(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.

Special Notes: The grid procedure for Race 07 events is slightly different from GTL/GTR2. Upon joining the grid, you won't be able to rev your engine until all drivers are present on the grid. Do not attempt to esc back to garage or you will be DQ'd.

oh dear, only 5 attendees  :( sorry i didnt make it in the end, had other distractions. Odd that touring cars only attracts so few here. Its massively popular over at RD, perhaps you TC fans should look to their shores for better action.  :-\

Even with 5 drivers it was an enjoyable event as we were quite close together pace wise. :) Was able to pass and come to the front in the first race but made some mistakes and lost places. Also I was slow through the final chicane and that caused some grief to the drivers behind. :D Was the slowest anyway and my last place was well deserved. That meant I was in front in the second race. Made a good start and gained a whole second. Was able to hold the first few laps and Gazza was very polite in not being too pesky. He was clearly faster but not in right places. :)

Would be better with more people but 5 is enough for a tense event if the laptimes are close. :)

Oh dear, another poorly attended Race07 event. A shame as the racing is usually superb.

Let's hope for a good turnout next time (and that I'm able to attend  ::)) as Oulton has to be the best track for these cars both in RL and in simworld.

I was half expecting you to say we'd can this as we'd got down to similar attendance to the Cats. I hope there are more racers in 2 weeks time.

Couldnt reproduce the the practice times for some reason but made the races fun, both stuck to TT's bumper but never close enough in the right places. Would of taken a major risk to try a pass but probably would of ended both our races  ::)

Sorry for the tap in race one, i tried to let you back passed but with everyone so close it caused a bit of mayhem  :P

Shame about the lack of people as this is good fun for a quick blast.

It had crossed my mind  :-\

As the saying goes: use it or lose it folks.
