(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. Special Notes: None

Server was not running, so I started it withthe settings it had. I did a few laps to test cars. Is it meant to be a version without the chicanes?

After nearly ruining Misnoimis's race twice I thought it best to retire to the bar. I really should practice for these events! Congrats to the podium, cya next week.

Limited practice for this one being away until Saturday evening and it showed. One day I'll arrive on the grid with the proper amount of fuel in the tank. Dropped to a lower amount for the last practice session and completely forgot to fill it back up for the race. A 1998 sim like GPL has qualy and race set up's I keep forgetting it's a glaring omission from GTL. Was going quite well and even hung onto the back of Erling for a while until I put a wheel onto the grass into T1 Suddenly around lap 14 noticed I was running on fumes and to add insult to injury took my eyes off the road long enough to lose it entering the SF straight so decided now was a good a time as any to take the pain of a pit stop and listen to everyone hurtle past the other side of the pit wall. Rest of the race was pretty quiet, picked off a few Ferrari's and might have even had a chance at the group ahead but was mindful of Ziu who I knew was coming up behind so slowed to let him through and followed him home a lap down. See you all next week. TTFN John.

Was a good race. Was managing to keep Erling out of DRS range mostly, but then GTL minimised to desktop again cpu is getting very hot. I have set it to run on 4 cores, and the frame rate is awesome, was touching 300 at times I have the case off, and a big deskfan blowing a gale into the case, I have reseated the CPU cooler with a smear of silicone another smal case fan blowing at the CPU area inside. There seems to be a pattern, as in it does it after about 20 mins then when I maximise it it runs to the end no prob. Is very weird. I think my other system does it as well, I will find out next week, as I will be there not in Southport.

I managed a low 2m 08s in qualifying, the same as I had managed offline in practice and was satisfied with that. I think I misheard the bleep at the start and was a bit slow but got away with it. I was taking it steady for the first few laps, minding my own business when a much faster Geoffers, obviously recovering from a mishap, used my car to slow down at third gear right hand bend between the straights. I have been guilty of using this technique myself. It is usually because the car in front takes a corner slower than you expected. A pity because Geoffers was very quick. Anyway I got demoted from fifth to about eighth. After the bump I think the handling of my car was compromised. It was not terrible but felt more difficult and my pace was well down on my offline practice on full fuel. Somehow I made it back to sixth place to start with and then into fifth, I think someone must have retired and others had problems. My tyres wore at an alarming rate. By the last lap I had no rubber left. The back was breaking away on the slow corners even when taken really slowly. A combination of tyre ware and damage maybe. I managed a couple of half spins and lost two places on the last couple of corners I think taking Steve off on one occasion, sorry, it was like trying to drive on ice. However I enjoyed the qualifying but the race was lonely and uninteresting. Grats to winner and podiums and commiserations to those who had problems.

At least now no one can say that 13 is an unlucky number Anyway without Geoffers mistake on the first lap we could see several laps on low 2:06 between me and Geoffers also if so we finished the race on the rim wheels for sure. With Geoffers off i could go with a cruise step between 2:07.2 - 2:07.5, even more because i had a good advantage on Matt and Erling in the Ost Kurve so i not had need to push on the Motodrom saving my tires for the final laps. This is the 1979 track (we used with BMW Procar in 2016) without the Senna Kurve and the Clark Kurve, now why leave the yellow marker signs without this chicanes ? Sometime this can deceive especially after several laps......BOH ? What Sense has ? These things make me piss ! Grats to Matt and Grats To Erling PS............I watched the replay, just i wanted say that the Ost Kurve is 3° gear not 2° gear
