Example Setups:


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.

Congrats Markus! Great race until I ran out of talent.

Having watched your car being better on the brakes for 22 laps, I have no idea why I suddenly thought Godzilla would have better brakes into the second chicane on lap 23  ::)

Godzilla was particularly weak on the brakes again but an absolute monster out of the final turn and over the hilltop and into the tunnel.

Did not enjoy these cars around here, just had to be so careful getting the power down to avoid a spin & even with brake pressure turned right down I was still having real problems with lock up. The more I drive these the more I wish the devs had not messed with the physics, they were really good fun to drive now they are just a little tedious.

Anyway, congrats to Markus & Frex  :clap: :clap: & bad luck to Glenn.

I agree with Geoffers, Perhaps I should not have used this track, but we have run here before and had some great races.
The next one is a nice flat track, so less trouble over crests. The previous version of these cars were a bit woolly
and didn't feel quite connected to the road to me, but were easy and good fun, Their attempt at realistic handling
hasn't really helped.

At the start Glenn pulled away as if I was standing. I could only follow him for 21 laps. Than Glenn missed the apex in the righthander after the tunnel and I could gain more speed on the straight and finally overtake him in the hairpin. In the following lap I made a small mistake in the first chicane and brought Glenn in a position to overtake. But it didn`work for him. Next and final lap, same game but this time he unfortunately lost his car. In the end a lucky win for me. It was great fun and a real intense race!
Grats to Glenn for a great fight and frex and Geoffers for the podium.

Well I love these cars, but also really didn't enjoy this race because after a few laps I started getting severe cramp in my feet.. Missed my braking a couple of times and lost the tow to the fast two at the front, and was dropping further and further back. Let Geoff past and thought I would have to retire, but then after a few laps more it somehow went away and I could pick up my pace again. Got a lucky P2 after Geoff and Glenn had incidents near the end, unlucky chaps. Congrats Markus.

Can't say I dislike these cars, but I do find them more challenging than they used to be.
The porka seems more realistic to drive now, maybe I'm just getting used to it.
