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 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.

I am currently setting up the server so it should not be obvious which group will start in front.
As in, I put a different group in higher in the list for each event. (if I remember what I did last time...)
Not sure if it makes any difference, but I prefer some randomisation rather than knowing which group
to take a car from.

I have considered random grid, but I can't see anyway to do it easily.

These two classes are not affected by separation, its only the GTO/Gr. 5 races that get befuddled... or not... lol.

That was... well, not good?.

It started great, I was somewhere near, for a few laps. Then, John turned it on and I failed to. Then, I span and it all went to poo. I even ran out of fuel...  ::)

Grats John, Dieter, Riccardo and all.

Congratulations to podium drivers. I had a terrible night on a track I know with my favourite car. In all my week's practice laps I have never wrecked my car but last night I did on the first lap.  ::)  :'(

Fun race, and super battle with Riccardo for much of it - molte grazie! Spins from Eck and Pete lucked me onto the podium, but sorry to see Pete go off at the hairpin when close behind me - sorry if I braked a bit earlier there than you were expecting.

Congrats John.

Never got enough practice time in last night, an Oculus or Windows update meant the sound for the game was coming out of both the headset and my speaker. After messing with that I lost at least 15 mins of valuable practice time and it wasn't until later in the race I got braking for the hairpin to be more consistent. My fault Dieter and I bailed before taking you out. I spun again later on so it didn't really make much difference.

Fastest laptimes show that, without mistakes, that could have been an epic 5 way battle. Although I suspect John was taking it easy as he was so dominant in qually.
