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.

If you can't make a setup what chance do I have!

Umm, well here's a couple of easy listening, and slightly noisier setups I put together
which might be helpful. These things understeer like an oil tanker, so trying to
get rid of it usually results in an undrivable car (for me anyways)

B1 is fastest for me. B2 is very loose, but potentially fastest. this one - B3 is more "natural"
or normal feel, though it understeers more.

Hmm, not sure what happened there  ??? I got a black screen, CTD, then lost the mouse, couldn't do anything
Dieter (who was much faster) dropped back suddenly, then everything went black.
If Dieter finishes, and it produces a results file I will enter it.

From my viewpoint you just suddenly disappeared without warning Matt. And yes, I was having too much fun driving and did carry on to the end on my own (I know - sad..). I wouldn't bother doing any results with just me as the only finisher though, I'm not fussed about any points.

Battling in the first part of the race was good fun; I guess you and Mark disco'd - unlucky.

Apologies for not making it - I found I hadn't got the track and trying to workout the cheapest way to buy it meant I ran out of time. I really hate this aspect of RRE, it reminds me of buying railway tickets. No matter what price you pay you'll always think you could get it cheaper with a little bit more effort. For some strange reason this sort of thing really winds me up  :-[
