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.

Another good one  :thumbup1: I lost it on lap 1 and got stuck on the kerbs for a while
managed to catch up, and had lots of fun with people, didn't have the pace of the front runners
but was able to race a few to the end.  ;D

Didn't notice anything wrong with your start Riccardo. Unless I forget... my start are always standing.

Not a great race from my side.

At the start i braked a little to late for T1. Try to avoid Martin at the inside of T1 but have a bump. Luckily Martin didn't go off track due to my mistake. At T4 there where a lot of rider who had spins and moved up towards P4 or 5. Until Baldino made a move at the chicane and hit my rear right of the car. I spinned in to the gravel and together with Martin we where 10sec of the pack.

Mid race was fun, a little fight with Martin what i lost. And always hoping to catch the car's in front of us. Due to trying to catch the car's in front of us what succeeded, Crewchief have me a warning with 2 laps to go that we where to low on fuel. I swithed to engine map 1 and some coasting before the braking points. Due that Baldino was able to overtake me again. At the end the 2 laps of riding in economy  ;D just helped. Had an empty tank at the last turn and limped towards the finish line at 50kmph  ;D ;D ;D ;D

considering that on the first lap I was last I'm happy with third place, I had a lot of fun trying to recover, congratulations to Geoff for the victory !!
maybe a server translation error both Bonni and I thought it was launched but we weren't sure and we didn't get off to a good start.

Now I have got used to the restricted visibility I am quite enjoying these cars. Very happy with the win but Massimo was never too far behind & I had to concentrate & drive hard all race. I made a couple of mistakes around half distance which coincided with Massimo putting in some fast laps & he got to within a second but the gap increased again over the following laps. Nearly threw it all away a couple of laps from the end when I hit the raised kerb hump at the final turn, fortunately I didn't spin or damage the car.

Congrats to Massimo & Riccardo on the podium.  :clap: :clap:

Sorry for my absence but I didn’t get my morning practice in as we were doing two mornings jobs as this morning we had our Covid 19 Booster Jabs. I intended to try using the “on the bonnet” driving position to see if I could adapt to it I remembered the track from a previous race here but couldn’t see the turn in points!  :o:
