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.

at 30 mins, if people go fast enough it will probably give 4 laps, depending on when the leader crosses the line it
migh do 5, not sure, make sure you fuel for it  ::)

15 minutes quali will mean we won't be able to hang about on the outlap but it should be enough. Quite looking forward to this  :)

I will extend qual by a few minutes to give people at least one crack at a flying lap
I tried to find a shortcut that works, but so far no luck.
I will be doing this  :jumpjoy: and will be around next week as well  ;D

Rats, was looking forward to this, but going to have to miss it. have a good one

I'll be there tonight but if it's anything like last night in the Cayman GT4 Clubsport I'll not finish the lap  :-[

Another epic race with Eck  8) We swapped lead a couple of times as we both made the odd mistake at the wrong time but it was so close all the way. Don't know how you got the Audi round like that Eck, I had half a lap in it and gave up  :tank:

Mistakes, all be it very minor, decided a sometimes, too tight, race. Absolutely top drawer stuff, from Tudor, meant this was one of the best races, I've ever been involved in. I could learn a thing or three, from you sir (TM).

Even if the outcome had been reversed, I'd be hard pushed to remember any race as good.

Grats all, we never really got very spread out, as TM said post race... "Brill"

Thank you again gents.

Didn't get spaced out..... Well I didn't see you for over half the race :(

How do you guys chat after the finish line? Game takes control and just gives me screens of continue buttons until it moves on to next event once I've crossed the finish line.

I said very spread out, 35 secs from 1st to 4th. I'm sure we've had, way more spread out, 30 min races.

If you're not last, you've still got the option to type "C" (or what ever your chat key is) then your message. But only until the last person, crosses the line.

Ah - Matt was only 7 or 8 secs behind me so I might have not been quick enough. Shame they can't fix these little annoyances.

I usually enjoy the masochism of the ring, so was fun. I was trying to hang on to Pete's tail
for most of the race, but kept making small errors that dropped me back further.

I struggle to understand that there are only 4 people (not counting members who were otherwise engaged)
in the whole of the world who think hurtling round Nurby in DTM92 cars is worth an hour of their time!  :wacko:

It's a challenge to drive such a long lap but I enjoy it. Like you Matt I kept making small mistakes so was racing the clock trying to ensure you didn't get too close. I had my quickest lap time lost for an off track moment although this was probably the only lap I did where I thought I had been clean all the way! Even then it wasn't close to the times Eck and GT were doing. Well done you two.

I did spend a lot of time learning the Ring back in the GPL days and that stands one in a pretty good position for these newer games. If you don't know it then it is a daunting proposition to learn it from scratch.

Keep them coming Matt :)

I would not normally run a Gr5 event at the ring, but for these mid powered cars I think it's a blast.
I would like to run an NSU event at Macau but will probably get flamed if I do, though I am convinced
it would be an absolute hoot  ;D

Go for it Matt, but I'll take a raincheck

I'll race the NSUs anywhere if I'm around, still don't think I've ever done an event at Macau. My Racing Profile backs that theory up!

I love it, some hate it, bit like the ring I guess, except it's a tight street track of course....

I like Macau but I don't think I've ever managed to get any car around that hairpin without doing a 3 point turn....no exaggeration. Sorry but I just can't race there  :(

Had a few laps in the NSU around Macau and got around the hairpin about 75% of the time but it really is more a matter of luck than judgement as my close cockpit view can't spot the apex or the exit until it's too late. Used one of the fast guys on the leaderboard to show me the way with surprising results  :)

My....distain for the Nor..Nu...that track should be obvious. Its too long for me to learn, and end up getting annoyed as it then ends up being about barrier riding until the damage level kicks in.

And yet somehow Macau sounds interesting, as i've yet to buy it or drive it in anything.

Hmm, I see an event hovering to be added here.... ::)
The hairpin that Tudor refers to is "awkward", but if I can get the DTM92 merc round it most of the time
you lot can get the little NSU round it! that one corner defines the required steering angle for the race
unfortunately, you need a lot more angle than normal. It does take some learning though  :o

I shall have to plan an NSU event there a week when I am not away. WOuld be a shame to waste one
of my fave track/car combo

I wonder if mapping the hand brake will help   ;D

 ;D :lol: :lol: :lol:
