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 certainly wasnt expecting the tires to go off quite so much or so quickly. Understeer really doesnt work around here.

Sory about the first corner Biri, Amazes me how little visibilty you get in Raceroom, virtual mirror basically obscured by the time bar, no radar. Last think i saw was you breaking early so thought i had room on exit.

Dieter: what on earth did you do to that thing! Never thought that car could be so quick

Another difficult race but at least this time I was having hardware gremlins, my throttle often sticking at 50%. Thing it needs some TLC but I'm going to struggle to get to it in my physical state :( Will try.

Love this track in anything.
Wasn't too far of the pace, took evasive action to avoid ramming Dieter at T1 and spun, lost loads of time
but carried on, maybe Pete might be slowed with his battle. But I was too keen on the power and stuffed the car.

Ah well.

At the front it was close.

we have a small grid, but the race`s are very close at the front  :scooter:.

First 2 laps i had fps issue`s, and lost 2 place`s. Then i tried to save my tires at the back. But in doing that, i think i went in sleeping modus  ;D ;D, and missed totally my braking point after the long back straight. Did some evassive manuevres to avoid Frex and lost some time.

Luckily i had some pace and moved back the order, only the last 2sec was impossible top close (only a mistake from frex gave me the win).
