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

Special Notes: None

Have a mismatch problem despite downloading the linked track and un-installing the earlier track and installing the correct one.  Just for luck un-installed it and reinstalled it again and couple of times - no luck.

Help please.

The server track is out of date. No time to fix now, just about to leave to visit relative in Hospital but will fix tonight.

Not really sure Bill, but I have heard it mentioned that deleting the HAT file can sometimes cure this. Worth a try anyway, it's at UserData>LOG>HAT just delete the Jarama file.

Edit: I should have read Tony's post

Well that was the most frustrating, toughest, most tiring yet the most fun race I've had here.

Was waiting for Syd to make a mistake for the first 20 laps had Legzy right up my jacksie too but then I spun at the start of the strait which put me down to 3rd but managed to catch Legzy back up cos I thinks he spun a bit then with 2 laps to go we caught up with Syd again then an unlucky nudge made them spin and I managed to slide passed.

My first pole here and my first win so well happy.

See you for the next one I can make.

Well what an excellent race   with a rather unfortunate ending  

Clung on (just) to the tails of Syd & Quicksilver the whole race long, then with about 15 laps to go, QS fell off & I was in second. Then I span but stayed ahead of the now recovered QS & we moved up to catch Syd quite quickly. Was more difficult than normal following as Syd's strengths/weaknesses on this track seemed to be the opposite of mine & Qs's, leading to numerous slamming on the anchors! lol

Unfortunately with two & a half laps to go, running out of time I was trying to apply more pressure & look for half an opening when I clipped Syd & he span & I went off wide . Decided I had to take a drive through for my sin & tried to send a chat "sorry" with my preconfigured buttons, but they all came up with "lol / hello / go team oldie" (which I'm sure didn't improve Syd's mood. Sorry mate.

Anyway, a few turns later, heading down the hill to the extra slow wiggly bit, I saw Syd flying down behind me like he was on a straight with no chance of braking so I pulled away from the turn to avoid an imminent smash up & I saw Syd fly off Dukes of Hazard style towards a wall. I drove round & did my drive through & was pleased to see Syd pass me while I was in there, but I guess the Alfa was pretty damaged after that as I quickly caught & passed.

Congrats to QS on the win & sorry again to Syd for the spin
