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=319&theme=5)

Stig

Are you going to place any restrictions on how many times we drive each car?

Not for this series Bill Thomas. I wanted a "no-thought" let's just race kinda affair.

I've added a quick poll at the top of this thread regarding race length.

Please vote

Will try to join this one. At 5 pm german time I have aa appointment
with the eye doctor. Hope that I'm able to see something later.

Thank you Tony for all your activities. Really great work. :thumbup1: :thumbup2:

 :tank:

My GTA runs out of revs for the last part of the straight, if it didn't it would probably be competitive, but I am
a couple of seconds behind the Flacon so far. Not tried Tina yet.

No Flacon's in this event mate. You mean the Mustang?

Ahhhh ,yes them horsey things
"repeat after me - I must read the top post, I must read the top post, I mus......."

No - it's just the age in combination with working the whole day at the Computer  ;)

Will miss this as I have to work tonight sadly, wish I was there with you!

GGrrr..carpy ATI cards  ::) Been suffering with intermittent black screens and other troubles ever since I bought this heap of junk. Tried everything to fix it but I give up. Must have over a dozen blackouts in race, thankfully with no-one around me but the last one was longer and I ended up dropping through space. Hehehe, just had another one typing this  ::)

Not happy.

You sure that cards seated properly? Are random blacks screens due to a card failure or a week connection?

Replay and results now posted

Nah, it's a common problem with 5850 cards, as I found out after I bought it  ::) Overclocked it , underclocked it, even managed to change the voltage (that's a story in itself).

Complete junk. waste of money, time, effort and errrrr electricity :thumbdown:

Good race. Was a bit baffled with what car to use. Times suggested Alfa was fastest, then Mustang and Tina
slowest, yet the Tina was the only one that wasn't on the limiter at the end of the straight so took him
was not on the pace of the front runners, but had some good tussles with Tibs, Eiffel, Sqrtr, and later Geoffers
who was catching slowly, but I thought I should stick it in 1st gear rather than 3rd so I could spin and let
him catch and pass  :laugh:

So I managed to forget to engage brain/1st gear at the start and consequently was last heading down the hill. Made up a couple of places before arriving at Geoffers spectacular spin on Lap 2 and even though I tried to cut across the lawn to escape his vehicle I was drawn to it like a moth to a light. After that I only gained places due to retirements and had a lonely race trying to catch Eifelblitz but his pace was constant with my own. Still thought it was an entertaining race on a great circuit. And nice to see all three makes represented.
Wonder what Sepang will bring?

Ahem, yeh sorry about that to anyone who got involved  ::). I turned into T2 a bit early, got up on the kerb & got a bit out of shape. Would have got it sorted but failed to take into account Goldtop's Mustang just in front, bumped into the back of him, GT carried on OK but I did several pirouettes! :o. Got hit a couple of times but once I got going again the car drove fine. Still had good fun tearing around mostly on my own for the rest of the race & luckily got 4th when both Sqter & Matt spun late in the race.

Congrats to Cossy, Ade & Phil.  :thumbup2:
