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 especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the relevant Track Packs 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.

This is the final race of this series
Picnic is leading, but Riccardo could win, as could Frex and Eck with luck and a following wind...

Still undecided about next series, I like the new 1995 Merc DTM car, so unless someone argues
that will be one series. I would like to keep either DTM92 or Touring Classics alive, and maybe
Gr5, or GTO. I like the BMW M1 procar, but we had a lot of complaints about that last time
I tried to run them. I would like to run a 6 event series of them though.

If I am running a Merc 1995 series, then maybe DTM92 may not work?
A porka series would be good, not sure which variant would work though.

championship uncertain for this very nice, winning it is important but even more important to participate thank you for welcoming me good race at all, dtm 95 very good

Here's a real change, I'll put my vote to the M1. I too like the car...

I don't know enough about any of the other cars, so I'm happy with whatever you guys decide upon.

The DTM 95 car was amazing when i first drove it. almost like a modern DTM, well planted loads of grip.

That sounds like the antithesis to what I like..! But nevertheless, happy to give it a try. I also enjoyed the BMW M1 when we ran it before, so happy with that one too. We've had a lot of Gr5 this season, so maybe not those this time, but not really fussed.

I have tried the DTM1995 Merc at a few tracks, and it is easier to drive at some places than others.
Anything with a brow, like Race Room circuit "bridge" will catch it out. The back end is quite loose
but, it has traction control, so you can dial out some of the power slides well enough.
It handles sort of like one of the Gr5 cars with a bit less power. I like it anyways. Have to choose
the tracks for it carefully, or there will be dissatisfied customers.  :o

Also like the M1 procar. Just the 3rd series to choose. Dtm92 or Gr5?

you are fantastic good organizers, everything you have proposed I like it   ;D

If DTM 1995 Merc is less powerful than Group 5 I shall race in a Series Matt.  8)

This is posted as a general reminder to all drivers and is not directly aimed at anyone in particular in this race or in previous races.

As gentlemen drivers it is an unwritten rule in sim-racing that if you knowingly cause an incident which adversely affects a fellow driver you should allow the victim to regain his place in front off you.

It should also be remembered that our rules do state this "Where a driver believes they are at fault for an incident, they may elect to impose a drive through penalty on themselves by entering the pitlane and driving the full distance down it at the speed limit without stopping at their garage for any work to be performed.
Such a drive through must be performed within a reasonable time after the incident, the rule of thumb being 3 laps.
A self-imposed drive through should be reported to the series moderator along with the incident, and will under most circumstances reduce or eliminate any positional penalty."

Guys.

I am at the mercy of Northern Rail tonight. I will be back for the race unless a train breaks down
but I may not be back in time to restart the server at 19:45
SO.......either can someone join at 19:45, and not before. or.. can someone restart the server at ~19:45
and then join to make sure the practice session clock start for the full 30 mins?

I'll be around so can restart it as required.

I can join in the server at 7.45pm

Is our server running, can't see  it?

I was thrown out of the server, why ??

That was really disappointing Riccardo, we all sat there and you never appeared. Shame it spoilt what could have been an exciting last race.

Mind you if the importer never works again it'll all be academic anyway!

Was having a bit of a mare whenever I got close to Geoff and fell off a couple of times. The first to let Dieter through. He was quicker than everyone else and would have given you a hard time Riccardo. However I think he slowed to let Geoff catch up so he could have some fun. Geoff then drifted wide in the last turn and let me through and after a couple more laps Dieter made a small mistake and I got along side in the tight left hand chicane about 4 corners from the end of the lap. I gave him room through the right hander where I fully expected to be out driven but Dieter very graciously backed out and gave me the corner. He was much quicker than me and deserved the win tonight but I couldn't even give it to him out of the last turn  ::) Nice racing all.

Not sure why you couldn't see the server Bill. Does RRE have filters or levels which means you couldn't see it?

I'm very sorry I could not run even if I had not won I would have been in the game to have fun ... patience

I spent 15 minutes looking for server running up and down the list without success. Normally I have no problem!  :'(

There is a search box to the right of the server list, put org.uk in there and it should appear. Then highlight it and add to favourites. Sadly each RRE update seems to forget your favourites so you have to repeat the process each time. Doing this the server always appears at the top of the list

The importer works fine. I just used the wrong file for Norisring. I will need to delete the Norisring event
and create a new one, then enter the correct file (I think)
There was only one missing file that I know of, and that was the week we changed server.
They should all be on the server itself, and normally it exports the file to my ftp server.

Thanks will try that on Sunday.

Sorry to hear Riccardo got kicked and Bill couldn't get on. There were 6 drivers on when I joined, but somehow that got whittled down to just 3 of us running at the end, which was a shame.

Really enjoyed trying the Fabcar; I'll miss it next season if we don't run it again. Congrats Pete for the Championship!

As soon as I typed in org up came our server. How do I make it a favourite please?

Actually there were very nearly only 2 of you at the end, I was very close to quitting mid-race when I understeered off track 3 times in one lap. I have always struggled before with slick tyred cars in both GTL & P&G with understeer & it seems the same in R3E, it must be the way I set them up. Guess I will get it sorted eventually.

Early laps were fun, but Dieter & Pete were clearly faster, so I let Dieter past & was about to let Pete past when I braked too late at the final RHer & went off.

Congrats to Pete on winning the championship  :clap: & bad luck to Riccardo for getting ejected  >:(

congratulations to Pete for the victory of the championship    :clap:

Well done Pete  :notworthy:
I am not intending to run the FabCar next series, but I expect it will come out of the garage again in the future.  ::)

Congrats Pete on Series Win! ;D

I'm sorry I didn't make it gents. Knowing I'd be out most of the day, I'd done all my prep on Wednesday. I still didn't make it home anywhere near start time.

Nice one Pete, well deserved.
