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.

For a race with only 3 starters that was fun. Thanks Pete and Bill; not sure what happened to Spanner?

I'm glad your qualifying didn't go to plan and you got a slow start ;) those few seconds grace made it the race it was. I was never as quick you and would have watched you slowly drive off in to the sunset if you'd been in front at the start. Really struggled here with the car, couldn't get it turned in and if I tried to use the throttle it would understeer as often as it would do the opposite. Frustrating as I never knew which I was to get. These aren't the most engaging cars to drive in RRE, I don't think that's helping with the turn outs.

I gave up. I've never come across such a hateful car. Suspension so soft that the car bounces around the slow corners and the inside wheel skids throught as evident by the purple lights on the dash. The front is none existant that i'm understeering off throught turn 2. And every time i try and brake the wheels lockup, despite running 80% strength in car setup, and reduced the brake sensitivty in the main controller setup. I'd just had enough of such a horrible car.
