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.

Only Bill and Geoff turned up  :( too much time gap between us, so I did a couple of laps to make sure people got the points
then left. I know it's summer, but really?

I am away for the next two weeks in Cornwall, I will try to get a connection to set the server.

Yes, despite these being the most popular cars in the vote, it seems that few people are interested in racing them, which is a shame because they seem quite easy to drive & would probably produce some good racing. I guess most people think they are slow & boring  :(.

Anyway with Matt leaving early & Bill killing his car, after only 3 laps I was on my own again. Still had fun hot-lapping for another 15 laps.

Don't know if any of you have tried any of the Raceroom competitions. After the race last night I had a go at the Cupra TCR one, completed around half a dozen laps (plus a few abortive attempts) around Nurburgring GP. Best time was 2.09.1 & 697th on the leaderboard & 5 whole seconds slower than the best time  :o. Don't  think there is much chance of making the top 25 multiplayer race. :D

I would have probably made this one but I don't own the KTM. I've tried it a couple of times in the test drive feature but didn't do anything for me so didn't buy it, partly because I'm saving my VRP for future releases and partly because I can't always predict when I'm around to race.

I know the KTM won the vote but the other GTR4 cars seemed near enough on par with the in previous races so seems strange to limit to a spec series. Just my opinion  :-*
