All members welcome. Grid/server capacity: 28 Practice: ~19:20 (60 mins) Qualifying: 20:20 (20 mins) Race: 20:40 (16 laps) Cars allowed: Aston Martin DBR1 Download this, Ferrari 250 Testarossa Download this, Jaguar D-Type Download this, Mercedes 300SL Download this, Maserati 450S Download this, Aston Martin DBR2 (includes GTC-65 class fix) Download thisDrivers are reminded that they are restricted to two drives per make. Check your status hereTrack: Sebring 1970 Download thisTime of Day Setting: 14:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Server: simracing.org.uk FIFT 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) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page(4) 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. Special Notes: This race is flag started. However the flagman is out of sync with the in-game countdown and you could get a stop/go for a jumped start if you go with the flag. I would strongly suggest that the in-game countdown is switched on for this race.

Don't like this track Airport = Flat = Boring. Well, there are exceptions but I do agree with you on this one GT Heads up mates. If we are leaving the "cut tracks" on there are many places where you can get away with a lot of cutting exiting the corner very wide but if you exit the corner that leads onto the last long backstraight and are not within the painted lines you will get a warning. Keep in mind the painted lines and not the cones on this one corner. Most corners you may get right up next to the cones but not on the back straight. Revised: Turn one will get you a warning if you get too close to the cones as well. No real track lines there either. Good luck .

Hi Navin, wondered where you had got to. I can take cuts off for this one, no problem. Generaly if cuts are on and drivers don't like then post it and I'll turn them off.

Thanks Tony been having trouble here because as Navin says track cuts are inconsistent. Off line, other cars really cut some corners - as can be seen by tracks through the grass.

Agreed that cut warnings are very unpredictable here and I too think that leaving cuts off would benefit the race. As always we can rest assured that anyone caught grass cutting will be dealt with severely by the cut police.
Look out also for the first big braking point on the lap as you will disappear through the sandbank and onward to boldly go where no man has gone before.

If you go wide and into barriers, in lots of places on this track, you'll just end up in oblivion. So be careful, and stay on the tarmac.

Unlucky Tony I had gotten the practice I would have liked & found myself lapping on my own, a couple of seconds extra per lap behind the next person & a couple of seconds per lap quicker than the driver behind, had a little offs & just decided to call time. Just wasn't feeling the love, my fault for the lack of praccy, though the differences in everybodies laptimes is concerning

Bad luck Tony and Syd. I too discoed in the lead with 2 laps to go @Legzy I think that's just the nature of the cars and their suitability to different tracks. I was slow in the merc too.
