This race will be a rolling start following a formation lap and the procedure is as follows:

*It will be the pole sitter's responsibility to complete the first lap at a pace that allows the rest of the grid to follow comfortably
*There should be no overtaking or hard accelerating/braking
*Drivers should avoid getting too far behind or too close to the driver in front
*Approximately 20 seconds before crossing the start line the pole sitter should slow down to a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*Each following driver shall close up directly behind the driver in front also maintaining a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*The pole sitter should maintain that speed until they cross the start line and then accelerate away to start the race (lap2)
*Each following driver should only accelerate when the driver directly ahead does (they do not have to wait until crossing the start line)
*No overtaking is allowed before crossing the start line at the completion of the formation lap


Practice: 20:00 GMT (30 mins)
Qual 2: 20:30 (15 mins)

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 Racing Experience from Steam, and have the Euro and American Track Packs for this series (And maybe another non pack track occasionally)
(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.

Hmm.. i have to say i thought it would be the Enduro race with DP cars next in the sequence.

Oscher's going to be a difficult one, the track gives very little rest. That long LHer is going to be interesting!

Yep, it will need a bit of practice to lap consistently here but it's a rewarding track to drive once you get a rhythm.

The multiclass races and Aquila races are every 4 weeks whereas the GTR3 races are every 2 weeks.

managed to complete a pitstop which is a miracle in itself, came out of the pits, and the car was nothing like it was
from the race start to pits. Steering was wildly high geared, the back end was all over the road, handling
was completely different. And no it wasn't cold tyres, this was like another car. Went off twice tyring to get a grip
on the weird handling, and left after the 2nd bash. I hate pitstops. did I menti0on that  whistling

Hey Gents

What a race, what a disaster.. John and I where having a good scrap.. Till the round of pitstops.. Every time I wanted to confirm my tyres and fuel it just cancelled the pitstop. I drove through 3 times and the 4th time the game unstood my confirm.. I was catching G but the made 2 big mistakes, so I had to settle for 3rd..

Well done John you diserved the win.. Well done all..

Well that was another exciting race  sweatdrop

Made a couple of mistakes on lap 2 which allowed Greg to sneak through and then spent the next 25 minutes trying to work out how I was going to get past. My plan was to rely on my team KC crew to perform their usual magic at the pitstop which worked but unfortunately I misjudged the pit limit and was given a drive through  Hit with a wet fish Re-pitted and got confused with the options losing an age so spent remainder of race lapping with no-one to chase or be chased by  :'(

On a positive note, the Ruf once again was a brilliant drive and we all remembered the rolling start  thumbup1

Shame to read about all these pit issues. The menu is fiddly and poorly implemented but I've always been able to make it do what I want. Admittedly, in the heat of a race with the pressure and panic things do get confusing but are you guys *sure* you're pressing the right buttons and selecting the right options? (dons flame suit...)

My pit keys were fine. Last time I had not set any, so was helpless, this time I did a practice stop, and the scroll keys all
worked. I had to cycle through a couple fo times to get it to high light the accept, but it did do it.
My problem was what it did to the car. It was like the car physics had been changed for a different car. or the default setup perhaps
but it felt way more violent than just a setup change.

Hey Jim

I just pressed the confirm pit stop button once and the my pit was canceled..this happened 3 times.. It's extremely annoying as John and myself where hammer and tong at it for 35 minutes, just to have all the fun taken away by a stupid pit button issue.. Anyway it is what it is.. I was really flat out on the limits to stick with that Ford.. Its toooo quick.. The tracks with long straights are going to be a challenge, but challenge accepted..

Great race I really thought the ford would struggle a lot on this track on this track, so I really worked quite a long time on the set up, tweaking it here and there which really paid off for this race. Spent first half of the race toe to toe with Ant great racing bud really enjoyed that  Grin then he went wide out of the last corner and I took my opportunity to get past ...only for a couple of laps though then time to pit! so my figure were crossed after the last race with 4 pit stops due to incorrect fuel from my crew. but this time it went well (put the fuel on normal rather than specifying the amount)! Shame Ant had PS troubles as it was a lonely run to the line. Good race good track looking forward to the next one!

The less said the better really. Lost count of the number of times i reset the car setup and tweaked it again! Getting into it at the begining felt so different, with so much understeer on corner exit. But then find too much oversteer on entry. I guess i'm finding the car a bit unpredictable so might look to drive something else.
