(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules. (3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read Autopit="0" Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

The pork doesn't like the kerbs, and I couldn't keep the thing straight to avoid them So quit to save the masochism :( Title: Re: UKGTL Season 22 1976 Group 5's - Watkins Glen - Oct 19 Post by: EvilClive on October 19, 2022, 10:02:05 PM +0100 Why is it I begin to enjoy the different cars as we get to the end of a series ??? ???
Grats to the podium guys and apologies to Erling for probably affecting his finishing position on the first lap :death: I should have been more careful on lap 1, but the brake lights on your Porsche came on about 200mtrs before I was expecting to just dab my brakes and turn in :-\. I had not allowed for the Porkers handling in corners vs the BMW which sticks like glue IMHO. Again apologies for spoiling your race. I waited for Erling and was kicking myself very hard at the same time. The rest of the race was a hard chase as I tried to make up places and I caught Tony around mid distance only to be caught out AGAIN at the same point on the track ( dumb or what??!). This time I was just able to throw the car into the boondocks and allow Tony to escape. Several laps dicing with Dan and trying to find a safe place to pass before finally slipping through and setting off after Tony once again. But he pulled a sneaky move of which I would have been proud and on lap 27 out of 28 he allowed the leader to lap him when I had closed the gap to 1 sec, thus finishing our race 1 lap early and denying me the chance of a last lap demon pass . :notworthy: Title: Re: UKGTL Season 22 1976 Group 5's - Watkins Glen - Oct 19 Post by: Wiltshire Tony on October 19, 2022, 10:06:28 PM +0100 But he pulled a sneaky move of which I would have been proud and on lap 27 out of 28 he allowed the leader to lap him when I had closed the gap to 1 sec, thus finishing our race 1 lap early and denying me the chance of a last lap demon pass . :notworthy: :devil: Mha ha ha ha haTitle: Re: UKGTL Season 22 1976 Group 5's - Watkins Glen - Oct 19 Post by: Wiltshire Tony on October 19, 2022, 10:10:22 PM +0100 Results and replay now posted.

Of course not what I had hoped for, but these things happen - I myself punted Michael off in that corner later in the race - apologies for that. Regrettable for me as well, as I lost a lot of time waiting for him to rejoin ahead. Without it, I could have been a lot closer to Daz late in the race.
Grats to Chris for the win & Daz for 2nd. Title: Re: UKGTL Season 22 1976 Group 5's - Watkins Glen - Oct 19 Post by: SpecialKS on October 21, 2022, 02:55:27 PM +0100 Result (https://www.avonrise.co.uk/srou/kurts/_2022//19102022_WatkinsGlen)
