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.

Hello!,  is there somebody racing tomorrow? I'd like to be on the grid racing for vda.

Yes!

ok

Very good! Geoff and riccardo i'm very happy!

I will be there, not that I will be worrying you  ;D

Still trying to fix my game crashing so I'll be there but the only think I'll be worrying is the scenery.

We race for fun, and it's alwais a pleasure to racing against anyone, mate!

Had problems installing the missing Windows 10 update, now sorted but have not had a chance to practice and couldn’t find our server in the RRE lobby lunch time. Will try out in practice to see if I remember the track or not!

Was quite enjoying that one, until I noticed my tyres were turning yellow, then flashing red  :o
I had taken a default setup and forgot to change to mediums.... Went in the pits, and hit return
which cancelled the stop, and then got a stop and go. Ah well was fun while it lasted  :(

Grats to passmore and geoff! I had a problem with my pc sometimes the immage is stopped and the engine is flat out for a lots of seconds and after i return in race at the last position.  Im very disappointed about this.

Well I made to the end of the race without the game crashing and I didn't get lapped. Had no one to race though as I'm so dog slow in these things. Just too scared to press the loud pedal, the brake pedal or rotate the steering wheel  ::) Ran last night using this opencomposite runtime but hadn't realised the other night the screen resolution was really low, 1024x768. Wondering if that's because I used a different monitor. Changed now to a more sensible res and will race on Sunday to test again.

Great pace everyone, no idea how you do it  :-[

Congrats to John on the win & to Birger in 3rd  :clap: :clap: & bad luck on the freezes Leonardo, you were very fast again.

I thought I was going to struggle during practice as I was well off the pace of the front guys but got a pretty good lap in qually. Got a little out of shape at the start & hampered Leonardo a little, sorry, so didn't fight when he took the inside line for T1 & nabbed 2nd. Got it back when he had a half spin at the start of lap 2 & then I spent the rest of the race chasing John. Gap between us hovered around 3-4s all race but without a mistake from John I was not going to catch him, well driven  :thumbup1:.

Weren't you on the hard tyres? If so you were the only one and that would explain it. I didn't try the softs until I did one quick lap on them early on in qually, and they were clearly 2-3 secs quicker than the Mediums. I guess the difference between Hards and Mediums is about the same..

As for my race, made an embarrassing noob spin off the line (sorry Matt) and hence straight to the back of the pack. Made up a couple of places and then came upon Riccardo and spent the rest of the race trying and failing to find a way past.. When a recovering Leonardo started to get close behind us I made a bit of a (desperate) lunge up the inside into the chicane, but we touched tyres and I went off. My fault, but no real damage done.

First time I've begun to sort of enjoy these though. Congrats podium.

great race love these cars especially in VR "awesome"!! if you haven't tried VR its a game changer! I would recommend it, wished I have taken the plunged years ago.
I was toying between the V8 and V10 before this race as they were both very similar in times, went for the V10 because of the sound "just fantastic that's where race room excels in my opinion!"  managed to get pole just with the soft tires by a squeak! Very cautious on the start as I know how easy it is to spin these things on the loud pedal and managed to gain a bit of a lead, that's what I think won me the race as Geoff was keeping the gap constant between 3 - 4 seconds just behind me (no room for error). I had real trouble keeping the front tires warm, no problem with the rears! but what I don't get is with the AI drivers seems to be 7 seconds faster than me when I practice. I don't know if this is a raceroom thing! it just don't seem right to me!

grats to the podium guys and all in the race tough cars to drive and keep them of the road!

Portimao next which is one of my favourite tracks looking forward to that one!

I was, didn't realise there were mediums :-[ I noticed in practice I was eating the tyres and then remembered softs don't last the race, but when I changed compound in the setup it went straight from soft to hard. Well confused now :-\

OOI how do you know what tyre compounds other cars are using?

And... How do you see the tyre temps on track?

It's part of the new UI released in the December update - when in the pits you can see tyre info for other cars, and there's also a proper chat window (yay) plus post-race results screen with fastest laps etc. Still in beta, but add -webmenu to your Steam launch parameters if you want to try it. Alternatively, there are various third party apps which can show similar info and a lot more besides (including live tyre temps etc).

Thanks, must remember to try that  :angel:

I use the Otterhud https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/otterhud-a-custom-webhud-with-additional-features.13152/

its really good and i use it with crew chief with automatically starts the hud in raceroom

JP

Silly me forgot about Crew Chief  ::) I might try Otterhud but it looks very busy, is it ok in VR?

otterhud work well in VR you can turn off the displays you dont want and also move them around to suit you.

Excellent, thanks.

Using the Otterhud for a year now.


Had trouble to read the hud with VR. But with right mouse click and the roller you can make parts of the hud bigger. and place them on clear parts of your cars dashboard. And works together with crewchief.

Great race thursday.

still struggling with the start, but i`m clearly not the only one  ;D

I placed myself in 4th position after 1 lap, after that Leonardo get disconnected moved up to third.

Luckily Frex was fighting with Ricardo, so i could make a gap.


very pleased with 3th place. Indeed now the third race in VR, real game changer.



congrats to chunky and geoff
