Championship Standings

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.

Someone please remind me my Mercedes setup doesn't have enough fuel... Oh bother, too late. What a halfwit...

Great start, great fight with Tudor... until my talent ran out. I seriously ran out of road, when I was faffing with the pit menu. Then two pitstops, to get some fuel onboard. Ah well, atleast I finished tonight... 

Grats Tudor, Pete, Mark and Dieter.

I wondered what had happened to you Eck. Was a good close race up until then.

I was worried that Dieter was going to make a quick start and drive away down the long straight as his sector 2 time was blisteringly quick but he seemed to get away slowly. Thankfully the Merc and the bimmer seemed quite even in a straight line so I was just about able to keep ahead.

Yep, my usual snail-like creep off the line saw me zip straight into last place..! I do struggle with RRE starts as the autoclutch is horrible. Maybe I should try manual again or does it still break gearboxes?

Always seem to have a messy opening lap too - I guess not enough care with cold brakes/tyres. Still a nice race, especially with Spanner - good fun. Apology to Matt however for the clumsy overtake at the hairpin - I just couldn't get it stopped and probably seemed like I was trying to run you off the road. A bit of a Rosberg moment, sorry..

Congrats podium.
