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.

1st Event of the New BMW M1 Procar series. This will be a 6 event series.
I love these cars, but if you find them a bit sloppy or too loose at the back end
then try this relatively easy drive setup:

One with more turn in, but looser back end:

Add more rear wing if it's still too loose
take off wing, and soften the front if you want, and can cope with more turn in
and front grip.

Lol is that screenshot of your system specs Matt?

Will definately tryout the setup as i have never got on with the M1.

Chortle.. no, dunno what's happened there, the original link is to a you tub video, so I guess the poster has his specs running on screen.

if you feel good in my feet, I also enroll in the next championships

google translator is really a dog, sorry for the inaccuracies

Good to have you here Riccardo. Please bring lots of friends  ;D

I'm in

Manteos, Manteos, whereforever art thou Manteos  ;D
or Chunky, or someone else to worry Gavino  :notworthy:
Ziu? come on in the water's loverly. Actually Ziu has had too much water recently in Cagliari

Ziu? Who's ziu? I'm from Sardinia also!

He races GTL as "Ziu Bacubacu", or is that your other name  ::)
he lives near Cagliari, and is another unreasonably fast Sardinian.

another member of VDA  and italian family  :) will be there.

good Tancioni, we find another and make VDA team 2

Here I am  ;D

I'm racing in an italian champ on AC with the GT3 that is keeping me very busy at the moment, but races are every two weeks so I will join you with pleasure but with a small amount of training whenever I'll have the chance.
I bought a bunch of tracks and cars yesterday evening and I should be able to join this race, even if it will be my first time with this sim, so I won't be surely a worry for Gavino (I guess I won't be a trouble for him even in the future  ::)  :P
There's actually a chance that I could be able to join the race tomorrow at the Nordschleife. I love that track, but is the last race of the championship and I could potentially spoil the fight for the championship, so I'm very dubious at the moment   :angel:

See you soon on track  ;)

Thanks Matteo. come along whenever you can, we like a little variety here  8)
I'm sure Riccardo would be quite happy for Frex to win the championship  ::)

I am working down in London this week, so can't be home to race  :(

sure Matteo come to the Nordschleife with us tonight

Ok, I will join this race. See you later

Just a note for anyone wanting to race these series.
There is no need to register for any series. You need to register with SROUK, and, if it's your 1st ever race here
using Race Room, then I add you to the series when I do the results. Not a problem at all.

It looks like it's donation time again folk's. Comes round quick doesn't it?

But thanks to your previous generosity we don't have to fork out quite so much to achieve our target, although it's nice to have more rather than less  ;)

So please keep giving whatever you can afford and keep this great site alive

Thank you

Weird on line driving and on 2nd lap AI took over and our server appeared to be dumped!! ::) ???

in this championship we will be in 4 of the Virtual drivers alliance  :yes:

Oh goody  ;D Can a non Italian get on the podium..... ::)

Probably not...  :'(

Is the server machine up? can't rdp to it

Its not in the list, atm.

itis now. work has blocked rdp

thank you sir

I apologize to Simpson for the contact on the first lap, I lost the braking and I arrived at locked wheels, my mistake, sorry

Well done Matt on the fastest lap, should have used that short cut every lap  :o

Well these are a lot of arm twirling, I wish I'd got the fan out as I was mighty hot in the Rift again. Well done all, difficult track to start the season off with.

No problem sir. No harm, no foul.

 ;D hehe, I had forgotten it might get the fastest lap.
I decided to get off track and leave, but then thought
what the heck I was so far behind it wouldn't make any difference
keep going. I forgot Bill was behind, so I have made myself last.

Thanks Matt! ::) Sorry for getting in your way when you were about to lap me. I tried to keep to the right but just clipped the tyres and the back came around causing you to collide with me.  :o Chuffed to get new PB lap in the Race.

Well done for hanging on in there Bill. I wasn't chasing points anyway, just meant I got even further behind
so I cheated.
 >:D

Nice to be back racing the Procar and that was a lot of fun! Somehow got to P2 after others fell off, but then rolled it and went back down the field again. Had some good battles with various others, both UK and Italian. Thanks all, congrats podium.

Lack of practice & car setup meant I was always struggling with the M1 around here. Had a couple of off-course excursions early on but eventually got into some sort of rhythm & was keeping pace with Riccardo albeit a couple of seconds behind. Unfortunately had a misunderstanding with Bill when lapping him, went to go one side of him just as he made room for me to pass the other. Avoided running into him but lost control of the car & went off.  ::)  Will need to get a bit more practice in with the M1 before the next race.

Congrats to the podium.  :clap: :clap: :clap:

These are good fun for me. They have odd handling, in that the front is not too bad, a little understeery perhaps
but the back feels like it's on worn cross plies  :o I find stiffening the rear in particular helps make it
more like a proper race car, and makes the slideyness (is that a word?) more manageable.

As usual the only "practice" I get is when I choose the events, so I was way off the pace.

LOL - I never practice until I get on the server on race night, I also suck at setup so essentially ran with the default setup last night. The car was a but understeery but manageable once I'd worked out where to be more careful.

Sorry, despite trying your setup out Matt the handling is a bit too random for my liking with just oo much understeer so will probably avoid these races.

Sorry about misunderstanding, I drive with one eye in mirror and invariably try to move off the racing line.

No worries Bill, I know you are usually very good making room, more my fault on this occasion, its always the car behind's responsibility to make a clean overtake.  :thumbup1:

PS:Blimey Bill you were up early this morning!  :o

 Both wife and I got up early when we worked and the old body clock hasn’t reset. So one of us is up and makes a nice mug of tea to have in bed, then we turn our iPads (other Pads are available  ;)) to see what has happened during the night!
