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.

Pretty sure I would roll it at some point but in the end got away with a fairly brief two-wheel moment and a couple of other minor offs. Great fun in the first half, swapping places with Geoff and trying to stay in touch with Massimo. Around half-distance two things happened - my tyres started overheating badly, and Geoff woke up and started banging in the fast laps! - I guess you were driving conservatively at the beginning and/or had reduced front pressures to keep the tyres alive. Either way, I was struggling from that point on. Great combo, although I suspect this track would be great with any car.

Congrats Massimo and Geoff.

Good fun race, the Scirocco was a great combo with this track.

Bit disappointed with 4th on the grid but got a good start to nip ahead of Frex & challenged Leonardo for 2nd in the early laps. Took 2nd when Leonardo had a big 2-wheel moment at the chicane onto the back straight but it didn't last as I ran wide at the next corner & Frex went past. Next 2 or 3 laps were a bit of a comedy of errors as Frex & I took it in turns to make mistakes & swap places. Eventually I got clear in 2nd place & over the remaining laps really got the hang of the track & closed the gap to Massimo in the lead but ran out of laps & was still a second & half behind at the flag.

Congrats to Massimo on the win & to Frex in 3rd.  :clap: :clap:

in qualifying I was unable to repeat the 54.2 which I usually did ... due to a bit of traffic! but all in all I take off immediately at the start for the brawl behind me .. I knew I could keep 54.6 ... 54.7 pace but I just checked without taking risks and taking home the victory .. but if the race had lasted 60 minutes for sure I would have to push back to not let Geoffers return too much ... good to all and see you in suzuka I hope! because I have commitments with iracing

It was a stranieri race for me during the qual i did the second time, and i was very happy becouse during the free practice i was in serious trouble with the car. I had a good start but i knew that my pace was not competitive at all. As geoff said i did a great two wheels number and i was lucky to remain on the track. After i had some internet problems and i felt down to the lasts position but i didn' t guve up and i tried to do my best e ending in 6 pos. Tnx to all for the honesty as usual!
