Welcome to the final round of the Srou Formula Easter Championship.
We are finishing at the fantastic Bikernieki circuit in Latvia.
Hopefully we can get a much bigger grid for this one as we already know it's a great track to race these on.

Following from last round the reverse grid will remain with only the top 6 being switched, as we had a very clean looking race last time out.

If you extract the RAR into your Assetto Corsa directory and let it overwrite, then everything should end up in the right place :)

The following cars are available - note that the Estonia 21 will be an older version of the Mod (V1.0.3), this is because the current version - while more accurate to real life - is heavily under powered compared to the rest of the field. If you have the original version of my full pack (Brands Hatch or earlier) and haven't updated the Estonia yet you can download just it at the following location:

Is it just me, or is stracker not working?

Edit: It's working now.

Definitely a cool little track in these cars, feels like a go-kart whipping around some of the turns, especially sector 3.  8) But with yet another track for me to learn for an ACC race at Kyalami tonight my practise will once again be limited before race night  :'(

Hi guys, back from my holliday. But not had time to fire up the pc, so if I am able to race tonight it will be with no practice. If so I will start at the back then.

And I cant't see the password yet...

Don't know what you're talking about - I definitely didn't forget to link the races to this post.....  :ninja:

Welcome back btw

A serious question for you all, given that it's currently 32 degrees + here in the UK and hot over much of Europe do you still want the race to go ahead tonight?
Given the lack of attendees already I thought it better to check first rather than be one of 4 drivers to turn up!

For me is Ok racing, but we can also postpone. No problem here.

35°  ;D

I'm ok as well.

Ok then, icecream boys :dots:

No no's, so looks like I'm going to have sweat it out!
(unless the big thunderstorm heading my way has different ideas....)

Bah enjoyed the first race and finished 4th and did a few 23’s :)
With a couple of tweaks to make I was hopeful for an even better race 2 but then my damn broadband dropped  >:( by the time I could rejoin you guys were 2 mins into the race  :'(

Well done to all who raced the full series,  :thumbup1:  shame about the drop outs leaving us a small grid  :(

Well done to Tim for organising a great fun and interesting single seater series  8)

So who won the championship?  :P

Altough I had to miss the majority of the races, I really enjoyed the close racing this series provided. Thanks to all who raced and a big thanks to FMG for organising this.
More than happy to do a re-run in the future with these cars.

I lost, lost for 1 point  :angel: If my math is correct.

I could have done it, but in Race 2, in the early laps when I was third, I lost control in the fast left corner. A real shame, and I wasn't even pushing, I never had excessive troubles in that corner in 100 laps.
I destroyed the nose of my car. It took me a few laps to understand the new handling (a lot of understeer), but in the last few laps I saw that SRW wasn't very far and I started pushing, more out of pride than anything else, since the championship was over anyway.
I managed to finish 3rd, taking advantage of a small mistake by Syd and attacking Stephen right in the last corners.

Hard to say what it would have been like if I hadn't made that mistake in the beginning. It certainly wouldn't have been easy to pass Tim (considering that my advantage was mainly in the turns), but I would have tried for sure.

A great championship, full of twists, mistakes, accidents and unpredictable situations. Too bad half of the players left halfway. A very well organized series.

Congratulations to Tim (who fought and won with a slower car), to Kai (very fast) and Syd (incredible in defense), but also to all those who continued to race honoring the championship.

Edit: maybe I have confused SRW with Jari, not sure. My team no longer showed me the table, they were eating ice cream, after my mistake at the start of the race.

The Championship was fun indeed. Even if I wasn't able to participate to all races.
Thank you Tim for the organisation and well done!
And thanks everyone participating for the fun! :)

Unlucky Fabri, you were a worthy champion as is Tim. Great pace as ever upfront  :thumbup1:

Thanks a lot, Mark.  :)  Avia was a perfect car.

Sorry for the delay in posting the results guys - Lots of changes at work this week and also in my *cough* home office.
I was rushing to finish throwing together a new media/internet pc to complement the new gaming rig, much more space now thanks to the mini ITX system (Never build anything smaller than a micro ATX system!, major headache!), and best of all as I mostly bought fans, cases and coolers from BeQuiet and Noctua you can't actually hear the computers when they're on :wub:
Beats the screaming old AM2 that used to do that job  :D

Anyway, Fabri's maths were right - I pipped by by just 1 point at the end of that season. Good luck on my part and bad on his, as I narrowly avoided being caught in Syd and Kai's incident on the first lap of Race 1 :o I actually thought I was done for in race 2 as Fabri got through the pack so fast, can't believe he took himself out!

The fight between Syd and Kai was resolved with Syd taking 3rd spot by just 4 points followed by Mark, Kimi, Stephen and Jari of the more frequent racers.

Thank you to all to raced until the end - the next 2 weeks will be fun events (probably another run in the Ford, Nissan and Toyota next week) and then I'm digging up one of Jeffrey's old series as it was so good - the (classic) Porsche 911 RSR cup!
Watch for an announcement thread appearing sometime over the weekend...

Well done on the championship win Tim  :notworthy:

and hurrah for an upcoming RSR series, those and the 962's were some of my favourite Sim-racing series over the years  8)

Edit, actually you might want to consider using the narrow body 2.8RSR from the TC mod set, it moves around really nicely and gives a lovely drift through a corner rather than the grippier wife body RSR  :)
