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.

IMPORTANT

The track download has been revised. If you have already downloaded the track (before Jan 31st), please do so again with the latest download. You can keep the original download.

Hi Tony car 16 please.

A quater past two,  Can't see the UKGTL server, is that a problem on my end ?

Just checking now.
Edit: Could not see a problem but I have reset the server with tonight's password.

PS Dan, are you choosing a car # for this series?

AAaaaaaaaarrrrrggghhh!!! yet another version of Silverstone lmao.  How many more variants of this track are there??

Just when I think "Oh! tonight's race is at Silverstone, that's OK I will know the track" Tony finds a new one. Ah well, all part of life's rich pageant.

Just providing the most accurate representation of the track for the year required  :P  ;)

mmmmm yeah right!!  :-\

Tony,
        server is ok now, thanks for restarting.
My favourite car would be 36 thank you
Peter Greendike has just registered and would like to join us tonight. Hope that's fine wih you. Should have sent you a pm on this . will do so anyway to confirm.

Lost connection to lobby. :( Hope you all carried on OK.  :thumbup1:

Nope...

No got disco Had lots of stutter in race

Looks like the lobby crashed, but its back now.

Well that was weird!!  ???
I guessed that Geoffers and Erling had somehow disco'd and I felt sorry for them..no, I really did honestly  ;) Then I was catching Tony who had inherited the lead.
Crossing the S/F line I was 2.5 secs down on him and closing......exiting Copse I was suddenly 9 secs down and Tony was somewhere in the Complex!! gobsmacked as I had nailed Copse  :-\ For the next race I want the tyres that Tony uses!! lol.
Then the time gaps on my HUD were going crazy as I closed up on Tony again.
Tony spun just before Woodcote and I was through  :jumpjoy: 10 secs later it all folded and the "next track" notice announced the end of my 10 secs of glory. Even Andy Warhol says we should have 15 mins of fame!!
It was a shame because I was slowly learning the track and the car, just not as quickly as Geoffers or Erling. No worries on my side Tony sh*t happens and it is only a game......isn't it?  ::)

Well that was  :censored:

Altbierbude seemed to have lost six out of eight lobby slots as well as us breaking down so I think it's a problem with their lobby. We have used the track before and I cannot see anything in the .gdb file to suggest a time out problem or max # of laps limit.

I will re-schedule this fixture (see below)

Sorry guys but pretty much beyond my control.

And I was having an epic scrap with Erling too  ::)

IMPORTANT

This event is now re-scheduled for Wednesday 19th February.

Hi, I'm asking for car 26.
It is not safe to run but if I arrive on time I will run-
Greetings

I don't see a server to practice
Greetings ???

Done

I have re-started the server, please try again.

Very odd, track isn't a GTR2 conversion so you should not need to do anything special. Either run a trace or re-install. Sorry best advice I can offer.

Can I have 75 please?

I have created another install and it works ,

I have had similar issues with the Bellenx, and French F3

Done

I had a crash to the desktop.  Haven't had that happen for a while, Oh well like the track but the cars are above my talent level, like the BMW pro cars we have rune seasons back.  Grats to the podium and all who finished..........
