rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the relevant Track Packs for this series
(4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit.
(5) Start procedure
*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
(6) 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.

Was planning on taking the Porsche for these. Tried it out at the last event at the nurburgring and loved it.

Hope to make this one and as many as I can for this series.

Seems like ages since I've raced so put in a few practice laps last night in preparation. Unfortunately I'd convinced myself we were racing at Spielberg tonight

Oh dear that didn't quite go according to plan. I worked out was using about 2 ltr a lap in practice and someone on TeamSpeak reckoned we'd do 21 or 22 laps. Both were wrong. I raced had for the first 15 mins until Dieter got passed and then realised I hadn't got enough fuel for the race. Then when it looked like we'd do 23 laps I thought I was doomed. I crossed the line with 0 on the fuel gauges.

Thanks for waiting Dieter, I would have tried harder if I'd had some fuel to spare  I'm not quite in your league in these tho, a 1:44 lap time is beyond me I'm afraid.

Your qually time suggests otherwise! Good race in the first half - nothing between us and I would not have got by without your slight mistake. Sorry you had to save fuel in the second half.

Thanks to all.

It does, doesn't it  Could of sworn I'd only done a 45.2 or 3 

I'll put more fuel in next time
