All members welcome. Grid/server capacity: 28 Practice: ~19:20 (60 mins) Qualifying: 20:20 (20 mins) Race: 20:40 (20 laps) Track: Virginia International Raceway Download thisCars allowed: Shelby Cobra Pack Download this, Shelby Cobra 289/427. Car restrictions: Rank 1 to 8 - 240kW or 261kW spec Cobra's Rank 9 to 16 - any of the above plus 320kW or 354kW spec Cobra's This race will use the UKGTL Skin Pack 1.8.0.0. Time of Day Setting: 14:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Server: simracing.org.uk SCC 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

Not sure whether I'll make this one.
New track for me and away over the weekend without PC/Internet - so no time for practicing.
But maybe it's easier than I expect.

If it's the same track that I've raced in UKGPL, then it's quite a difficult one to master, but relatively easy to learn the layout.

Running at 9/10th's pace this place is a joy to drive. At 10/10th's it's as tough as they get. Truly a big boy track. Scary super technical fast corners with weird curbing that you will have to use if you want a fast fast lap. Then mixed with very awkward increasing radius slow corners that will drive you nuts. Anyone wants to reach the end should put some practice time in here

Back home - thanks guys - installed and recognized the track. Embarrassing . I think I never drove a race here before, but did some practice laps with some cars from GC MuscleCarLeague a long time ago. However - try to practice tonight and I'll be there tomorrow

We used this once before, but the short track rather than this layout. I am managing 2:15s on race fuel at the moment, but have only manged to complete 2 or 3 laps without losing it somewhere....

I just did my first couple of laps and worked on setup. It's quite challenging to put a clean lap together, but that makes it fun! I've uploaded my setup if anyone wants to try it out (it's for the 261 kW Cobra).

Considering I 1: don't much like Cobras, and 2: I am goldfish in them I seem to be doing quite well so far... and the next event is GreenHell Muhahahahahahahahaaaaaa I love it there, but usually don;t finish. Good race, managed to out qual Mark, though my race pace was more cautious, if Hristo hadn;t have bumped him who knows but as it was I fell off less so stayed in front.

Yeah, sorry about it, Mark! I wasn't planning on passing there but the car didn't stop as well as I expected it, but I still managed to keep the inside line. I guess you just wasn't expecting me to be there and so contact was made. Sadly you flipped over, even if it was a rather light touch. Go figure... @Navin NP, I sort of followed your line and braking point, ended up losing it as well and spun you around. Shame about your off afterwards, though I must say it seemed quite spectacular as you went so high up the air lol.
