Cars allowed: CUPRA LEON E-RACER

Time of Day Setting: 13:00
Weather: Dry

Start: Standing start
Tyre wear: Normal
Fuel consumption: Normal
Pit-stops: none required

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 especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the relevant Track Packs for this series
(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. [/quote]

Which Version of the track do you intend to use please?

It says 'Short' in the thread title Bill.

Thanks too far up the page, didn’t look there.  ::)

...took me about 5 mins to work out why the engine did not fire when i pressed starter button  ::)

And mine is stuck in 1st gear  :o

Pit speed limiter?


There is only D and S options!

Having problems on this twisty track, car won’t go where I want it to go!  ::) Help, any setups please?   ;D

not looked at setups so I cannot help you there  :-[

but was wondering about the power map versus battery usage havin not driven an E racer before is that a thing?
...and would it affect a race of only 20 mins?
In other words if you had the higher map does the battery drain sooner...  now i've written that down i think i have answered my self ...it must do right?

Yes it will. At Brands GP race which has been lost in the mists of time now...I ran maximum regen but had the power level on the middle setting(?) and only just got to the end of 20mins with plenty of coasting into the braking zones.

Assign a button on your wheel or keyboard to change engine maps during the race in case you run low on power or even have a bit to spare (maybe in the 15 min race!).

just a thought and i am sure you already know this .... as i only starting this PC simracing game in January this year and bought a Logitech G923

I am not sure why but i cannot change the steering rotation angle in game, in the car setup menu. So what ever i had set the wheel to rotate in the wheels software was what i had to drive the car with.
I am not talking about the visual matching of the wheel to the graphic in the option menu just purely the steering rotation from the in car setup menu
This meant whether i drove one of the smaller formula cars which i think has 327 or that big SLK Merc which has a full 900 i only had my choice (at the time about 300) of how i had set the rotation angle in the wheels software to drive with which made some cars absolutly inpossible to drive

...until that is that it was pointed out to me i could (or should be able) to change the steering rotation angle for each car in the car setup menu to match what ever the steering wheel rotation angle is set to  :o
...imagine my revelation  ???

... so iam forced to match the wheel rotation to each car its a bit of a faff but not a big problem as long as i remember to do it when i drive a different car....
At the end of the day not with standing my questionable talent i can at least drive more cars now so that might be worth a check...maybe?    

The main issue is that really your only guessing at your usage rate, as there is no information.

please note: I HAVE CHANGED THE TRACK LAYOUT  TO THE NATIONAL VERSION

Just tried out the 'Short circuit' expecting it to be the same layout as we raced the Wednesday night DTM cars on recently but the RRE version has a horrible 1st gear chicane added in.

Practice Server is up for tomorrow nights race!

My problem Woodcote was not with the wheel, I have the G29 but with the sharp chicane! The National track is much closer to the track we always used in GTL and in my view a nicer track to drive on.

I only occasionally change the steering settings. Like the nasty hairpin at Macao.
I think I mostly run with 400deg, and 17.

@ BIll - yes i know what you mean it feels ridicoulsy slow to get around it

I'm going to give these a miss tonight since Thursdays race with a combination of poor seating choice/position i've hurt my back ...lame i know buts something i've had on/off for years and certain things trigger it have rig but am waiting on a seat which will be supportive and i should help a lot, so i am hanging up the gloves for a fwe days. Hope to be back for Thursdsay DTM
have fun

Sorry when I tried to login my laptop got a warning ran a check and supposed to restart but has locked up! Ctrl/alt/delete makes no difference and switching off the power doesn’t work so have to wait until the battery runs down and then power up off the mains and hope it restarts correctly. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Sorted, ran OK offline!  ;D

Woehoe, first race win in league racing  :w00t: after almost 1 year of simracing.

Still a sunday race, with not that much of competitors, but still :)


Race 1, good start after 2 laps in the first group with Geoff and Spanner, but after 10min lost the draft of the two.

Race 2, again good start and had the luck Geoff and Spanner couldn't directly follow me, first 2 laps had a gap of 8sec. And managed the gap to the finish :)


Congrats to all

Hold the power button in for at least 5 seconds and it will force a power down. No need to wait for the battery to discharge.

Thanks Matt.

Logon to server for last night’s race and did a few laps OK.  ;D

Congrats Birger on your first win, many more to come I reckon.  :thumbup2:

Two quite fun races despite the low turn out.

First one was a battle between going fast enough to stay ahead of Mark whilst trying to save enough power to make it to the finish. In the end I saved too much power & was able to turn the power map up to 4 for the last lap & a half & still have over 1% left when I crossed the line.

Race 2 I got caught out early on when Matt & Mark created a lot of smoke at T6 & with my view obscured I had to stand on the brakes to avoid Mark & spun the car. Drove hard for the rest of the race but could only make up one place before the finish.

Congrats to Mark on two 2nd places.  :clap:

I really don't know why the game is penalising me on every start  ??? I make sure i'm in S, the lights go out, I press the pedal and nothing happens for what feels like 2secs as you all drive past!

I then notice i'm getting some beeping sounds a couple of corners later.. all strange.

My brands setup worked well here once moving the brake bias forward a bit. But when i turn up the power for qually i really struggle in the car, took forever to get a timed lap, think it might be the increased regen it gives.

I seem to make all my time up on you guys in the braking couldn't believe i closed up. Tried following Geoff closely but just got caught out by our different approaches in corner a few times and at the end realized i was saving too much energy ( this was another race it was going to be tight) and couldnt close the gap as i assumed he had wound it up a bit! Well done Geoff.

I thought i was having a good battle with Matt side by side for a few corners but then i guess he assumed i had fallen behind? I guess i was thrown by the silence of no engine, thinking i had stalled or something, i could have drven off sooner but Matt quitting threw me a bit. Tried chasing Biri down but had no answer to his pace.

You need to start in D Mark, then change to S once the car is moving. It confused me too when we had the test race at Most, in S the car doesn't move for a second or so.

I too had the same problem in qualifying, the car did not handle using my qualifying setup from Brands. I used my race setup with the map turned up & that worked better & once I had got used to having to adjust my braking points I eventually got a decent lap in at the very end of qually.

I don't need much to make me quit these races, I really don't like the car. It understeers and locks up the fronts making understeer worse
If I move the bias to the rear it spins into corners with the regen braking, which is worse the more you increase map
You are right Mark, power and regen increase with higher map.
I made a good start "protect against false start was enabled" so I just stick in S with my foot hard down and even though it is delayed
it gets going fairly well.
Wasn't up for aggressive paint swapping last night,  :fencing: so left

 ;)
That makes me feel better, I thought it was just my poor driving!  ;) I have problems approaching corners with this car, either brake too soon or brake too late and lock up the brakes and go straight on. ::)
