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.

Just had a quick run in a few of the cars but not had a shot at the leaderboard yet.

I'm due to switch over to fibre sometime tomorrow so I hope they don't decide to do it during the race.

Is it wrong of me to hope they do?... :whistling:

Good race mostly. got in Spanner's way early on, then rammed him up the posterior over the finish line as I tried to decide which side to go to try a last
lap pass, and neither worked. being as I pushed him over the line, he kept the place, so, of course that was my plan  ::)

Tried my usual Vette, and found it really tough, so tried the previously (for me) undriveable capri, and it handled nicely.

I made a complete Horlicks of everyones race, I'm truelly sorry sirs. I started out of gear, then picked two. Nothing I can blame, just my own incompetence. Again, very sorry gents.

Now, what happened between Mark n Martin?, into turn 4... Was I anything to do with that one?. I'll expect a good talking to and a penalty, if I was.

Not your fault Eck, if it was you who seemed to be passing? I gave you room, and may have braked early and caught Spanner out
who waited, but then I decided to play on the grass for a while after we sort of got going.
Appologies to Spanner, didn't mean to ram, was briefly thinking i could get round one side or another as your exit was so slow
but wasn't to be  :(

Sorry about turn 4, I was going in a bit quicker than normal as i was watching you two going well, trip over each other it looked like, and hadnt accounted for you guys being in the corner as i came in. Waited for matt but then he decided to rejoin and take out Larry! Bit lonley race after that but matt realled me in towards the end. Wasnt trying to go slow into the last corner, was just taking it easy but then also got a bit sideways and you seemdd to be carrying so much speed!

Had a rubbish start (but not as rubbish as Eck  ;)) and Ant was away by T1. I struggled holding on as the 935 was quick down the straights and I couldn't get close enough to have a look into the corners. Was resigned to waiting for a mistake when Ant took too much kerb which flipped him over (I did exactly the same trick when we raced here in the Procar). From then on it was a steady drive to the line keeping an eye on the gap back to Eck.

Gr5 cars seem closer since the update a few weeks ago but the 935 still seems to be the car to beat.
