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.

First race back after a while and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

My race was all about the start in the Audi jumping from the back to third. After that I held Geoff and Toni up for a while as I really struggled with understeer, I was having to try and hook the inside wheels over the sausage kerbs to rotate the car.

Well done Mark on the win and Geoff on third. The Audi was the car to have here but I didn't have enough to challenge Mark.

Good race again in these cars, really good fun to drive.

Got mugged a bit at the start as Mark was slow away & the gap I went for closed so I had to lift off & lost a couple of places to Glenn & Eck's Audis. Both Pete & Eck then went off & I was up to 3rd chasing Mark & Glenn. Stayed close for several laps until I made a couple of errors & lost touch, fortunately I had enough in hand over Toni & Pete to stay in 3rd until the end despite a couple more slight off track excursions.

Congrats to Mark & Glenn.  :clap: :clap:

I was super surprised to do so well, I always enjoy Laguna (except the corkscrew!) and felt i was being pretty cautious into it, the brakes felt really super easy to lockup. Was cencentrating a lot to keep it on the track.

I dont know how to get off the line quicker! Did a few practise starts in qually; a full power auto clutch start seemed to actually feel quick, but off the line for real everyone seemed to have a better start!


Strange how strong the 4wd is despite with the massive understeer with it.
