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.

I have deleted all the remaining KTM events, due to lack of interest.
I have started the Zakspeed Capri series that I wanted to do in the 1st place  ;D
There are only 2 in the list at the moment, I will create the other 4 events next week.
Off to Shelsley Walsh today for this weekend's hillclimbs

Gonna have to miss this as I'm off to Spa Classic 6 hours.

Good luck in your Hillclimbs this weekend!

I'm going to have a go at this one. Earlier in the week I tried the Capri at Salzburgring and it was very good.

Thanks Bill  ;D
Here's a vid of a run. it is MUCH steeper than it looks...

Nice, I assume the speedo was showing MPH?

It is, but it's 10% high with the lower geared diff

Perhaps Roger will join us? Be good to get a few non aliens, so I have someone to race with  ;D

It's a shame you're starting this series early as I was looking forward to this one. I'll join in as soon as I can but it'll not be for a couple of weeks at least.

WEll, as I like these, I don't need much excuse to make it a longer series... or start another one with different tracks soon after.... ::)

I am present at this race

Lovely recreation of both car and track, but I'm still carp at RRE  :-\

Grats to all you quick guys.

I struggled here more than usual, not that I am great in these, but I kept losing the back
into the tighter corners. Was having a good race with Roger until the phone went and I ploughed into a wall  :taz:

Thanks to all who turned up, looked like a decent race at the sharp end  ;D

Sorry I didn’t race last night but I had a busy week, I’ve had no practice. Yesterday was a terrible day and I was too knackered to race - feeling my age!  :wheelchair:

I was sorry to see the crash between Riccardo and Alessandro on lap 2 - it would have been a more interesting race without that as the laptimes were all close in qually. I almost went off myself in avoiding them, and Matteo went past all three of us into the lead. I could keep pace with him in the first half, but later he started to pull away for the win. Congrats Matteo, and Alessandro for recovering to P3. Thanks to all.

Funny race, not easy, and the timing where so close! 3 position in the grid whit only 0,3 second of gap from the lead.
Whit a good start i get the lead, just for 2 laps, where my teammate riccardo due the aerodynamic wake hit me. Both of us decided to continue the race until the checked flag, where he let me his position to make amends. :)

grats to matteo and frex

hide my head in the sand and mute .....

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jumped on the server in rememberance of the old P&G days, with Capri was love at first sight!

I had only a poor training session on Wednesday, so I was using the wrong gear in a couple of corners, and I manged to catch only the 4th place in qualif.

After the mess between Riccardo and Alessandro (no comment :)) I took advantage of the situation putting my car at the lead of the group. With Frex right on my back I started to understand where I was slower than him and modified the gear in a couple of corners. The pace was good and I started to gain something before the only mistake of the race. Frex passed me after that mistake, but half a mile later his car drifted into the wall at the exit of the long right hander in the second sector, and I took the lead again without leaving it until the checkered flag.

All in all, a good race in a great car :)

Hope to see you for the next :)

the new Dubai and Blister Berg circuits could be included

Not looked at those yet, but I will.
These series are all 6 races. No harm in running another series when this has finished though  ::)

Does anyone know why this thread is pinned in the forum (or at least it is pinned for me)?

Jos

How do you mean "pinned" I can only see it if I dig through past series

Just checked and it's pinned for me too, appears in bold at the top of the race threads. Maybe only special people can see this  :laugh:

Me three... Sorry Tudor, you're not special...

Now un-pinned
