(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.

If someone can join at 19:45 that would be a big help Thanks Title: Re: RRE Season 8 (2021) NSU's - Vålerbanen - Sep 2 Post by: Geoffers on September 02, 2021, 06:22:51 PM +0100 An emergency has come up where I have to go out, and may not be back in time to start the clock at 19:45 If someone can join at 19:45 that would be a big help Thanks I should be there in time Matt.

Qualifying basically determined the outcome of race 1, with pole man Pete quickly building around a 2s lead while I kept John occupied with his mirrors & Eck had a good view of our battle. Could not find a way past John despite getting alongside a couple of times & finally lost touch with him when I had a trip through the gravel at the T1 chicane & was never able to catch back up. Got a bit lucky for race 2, I had nearly run out of fuel in the first race, so added a bit more to make sure & only realised after the race had started that it had been set to 20 laps rather than 20 mins, so I probably would not have finished without the extra juice. Anyway, I had the advantage of a front row start this time & just beat Eck into T1 & while the others argued over 2nd place I was able to build a small lead. I expected John & Pete to close the gap, but I seemed to find a bit extra speed from somewhere & the gap was soon up to 5s. This stayed constant for several laps but increased more towards the end, maybe John & Pete were low on fuel ???. So had a fairly comfortable win in this one. Congrats to Pete on the win & podium & to John on two 2nds. :clap: :clap: Title: Re: RRE Season 8 (2021) NSU's - Vålerbanen - Sep 2 Post by: BillThomas on September 03, 2021, 01:29:31 PM +0100 Foot is a lot better, I had hoped to join you for at least for the first race but in the event I had a busy day and decided not to turn up. :hammer: :nono:
Had a look at the Mustang at Mid Ohio, we’ve raced here many times so I have sorted out my setup and plan to get some laps in and race next Thursday! 8) :rockon: Title: Re: RRE Season 8 (2021) NSU's - Vålerbanen - Sep 2 Post by: picnic on September 03, 2021, 01:38:48 PM +0100 Glad to hear the foot's much better Bill. We were hoping to see you last night, roll on next week :)
Good racing again last night although I was really tired. Managed to just squeak the win in the first race as John caught me late on. Glad for the early advantage caused by the agro Geoff was causing him ;D I had way too much fuel in race 1 so took a chunk out for race 2. Didn't seem to make much difference to my lap times. By half way I was totally knackered and was struggling with concentration massively. Awesome time in that second race Geoff, couldn't have lived with that even if I was 100%. I still reckon these give some of the best close racing it is a shame more can't see it ::) Well done everyone last night |
