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 especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Experience from Steam, and have the Euro Track Pack
(4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit.

(5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface)
Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

Matt, just wondering if qualy could be reduced to 10 mins as it's such a short circuit? Maybe start the race earlier? Just a thought.

[phspok]

Could do, I am just using times that people will be familiar with. If I change to earlier starts some might not pick up on it.?

[Geoffers]

Downloaded RRE & got it running OK, still need to d/l the car set & European Track Pack, but hopefully I will be giving this a try.

Great stuff Geoff. This car set is different than the others we have tried so far, it's more P&G and niot so demanding as the others
hot lapping will not be inspirational, but I think it will make for some close racing.
the Group 5 car set is challenging, and I rather liked the DTM92 set we used.
I am trying to get a short series together for this sim, at the moment we are just testing the various  cars
from the more traditional years. The next one after this will be a spec race with possibly the BMW M1 if it's any use.

All sounds good to me 

Just a note that following the last update the Touring Classics cars are now on a par pace wise with the DTM '92 cars. The Datsun is rumoured to be a bit too quick but seems about the same as the other TC cars around the twisty Brands Indy.

I like the VOlvo in this set, it's great fun, I found the Nissan a bit sloppy, perhaps they've tightened it up some.

I'll be in the smaller Beemer. Cost me £0.84 in a discount sale weekend before last.

Well done Geoffers  Just a note that by having downloaded RR you will already have all the content on your pc. When you purchase cars/tracks it unlocks them instantly so no more downloading except when there is an update/patch released.

BTW this might help get the best out of their complex purchase model...

I've found it best to pre purchase the VRP in bulk to get the best value and then buy content as you need it. Keep a look out for their sales/special offers and also any Steam sales which come round and are independent of RR.

[Geoffers]

Thanks GT, already bought the car pack & the circuit & found that it simply unlocks what you already have.

Test drove the M3 last night, just going to give it a try at Brands.

I bought a BMW for less than 2 quid, did a few laps and now I'm top of the leader board,   get in.....

Until you lot get in there 

[phspok]

Crazy boy 
I think GT has apoint, they don't feel as sloopy as I remembered, and the 635 is surprisingly quick
I get all cars within 2 tenths, The Nissan is a bit more of a handful, but is maybe slightly quicker
if you can be consistent with it, which err I can't...

But I think Swedish cars have a bit more oomph

I've strangled a 48.1 out of the big BMW. My stats say my best lap is a 47.55, don't know when that was

[simon loynes]

The game must only be showing me BMW times because that's all I've bought
