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.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: None.

Heatwave #156 incoming (T: 26C; W:30C; T:30C; F:31C) so I'm unsure for this. The evenings don't look too bad for now, so it's a definite maybe.

Quite enjoyed that even though it was rather warm.

Improved my best by 3s in qually to just pip Manfred for pole, but did not make the best of starts & dropped to 3rd. Passed Dan with the Porsche's better gearing down the back straight but Manfred was already 2s ahead & I was not able to run at his pace in the race. Kept the gap respectable until I got a little out of shape braking for Schatten & slid into the straw bales, (odd straw bales as the car stuck to them rather than bouncing off them) lost about 10s & any slim chance of catching Manfred. Still very happy with 2nd. :)

Congrats to Manfred on the win & Micha in 3rd.  :clap: :clap:

I was very lucky and almost jump-started.

best regards
Manfred

For those who intend to watch the replay, may I draw your attention to Tony's adventurous excusrion into the green (time:2140.136) and his successful return to the track. Now that's what I call determination to bring your car home. A perfect example for all early quitters. Well done Tony and a well deserved 7th pos. :clap:

Last time I buy 2nd hand Sat-Nav of eBay!

Well done to you Dan for that amazing pace in the Lotus. I must admit that my choice was purely tactical as it leaves me with Porsche drives for all of the remaining upcoming fixtures.
