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.

4 Series one per week:

E4bNSU = NSU
E4bDTM = DTM92
E4bGT5M1 = GTO/GR5/Procar (alternate)
E4bT  =   Touring Classics

Repeat
.
.
.
Can do Gr5 only if that's what people want. I just wanted to give some extra variety
and I like all 3 groups.

Well I enjoyed it..

Although again a very low turnout, and one of us quit even before qually end, so numbers are very low right now unfortunately.

Still had some fun following GT around - I like the challenge of these cars, but I can see how others would not. Congrats GT.

Yeah, well i didnt. Maybe i would have persevered if i had 30min practise available but withought knowing if it would come up i started playing project CARS. Came back with 5mins of practise left. These cars just seem to have too much power, couldnt drive it so gave up.

Didn't have much time to prepare either so took what I think is the easiest car in the group (Mustang). The GTO cars look great on track and I enjoy the raw power but for me the ffb info is just too vague and trying to race them becomes a chore. I almost gave up half way when I was in the lead!

I think the Group 5 cars are much better done and at least offer a bit more choice for us. The only problem being the Fabcar (my favourite) and possibly the Capri seem a bit quicker than the rest of the Gr5 field.
