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 OP had the wrong track download link. This is now fixed with the correct link.

If your locations folder has a track called NFSS_Willow_Springs please delete it.

The correct track is called WillowSprings.

Sorry for the mix up.

PS In game it's called Big Willow.

Whoa, this is a difficult track, very easy to go off & when you do the car does not want to stop until it reaches the perimeter fence!  :o

Can confirm this - nice track, but woe to the one who steps beyond its boundaries...    Landscape is extremely slippery. Wonder why the track makers have decided on this.  Maybe Bob can shed light on it, if he knows the real track ?

Never been to this track.  It is about an hour north of Los Angeles and inland so would be very desert like most of the year.  Can't say if they made off track true to life or not but it would be one big sand trap.  Another  version of this track isn't this bad, it is more like Stardust which we have used before and is in the desert also.
Will only make R1 of this week, have to play Taxi for my wife for her outing.  She won't drive in the weather we have been having.  Really miserable with 0 degree F wind and snow.
