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) 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.
(4) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=318&theme=5)

Special Notes: Some of the cars have a "Modern Compound" tyre choice. Can I ask that all drivers do not use these tyres please.

The cars not run at the cancelled Kyalami event have been included in the choices for this race

Tony are these files essential to race here, or nice to have for drivers of those cars?  ???

Nice to have

Thanks.Bloody iPad .

Thanks for links to the patches.

Still not sure if I can make this one, but I'll be in the 312P if I can.

Bum, was just too late!
GLA

Good race despite low numbers. Spent most of time taking it in turns with Tony to fall off, then I got a bit faster
and he fell off more, had some fun with Pelle on the last few laps after his pit for fuel.  :D
Bolton beat Maranello 1-0

I used to dislike Sepang but started to like it!

Always fun in these cars. Only 1 lap down in my litthe Chevron so I am happy  :)

Pity you had to leave early Bill. Congrats to the amazing Ferrari duo.

Ha Haaa... moment of glory. First in the P2.0 Class...

now where did I leave my Magnum Moet&Chandon ?

Yes too bad with the pit stop, but I did not know that Matra 650 spent so much fuel, was number 2 after Sqter as it happened 3 or 4 laps before the finish & unfortunate in the pit too, I forget to say NO tire change  :o ...but it gave us a very exciting ending to the race - damn you were quick on the straights  :thumbup1:

@Tony: Lap 1 T1...hehe Tony, Ferrari 512 vs Matra 650  :laugh:

Big grats Sqter, Geoffers &  ???

Small grid last night but that didn't seem to detract from the racing. I spent almost the whole evening behing Matt who was taming the Chevron Cosworth, brave choice that mate.
Although Geoffers and Sqter were driving similar hardware to my own I had no chance against there tremendous pace. To bad Pelle had short fueled as that robbed him of 2nd.
This circuit has grown on me a lot since I first drove it. Get the lines and braking right and it's a joy, go a bit wide and it will spit you into the gravel, no probs.
Next time were here in the TMC cars. I've tried the Alfa already and it's great.

Was quite good fun race despite the low turnout, thanks to Sqter for making it more interesting than it might otherwise have been. Sqter was quite a bit faster than me but kept me company for most of the race.

Car was quite good for the first half of the race, but then the front tyres went off & my laptimes dropped by 3-4s. After a bit of an 'off' Pelle went by & I had settled for 3rd place but in the end I came very close to winning with Pelle having to pit for fuel & then Sqter going off track. Sqter caught me again at the end of the last lap & I didn't put up any resistance at the last turn as I didn't really deserve to win after Sqter had slowed up so many times. :surrender:

Congrats to Sqter  :clap: & bad luck to Pelle  :(.

Alex, before you joined I said I was only there to learn the track for the Tina/Alfa/Falcon race next week.

Got home at weekend, after a week in Harz Mountains, about 2130 and grandsons arrived at about 00.30.  So all in all was shattered with no track time so took opportunity to try and learn track.  Quit as soon as I got lapped so as not to spoil other people's races.
