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.

Was quite enjoying that until the tyres started to go off a bit, and I was floundering around
sorry I got in your way so much Frex, I was hoping to get it together after a few laps  ::)
I had practiced with the Capri, and probably should have stuck with it, just fancied
a runin the baby beemer. What happened to Eck? he joined then left, then joined?

That was my first race with new setup (little Christmas present to myself  :angel: ) and first time I've used a wheel with force feedback since 2007! New pedals and shifter too, so it was all very.. ..different. Different, but awesome racing as usual with a lovely grid of various Group 5 machinery. Should be a fun series, this one. Congrats Alessandro and Riccardo.

sorry I got in your way so much Frex

Um, you didn't! Are you sure that was me?!

Sorry for baulking you Geoff, I tried to keep out of everyone’s way when overtaking me - but not always successful. New PBs in qualifying and the race but too many unforced errors. My front tyres lost their bite and I had to brake earlier and use a lower gear towards the end of the race.

No problem Bill, I assumed you hadn't seen me. I was more worried about bumping you off track, it's always the car behind's responsibility to pass safely.

Quite happy with my race, got the Monza to the finish without any major mishaps, just didn't have the pace of the front three.

Congrats to Alessandro, Riccardo & Frex.  :clap: :clap: :clap:

Nice to see Eck back.  :thumbup1:

I saw you catching up and wondered why you hadn’t passed me.  ???

Oh, maybe that was Eck...... ::)

I left n returned so often, trying other cars. I'd practiced with the Monza, when I saw Geoffs' post about running it, I just thought I'd increase the variety. With three beemers though, I was reducing the variety. I'll try a Sylvia, I was just gonna ruin Bills' race with that. Going back to the Monza, I just hoped I'd get by. I haven't raced, since I last raced here (that was last year... ;D). When I got to turn one, running wide, I thought, just roll round n get used to it. You weren't in the way, sitting on yer tail was good, then I started getting out of corners better. I'd get along side, then we were even to where I needed to brake. Just a smidge earlier than the Beemer  :D.

Nice to see Eck back.  :thumbup1:

Thank you sir
