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 the relevant Tracks 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.

Ahem calling notice reads Nurburgring but track says Suzuka (GP)? ??? ::)

Thanks Bill
Must sack this admin  ::)

It's donations time again folk's. Comes around quick doesn't it.

Please donate whatever you can afford to keep this site up and running.

Which layout are we using Matt?

Welllllll, I thought this was Nordschleife, but maybe not, Let me put my sane head on when I get home later....

Yes, but aren't there different layouts of Nords? But then track says Nurburgring GP!

Only because that's what I set it to..... I am sure I was intending to make it Nordschliefe
So unless anyone has any serious objections, that's what it will be.
(ducks incoming hate mail)

This will be the Green Hell
 :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil:

I hate you  ;D

I'm always up for the challenge that is the Green Hell just not sure I'll have my pedals fixed by then  :'(

Thanks a bunch! Done all my practice on the Nurburgring GP. ??? ::) :'(

Sorry Bill, I think something went wrong, and I just put Nurburgring GP
It was always Green Hell in my head...

Oh well thats me out of thursday. Nurburgring GP is my favorite track as well

I'll try to be on time for the start of the qualif. Probably Riccardo and Gavino should be there too. Let's see ::)

See you tomorrow

Good news Matteo  :thumbup1: With such a long track, it helps if there are more people.
I have made Practice 5 mins shorter, and Qual 5 mins longer than usual
We can start the whole event a few minutes later if it allows more people to join.
It doesn't have to be exactly 20:30 start.

Wouldn't want to miss Nords but again not sure if I will have time. Will try to be there though.

Good fun race, but far too many mistakes. Good battling with Pete & Frex, all of us making mistakes & letting the others past but pretty intense. Sorry to Matteo on the first lap, got my foot half on the brake & half on the clutch & could not stop quick enough. :o

Congrats to Riccardo, Matteo & Pete on the podium. :clap: :clap: :clap:

And congrats to John for winning the championship.  :notworthy:

Don't think I made any serious mistakes, but I did give you a tow along the straights and then let you by again at the end of them a couple of times! But yes, great fun.

I was happy to sit behind and watch the action most of the time, until on the last lap both Pete and Geoff had moments which allowed me through. However, some weirdness then kicked in with Pete suddenly warping back ahead of me, and then my screen went black and the Oculus home splash screen came up.. Never had that happen before. Had to pull over, and hope I did not cause a problem for Pete and Geoff.

Congrats podium, and John for the championship.

Ah that's what happened. I knew I had made a mistake but you came passed at such a rate of knots I was surprised at the speed difference. Then after getting in front you vanished, then reappeared in my re-view mirror before vanishing again. I hoped there hadn't been any warp contact for you that ended your race. Sorry to hear of the Rift issue, can't say it's one I've ever seen.

Great fun battling with yourself, Geoff and Eck last night. Shame Eck didn't have enough fuel and had to pit at the end of lap 4.

Sorry Frex, when your car appeared to vault over the barrier & land beside the track when I was passing I assumed you had had a big 'off', didn't realise it was a technical issue. Gave me a bit of a shock though.  :o

Thanks Matt for organising the Series and congratulations to the Series top three. Had problems with Steam updating again and our server not responding again, always seems to be a race night problem with the server, when everything one else is using it.

Still managed to get in the swing again during the race with number of faster laps than my online practice over previous days!

No, nothing like that - if I hadn't got the blank screen I would have carried on fine.


Oh wow, nothing like that happens on my replay, sorry for that!

I'm so stupid.. I picked the car, 'cause I had a setup and knew it worked. After a couple o' practice laps, I had a real brainfart. "The race is three laps, why do I have so much fuel?"... :-[

On the fourth lap, I had weirdness happen as well. It jumped back to windows (I have to apologise to Geoff (sorry sir) n Pete who were both close behind) and a steam message saying it couldn't connect with the friends network. Good, I'm fechin racing, was my immediate thought. Closely followed by, I never fechin talk to them anyway. Now, in my panic I obviously clicked retry... Almost as soon as I got going again, the same message popped up and I was back to windows. I clicked the right thing that time, returned to my in lap and eventually, an all too brief encounter (Can I help?...) with Matt.

Grats to the podium guys, a different class.

I also had back to windows moment with RRE icon on ribbon at bottom luckily I was in slow part of track and just ran off onto the grass without any damage!  ::)

No computer issues I can blame for my pace, I was going to use the Volvo, and probably should have stayed with it
but the little beemer is much easier here, so went with that. I have a vague memory of wondering why I was suddenly in front
of Eck, but saw nothing weird (except being in front of Eck)
