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 the relevant Tracks for this series
(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.

The server is set for Zolder, ready for practice for Sundays race, the final of the Silhouette series. Picnic is leading the series, but Spanner could still snatch it away at the last minute!

Seems my braking points were later than everyone elses  :death:
Would have been fun if I hadn't have rammed Stephen, and then had to monstrer the kerbs to try
to get some fun back, then let Spanner past to see if he could catch SRW only to ram him in
the last turn. Bah.

Appologies to all, I shall put some green stuff in the brakes so I can't stop as fast.

i enjoyed that, a win on genuine pace rather than just being last man standing! I was using the default setup as usual, after getting a good getaway I was waiting for everyone to reel me in but it didn't happen and I managed to maintain the gap, had a bit of a scare with 4 mins to go when the screen froze for about 5 seconds, but when the game started again I was still on the tarmac so carried on.

Congrats to Spanner on the series win.

Next Sunday is a special AC event LMP1's at Daytona, then some fun races to start off 2018 before the next AC & R3E bi-weekly alternating series begin. I was thinking of using either GT3, Silhouettes or WTCC for the next R3E series, will decide after we have done some fun events

Not sure what happened but that first lap was shocking!  I braked too hard for the corner on to the back straight and understeered too much meaning I think both of you came past. then exit of final chicane I spun and hit the barriers picking up damage to both body and transmission. so starting from the back I just tried to keep the laps going mindful of the 10secs to SRW.

enjoyed the chase of matt and was most annoyed when he quit. You could have just carried on? Doing plenty of random online races you learn to just pick yourself up and carry on!


Watching both of you before the race, you were braking quite hard into the chicane rather than trying to carry speed, but didn't think you were too bad when following you Matt.

I quit in disgust, that I had rear ended two people when I felt I was braking normally
