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 am in sunny Hayes for this. I might be able to do server duties if the hotel wifi is ok
but I won't be able to join.

Not the biggest of turnouts but I think we all had a thoroughly good time with some excellent close racing :)

The results don't seem to have been recorded, I will have a look on the system itself, but it will have to wait until Saturday when I get home.

Disaster - we want our points ;)

Fingers crossed it's all ok when you get a chance to look later. I'd take a look but I've no idea how RRE works  :-[

The game has not saved the results anywhere I can find.
Did people leave perhaps before the 120 secs countdown?
See what happens tonight, but I need to find a way to in put the results without
the .xml that the game produces.
Who turned up and what was the result?

Everyone stayed until the game switched through to the next event. However it was only Eck and myself, wonder if it can't cope with an event without a pull podium  ::) Eck let me win  :angel:

Wouldnt the game have saved results locally for each person?

I can't give you mine, I dump them, as soon as I leave the server.  ::)

It seems to put some results data in here:
"C:\Users\Matt1\Documents\My Games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\UserData\Log\Results\raceresults.txt"

But for me at least it is just for local events.

I don't know how to input raw data into the system.

Not sure why the slots are repeated or why the big distance in LapDistanceTravelled. Does this help at all?

I may need to ask for international rescue (Dave) to assist with this.

Also, I will create a few more events for the next few weeks this evening, as the event
bottle has run dry.

Hmm, I need an event for this Thursday.. I missed this one (as did a few people) perhaps we can rerun this
event this week, and I will figure some way of giving extra points the huge crowd who made it last week.....

I'm up for that, I love these little NSUs. So much sideways action that I can usually catch. ::)

Great idea Matt. I was on me Hols when this was run. Be good to take part this Thursday if you run it again.

So I will be going into this with no practice at all, apart from any time I can snatch after I get home from work. How much fuel will I need?

+1 - you should really embrace these Spanner, as we're running a series they're not going away anytime soon.

Good question, I'm sure I added a little fuel last week but I just estimated number of laps and used the setup thingy to ensure I had 1 or 2 spare. I wasn't worrying about fuel, the tyres on the left hand side were a different matter though.

A bit of selfishness perhaps, but I like these and so do others, so as this one of the few weeks I can play out
I wanted to have a go myself. ::)

Ignore the above  ::) I was thinking the race was tonight but of course it's tomorrow night so I will be able to turn in some offline praccy laps tonight.

Matt, do you want me to adjust the date for this event to tomorrow or keep it "as is"?

Another great night of racing in these little beasts. Had a race long battle with Eck and was just breathing a sigh of relief and thinking about my victory speech as I went into the last corner in the lead, only to have the little rotter sneak up my inside and outdrag me to the line  ;)

Surprised to be on the tail of the leaders, and then somehow managed to hit the wall. On the straight. Sigh  ::)

Car was a mess, but fortunately found Tony to be a willing playmate, although I think he was mostly toying with me.. Good fun though, until I lost my bearings at the final hairpin and smashed into the wall again, this time killing the car. Sorry Tony, I think I caused you to go off too, and sorry for messing up the fun..

Congrats podium.

Not toying with you at all honest. I really enjoyed having someone to race with and we had a good few laps battlin'. Your going straight at the hairpin didn't cause me to crash, I did that on my own. I wanted you to continue, that's why I gave you that bump up the rear to let you know I was good to go. But your car must have been messed up? Sorry you decided to quit out as we could have had a fine old race together. I was left with 5 litres in the tank so I guess I added more fuel than necessary. Good fun and await the next one.

Having watched the replay I must apologise to Pete  :-[
Had no idea you were on the inside at T1, saw someone spinning out
had not realised I cut in on you. Sorry.

Yeah it was crabbing along the wall, full throttle yet hardly moving. Nothing to do but quit out, sorry.
