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.

Couple of days ago I tested this Leaderboard in different cars in DTM-92 and managed to drive 1.35.6xx but it not registered on leaderboard... Its my best in Mustang and Mercedes... Maybe when I finnish my lap I go back to the garage and the game not register my lap... So have to go and drive again... There is chance to go high 1.34 but how to hell somebody managed to go like 1.33... Insane laps... Which time in the Leaderboard is This community peoples time? I notice Tudor Morris...

Hey Gents

I think race pace in low 1:35's is good.. I think a 1:34.5 in leader boards is excellent, but I think there is a problem with these times. Anything lower than 1:34.5.. Because number 12 Goerge Gav... Is really quick, I have raced him and for him only to do a 1:34.5 you can believe it is a reasonable lap.

Anyway these cars are still awesome to drive, looking forward to this one. I had some time in server today, because we had a public holiday. A pity about last night, but hopefully it won't happen again.

I was practicing for the WTCC event TCone, I will try and qualify for it. But these guys are crazy quick. if I make it into TCone it will be a miracle ATM I am 1.6 about off the pace, but after the fuel lock after the update I think I am about 1.1 seconds off

Anyway have a great week see you all Thursday
Ant

Looks like one of their new leader board comps is the DTM 92 Merc round Zolder! someone must be psychic!

In fact most of them look amazing, Audi P1 at Suzuka, GTOs at Mid ohio, GTR2s at Laguna...

Yesterdays patch might have something to do with it, I know they fixed something at Zolder, but totally agree with you. I lost a few tenths also yesterday

Usual request for someone to join the server at 19:45 and stay on.
I can reset the server, but I can't join as I am stuck away from home.

I think there may have been a Steam RRE dedi server update today.  I see one on the RC dedi server (42mb update).

If you load up steam on your dedi, and look at 'Library' > 'tools' > RaceRoom Dedicated Server, it should say if an update is needed.

Good Luck.

A bit of a hectic first lap again last night but after it settled down into a decent race. First half of race was making back lost positions and chasing after Eck in his stang. I think he let me past on the S/F straight for 2nd but then I was being chased down by Jan who caught and passed me easily in the end. Decent turnout again.

It was a pretty good race fir me afterall... Second position in the qual and good start... In the first shikane U was second and littlebit too fast in the shikane so game give me time penalty... I was suprised that becayse U dont know about time penalties but it eas good rules... So time penalty for me in the firs shikane and somebody hit my back hard and I spinned out... So then I was last position in the race but I know that I was able to go good laps and go fast... Then suddendly I was fourth bahind the Tudor and Eck... And the situation change front of me and Tudor take second place... There was plenty of time and I overtake Eck and then Tudor and sevond place... Good race... And Whitout that spin in first lap I think that I never be change to go so fast that A.Rofail... Such a Alien... But in the Quoa, our gap is very little... 0,04s..
Thatk everybody at the good race and I have to adk my frend that if He got time to do a little video for that race...

Sounds like I missed a good one  :(
This cut track penalty thing is annoying. Even though we are all fine upstanding drivers who
always keep within track limits  :angel:
I am in favour of some sort of penalty for regular track cutting. Slow down, is our preferred option as
it means the driver only loses a bit of time, and doesn't always lose places. The down side, as mentioned
previously is that if you are following someone who take a slow down, it is too easy to ram them up the
posterior  :o And this has happened a few times. I am thinking maybe we should do drive through instead?
stop and go would be overly harsh I think, but with drive through you keep moving and get off the track
out of other people's way, there will still be an occasion where you are slowing to go to the pits, and someone
rams you anyway. ::) but it seems a better way to me. Obviously if you take a drive through you need to make sure
that you have a pit speed limit button set.

Thats true phspok... Maybe its too hard that when You cut trck You get a drive through... But maybe if You cut like three times then its right to get drive through... I dfont now... Time penalty is annoying but stil its good thing also... When to race starts I dont knowed that there is that kind of system like time penalty when you cut... But that its ok!

The track seems to have quite forgiving limits tbh, watching people through the chicane, I seemed to easily loose 0.5 sec through it most laps.

I think a drive through might put people off?? as it then ruins their race.

I think a drive through would lose you only a little more time than a slow down. And is less likely to cause an accident.

I don't mind giving it a go. We've had quite a few incidents caused by slow downs and it's often the innocent drivers that lose out. I'll set tonight's race for drive through.
