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.

I don't find these cars at all easy to drive so I'll probably keep going until I'm lapped then I'll quit out.

Just not my cup of tea, sorry.

I did a few laps a while ago, and I thought they were an easy drive. Hmm
not sure I did a setup, if I have I will send it

Thank you!
Got it set up. About the race, I felt I got speed, but lacked consistency, but that's expected with these monsters. Looking forward to race with you again!

Had a good fight with Geoff, and indeed consitency was key here. At first the Saleen seems to be an easy and fun car to drive, but when you push the car to its limits then it becomes difficult.


PS: really nice to see bigger grids (hopefully this remains)

Welcome to Pawel!
@Allesandro: chat is not much used, i think RRE should implement hotkey's for the chat so it's able to send some key message's like (hello, sorry, gr, ...) with 1 button click or with voice recognition. For VR players its difficult to type chat message's  ;D

Congrats to the Italian contingent, excellent pace in this car.  :clap: :notworthy:

I can honestly say I did not get on well with the combo, in fact I got myself in such a mess with the setup that I reverted to the default setup for the race & just changed rear wing & gearing. Anything I did to the setup seemed to make the car either slower or more difficult to drive.

Anyhow, the race was quite entertaining, had a good battle with Birger, swapping places several times, but a couple of major mistakes late on lost me a lot of ground & had the race been a lap or two longer I would have been caught by Frex. At least I lapped a second faster than I had in qually.  ::)

No practice and a rubbish setup meant I was all over the place  :o
Went nose 1st into a wall a few times, and was really struggling to keep
it pointing the right way. I had also reverted to a mostly default setup
which was drivable, but when I went to the grid it used the nasty one from earlier.

Onwards  ;D
