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.

Another fun race, despite some admin idiot (me) leaving at 40 mins from last Sunday's event  ::) :whistling:
was not sure about fuel, I think it maybe starts you with whatever you have set in the pit stop preset
but I messed with it thinking it was a 30 min race... I think Eck did the same
Sorry for the haddock up. been a busy week...

First off, sorry Mark. I didn't ditch you, my 'puter crashed while I was off getting a drink.

Normally I look at these things, this time I had great faith in you sir.... Alright, you got me, I failed to look. Fuel in the setup, was just same as previous races. After you mentioned fuel, I knew I was gonna have to stop.
I wanted to catch the leaders, in regulation time. I got the gap down below 2 seconds, then ran out of talent... I rolled the car, off of the inside kerb at Tarzan. My tyres were toast, I was in talent crises. So, to complicate things farther, I farfed with the pitmenu...
Entering pits, I bounced between the barriers or as I've started calling it, pinball alley. Then, I didn't confirm till I'd been stopped for a second or five.

Comedy of errors, after the talent breakdown. Somehow, I got it to the finish and still on the lead lap.

Had great races with Oscar and Martin, along the way. A great evening...

I have never used the Pitstop preset so didn't appreciate that this needed looking into before a race. I assumed RRE automatically took care of such things. No racing as such but I did enjoy trying to improve my pace at this track, which IMO was a good choice for these cars. When it looked likely that I was about to run out of gas I took to the pit lane. It was only when the sim took control of my car for pitting that it dawned on me that I had never done a pitstop in RRE and had no idea what to expect. Car stopped at it's pit box and I was presented with a pitboard that I faffed around with for a couple of mins. Could not workout how to get more fuel so quit out.
BTW, noticed some other leagues were racing these at Norisring. Just sayin  ;)

Wonderful race again last night and a truly epic battle with John  8)

I saw your roll in my mirrors Eck and wondered who was the numpty  :laugh: I hadn't noticed anyone behind until then as I was so focussed on John's rear end (oooooooerr madam). It was my own doing that John ended up in front as I made a small error which was enough to let him by. I convinced myself that he had some sort of DRS thing going on with that rear engine hood as no matter what I did I couldn't quite catch him on the s/f straight  ;)

I checked the fuel just before going to grid but didn't have time to do the maths so elected to start with a full tank just to be sure.

that was a cracker! Great race goldtop!!

well done on getting pole was close though as was the race, great fun to have such close racing was a pleasure to race with sir!
with these things being the same and a top speed of 105 mph i knew it was going to be really tough race even with the long straights.

till the next one!
