The practice server is now up:

I have set the track to Road Atlanta2018, GP layout, is this correct?

The password is the usual SROU practice password.

Any problems please shout out on this thread

[Mark J]

cheers SRW, yes full GP layout will be fine. 

[Mark J]

Always love this track, it’s a challenge but for some reason historics always work well here 

[Mark J]

Just to whet the whistle

Well said that man, i feel the same  No wonder they use it for the Walter Mitty historic racing out there.

I was looking forward to this race all day after a crap long day at work. Put the pc on nice and early only to find our internet was borked  35mins later and it played ball but meant I was straight to qually with no warm up. Then got the second disappointment of the evening to see only 4 racers 
Reasonably enjoyed the race anyway but my mind kept wandering and I made errors allowing bob past each time.
Got past Bob again with 10mins to go but we inexplicably came together on the back straight  I couldn’t be any closer to the right hand kerb  . The crash into the wall bent my steering so car was undriveable, race over

This might seem an odd question,  but are you sure Bob could see you? All through practice and qualifying you weren't showing on either the AC placings or on P-tracker.
I don't think I could see you on the grid either?

As for my race, it was fun but incredibly hard work hustling these animals around Road Atlanta.
I had to radically adjust my setup from the previous tracks to make pace, previously I'd been concentrating on adding some oversteer to the car to increase pace.
Here I almost reversed my setup adding as much push as I could in order to keep the rear in check under braking.

Even after only 10 minutes I was sliding everywhere again, by the end of the race it was actually getting pretty hard to stay on track

It was a good fun season, shame we didn't get much of a turn out given how good the cars are.
Thanks for organising it Mark and Pete
