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.

"Easier" is a relative term, these cars are insane, just here they are a bit less insane.... I can only really drive the Vette in this group
the others are usually beyond my skill level  ;D

It is the way I do it. The season will last all year. When the seasons are about to end, I will announce it.
Can be confusing I know. But I like to schedule a few races at a time, and at the moment I am waiting fir
the GTO cars to be released then i can start entering more events. If I do lots now, I will have to go
back and change some.

Bother... forgot to change the race from 60 mins to 30 mins, was too tired to face a 60 min race so quit.
Good luck to any that finish.

We called it a night just after 30 minutes. Anty was leading with me 2nd and Greg was in 3rd but not sure of other places as I was too busy trying to keep the car on track with limited success  ::)

Maybe Matt can sort the results  :angel:

Sorry I screwed up big time there.
The results are obviously wrong. If someone can check the replay and confirm the actual finish oreder I will edit it.

Yep the Fabcar has the fastest top speed of this bunch and will usually get the better of the others....if you can keep it on track. Could do with some nobbling imo to give cars like the chevy Dekon more of a chance.

The Dekon is for me the hardest to drive, it is a real nutter car. It might be the fastest if you can tame it
but for me the Vette is the least likely to bite your hand off.
The Capri is not too bad, the Jap cars I struggle with, and the 935 feels great, but I lose it too easily.
Thanks for the info Ant, I will fix the results after work.

Martin, can we add Shanghi as a track in this series?

Post by: phspok on March 12, 2016, 07:18:23 PM +0000
Probably, I am hesitant to add more tracks and cars than are needed, because some people are tight  ::)
Is it good? I guess so , or you wouldn't be suggesting it.

Post by: Anty on March 13, 2016, 04:42:00 AM +0000
Yes, I like it, but thats not to say all would. The reason why I think its nice is because it has the straights of Monza, lenght of Spa, some flowing corners of Suzuka. Also it have 1 very unique sprial corner, which is technically hard, but a blast if you get it wright. It has a haipin corner, overall it's really a rewarding track for me. I hope there are more that like it.

I don't have Shanghai but I've driven it on free weekends and it would make a great track for the Procar and probably the Gr5 cars too. The WEC use it and I had thought of using it in our endurance series and only left it out to keep costs down, but will probably include it next season.

well w've bought both track packs, its a little annoying to have to buy more. Though there does seem to be a lot of tracks to buy.

Yep, it's how they make their money in the long run. If you want more tracks and cars you have to pay.
The individual costs are tiny, but over a year it adds up.
Personally I don't mind paying for profesionally done tracks and cars if they are going to get used.
I only add content that I think will get several outings. Here we have the benefit that Tudor and I
will mostly use the same tracks over time, so you get decent return on your investment.

compared to the cost of iRacing it's not too bad really. Being quite new to the game myself I have concentrated on buying the tracks and 'test driving' the cars so I only need to buy the one I want for now. So far it's not cost me any more than 'buying' a boxed game off the shelf.
