(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. Special Notes: None.

Was looking at the other drivers finishing, but for some reason, Matt's car was shown as still circulating, so I missed the chat.
Down with a cold; the first in over two years, thanks to COVID measures, so really not in great shape for a race. I like Doninton, apart for the GP section which I really hate. Never been friends with the Capri, but have at least reached some sort of agreement with it, so I can drive it without being mugged at every corner. So the basis for the race not really the greatest, but total alien absense created opportunities. Kept the lead after the start and quickly got a 4+ secs gap. Thus gave me a frown when it suddenly dropped again, and not after a particularly slow lap from me. Driver tags indicated it was now Clive chasing me. Cause for worry, as he's been quick(er) this season, and if I'm not mistraken, often has qualified on race fuel. Thus the race was by no means a done deal, and I had to hunker down and get some focused laps in. That extended the gap, to ensure the result, but also made for a lonely race - some closer action would have been welcome. Grats to Clive & Matt for the podiums, and commiserations to retirements and absents. |
