As I am stuck down in London again, I won't be able to join tonight, please can someone join at 19:45 to
start the clock running, if people have joined earlier, then someone needs to restart the server, or the race
will be early.
I can probably log in long enough to restart the server if required, but I can't join the race.

Ta
Matt.

It claims it's running. I will restart it at 19:45 anyway to save duplication of effort

Server updated and I can see it now. Don't forget to mark it as a favourite so it appears at the top of the list until the next game update.

When you've found it, click on it. On the right hand side it shows the server and event details and there is a button that says "Add to Favourites". Just click that.

I enjoyed that, should have driven a Gr. 5 car all season. Those Mustangs, just get me every time.

Anyhoo, grats to Ricardo (for both race and championship (I think.. )), Dieter and all. Thank you to SROUK/all involved in presenting the races.

Thanks Matt for organising this Series, a pity work keeps getting in the way of your attendance. A good evening’s racing with new PBs in qualifying and race.  ;D

Enjoyed that! Got lucky on the first lap when Pete was baulked by Geoffers, and got past them both before Eau Rouge. That gave me a good run down the straight and just about stayed ahead on the first lap. Surprised to stay in touch with the leaders as they battled amongst themselves, and then Eck made it interesting at the end by getting (I assume) a slowdown penalty (I hate those things..).

Congrats Riccardo and Eck, and Riccardo for the Championship!

That is what ended my race  >:(.  Got one on about the 5th or 6th lap, but yesterday's update changed the system, you now have 60s (I think?) to slowdown when you want rather than an automatic slowdown. Trouble was I didn't notice it until it was too late, I had to give 14s (?) back but only had 7s left to do it!  ::). Pulled over thinking I would be DQed but got a drive through, had enough by then so gave up. Still not too happy in these cars, can put in the odd quick lap, but still very inconsistent & mistake prone & have yet to master getting them off the line.

Anyway congrats to the podium & Riccardo on winning the championship. :clap: :thumbup2:

I did indeed receive a slow down and yes, Wednesdays update made some new rules. Unfortunately its all messed up, the penalties bare no resemblance to the time you need to give up  ???. Having seen Geoff's drive through penalty (yep, the game reported your flagrant disregard to everyone else  :P), I didn't want to suffer that wrath. But, instead of giving up my fractions of a second, I had to give up 3-4 seconds. real pita
