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.

Kinda helps if you weren't referring to the 2005 version of the car in LM2. Each time you create the form post from the event it keeps coming up as DTM 2005.

Hmm. please don't be another track I have to buy..

Noted, and I think changed on both counts. Ta for the heads up

Never driven this track before last night's race. My god what a roller-coaster! Absolutely mental. They say the elevation changes in sim are lessened so this track must be properly bonkers in real life.

Geoff and Alessandro were in a class of their own, averaging 3 seconds a lap quicker than me. Awesome stuff guys and I bet you had an amazing race. Every time I checked the timing screen (not very often I grant you) there was less than half a second separating you. My race was all about not crashing really. I managed to be forth at the start and was chasing Glenn, fortunately for me he had a spin out of T4, so I inherited 3rd. Mark then seemed to be closing me down at an alarming rate but had his own issues which left Toni chasing me. Bit of rinse and repeat. He seemed to be gaining but had some sort of issue and dropped back. I managed to keep mainly on the black stuff and I'm chuffed to bits with 3rd.

Again amazing pace Alessandro and Geoff  :o

P.S. Can't wait to race this track with the NSU  ;D

Is it Markus that lives just over one the hills from the track? Someone we know does..
Crazy track, tough drive in these beasts, have driven it before, but not for a while, took me half the race
to get any sort of pace together, but is cool track once you get a flow going.

Wow that was tough, but I think it was tougher for Alessandro having that pressure from behind all race.

After qually I was not expecting to challenge for the win, Alessandro was so much faster but come the race we had very similar pace. In a couple of sections he was faster & in a couple of others I was a fraction quicker so over a lap there was nothing in it. This track though is very difficult to overtake on without the driver in front making a mistake & Alessandro only made a couple of small ones & on both occasions I was just unable to take advantage.

Great drive Alessandro & congrats on the win & to Pete in 3rd.  :clap: :clap:

As with the last two races in this series I spent a fair bit of time facing backwards. In and amongst all of the qualifying spins I miraculously managed a full lap good enough to squeeze into second.

In the race I never had the pace to go with Alessandro or Geoff so big well done to you both. Pete kept a close 4th until I spun out of T4 having taken one of the sausage kerbs too heavy rejoining down the order.

That set up a great battle with Mark and Toni with lots of close racing. It's a hard track to pass on but the racing was clean for a number of laps, I worked the tyres too hard trying to pass Toni so when I finally got through my tyres were overheating. As a result I spun four times (yes four) at the long dipping hairpin.

After that I pushed in case I could capitalise on any mistakes but Pete, Toni and Martin all drove solidly to see out the race ahead.

We have used this track before, can't remember off the the top of my head when, we could look. I just remember that someone?
possibly Markus said he lived over "that hill"

We raced Bilster Berg the first race of the Mercedes C-Class DTM '95 series. It was my first race with you all.

Yes, I think it was Markus who said he lived quite close to Bilsterberg.
