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) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=267&theme=5)
(4) 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

After the recent test race it was discovered that the Jag MkII has a delicate engine. If you drive it hard the engine will quickly expire. If you watch the revs and don't exceed 6000rpm you will be fine.
I have added another car to this series, the Daimler V8. There are two versions. The white car suffers in the same way as the Jag MkII however the red car has no problems.
I will continue to investigate if there is a fix for the Jag.

 ;D Didn't I write off a mini here a few weeks ago?  :o

I wrote off lots of Astons in practice - very expensive.  :D

Not in this series tho I hope Bill.

Indded you did sir. And now you get the chance to write off something a little larger, enjoy.  ;D

Can I place a bet on Ade's Cortina winning this!  :laugh:

So the Falcon isn't restricted in this one then?
I'm not using it either way, I can't stand it. Just wanted to point it out.

That's correct. Restrictions begin again next time at Brands Hatch. There was a reason for this but TBH I've completely forgotten what it was  ::)
I could apply restrictions but at this late date it might upset drivers who had already spent time practising.

Sorry guys - can't make this one.

Dogsitting with my nieces dog - a very nice young Border Collie girl -
which requires some hours of engagement.

Have fun.

Lovely little track had a quick practice in the cortina :)

Short and spontaneous one for me.
Came back home just in time for quali, had to install a new internet connection (don't know why - but then it worked) and entered the game with 10 minutes left in quali.
Could only find one online setup so I made some laps for last place on the grid and then thought:
try to modify this setup and drive just for fun without testing.

That spontaneous setup wasn't that bad but I did my lap in last place - as usual on this track.
After some laps - don't know which one exactly - I left the track due to a turner and disappeared in the nirvana of the green - that was it for me.

 ;D

Disco again!!  :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:

Left due to too many laps on a small track, just kind of lost interest really & then started making little mistakes & dropping down the feild. Would have been good as a 25-30 min event.

Congrats to the podiums.

Five laps to go for me and suddenly I was on my own. Left the race and had the usual message in the forum that I had re-connected and welcome back to Altbierbude etc etc. I have my connection set in the lobby as ISDN. Is this right?

I've used the recommended ISDN setting for many years.
Saw some lagging when I overtook you. Think you just disco-ed. Your car was stuck on track.

OK, thanks Alex

Replay and results now posted.

 :clap: :clap: :clap: Congratulations to Ade, who with his 2nd place tonight, clinched the Championship title.  :clap: :clap: :clap:

Great fun. was a bit quicker in the Falcon but took Miss Tina as she used tyres less
Fell off too many times, but caught Phil and Tibs eventually and had some good times
swapping placese till I got up the outside of Phil's wayward tank once too many times
and lost it into the fence
Good racing all. Grat to Mike for awesome pace, and Ade for nearly getting there
Sory if I worried you down the straight Ade, I was always  going to give you room at the end  ;)

Well that was a lot closer than I was expecting. Ade nearly got there. I had to make my Falcon quite wide the last 2 laps. I fully expected Ade to hold back to get a run down the hill on the last lap. He closed down a 10 second gap in the last 8 laps or so. My tires were down to their cords. Great race Ade. Kerbies 1-2-3!

Congrats on the championship title Ade!

Cheers guys :) and well done the Kerbies :thumbup2: thanks to Tony for another great season :thumbup1: two races to go with the presure off.

                                                                           Cheers Ade

Action packed 60 minutes. First half close racing with Tony and Legzy. Great stuff  :thumbup1:
Second half hunted down by Syd who come just one lap short of catching me  :sweatdrop:

Congrats to Ade & the Kerb Krawlers for a Britisch Saloon Car Clean Sweep.

Congrats Ade on taking the championship, thoroughly well deserved. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Also well done to my Kerbie team-mates on a clean sweep of the podium.  ;D

My tires hit a cliff at lap 54. Look at the Gaps Graph to see how quickly Ade closed in on me.
