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.

Can't do this one unfortunately as I'll be working for this and other Thursdays until the middle of Feb. Have fun.

Sigh, was turning out to be a fabulous race.
Had a misunderstanding with Bill when I was trying to lap him, dropping me back
from Pete, and putting me in range of Tudor, then had some excellent tussles
finally Tudor got past, but I think his tyres were worse than mine, as I was
able to stay with him, and challenge for a pass maybe, when I ran out of fuel  :taz:
and I had put in more than I calulated  ???
Ah well good while it lasted, sorry for the shove Bill I assumed you would make room
for lapping cars in full battle mode  :fencing:

Wondered what happened Matt, guessed it was either fuel or maybe puncture as mine were showing a bit of wear too. Good fun while it lasted, grats to Pete for an impressive win  8)

Had a reprieve to race this evening as rehearsals finished earlier than expected but I'll now be working for the next few weeks now.....have fun  :)

Usually RRE gives you way to much fuel for a given number of laps. I reckoned on 30 laps and started with 18L. With 1.5 laps to go the gauge said 0L left, I was a little worried. Spanner had pointed out on TeamSpeak that the fuel looked marginal so I was happy I'd got a 5 or 6 sec lead that I could try to maintain by using a higher gear or short shifting. Probably just as well as tyre wear was noticeable too. Front left turned yellow not long after half distance quickly followed by the rear left.

Times we very tight at times with only a few ms separating us. I think you guys battling gave me the opportunity to get that lead.

I was screaming it in 1st quite a lot, that may explain the fuel consumption..

Just had a look at last night's race and I think you only lapped me once and I moved left onto the grass to let you through and I didn't think I'd impeded you. Sorry for any misunderstandings but I try my best to keep out of other drivers way.

Haven't looked at the replay, was just an awkward place to try to pass, was not really a complaint
just an observation.
