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 like these more than most of the cars. I had tried a low wing, but was quicker over a lap
with 12 wing, so stuck with that, the speed people passed on the straight suggested
I had it wrong  ::) I somehow nipped in front for a lap or two as the Italians seemed to
be waiting for each other - "After you Alessandro, no, after you Riccardo, perhaps we should wait
for Geoffers?"  :whistling:  I was also slower in the twisty end part as well, not enough
practice I guess, so I parked it as I didn't fancy 30 mins of following as the pack
disappeared into the Mediterranean sun.

Enjoyed that

Me too!  ;D

These are good fun, can be a little tricky if you try too hard though. Not too sure how I managed to keep it on track for 30 minutes,  in practice earlier in the day I could not complete more than a couple of laps without binning it so was not expecting to be in contention. Had fun chasing Alessandro for half the race, I think I was only able to keep up because my car was quicker on the straight & seemed to benefit greatly from the slipstream. When I got in front I was surprised to not get retaken on the straight & even more surprised to be able to extend the lead over the closing laps.

Good close race though, congrats to Alessandro & Riccardo on the podium.  :clap: :clap:
