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.

Interesting pic of a FF ;)

Eeeek, gimme chance

Spun off the start, spun on lap 2. Enough. I really don't enjoy these cars. Maybe next event will be better

I'm training my driving skills in these car. And i see that i can hold, or almost hold the lap pace of the lead group in this class, comparing to other classes. (so training is helping).


For Race 1: great race, almost no mistake (and this is already good in FRJ). Because catched up with Pete and Geoffers due to the spins :)

For Race 2: not a great start. Had a little bit more confidence. So in lap 1 defended my P2 position into the 180degr turn after the straight against Geoffers. Normal braking point for me is at 130mtr now braked at 140/150 due to the defending and the cold brakes. And had a little bump from Geoffers (no probs).

Great fight with Geoffers in the first 5 laps at the back, catching up with towards Pete. Up to a little slide between T7 and T8.


thx
Biri

Had problems with my steering wheel kept loosing its setup. The usual solution of disconnecting and re-connecting only working for a few laps! Apologies to the driver I hit in race 2. :oops:

Difficult night last night, no consistency. Not sure whether I was overheating the brakes / tyres but kept having random spins when I was sure I was not doing anything different to the lap before. Reminded me of why I gave up with GPL  :'(

Norisring next, should be easier. Two hairpins and an S. What could possibly go wrong  ;D

If it requires turning the steering wheel, pressing the throttle or brake pedals, then plenty  ::)

Yeh, sorry about that Birger, there is a bump at the end of the straight & as I went over it the car veered slightly left & I caught the back of your car with my left front wheel. Unfortunately it delayed both of us  :(.

Quite a tricky car around this track & I got caught out twice in race one & spun off. After the incident with Birger, race 2 went much better & towards the end I was really throwing caution to the wind trying to catch Markus. Failed by less than a second although I think Markus had plenty in hand & was not pushing too hard.

Congrats to Markus on his two wins & to Frex & Pete on their podiums.  :clap: :clap: :clap:

Good first race with Markus after Geoff unfortunately had a spin. Very close.

Geoff tangled with Biri in second race and after Pete spun out from the lead it was again looking like I would have a nice battle with Markus. But then I caught a little gravel at the triple apex right hander which dragged me wide and into a bollard, race over. Damn.

Congrats Markus for the two wins.

I wasn`t quick but lucky. In the first race I had a good start and could remain in front. The gap grew up to 6 seconds, but I made too many slight mistakes so Frex was really close in the last 10 Minutes. Somehow I manged to keep him behind me. The same in the second race. I started at last, but in the first lap Bill lost his car and Frex waited, then Geoff and Birger had contact, in the second lap Pete lost his car in the first corner, so I was in front, even without overtaking anyone. Then I could build up a gap, again loosing it because of inconsistent lap times. But again I could hold this time Geoff behind me.
Grats to Geoff and Frex and Pete for the podiums.

Sorry frex for making an error and spoiling your race. My G25 doesn’t want to centre properly - now have to reset it up for RRE but still off centre!!  ::) >:(

Err.. Not sure what you are referring to Bill as I do not recall any sort of incident with you, and you definitely did not spoil either of my races..!

Thanks glad it wasn’t you I hit but I hit somebody. I think my steering wheel is like me knackered.  :'(

Was me during mid Race 2 in the chicane (yellow car), thought you would remain in the middle of chicane. You scared the hell out of me when you popped to the right front of me when i accelerated out of the chicane. No damage and lucky with large run off area out of the chicane (lost only 1 sec, so race was also not spoiled).  ;)

grts

Checked indeed the replay, and we where flying in to braking zone  ;D.

During training already noticed the wobbling FRJ on the bumps, so tightened the dampers, and it worked. The wobbling was reduced and i hit the ground a little earlier so i had a more steadier braking zone.

BiriBiri, thanks glad it didn’t ruin your race, as we enter the braking zone my steering went left hand down and I couldn’t avoid you! ???
