(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.

Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

Finale of this series at the Green Hell  :devil:

Quite easy really. Follow the grey part, and stay off the green part.
Doesn't everyone know Nurby? even if people are not a fan, most people at least
have an idea what's coming next.  ::)

A Project we were involved with last summer has come to fruition resulting in us spending Thursday night in Cornwall! (Just as I was beginning to throw my DTM Beemer about and still staying on the black stuff.  ::))

Here I am, down in the Smoke again..... I think I have configured the server, my Premier Inn wifi is
slow or I can't get on at all. Please could some kind soul join at 19:45 to start the clock?
I will restart the server at 19:44 one way or another. I can tether my phone to the lapdog if I have to.

Well.. that looked like a close race for this place  :o Congratulations to Riccardo for the win, and with that he takes
the Championship  :notworthy: Thanks to everyone who came out to play  :2guns:
I will be there next week for the start of the new Procar championship, so hopefully will see
you all there.

Made a good start and got up to Riccardo on the first lap, but thereafter a poor race from me - made too many mistakes, and hit too many kerbs, gradually dropping back down the field again. Still enjoyed it immensely however..

Congrats Riccardo!

I know people who still win hillclimbs with them, a bunch of my friends went to do the FIA masters event
at Gubbio (Italy) a few weeks ago. One of them was running a road going 205GTi

I have a well modified 106 S1 Rallye myself.

First time on the RRE version of Nordschleife, some subtle differences from the GTL versions, some bits faster & some slower. Took a few laps practice to adjust & still have one or two sections where there is still room for improvement, but on the whole quite happy with my 7.10 laptimes.

Race was good fun although I was a sitting duck on the fast sections unless I had opened up a big enough gap through the twisty bits. Had the potential to catch the Opel's of Riccardo & Manteos, but every time I got within 3-4s of them I made a silly mistake & lost it all again & eventually got caught by Eck & Pete. Eck got by me twice before losing control at the approach to the Karussell & on the final lap a couple of small mistakes allowed Pete to get close enough to waft past along the Dottinger Hohe, so I had to settle for 5th.

Congrats to the Italian contingent on the podium  :clap: :clap: :clap: & congrats to Riccardo on winning the championship. :notworthy:

I notice the Italians all went for the Opel. I like that one, is relatively easy to drive.
Shame I missed this one, I enjoy the masochism of the Ring, requires some discipline
to do more than one lap  ;D

I know now, why I beat the Mustang drivers round the 'Schleife in the past. Its a dog, in the second half of the race. I didn't help myself, taking too little fuel, again. Still, great race with Pete (mostly) and Geoff, I got in the way in the twisties (again, especially in the second half) and out dragged them in the fastest bits. Wasn't even close, to the Italian crew (all of whom, joined us on TS. Again gents, great to hear you, as well as race with you).

Grats, yet again, to Ricardo. Another trophy for the (virtual) mantel'.

And thanks again, to SROUK for another great championship.
