Fuel consumption: Normal
Pit stops: Not required

Password: see above (#post_event_password)

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.

This is a read me intended for newcomers to this series.

There are three races per night.

There are five car makes available.

You must drive three makes per night. Therefore you must change cars after every race. Your choice, which make, in which race.

Qualy is one hot lap only. Once you set a time you must Esc out. You may make more than one outlap but only one hot lap.

Well I was unlucky again this week. Last week I was unable to join. Probably because I selected the wrong Mini Class. I had actually practiced before the races. Again this week I had practiced in the Corolla but could not join in that car (car not present on server). I think when following Tony’s link something went wrong and I must have downloaded the wrong car set. I could join in the Imp for practice. I have two operating systems in my PC case and cant access SR.org.uk’s website on the one I have GTL installed so had to shut the PC down and switch over to the other one, re download the Corolla set then go through the procedure again and reinstall the car pack. Just missed the start of the race but tried to join for race 2 in the Imp which I knew was OK. At first it loaded but every time Coyote loaded the screen just flashed and locked up. It showed him driving a Mini Cooper. I don’t know what caused the problem, I guess it might have been I did not have the car he was driving in my car set. I may try again next week, third time lucky?

I hope all enjoyed there racing. :thumbup1:

EDIT: Oops… :oops: Just spotted Tony’s fixes for Mazda and Toyota I didn’t download and install. ::)

Congratulations for the idea to have three races with three different cars mandatory. It was so much fun as all of the drivers was well prepared and the fair play, as always here, was on very high level. At the end we had a great evening full with tremendous racing.

Race 1 was the best one for me, as i had brilliant tactical chase with Dan who took the pole just by half tent of the second from me  ;D. I was a little bit quicker on the corners and he was a little bit faster on the straights and acceleration so it was very hard to issue an attack. At the end a small mistake cost me the chance to fight for the win until the end. After that another mistake in the hairpin once again costed me the second place, so i finished in P3.

The second race was so hard. The car was stable but man, so slow. I started 10th last but was able to manage 5 positions gain.

The third race was the worst. The car was not set up right for braking and i made a slip before the hairpin on the hard braking. After that we had great chase with Tony, Fulvio, Geoffers and Silvino. Unfortunately i hit Fulvio at the second corner and i am really sorry to him. At the end i finished down at P8 with another big mistake.

Congrats to the winners and the podium guys and to Silvino for the great debut and sportsmanship driving.

Thanks for all three results Kurt.

Sorry to see you quit out early for all three races. Perhaps the track didn't suit you?

Thanks for not mentioning the various occasions where I nearly collided, or did collide, with you. Not good by me.

No problem Tony, i know how tough it is to drive at the maximum and not make any mistake. Just look at my hit at Fulvio. :(

Two quite exciting races & one not so exciting, the not so exciting one being the one I won!

Race 1, I was victim of a coming together behind me at T1 & ended up off track. Gradually worked my way up to 4th at the end, mainly due to others mistakes, although I did have a brief battle with Matt.

Race 2, got pole, took the lead & gradually pulled away from Daz, mainly due to the Mazda being faster than his Cortina.

Race 3, situation reversed with Daz having the straight line speed advantage. Stayed close for a few laps, then spun exiting T1 & had to wait while everyone went past before rejoining. Caught up with the Toyota battle between Tony, Fulvio, Silvino & Dimitar & got a bit lucky when Fulvio & Dimitar tangled gaining me two places. Managed to get past Silvino & then Tony kindly threw himself into the weeds to get me up to 5th at the end.

Congrats to Dan and Daz on their victories & to the others who mounted the podium.  :clap: :clap: :clap:

Use this link https://www.simracing.org.uk/lm2/index.php?action=teams.

It's been many years since I have used this but I think to invite another driver to join your team you do this.

At the bottom of the page there is your name showing. Using the dropdown find the name of the driver you want to invite to join your team. Replace your name with your invitee's name.

Click "Send invitation".
