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.

Thanks Tudor, this has to be the worst Premier Inn wifi I have had, just spent at least 10 mins watching it draw
the RDP screen one pixel at a time. I give up. I will try to do the results later.

Sorry, only just got my tea at 7:30, the sofa was calling to me after coming back from swimming, and really, i dont like these cars as the volvo ends up being the only one thats driveable.

I out smarted myself as the time ran out... ::)

You were right Pete, absolutely brilliant race. Grats Tudor, Pete and Dieter

I didn't get to lead a lap, I did harass Tudor all the way round the first one though. Then just had to wait for (what, I thought would be) the Volvo's. Only Pete turned up and after he out run me, to the top of the hill, I was just following the large Volvo rear. The little Beemer held onto its tyres better and that decided the race.

Changing to the car I hate the most, allowed me to have an epic. Thanks Pete et all

Always nice to grab some points but I missed the close racing this evening. Saw Eck jump out and grab the E30 and should have traded in the silly quick datsun for something more fun giving. At least it looked like a good close race behind  8)

After last night's feeble efforts I was really not interested in tonight's event but in the end decided to give it a go. With GT and Eck in the Nissan to start with it looked really lonely as they were 2 secs or more a lap quicker. Dieter turning up in the Volvo meant I might have someone to race but he out qualified me by almost half a second. I got my usual blistering start (yes Eck all my fault this time) and was last in to the 1st corner. Dieter seemed to be slow out and left me chasing Eck and GT.

Caught Eck and the grunt of the Volvo allowed me passed, although I suspect Eck was being kind as we went side-by-side for at least 3 corners. And these were the corners were Eck was so much quicker than me. The half second I could gain on the straights went in 2 corners in the twisties. Spanner then came on TeamSpeak and I let Eck passed while chatting to him ;)

Enjoyed the racing Eck, thanks a bunch for switching cars especially to one with very different characteristics but similar pace  :laugh:

Shame Dieter seemed to lose pace from qually to the race  :'(

Just realised while trying to set practice for 25 minutes to account for the late server start, I managed to shorten the race instead  ::)

Sorry folks  :-[

Actually my race pace was similar to my qually laps, I think it was more that you two got quicker..!

Strangely I could not change down properly into T1, and so exited the corner in 4th gear - hence why I was so slow down the straight. It was fine after that, but by then I was a couple of seconds behind and losing more time each lap. Maybe you were getting a tow off eachother that I was too far away to benefit from? If not, I dunno.. Anyway, I spent the race looking on enviously at the close battle you were having - looked like fun!

Congrats podium.
