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

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.

Looking good  :)

Nice Banner aswell Spanner  :thumbup1:

 Looking good, Spanner. :thumbup1:

Valencia?

Not in the UK last time I checked.

Oh and the dates wrong. Sack your proof reader.

Unlikely that I'll make any of these, but good luck with the series.


While you're at it, Donington has one 'n'  ;)

I see you guys are full of positive energy on Friday 13th. :P

:lol:  What's this!? Spanner being "Spannered"!?

I'm sorry mate, I live a dull life - I can't hide that this amuses me greatly.

We've had to wait a long time  :P  ;)

Hasnt stopped many 'british' series from going abroad, F3, brit GT, plus i do include BTCC going to Mondello :P

Doesn't make it right though  ::) :P

la la la, i cant hear anyone! :walkman:

Mondello...now theres a good track  8)  always had great races there in GTL days, shame it doesnt get used more for P&G or these TC's.

Like the banner, always adds to the flavour  :)  Just hope i can make the races  :-\

Mondello! a good track? Really?

There's a reason it doesn't appear in the forthcoming list you know  ::)

Good luck with your first series Spanner. BTW it will get easier and even old hands make mistakes. Like me last night forgetting that there was no qually session and having to boot everyone out to the lobby so that I could fix it.  :oops:

Nowt wrong with this track config! :-  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondello_Park

In the early glory days of GTL with full grids, we had some corking races there.

No it has three  :P ;)

Yeah, like three in total and the last was in 2007. (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&location=13&circuit=25)
That's not what I'd equate to "popular"
But your right about the grid sizes  :-\

Live in the now dude!

Results and Replays posted

If Daniel would like to put his hand up and be counted i can amend the results.

Roadrunner`s my Race07 name...completly forgot about that  ;D, will remember next time!

good fun that, not been much of a touring car fan for years, but these do look great from the cockpit with a decent grid jostling around you in very close action.  8) The racing is close and intense though it takes some getting used to sitting on someones rear bumper into tight corners and chicanes.  :o

1st race was great, plenty of battles throughout and position changes, but sadly all went pear shaped when i got a rear left onto the grass at T2 with only 4mins remaining and span  :(

2nd race...some rascal smashed into my backside at T4 on the first lap and dropped me from 11th to dead last and about 10secs down on the whole field   ::) Not what you need in these cars as its nigh on impossible to remake the time up with the cars running so close lap times. However i was gifted a good fight for half the race when one or two other drivers had incidents and it led to some great chase fighting for many laps with Tibs & Matt. Matt got a wheel off with only 2 laps left and i nipped past. Stayed close to Tibs for many laps but couldnt quite get close enough. Good stuff.  :)

Hm, tried the Alfa, my first FWD car. Must say I didn't find it very enjoyable, beemer is much more fun. My slower laptimes are probably more due to not knowing how drive this car and how to set it up, how the diff in front influences driving, etc. Quali set was ok but as soon as I added fuel it became rear happy and my usual setup corrections didn't work the way I thought they would. So I had to drive more slowly, else the mistakes start to happen, as they had in the second race. All in all this is good fun, probably more so if you're not far away in front. ;)

Nice to see more faces on the grid. :)

Man, how I missed these races.
After a few months away from the PC steering wheel, I was a bit lost with the driving tbh.  :P
1st race was an epic WTCC race, great fight and driving from Spanner and Picnic.
2nd race was nice aswell, but with less drama.
A fantastic evening as usual at SROUK.

Cheers

But Paulo, you didn't win  :o ??? ;)

Yea, it some AI driver named Daniel. :D

Thanks all, that was a brilliant first race if i was a bit rusty from such close racing. Remembering the last race we had i dont think i was too far the front so i guess this time taking the honda helped! PR's jumped start (come on, must have been!) at the beginning meant i was stuck behind all first race, allowing Pete to join in. With a few laps to go i started struggling with the tyres and dropped back. Second race got a bit hectic and i ended up dropping to the back but trying to close back up i ended up going a bit wide through the last corner then got on the grass and spun straight into the barriers which killed it!

Hope to see you all next week!

A nice good start, hein?  :D
I must see the replay but I believe I gainned 5 or 6 places.  ;D

Yeah, beemer will do that for ya, nothing like a RWD for the start. 8)
