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.

who's racing on Thursday night? hopefully we will get a half decent grid for this months WTCC race ;)

I should be there, It is to be two 20min races with reverse grid (if I set it properly)  ::)
They still feel like the rears are on cross plies, but are much better here than at Indy

I Hope to join, work is heavy this week playing catch up from others taking long easter weekend, but my standing thursday lunch leave should continue unnoticed. :whistling:

I should be racing too

Me too

R3E is going to update today, adding the McLaren 650s GT3 car... probably some updates too... more work for Matt...  ::)

Ooooh eh, "our servers have been brought down for maintenance"  :o

A new car is released and the usual bumfight ensues  ::)

I've updated our server and managed to join eventually, but we'll need an awful lot of patience if we're going to have a race tonight as everything is sooooooooosloooooooooooow. Just make sure you allow plenty of time for the update (only 160ish MB) and to start/join the game.

Got the update, seems like R3E aerver is down again though.


Yes, forum confirms it. Down for emergency maintenance....

https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/maintenance.7817/

I'm seeing the same server down for maintenance :'(

Yep, technical problems and emergency maintenance underway....

https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/maintenance.7817/

Think I'll put the kettle on  ::)

I think you mean bunfight?...  :-\

Been down for a while. I will give it until 20:15 then we can go straight into qual
Otherwise the race is postponed.

Seeing that it's up, anyone else confirm. I'm on game is working for now....

Bum as in posterior  :)  As in everyone tries to get their bum on a seat eg. an oversold airline, or in this case the seat of the 650s  :laugh:

yep, 9 mins to go till quali.....get yer bum in man!

Dam fine race  ;D
had a good time trying to keep Stephen behind, and pulled it off.. just  8)

Glad they sorted their servers out - two cracking races. Thanks all  ;D

Woo woo, fun one, I had loaded my last decent handling setup from indy but forgot about the long gearing, changed that race 2 and really helped.  As always some of the most enjoyable and proper racing with you gents, and hope we can keep Thursdays going. ;D

Excellent close racing again and lots of action especially in race 2. Didn't have any prep time for this and forgot about being able to change gear ratios in these cars which made me a bit slow in a couple of critical areas....chicane especially. I'll miss the next round of these as I'm in Yeovil.

I am not looking to give up Thursdays, just I am wondering if R3E has enough following to be the most appropriate SIM
I chose this as a follow on from P&G as I felt it was more suitable for League racing than other comparable SIMs

I like AC, and Pcars is good, but they don't have the nicely pre grouped cars that this has.
This has a few limiting features like no in game chat, AC looks a bit "soft focus" to me, and some of the cars handle terribly
some are really nice to drive, as are some of the cars in R3E (IMHO)

But AC gets relatively large grids, and has a good following.
I am wondering if there would be interest in running "Classic" events using AC instead of R3E on Thursdays?

The main thing that puts me off AC is the lack of car groups. Even when cars can be loosely matched by era there is too much variation in performance between them. You would be lucky to find 2 or 3 cars from the same era that have equal performance and even then that would be track dependent. Eg Group C, classic DTM/touring, classic F1, classic GT/sports. I mean what are we supposed to race against the 935?  ::)

Another thing is that for me many of the cars just feel outright strange Eg Porsche 908, Alfa GTA, M3 in fact now I think of it, most of them!

I can't understand the lack of support for Raceroom  ??? OK it might not have the depth and some of the features of AC or even PnG (setups) but it's a great package and most importantly....never fails to produce excellent racing.

My racing is more limited these days but I'll try to support whatever the sim.

I concur about AC, it is good, but the reason I didn't go for it originally was the lack of
well matched cars. If I was to use AC it would be mostly spec races.
That's fine to some extent - MX5 series for e.g But I prefer some groupings.
AT the moment I am running the Xbow and NSU spec races. The NSU seems well liked
not sure abou the Xbow? I have tried all the classic groups in R3E and some don't like
the more powerfull ones. I may re introduce the Gr5 and GTO cars.
