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.

Well thats an interesting track, very narrow but good fun. Clearly wasnt a power track.

Tough to get a quick lap with the  really tight section in the first sector and never felt i got the line right in the final corners!

Really enjoyed that, good race with Matt. Think we both fell off a few times swapping the lead but seemed easier to chase the leader. Pushing too hard around the track just didnt gain any time.

Me and Pete kept saying the track would be good for NSU's

We have used it for NSU I thought, but it seems not.... it is a good one for them, and will run there.
I want to run Silverstone stowe NSU event, we've never run there and should be good for the little fellows.

Chuffed I managed in qualifying to get the line and rhythm of the series turns and knocked about 6 seconds of my Tuesday offline practice time. No more offline practice as I took advantage of the weather and prepared our garden shed for winter.

Race went well until I discoed and spent a while trying to get tyres clean again. Then I managed to sort myself out and apart from a few minor offs completed the race OK. Enjoyed it!  ;D

Well done Bill. I had a great time with Mark swapping places. Shame Pete fell back
I tried the big Vauxhall, but couldn't cope with it round here.

I managed a 'perfect' lap in qually that sort of flattered me. I was generally quite well off that pace and it showed in the race. I couldn't keep up and with pushing too hard I also had some offs. Then really lost concentration as I was so far back and with no hope of rejoining the fun I just drove the the end. That though resulted in lack of concentration mistakes and I dropped even further back  :-[
