Drivers are reminded that the maximum number of drives in any car is four. Check your status hereTime of Day Setting: 14:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Server: simracing.org.uk GTC Password: see aboveNotes: (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 pageSpecial Notes: None

Nice one Tony - excellent timing. The 2002TiiS is a beautiful drive after the Maserati 4.5L.

Five to go and it's too close to call between the top four. Car choice will be critical.................

Just done 3 laps in RSR, Squash Court (Tina Evolved), and 2002ti and I get 1:34.9 in all 3 with race fuel. Would go faster with some setup tweaking and practice, but it's more about which one will I fall off less in....

The old circuit always seems to produce a good race and these cars should go well here. Watch out for those sand dunes

Yes, A sort of disaster for me. Lap one turn 3 spinout from too much rear brake trying to avoid plowing into Berger. And then just the opposite a few laps later in turn one when I ran out of talent and collected Matt when I braked too late. I was trying to throw myself off line to avoid the hit which just helped me get over the wall and DOA. I am very sorry Matt for the hit . I went an entire season once without hitting anyone from behind. This year has been less than what I expect from myself . I'm glad to see you were able to soldier on and get a good finish . I have no excuses for this race as I had some decent practice time but just had a bad day today . Good thing is I hear the sun will still come up tomorrow . Cheers

Chuffed set new PBs in practice and qualifying - very near in race, which I think I could have beaten chasing Tony if I'd not had to fight off Navin and Syd. Engine bogged down a bit at start but caught up at T1, managed to avoid other driver's mishaps on lap 1 but soon had to battle against Navin until I braked on line for fast Right Hander and he went down the inside. We tried to give each other room but I had just a slight nudge but enough with me at my limit to run wide and brush the scenery - np Navin racing incident. Soon after that Syd caught up with me and I managed to hold him off through the bits with dunes each side as I was ahead of his "leading lag" (if you know what I mean ) was only level with me but as we entered the blind left hander followed by the adverse camber (?) right hander, his leading lag was ahead of me obscuring my view of the second corner. OMG , what do I do, as a result missed braking point and went off hitting some sollid scenery. By the time I'd got the car back under control I was on the start finish straight and I only found the damaged suspension when the car ran wide up the bank at T1. I got through the slower sections without mishap but lost it big time on a fast right hander and Eifleblitz pasted me whilst my car played at being a mountain goat. A couple of corners later I quit.

Bill, that's why I pitted cos I had collided with a fence!?! and damaged my suspension. Of course this left me a lap down on everyone but I didn't want to quit as I loved the Escort/track combo. It was a blast. Was having some good scrapping with Phspok until Navin decided he wanted to play too Hope everyone enjoyed that event as much as I did. And with car choice dwindling (for some) the next four circuits are fascinating prospects. Miss them at your peril.

Good track/car combo. ANother event where I seemed slower than I would have hoped for Was having some good tussles with Tony until he bent his car. Navin was apparently emulating the famous German Mr Schumacher with his bash up the back as I had Tony on the inside Copybook replay of the incident at Singapore Waited for TOny to unlap himself later on, and had some more chasing fun, but near the end he went off and we just drove round to finish. I watched Mark and Syd going at it down the straight and Syd was warping somewhat at that time, though not all the time.
