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.

Noticed the list of series at the top are getting out of hand, why don't we just go to 5 rather than 4b? Is it supposed to mean something?

Good race again. Shame Pete went off, but this time many close and side by side moments with Mark. Not sure why you flashed me at one point - trying to intimidate me, or did I do something wrong?!  :angel:

Good fun, thanks all.

Don't know why but the braking point, for me, in to right hander after the back straight seemed to change significantly between qual and the race. I was lucky not to take Spanner out when I span. Had fun chasing down Matt again, repeat of last week, but unlike last week once I managed to get passed I managed to stay there. You guys must have been slowing each other down quite a bit as I reduced what was a 12 sec + gap down to around 3 at the end.

These older DTM cars are so much kinder on their tyres, last week I was on the canvas where as last night only my front left went yellow and that was on the penultimate lap.

Enjoyed last night's race even though I, as usual, off the pace. Learnt a lot about this track and found I was using one gear higher in a number of corners. Made too many unforced errors when I tried braking later or taking a different line into the corner.  ;D  :rockon:

Argh, was distracted by Frex going wide on the exit of turn 1 think on last lap, trying to work out how much avoidance i needed to do but wasnt paying attention to my car as the back end carried round and almost hit the inside armco. Was havig a good race till then trying to hold him off. Dont think i've driven that car but it was bloody quick down the straights but i seemed so much quicker in the faster corners yet would be chased down by the end of the next stragiht!
