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.

3rd place - Jos Ogos with 80 points  :thumbup1: :thumbup1: :thumbup1:


A mixed series, some loved it some found it too hard (me that is )  :whistling:

Next series in this slot is the P1 series https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=1472&theme=4 (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=1472&theme=4)

Welcome to Jay, who was seriously fast in these cars. Hopefully you will join us for some more racing  :thumbup1:
If you run with us some more, then please can you add USA as your country in your profile
then you will get a nice stars and stripes against you name in the results, Thanks

Congratulations to the Series podium! I know what you mean with these cars Matt, oddly enough this was the most comfortable race for me until too heavy a right foot coming off a kerb caused a 180 spin leaving me on the racing line facing the wrong way. Luckily the first car avoided me, I took a load of throttle and was just letting clutch back when another car appeared causing me to abort my manoeuvre and roll into the Armco finishing up at 90 degrees with no option to get running again without reversing on to track, so I reluctantly quit!    >:(

Happy to have won the championship, but I don't think I really deserved it. Jos was running away with it until he vanished & John mostly dominated the second half of the series, so it was only the fact that I turned up for all the races that decided it.

Fairly lonely race after the first few laps, I was keeping John & Jay in sight until I had a half spin after which it was just a case of getting to the finish.

Congrats to Jay on an excellent debut & to John in 2nd.  :clap: :clap:  Just a shame that only 5 of us turned up for the race.

Afterwards I tried out the Audi R18 that I have just purchased for the upcoming P1 series & is also in next weeks RRE Ranked Enduro at Monza. I thought that it would be quite easy to drive, but no, it hates kerbs & the visibility out of it is terrible making it very hard to place in the corners. Took me about 10 laps at Monza before I got a valid lap.

Bill mentioned the visibilty. Plainly I am not going fast enough as I can see everything I need to see  :laugh:
Not noticed kerb behavior yet. I ran all 3 briefly, Didn't spend much time in the Audi diesel, as I wasn't chasing
an emmisions rebate..... but all of them to me are a fairly easy drive with default setups, even at map 5
If you start increasing front grip, and don't reduce engine braking they do start to get a bit looser

The kerbs on some corners at Monza are quite severe which doesn't help, on other tracks it may not be such an issue.

On visibility.
I use nose view, not cockpit view, so I am probably not having the same issue  :eek:

Yes but car I’m going to use there is visibly through the front wheel arch Louvres.

Brands is particularly tricky for me in the P1 cars. I keep missing the apexes and exits because I can't see them until I'm on top of them. I'll have to try the nose cam.

Actually. I think it's bonnet view I use

I just had a play using cockpit view at Brands in a P1
I get the point. I had not noticed it as I use bonnet view
There are settings that can make cockpit view less of a challenge, though they may not be good for all

Go in to Options, and try this as a suggestion, adjust to suit:
Field of View
Advanced FOV
Screen Size = 46"
Distance to screen = 26" 66cm
Head Height offset = 0
Cockpit camera pitch = 0

Or just use chase cam?

Just changing the view isnt going to work for every one Matt.  Especially as its looks like youve made similar to bonnet with those settings

Yes, I tried that Advanced FOV when it first appeared, put in my screen size & distance to screen & hey presto I end up sitting on the bonnet. I want to be sitting in the car, not on the front of it. ::)

Having tried the Audi for the RRE Enduro on Wednesday, I also had a go in the 911RSR GTE car. Although I am not a fan of Pork, that car is brilliant fun, makes a great noise & is easy to drive. Would make a great one make series.

DIfferent screens etc. With my 1920 screen I was still in the car, but further forward
As I said "adjust to suit"

I like these P1s they suit what I am trying to do. If enough people want the pork I will change it
Last time I tried a modern GT3 series it was mostly ignored though.

Oh I am not suggesting you change from the P1s Matt, I am happy to drive them, just thought it may be an option for the future.

Yep. It's about time I unleashed the white pig  ;D

Great series loved these cars and grats to Geoff on the series win! I hope we run these again.

looking forward to the P1 series you tend to get the same issue in VR that the other are experiencing also up for a porker series as well

what times are you all getting at Brands for the P1 cars?

JP

I'd rather run the Porsche GTE than the P1s although the GTE seems an odd choice for a one make series when we have a few Cup cars including the Porsche Cup. Maybe a couple of trial races while the weather is hot and attendance is sketchy?


1:15/1:16 race trim when I can get in a clean lap, which is less than 50% thanks to the visibility.

Will adjust my profile,  had fun race with you guys.  I have been sim racing for 20 years or so i think lol.  Looking for an open wheel series,  either ams2 or raceroom.  Hope to race more with you guys! 

Group C maybe worth consideration? Cars don't seem any harder to drive than the GTOs and they tick the faster/prototype box.

Group C are much harder to drive for me.I tested them.  Maybe a future series.
