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.

Tried these out for the first time & they are quite good fun, handle well & fairly easy to drive. But, I am a bit confused by the traction control settings. On the GT3 cars we have been using the default TC percentages go from low at setting 1 upto high at setting 6, with these cars it is the other way around. I may be a bit dim & missing the obvious, but can someone explain how these settings work & what the six settings refer to.  ???

I like these machines but they are not as easy as it seems, very light behind, they are not balanced with weights, the traction control can set it from 1 to 6 as high as the GT, it is important to keep it so as not to lose the rear then you can also modify it race if you set the relative buttons, hello

The TC settings for these cars seems to have been configured upside down.
For my setups I have set it the "normal" way. 1 = 20%, 2 = 33% etc etc

I did try reversing it, but it seemed to make the car more difficult to drive so reverted back to default. Regarding the percentages, does 20% give more TC than say 50% or the other way round? Also do the 6 TC settings refer to how much TC you are getting in each gear?

I obviously inverted them too, though I don't remember doing it... ::)

You can choose the level of tc during the race, just assign the appropriate control (mind full of useless information, seems shut down atm). You can turn it up or down (down or up, in the original layout) to select them. It has nothing to do with gear selection.

Ah, ok I understand now, thanks Eck, but which gives more TC 20% or 80%?

Its more of an assist if anything, the higher the percentage the the more throttle cut/ assist it will give you.

Here's one of my setups:

As mentioned the higher the percentage the more TC you get.

Actually, they were yours  ;D
Good race, thanks to all who turned up  :thumbup1:

The results will be late, as I forgot to ask to have this car added to our known cars...  ::)

Lets do that again... wow they're good.

Start was great, then I proceeded to give places away. Great race with Geoff, which ended abruptly (wasn't sure if I'd disconnected). With no one to race against, I got cocky (a couple of spins/crashes later), thought its just as well I was alone. Thankfully, I pulled it together again to finish second. I wasn't gonna trouble Signor Bonni in the lead though, congratulations sir.

Grats to Riccardo, and everyone else who made it to the end.

difficult race, difficult cars, great start of Simpson, then nice race in 3 for 15 minutes then tire problems and many small errors, at the end very good third

Results done. Thanks Dave for the prompt support  8)

For the GT3 Zandy event, good news is I have the correct results file...
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/phspok1/201810070931.xml (https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/phspok1/201810070931.xml)
bad news is. I can't delete the event to create a new one  ???
And, I can't move the places around because there are only two entries...

I have managed, through ignorance, to delete the event page, but not the event
Any ideas?

Great fun race, these cars are really enjoyable to race but can bite if you get too excited.

So much happened it is difficult to remember it all, had some good fun early on with Eck & Riccardo until Riccardo & I both went off at Tarzan, no contact just entirely separate errors. Later rear-ended Riccardo at the hairpin involving Manteos as well, sorry guys could not get it stopped!   :surrender:

Good last few laps with Riccardo, Manteos & Mark, good fun.

Congrats to Massimo, Eck & Riccardo.  :clap: :clap: :clap:
