!!!
