Car restrictions: None.

RACE ONE (Crystal Palace)
Practice: ~19:20 (60 mins)
Qualifying: 20:20 (10 mins)
Race: 20:30 (15 laps)

RACE TWO (Goodwood) will follow, with same rules

Time of Day Setting: 14:00
Start: STANDING
Tyre wear: Normal
Fuel consumption: Normal
Pit stops: Not required

Server: simracing.org.uk Monday
Password: see above (#post_event_password)

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.
(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

We did use these a few times in our NoGrip races, always a good laugh. Not raced them for many years now though!

Accidentally chose the #181 car yesterday.

This one has no sound - updating the .car-file with the correct .aud-name solves it.

Did not check all other cars.

Thanks Kurt. I have been through all the car files and found two others that need a sound fix. They are cars #LS37 & #LS66.

I will post here later with a patch link.

Thanks Tony for providing the fix.  :thumbup1:
Otherwise I would have done it myself, but I was away over an extended weekend.

For future reference: Cars showing as AC Cobra are not broken. It's just that the Modder didn't create Icons or Movies for that car.

Thanks for this short fun series to whoever cobbled it together. :thumbup2: Welcome to the new faces and the old ones and grats to the podiums.

My 2 races could have ( should have?) seen better results, but that in no way diminished the fun of throwing these cars around two iconic British tracks.

Crystal Palace was a learning curve as regards getting to grips with the nippy little Lotus 7. The biggest issue was the return of the TTS ( Terminal Tankslapper Syndrome ) within my setup. I should have remembered that reducing the steering ratio usually solves that...... I plead old age!!

A couple of TTS "offs" in race 1 dropped me down the field and a seriously irritating TTS episode at Goodwood in Race 2 dropped me from the lead into the midfield, but I still ended the evening with a smile, but that could be an indication of the onset of senility ?

Two very different races for me.  :-\

Crystal Palace went really well. Dan as usual shot off the line & passed me into T2 & then promptly spun across my path which I think helped him as I pushed his car pointing back in the correct direction. Now in the lead I was able to pull away to a comfortable win helped by Daz pitting from 2nd place (am I correct in saying inadvertently?).

Goodwood was a different matter as I really seemed to be struggling for pace, so much so that when Daz was nearly 1.5s faster in qually I checked my pedals to make sure I was getting full throttle, which I was  ???. Race started & things got worse, two early off track moments dropped me to the back of the field before I encountered Kurt's stranded car on the exit of Woodcote, tried to avoid it but just clipped it & spun out. None of that mattered though as a lap later the game froze approaching St Mary's, minimised it & got it back up but was out of the race in the paddock. Oddly this happened at the last Goodwood race, BSCC back in January & at the exact same point on the track too  ???.

Anyway watched the rest of the race which maybe answered why I was slow, too high gearing  ::). No idea why I had not spotted that in testing.

Congrats to Dan on the Goodwood win & to the others on the podiums.  :clap: :clap:
