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.
(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: None

Awesome racing last night.

It was hard to control the cars here escpecially at the braking for the hairpin.

I was surprised to have pace with the Jag for race 1. We had a good battle with Daz and out of nowhere Hristo came and took the lead from last position just two laps before the end.

Race 2 was the easiest for me, as i had the fastest car. Took the pole, kaje na fastest lap and took the victory with the best lap time of the evening. So i was very happy. But it was not easy because geoff was lurking behind me all the time.

Race 3 was a disappointment. I was slow in Q but found great pace on Race. I was all over geoff who started best and was looking for opportunities to overtake him. I try to ooutbrake him for the hairpin but it turns out the car was no longer able to stop in time and i went straight into the barriers. I stall the engine there and it was game over for podium finish. After that i was able to catch Coyote, try to show him self to him but by doing that i was no longer sure where the braking point starts. So i hit him - apologies Erling.

Grats to the winners and podium drivers.

Thanks for all of the results Kurt  :thumbup1:

Quite enjoyed this track & as DD said the cars were tricky to drive here but good fun at the same time.

First race I took the Ferrari as I found it the most difficult to drive so wanted it out of the way. I don't know why but I cannot coax the speed out of it that DD, Daz & Hristo can. Still I held 3rd for the first 2 or 3 laps although unable to stay with DD & Daz & being caught by Hristo. He had just caught me when I had a game freeze which lasted several seconds & dropped me well down the order. Did manage to claw my way back to 4th by the end which is where I would probably have finished anyway.

Race 2 in the Aston was quite close between DD, me & Daz, there was never much more than 3 or 4s covering us but the order stayed the same from start to finish.

Final race in the Jag featured a great battle with DD's Ferrari for the the lead for the first 3-4 laps until DD outbraked himself at the hairpin. After that I was increasing the gap back to Hristo & Daz & should have won but the car got away from me at the slow right/left section relegating me to 3rd place.

Congrats to Hristo, DD & Daz on their victories.  :clap: :clap: :clap:

Quite liked the track, but might be more enjoyable with more nimble, better handling cars.   Races were generally disappointing; something always seem to go wrong in this series.

Race 1 I hit Dan on L1, unfortunately knocking him into a spin.  Waited, to become last when he had rejoined.  Looking at the replay, it seems he was tangling with an Aston, losing momentum, so may not have been my fault after all - at least not entirely.  Had pretty much thrown away the race waiting, but made up a few places from others in trouble.  Catching Fulvio towards the end, but ran out of laps, so 6th was the most I could muster,

Race 2 I screwed up my one hot lap during qualy, so relegated to the bottom of the field. Gained a few places on L1 and an early intermezzo with Hristo gave way to a race long chase of Fulvio. He was quick and consistent, so although I was reeling him in, it wasn't happening fast enough, so once more a disappointing 6th place.

Race 3 I got ahead of Daz at the start, but just a formality for him to get back in front.  Later passed the stationary Dimitar, putting me in 4th.  An almost 8-sec gap held for two laps, but then I very nearly lost the rear at T1. Just avoided a spin by almost twisting the steering wheel off the table, but lost all momentum.  That helped Dimitar catch up, and after a couple of laps he was very close. Hit me as he described (np Dimitar; know how easy it is to miss the brake markers when close behind another car).  At the time I didn't know the reason, so rather annoyed I pulled over to let him past - if he was going to be that aggressive about getting past, as this is a throwaway series for me anyway, the way races are going.  Then saw in the mirror that he had spun. Didn't want to wait for that, so started again and kept 4th.

Grats to winners & podiums in all races.

It was actually on the very last lap  ;D

I didn't expect to be competitive, because I had no practice and no setups, so I had to learn the track and make something with the car settings in the very last moment. Couldn't manage a qualifying lap in both race 1 and 2, but it was fun charging from the back of the grid.

My starts in those two races were quite good, but while I was fortunate that the Austin was well balanced in race 1 and surprisingly fast enough to challenge for victory, the Jaguar was the opposite in race 2 and I barely managed to survive to finish a distant 4th.

For race 3 I thought I would do well in the Ferrari, after how it went last time at Leipzig, and qualifying seemed to prove that, as I took the pole. Unfortunately I had the bright idea to make some big setup changes just before the start and they turned out to be wrong. If it wasn't for Dimitar and Geoffers making mistakes, I wouldn't have finished in 2nd.

Congrats to Dimitar and Daz for the wins, and everyone for producing such great racing!
