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=283)

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.

Sorry for being so late on the post for this one. :(

I need to learn the track quickly now. ::)

Club? :no:
Sorry H@l, I appretiate your efforts, it's just that I feel this track wasted on a measly Club class. I'll be there, of course. :D

bugger!, i had a rare evening free last night and could have praccied for this !  ::)

will have to get some last minute laps in. Should be able to attend tomorrow....hopefully.

Have you actually driven it yet TT?

The track is very narrow compared to other versions and the track is pretty bumpy especially around the first half

wow, if you thought Istanbul was bumpy you wait until you do some laps here !  my virtual teeth got shaken out!!  :P Not sure zaandy is that bumpy but it was built on sand dunes after all in the 60's. Flipping challenge getting your dampers right! and my car was still grounding out with 7f, 9rear ride height!  :o

The cars feel wicked being hussled around here though, really enjoyed just doing half hour praccy.  8) I think you get much better feedback and feel in evo than GTR2, far more involving driving a GT car in it.  

Just a thought, but i take it because these evo/race posts are under 'announcements' does that mean outsiders taking a look-see wouldnt see it? ie.. if we put a link to this race on another website will it show up? Was going to try a cheeky heads up over at RD. Would be worth putting on No-grip too.  :)

Hey I'm new here. just joined today, and I'd love to get in on this. what time zone are the times listed in? or does automatically adjust to my local time (mountain time US/Canada UTC-7:00)? really hope to see you guys out there tomorrow   ;D

welcome onboard Muskrat, always good to see new faces  :)

Times are British summer time. If you google timezone conversions it should let you pop in your local time and convert to BST. Hope to see you on track.


ps...i stuck a cheeky ad for our race at RD. See if it generates any other new faces.  :)

You're right, Spanner. Club class suits this track, though it's always hard for me to set up this class' cars - not enough power to simulate power oversteer, so I get good tyres for 5 laps only. :( 

bahh. another one I will miss with earning a living.
Just a note.....UK Time went forward last weekend, so colonials may get caught out as I seem to remember
that Amercian time changes a week after or before UK does.  :o

Unlikely to make this.

Also, still undecided as to how I feel about Race/Evo :-\. (i.e. it does not excite me like it does MJ, but I'm not against it either... I'm just in the middle at the moment)

bah, i numptied my own race...again  ::)

qualied a great 2nd place just a few tenths behind TT and looking forward to a close tough race.

When the lights changed to green i changed up to soon to 2nd and the car just bogged down whilst almost the whole grid sped past  ::)  but made a brilliant comeback and got past everyone except the front 2 by end of lap 1  :)  only to then get a cold tyre on an outside kerb on the penultimate corner that sent my car spinning around and back to the back again lol  :-[
It was then crazy catch up time and i stupidly overdrove it for several laps and lost more time than i gained trying to catch the field.  :( with cold tyres and brakes it was disastrous.
Rest of race was spent playing lonely hotlapper though i did catch JPS eventually and one other AI car before i pitted.

Finished a lonely 5th, shame as would have had a cracker upfront fighting TT and Ade and would have been interesting to see how our tyres faired with different setups and cars.
Oh well, always next time. ;)

Congrats to TT and Ade, fine drives  8)

Raced in a dummy car. ;)
Race was great, dicing with Ade as we obviously had very differently set up car and so each of us was faster on a different track section. 8) Right up to his pit-stop, where I think there was a car in Ade's stall? Bad luck buddy, would be a superb action to the end otherwise. :(

Dummy car Vertigo was suited well for this track. How was Viper, H@l. :P Saw you struggling in practice the other day already - grats for courage to take it. :)

Grats pody and all, too bad there's so few drivers willing to participate. :( 

I might try and join in on the next one TT to make up the numbers depending on where and when the next one is.

Good news, JPS, glad to have ya. 8)
