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.

true, completely changed the car with the latest update, mission impossible, it will be hard to get to the end of the race.

Ouch. These are undrivable even with map1, with map 5 they are beyond my skill level.

GTR2 runs well here. I suggest we change to that group instead

You need to keep the revs high Matt, if you drop out of the range where the turbo is working, as soon as it comes back in you get a sudden rush of power & torque that it overpowers the grip. I can get around fairly comfortably in map 3 & just about in map 4, but you need to be so careful that map 3 & even map 2 are faster for me. Map 5 is just out of the question.  :eek:

But I am happy if it gets changed to something else. (Love the GTR2 Corvette).

I understand the difficulty, but what a beautiful bet to be able to tame it. map 2 drives well easy map 3 is right for the race, map 4/5 cannot be used. we are now at the end of the championship which has already been decided. this race will be pure fun and count the cars against the wall. don't change anything Martin, bye thanks

tried Audi now, worse than Nissan, then put all the GTO group cars, so one chooses the one that can drive ..... then if you want to put a GT2 it's fine ok.

I will do ask you want Riccardo.

Change nothing, or go with GTR2?

Ok.

Point: on the server the 300 ZX is power limited as it was too fast when we ran that group previously, so won't be quite as difficult.
I would still prefer to run the GTR2, as Geoff, Birger and I have had great fun with them in the past.
So, I will change it to GTR2.  :thumbup1:

 :( Srry Martin, but checked the replay and i was braking at my marker (the little red bord, just behind the 100mtr bord for Degna 1)  :(


Otherwise also bad race  :-\

Started with VR not working (i think the adapter or the cable with the power box is broken  >:( ). So switched in a long time towards monitor view.

Good quali but bad start, afterwrds good battle with Giuseppe, Pete. But missed my braking point due to close racing and needed to steer in the grass to avoid Giuseppe. Than the accident with Martin happened. And at the end again a small understeer mistake in Degna 2 so Dieter passed me.

Last 4 laps where fun following Giuseppe and Pete

I was not suggesting you were in any way at fault Birger. It was entirely my fault for braking too late.

Thanks Riccardo. However it was Massimo's race really, not sure what happened to him, all I saw was his car in the distance going straight on at T1. Looks like it may have been a technical issue.

Although I would have been quite happy with the challenge of driving the Nissan, there is no doubt that these cars were much easier with TC. Could not stay with Massimo while he was on track, although I did try hard, but he was half a second a lap or more faster. Equally I managed to be around the same amount quicker than Riccardo & pulled out a reasonable advantage so I did not have to take any risks in the final laps when the tyres were past their best.

Congrats to Riccardo & Alessandro  :clap: :clap: & bad luck to Massimo. :(

Podium gained after for a CTD of Massimo, thanks mate for your gift  :angel-wings: :angel-wings: :angel-wings:

I was always in difficult with this cars, it's needs clean line but I am not able of this.
First laps very intensive with Dieter close to me and I cannot to go away, after some laps I found a good pace and I begun to fill the gap to Riccardo but an usual spin off in the Spoon curve bring me to lost the virtual podium.
Then after a battle with Pawel I overtake him just for a his mistake

Great victory Geoff!  :clap: :clap: you and Bonni were unattainable

Thought i would use the hard tyres for the race, having only run the softs till then as i didnt think the softs would last well... oh well, understerred off at the first time for braking into T1 and then never had the pace to get back up. Still it was actually fun just driving around here on my own, hard to get bored around this track.
