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=581)

Well that was eventful!
Took forever to learn the combo but managed to put an odd lap in in practise. Plus in qually when it was only Eck telling me it was a lot quicker than before. Hard to judge having lost the lap reference from practise.


These things are pretty gutless yet I still cant get these off the line! watched GT and John flying together at the end of the first lap and seem to have a good race with Carl, though I never did get the chicane consistently right so sorry for that as I think you were making some moves there. Wasn't expecting to hold one but Carl dropped back in the last few laps and had a relaxing last lap to win! ;D

Seemingly at the back for the second race and an equally worse start. Sorry to SRW, I wasn't planning on overtaking into the chicane, it surprised me as well!


Wasn't particularly looking forward to these, but was a lot better than I'd hoped.

Was surprised to grab pole after last time out in these cars and even managed to get off the line nicely. Unfortunately I got on the kerbs coming onto the S/F straight which skewed me one way then back the other and straight into the path of JP causing a big collision :-[ Sorry again for that. After waiting for JP we had a nice battle up past a couple of cars for the rest of the race.

Had a good start in R2 but soon lost a couple of places only to regain 2nd when Carl fell off.

A decent turnout and some excellent racing....well done to all  8)

GT nice pole very quick lap!

what a race just watched the replay WOW that was an accident lucky we didn't have damage on otherwise I think my race was done right there!

No worries GT these things happen and it was fun fighting my way to 4th! second race was fun and a win!

these cars are a hoot to drive and seem to inspire close racing!  :rockon:

JP

I thought I had this track down, and after JP and GT tangled I could manage a gifted gap,  but kerbs beat me up quite a bit.  Should have learned to stay off them in a few corners, went bouncing off and fell back.  Grats Mark for a solid run to the front.  I normally don't enjoy Hungaroring nor these cars but actually did Sunday.  Might have been my wheel settings or some Raceroom handling update but the Formula J felt friendlier.
