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.

Hmm i need to forget practising the track and just practise my starts ::)  Interesting first race right at the end with Lazlow falling off making a good race with TT then falling off letting us both past. Good fun.
Second race wasnt quite as much fun! Saw Tibs and GT come together in the first corner, tried aiming behind him thinking he would move forward but think he started reversing as i hit him. Ended up with quite some front end damage and tried circulating round but was too far off. Saw TT drop out so thought i'd stick in another lap to gain the points ;)

Yep, not the best move I've seen Tibs make at T1, particularly as I'd left plenty of room :( No message received so I guess he thought that was ok  :-\

Not really, I was going to check the replay before I commented on it since I couldn't remember it clearly. I know it was my fault though, so sorry for that. I can assure you it wasn't intentional, just bad driving.

I did back off slightly after T1 but with a pack this close it's not easy to do. I've got in trouble for it slowing down mid-pack at that stage in the race before as well. I was just about to pull over on the T2/3 straight and let you catch up when you disconnected. :(

Disco'ed :(. Did finish the race in 20:16 so would have won it ;). Was looking forward to race 2 as it was pretty close timewise.
