(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: To score points in this series you must complete over 50% of the overall race distance.

I was lucky again as in race 1 almost all of the other drivers had problems at lap 1 and i was able to go ahead and make some lead. At the end of the race i made a big mistake, kissing the grass and went off, but i had good lead and was able to finish in P1. Race 2 was one of those great duels with Geoff that we have for months now. Once again he was so fast and took the pole. I was calm though as i knew i can go faster in the race because i didn't made the best possible lap at the qualy. But it turns out that Geoff was hiding some pace for the race as well. This time i was able to make a decent start with the Alfa and just stay ahead of the powerhouse Dan was driving. From here the battle started. Geoffers was faster in the first 2 laps and i knew that if i let the gap go more than 2-3 seconds it will be over. Fortunately when my tires started working at their optimal temperatures now i was faster. I was just behind Geoff and preparing my first attack. It was very funny how he made a mistake on turn 3 and unfortunately for me i returned the favor 100 meters later on the chicane. :laugh: After another little mistake at the chicane i took the lead but the show was going to continue. As we know that Geoff is very determined driver and can keep his tires greatly he was saving his best for the second part of the race. Here i was tested at the maximum as Geoff was all over my back. I knew that even the smallest mistake here will make the race almost impossible to win for me as he was clearly faster. I went defending the position few times and got totally lucky when in the penultimate lap he lost his car on acceleration and span. It was going to be so interesting in the last lap but this is racing and it was normal that someone was going to made a mistake as we were driving on the limit for so long. Congrats to Matt and Geoff for the podiums at Race 1 and Geoff and Daz for the podium at Race 2.

Anderstorp in the Mini started like others recently, with my car facing the wrong way on the first lap. Had good fun though chasing back through the field & catching the battle for 2nd between Matt & Clive near the end, nabbed 3rd from Clive when he made a mistake on the penultimate lap. Zolder was an epic battle with DD's Alfa. DD has pretty much covered it above. Neither of us could make a break & it was resolved when I spun on the penultimate lap. Congrats to DD on two excellent wins & to Matt & Daz on the podiums. :clap: :clap: :clap: Title: Re: UKGTL Season 20 GTL Cup Challenge - Stage B - Zolder - Nov 30 Post by: SpecialKS on December 01, 2020, 08:41:38 PM +0000 Result (https://www.avonrise.co.uk/srou/kurts/_2020//30112020_Zolder)
