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.

Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R;group=580)

just to say i am playing on attending. But with this heat, especially in my flat where its now 26deg and still climbing,  I'll see how i cope.

Not sure what's happening with our Raceroom server but it doesn't seem to want to play  ???......maybe needs updating?

I can't race tonight anyway unfortunately, too hot for me and my puter so if anyone else can get things going?

Does the server use the main game folder? i seem to remember a hotfix patch last week.. i think

Windows did have an update this week, if the server is running Windows ofcourse.


Wasn't that last Friday, we've run since then.

I'm wrong, you are correct, last hotfix was just Friday there.

Sorry, can't make it tonight - cyu at the next one.

Needed a restart for the 15 second update. Have started server with 10 min qual
I am not racing, just got back froma day's racing in extreme heat at Silverstone
Probably too late , but I have started it anyway

With everyone seemingly dropping out I decided at the very last minute to race for some easy points  ::) SRW was the only other car there. However I'd been mucking around with my flight sim before hand and RRE decided that as the XBOX One controller was on it'd change all my controller assignments! I had just enough time to change back to a default profile but that was broken as it expected the pedals as a separate device so although I could steer I had no throttle or, I suspect, brake.

Stupid game, and stupid me.

DO you want me to do results Tudor, or would you rather postpone the event to another time?

Not sure what our regulations say but as drivers were there and the event took place I'd say post the results.

SRW stopped on the main straight when he saw me stuck on the grid, not sure if he completed a lap or not. I didn't. If neither of us did neither of us qualify for points anyway.

Hang on. You can hardly claim the event happened as asdvertised! Both myself and Eck were there ready at 8pm. We didn't drop out, but can hardly wait around hoping so one would fix the server and get it running, on the off chance.

I was under the impression that there had been a race  ??? If not, there should be no results posted.

I'll see if I can reschedule the event for 9th July.

a reschedule sounds good to me, I like Hockenheim (except for the awkward first corner).

This event has now been rescheduled to 9th July.

I can't make this as I'm working in Scarborough this evening. Could someone please take care of server duties?

This is my last event before SRW takes over the reins for our Sunday racing. I'd like to thank him for stepping up and wish him all the best  :thumbup1: As ever, thanks to those behind the scenes that have helped out  :thumbup1:

I'll be having a break for a while as I don't have much playtime currently but I'll be joining the odd event where possible.

I am likely traveling at server start time.
Perhaps Stephen would have a go? He was suggesting some practice  ;D

Unlike the NSUs I hate these things, I'm noncompetitive over a single lap, and then can't make the tyres last, so probably not going to race but if push comes to shove I can start the server at 8. Are you going to give it a go SRW?

Sounds like it might be just me and SRW again ::)

Could be.
I am not a fan of these cars, they seem esy, but I always end up spinning on power
the handling to me is "misleading"

i am up for starting the server on Sunday, sorry for not replying sooner but i have been busy for the last couple of evenings and annoyingly i can no longer access the forum at work because our strict antivirus internet filter blocks the site classing it as 'gaming and gambling'.

PHspok, i will look through the instructions in your e-mail tomorrow,  i would like to do a trial run when no one is on the server.

I can be around Sunday if you need some help, do you have TeamSpeak at all?

I used to use teamspeak in the old days when we raced GTR2, I will fire it up (if I can remember the password).

No one is likely to be doing practice on the server, so fire it up and down whenever you like.
The fields are mostly intuitive, but make sure that the tyre wear/fuel are "normal" unless you
want higher. Make sure that the qual time window does not have a rotating tyre or you will
get ai driving your car when you go to qual at first. Be aware, that the practice clock doesn't
actually start until someone joins. (or gets restarted)

With Dieter and Picnic not too far behind had to concentrate for the whole race. Though shame that as Dieter came closer i seemed to end up making a mistake, but then he did as well and dropped back further.

Well done all for turning up.

Tried a few different setup stles, settled on running low springs, with low bump but a high rebound. I've enjoyed running these cars, requires a bit more concentration shame others didnt.

Noticed the calendar says theres one more race left, Bathurst 20th Aug.

As usual I struggled. To start with I couldn't negotiate the hairpin as I hadn't got enough steering lock! Never had that problem in RRE before but, thanks to Spanner's help, got that sorted so qually was my practice. As soon as the race started I realised my top gear wasn't long enough, not that in the end it would have made any difference. As with always in these cars I suffered badly with tyre wear. Front left was yellow at about half way and angry and flashing at me at the end of the race. Apart from the 1st lap on cold tyres I hadn't got the pace of the front 2 and it was essentially a lonely race.

Low turn-out, but again a good race for me except for a couple of schoolboy errors..

Schoolboy error no. 1: Could have sworn it was a rolling start in these cars, so I was a little confused when everyone shot off the line..!
Schoolboy error no. 2: Just as I closed right up on Mark near the end, I engaged DRS a little too soon out of a corner, lost rear downforce and hit the wall  ::) Oops..

Fun though. Congrats Mark, thanks all.

I enjoyed the race although I was way behind everybody else, with only about 20 mins practice I spent the first part of the race getting up to speed (which included an off due to a missed braking point).

@Goldtop Thanks for organising these R3E races for the past year and a half, I have enjoyed the mix of cars you have used (although the jury is still out on the formula juniors). Hope you will find some spare time to get behind the wheel at some of my races and not do a H@L and disappear completely  ;)
