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.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: Note early race start.

Guy's, just had word from Roger (Roguk). He's had a little bit of an illness but he is now on the mend and hopes to be back racing with us, sometime in the future.

Get well soon Rog, look forward to seeing you back racing.  :thumbup1:

IMPORTANT

Some cars will slide a bit on this track whilst waiting on the grid for the start lights. At the green light pull away slowly and there will be no overtaking until past the start/finish line please.

We've had stories of cats on the keyboard, now mine! There was a loud thud sound and my wife called up to me. I tried to see what it was and my earphones fell off dragging my glasses with it onto the floor and I had to stop. By the time I'd recovered them plus my WiFi mouse which fell in the first place, I decided to quit.  :laugh:

Just managed a pole lap, think it was the only full lap with Tony's woes, changed skin to one that
looks black to me from a light green one, and he was able to get in.

Managed to not fall off, though I went wobbly once and was heading for the grass, when
Kurt announced a "LOL" just as I was in the braking zone, braking with that Beemer is a masochists tango to me  :o
Managed to keep Ziu at arms length despite him peddling the big Vauxhall round unreasonably quickly...

2nd race I was up towards the front, might have beat Clive to the line, as he seemed to have a very cautious start?
after T1 I saw him behind Fulvio I think. After qual, while checking fuel, I noticed a tyre choice.
I should know better than to change anything just before the start, but I swapped to the other tyres
as they "sounded" faster, oh no, oh dear me no! the car was undrivable, spun off on corner entry
on every lap, twice on one lap I think. I was now miles behind, and the car was no fun, so quit.

Sorry for the confusion when I was trying to join in qualy. I had loaded everyone but when your name appeared I had screen flash. I was able to see the drivers roster and you were shown as being in an Commode so when you gave out your car # I could not match it to any Commode I had. That's why I asked if you had mistakenly taken a 3000 litre car. When you said Beemer I checked that car # and there was the problem. It was one of the few beemers that I hadn't unlocked from my "garage". Once solved I was in. Anyway sorry to have had such a downer on your qualy session.
Race One for me was a quiet affair. An early mistake left me to far back to challenge any other drivers except for Kurt. So he and I swopped places a few times until I had a spin at turn one and he plowed into me (unavoidable, no blame on you Kurt). Sadly that put payed to Kurt's race as he had to pit to repair damage. I was alone for the remainder of the race.

Glad that I finished this one as I got more and more familiar with car and track  :)
