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.

Two more to go. Geoff has picked up the lead since Jos seems to have wandered off?
If you like these come along, if you don't come along anyway  ;D

P1 series after Zandvoort, and they are also very fast, but, for me at least a less awkward drive.

New FFB is out today, plus a host of physics changes:

- Formula RaceRoom 90 - Improved differential settings, less engine braking reduction
- Formula RaceRoom Junior, 2, 3, 4 and 90 - Tweaked rear tyre slip curves to give more progressive grip drop off beyond the limit

Been giving the new ffb a try and it's very different to the old (for me non existent) ffb. Takes a bit of getting used to but for me it's a big improvement and makes Raceroom playable again.

Just take the time to bind a few keys to activate the ffb display in game and to adjust the strength for each car as you're driving until you get the levels right.

wow love these these cars from raceroom the new FFB took a little getting used to, not quite feeling the braking anymore, hence the out breaking manoeuvre I made on Geoff at the start! sorry matey I just out braked myself and forced you wide apologise for that you were in front and should of had that corner.
Other than that I made a few mistakes at the start but managed to keep the car on track for the rest of the race, these things are tricky to managed and can bite you very quickly if press the loud pedal a bit keenly! I do have trouble keeping the temp in the front tyres but i am sure its just a setup thing.

Grats to the podium and looks like Geoff has the championship well done dude see ya at the next one, not sure how these things will be at Zandvoort I thinking they might be a little difficult. just a note to the Phspok i did try the French track Paul Richard and it wasnt too bad for these F1 cars.

I felt the new FFB helps with these cars a lot however they are still too quick for me. Had problems with the VR tracking at one point last night. I think the Reverb must use visible light and not radiated IR as it drifts when the light's not satisfactory. Spent the 2nd half of the race pressing the reset view button more than changing gears!

No idea how you keep any of the tyres warm, they're all green when I leave the pits but the fronts are stone cold before I start a proper lap. The rears join the freezing status half way around that lap. Fed up of the crew chief guy telling me my tyres are cold  :o

Still that's 3 races on the trot I've now finished, the real test will be the NSU race  :sweatdrop:

Was keen to try the new ffb in these beasts so decided to join the fun but keep out of the way of any regulars in the series. Not sure why Eck kept letting me pass though but at least it meant I didn't finish last  :)

Hadn't had much chance to practice and only remembered after the race that Matt had kindly provided a driveable setup for us so I was struggling, especially on corner exit. Had a play with setup afterwards and I seem to have things a bit more under control now. Also noticed that not many (if any) have chosen the V8 in this series. Do you all know something that I should know?  :laugh:

I shall try to join you more often now.

There is only 1 more event in this series Tudor.... I have a P1 series waiting in the wings to take over
which are very fast but less tricky than these.
My example setups are mostly about making the back end less of a threat, they are not particularly fast.

People sometimes find it better to drive to the default setup, than try to tame these with setups
If I try to use the default setup, only thing I really have to change is the brake bias. It is way too far
forward for me, I can drive these, but I can't race them effectively
I feel I am going some, but others are 3 secs faster  :o

Same reason as yourself but I'd get in the way, standing still. At the minute, I'm a real liability. Its not specific to any car or game, even after a reasonable start, I'd rather pull to one side n let everyone roll.

Congrats on another win in this series John, quick & consistent. I am not too far behind in terms of speed but always seem to get caught out by getting on the throttle too eagerly at some point. No worries about the slight bump, from the replay your front wheel hit my rear one & was just enough that I overshot the corner, but you would have passed me sooner or later anyway.

Had a few laps in close company with Frex, although never close enough to call it a dice, but I inherited a comfortable 2nd place when he mysteriously slowed right down on the S/F straight around half distance.

Congrats also to Pete in 3rd, this getting to the finish is becoming a habit!

RRE always been my favourite sim but now I have had some time to properly try the revised FFB I am liking it even more - any of the older cars that move around at the rear really come alive and cars like the touring classics, scirocco, 934 and 964 are an absolute joy to throw around the track. Really hoping for a Group 4 M1 vs 934 series now at some point..  :angel:

Congrats John and podium.

Group C cars also feel amazing now, totally transformed. And I love the little whisps of smoke from the turbos on gearshifts.

Only you like the 934 Frex  :lol: :lol: I will give a whirl again, perhaps it is capable of going in a straight line now.  ::)
