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.
(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

Bummer.....Hit the turn wrong on  the last left  hander and over corrected and wiggled into the wall.  Nice fire though, had the ceiling fan on high in the PC room so blew the flames away from me, I'm OK!!!  Sorry to Roger for the bump earley on, guess it just wasn't my day to drive the Boss.  Was a tose up with the Z28 and the Boss won, or maybe lost.....See you all next week in the beastley Capri's

This series has become a bit of a tactical nightmare.  In addition to the usual suspects, you find yourself battling drivers you would normally be ahead, because they've been more fortunate - or clever - with their tactical choices.  Have made some bad ones myself, and yesterday turned out to be another one.

Initially joined in the Boss, but desperately need a win in my final Class D drive, so when Geoffers joined in the same car and quickly eclipsed my offline pb, which I couldn't even match yesterday, I looked at the driver / car list for alternatives.  Both Clive & Matt were in RS 1600s, with Clive posting a 1:41.4.  I had done 1:41.1 offline, so looked like we could have a nice, close race. Off I went to get myself a RS 1600, but when I rejoined, both gents promptly left and changed their cars - apparently neither one wanted to race with me  Undecided

Qual set in before I could switch car again, and I ended up wasting a RS 1600 for something I could have accomplished with a FVA instead.

Qualified ahead of Roger in a Boss, but he had no problem outdragging me at the start, dropping me to 6th.  Start of L2, I saw his car cartwheeling in T1, and next passed a waiting Bob. Thus I was in an unlikely and surely temporary 4th.  Tried to make the most of it, maximizing my corner speeds - my one advantage, bar the brakes, but have to be careful with those, as the Escort tends to bite, if I overdo my late braking antics.  Inevitably the gap dropped, and when a Boss appeared in my mirror, it was clear it had another one in tow.  Started to hit traffic when the gap was down to 3 secs, which didn't help. Apologies if my passes were on the clumsy side, but I desperatedly needed to get past with as little delay as possible.

Saved by the bell though, when Bob retired. Gap to Roger was holding at 7 secs, and later increasing.  2nd half of the race very lonely then, with the only company coming from the slower cars I lapped.  Totally surprised to finish on the podium, after Geoffers untimely exit.  Grats to Clive & Tony for the win & 2nd - and to Clive for moving 2nd in the Class D Championship beyond my grasp... Wink  Commiserations to Geoffers & Bob.

Cheers,
Erling

Don't remember your car change affecting what I did  Huh
I wanted to run an Imp, could have stuck with the RS1600, but looked to be on my own
and I only had a Camaro drive so would be left standing by the BOSS302s.
Saw that Bill and Kurt were in Imps, and doing quick times, so left to join them for
some fun.

Just independent change then. Would have liked to run an Imp too, but didn't prepare anything for it, as it once again wouldn't complete the race without refuelling. With drivers still having Mini drives left in the class, I didn't dare go with the Imp.  As it turned out, all Class A drivers opted for the Imp; having a crystal bowl would be nice at times...  Roll Eyes

I know that you won't believe me Erling, but there were no tactics involved last night. I was trying the Escorts in practice simply to compare the cars I still had available. I already knew that the Boss would be the fastest option, but I needed a relative comparison for the Escorts.

I was almost stuck with the FVA, which I was trundling around in the last minutes of free practice, and it was only by chance that I glanced at the clock with about one minute left until qually started. A frantic jump back to the transporter and grabbed the last drive in the Boss.......sorry Erling it could have been fun.

TBH I get a little scared at the start of the season when I read on the forum that many of you have tested/worked out the cars and circuits for all of the races!!

My system involves looking at the track on race day, taking a look at what cars I have left and choosing what might be the most promising. Inevitably this means that as we get to the tail end of a season I have a collection of cars that either I just don't like. or that are totally unsuitable for the tracks that are remaining. As you will see for the rest of this season!!

During qually I was struggling to actually adjust from the handling of the Escort to that of the Mustang, with multiple "track cut" warnings. It was only in the last few minutes that I hooked up a decent lap to get me onto the front row, with Geoffers claiming pole.

I managed to get a good launch , but Tony was even quicker and led towards T1. I was just close enough on the inside to prevent him getting in to the apex and I was able to take the racing line and get a better exit. I was in the lead but on cold tyres and with the pack close on my tailpipes. Full concentration for the first lap pilled me a little gap and I was able to take a glance at the positions.
Geoffers, who I had expected to be making my life extremely uncomfortable was back in 4th place, I decided to make the most of the gap that I had and turned the wick up for several laps whilst Tony kindly bottled up Geoffers. Then I saw that he had passed Tony and was in pursuit Shocked, I had eeked out around 7 seconds and I worked VERY hard to maintain that cushion.
I was very conscious that just one mistake would be the end of my lead, so I was not at max attack....hoping that I was just quick enough that Geoffers was having to take risks to catch me. I was doing multiple mental calculations as to how many laps I had before Geoffers would catch me at the current rate.
But all of those predictions were thrown into chaos when I started lapping the slower cars. It was in no way their fault as the Mustang is just so much quicker, but each time I was losing precious seconds. Then Geoffers dropped back and suddenly the gap was up to around 15 secs and Tony was playing cork in the bottle again  thumbup1
We were now into the last 10 laps and I was watching my tyre wear carefully as in the past I have been known to throw away a possible good finish when I run out of rubber  Roll Eyes. Geoffers is nothing if not persistant and bl**dy quick!! and soon he was past Tony and taking great chunks out of my lead.
Again I was doing the calculations and reckoned that I could give him a second a lap and still finish ahead, but again catching slower cars at the wrong place was proving very expensive and I just had to hope that Geoffers was getting similar problems, although he seemed to be dealing with them better than me!!???

5 laps to go and he was getting closer lap by lap, and I was treading very carefully trying to save a little rubber in reserve for what I expected to be an intense last lap battle. With 2 laps to go he was only 2 secs behind and looking very intent on taking the win. So I now had had to push and use any remaining grip if I was going to hold on to the win. Then luck played a part when Geoffers got caught behind a lapped car and I grabbed an extra 0.5 secs ( not much, but very valuable!!).
Going into the last lap it was "win or bust" and going into Hangar Straight I was beginning to feel that I might just have done enough. Braking for Stowe highlighted the poor state of my front tyres and was a little buttock clenching as the front end dived and wobbled in protest. A small powerslide on the exit to get the tail around and we survived.
A glance in the mirrors saw Geoffers only a few hundred metres back with half a lap to go,,,should be Ok if I don't screw up?? I did not look again until I took the flag and the win amazed to find that there was no one behind???!!??!
As we know it transpired that Geoffers had run out of fuel somewhere around Stowe?

Grats to Tony and Erling and commiserations to Geoffers, who made my race very uncomfortable, but definitely exciting!!

Was surprised to build such a big gap back to Bill and Kurt, who were posting better times than I was
for most of qual  Huh Had some fun trying to worry Huggy in the slower Escort, and got in front for a few laps
managed to stay in front through the turns, but was obviously slower on the straights.

I was depending on being lapped more than once, and the car was stuttering and running out of fuel
on the last straight before the finish, so just made it  Grin

Had tested with the imp and the 970S at the previous SIlverstone event, so had setups, and found the
imp more fun than it's limited top end would suggest.
