Championship standings HERE

Grid/server capacity: 22

Track: Mallory Park

Cars allowed: Alpine A364

Practice: ~19:20 GMT (60 mins)
Qualifying: 20:20 GMT (20 mins)
Race: 20:40 GMT (50 laps)

Time of Day Setting: 14:00
Start: STANDING
Tyre wear: Normal
Fuel consumption: Normal
Pit stops required: No

Server: simracing.org.uk Mondays
Password: see above

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

Quick little track which will destroy your LHS tyres in very little time.

I suspect that pit stops will be a necessity. Good news is, the pit lane works fine. It has a 40MPH (60KPH) speed limit. A pit stop practice is recommended.

We will be running this under full flag rules so you should see blue flags if your about to be lapped. If you use the HUD dials you will get a blue light under your speedo as well.

Please let lapping cars by, as quickly as possible, but only where it is safe to do so.

A refresher on how to perform the perfect pit stop may be found here https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=11812.msg212761#msg212761

PS You should pit on the RHS of your pit man. If you only require fresh tyres, and have not damaged your bodywork or suspension, (and you don't need fuel) you can just hit return when your pit board shows. Four new tyres takes about 30secs (stationary time).

Well, I will certainly stay in this championship, it 's so much fun. Had a bit of bad luck tonight though. The cunning plan was to do the first quart of the race at a moderate speed to go easy on the tyres and so I did. Just as I started to speed up a bit I had a terminal encouter with unlucky Clive who spun in front of me. too late to avoid.. The impact was huge and my right front wheel was gone. Limped back to the pits where the mechanics did a complete overhaul on the car except for the missing wheel ! Out of spares I suppose. Qually and the first 12 laps were great fun so who am I to complain ? Felt sorry for Clive, his race was gone too.
Will be there next round with the usual big smile on my face. Smiley

Cheers, Dan

Terrible shame and I do feel for you. Lost connection is one of the worse ways to leave a race. And I know you did so much practice for this.

Hi Osni,

in almost all cases the issue is not on your side. We all have/had lost connections from time to time.
It's frustrating - of course - with all the efforts everybody makes in order to participate. But it's just a game. Wink

Sometimes I'm asking myself where I get the motivation to do this every week usually only for the fight for last place.  Roll Eyes
But it's the fun and the love to the game which let me come back every time for nearly 10 years now  Smiley

Osni, please don't quit, there are a few people here that need company at the front of the race! (not that I am concerned Grin )

During my limited practice I grew very concerned about the tire wear, so I decided to plan a pit stop to get fresh tires.
I should probably have computed how much time this was going to cost, and how fast I should lap to recover it... to discover it was hopeless.  Roll Eyes
Anyway the fresh tires made the second half of the race not too difficult (even if I managed to spin at the hairpin in the last lap Cry ) so that I could see the checkered flag. Congrats to the guys who made it on a single set anyway because I suspect that the final laps might have been a bit "icy".
@Roger: I hope I did not cause too much trouble when I passed you (and nearly lost the car), I did not realize that I was just "un-laping" myself at the moment, I was a bit lost in the classification.
Finally: a decent race with a pit-stop, quite redundant but not screwed-up (trying to be positive Grin )

Apologies to Dan, and anyone else who was affected by my spin  Sad

I know that I am beginning to sound like a scratched vinyl record "I am struggling with these cars"  Undecided………….  But I am !!!

I was expecting to be off the pace as the only preparation for this race was a quick server check on Saturday. Quali was going OK and as I had fully expected, my time put me in the back half of the grid. Then it dawned on me that doing quali on race fuel and on such a short circuit might be a bad move?? So I dumped a load of fuel and went again, which TBH was probably not smart. It netted me a 3rd spot on the grid and right amongst the fast action...hmmm  Undecided Undecided maybe a more considered position further back might have suited my abilities better?
Old habits die hard and I got myself involved in the racing at the front from the start which was fun with such evenly matched cars.
Tony's prediction of terminal tyre wear on the front left was quite correct( the rear left was not far behind either!!) and after about 10 laps things were looking bad in the rubber depletion department, we won't even talk about temperatures at this point!!
I felt that I was beginning to get a "feel" for the car and the setup felt OK'ish... at least I was keeping pace with the cars around me  Grin
But I still had an issue with sudden snap oversteer on corner exit, and the hairpin was where I felt that most. Just when I felt that I had found the extra tenths of a second to close up on the car ahead I tried just a fraction to much and the car snapped around hitting the kerb hard.  A few laps later I did it again  Undecided and after that the car did not feel the same. Maybe it was the tyres, or perhaps I had bent something when I had my "offs".
The car no longer felt planted on the road, especially around that long T1 and that was where it all went wrong. I felt the rear beginning to break loose and eased off the gas only to make the problem worse. In slow motion, the rear came around totally uninterested in any instructions from the steering wheel or driver.
I knew that I was going to hit the barrier and I always try to avoid involving others in my misfortunes, but this time the car simply bounced off the barriers, after shedding a wheel, and I knew that I was rolling back across the track but I could do nothing to  stop it....sorry Dan!!  Undecided

Grats to those who had more ability and better pace.. and to the podium guys.


Don't quit Osni, I went through a season a while back ( in GPL) with multiple discos and random failures which made me question my future with on-line racing. But the bad times passed and the fun returned  Wink

@Clive,
           No probs about the spin mate, simply a racing accident.  As for the Alpine's general mechanical state and especially the suspension department, in my experience only the slightest indiscretion will result in some form of damage and consequent poor handling. the tricky thing is that the car often feels just a little different which makes it hard to recognize it and it suddenly kicks back at you.

Regarding connection issue's.............

On the Lobby screen, bottom centre, there is a box called "Data Rate". There are five options.

1) Modem <56k
2) Modem 56k
3) ISDN
4) Cable/DSL
5) LAN

I assume from there order that 1) is the slowest and 5) is the fastest. I have mine set to LAN and it seems to work for me Ok. Is my assumption correct and what do others have their Data Rate set to?

I too was going to pit at around half race distance, but when it came to about lap 25 I thought I would try to last the distance on the tyres I had. No-one else seemed to pit, except for Malcolm (I think?) so I decided to take the risk and slow down rather than lose places pitting. In the latter part of the race the car was definitely suffering but I had sufficient time over the guys behind me, to slow down and nurse the car over the line, just. Narrowly avoided Clive when he did that slow spin but Dan was not so lucky, looked like he had no way to go to avoid clouting Clive. Saw it in my mirrors and it looked like a huge (and spectacular) hit. Found this a difficult track to pass on due to it's width and the comparative speed of the other drivers.
Looking forward to Estoril which is a very wide track with some great straights and turns. Hope to see you all there.
