Car/Track download available by pm to WT

Track: Zolder '75-'85 GP

Car restrictions: Four drives maximum per Division. Check your car allowance here

Points: We are recreating the scoring system that was used in the 1983 ETCC. Overall race result, top 6 scored 9-6-4-3-2-1, In each division, top 10 scored 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1.

Practice: ~19:20 (60 mins)

Race: 20:40 (38 laps)

Time of Day Setting: 14:00
Start: STANDING
Tyre wear: Normal

Server: simracing.org.uk Wednesday
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.

I think it's going to be great idea to take off the cut warnings, because at some places just going into the grass and you are given a warning, not even going off with 4 tires.

I'm not convinced. I've done loads of practice laps here and not had a single cut.

Had an off in lap 6 or so, could reenter the track but missed the second interin time.
So that particular lap did not count  Huh and I was automatically a lap back.
But fun as long as it lasted  Smiley

Good chase with Daz and Clive, unfortunately at my pit stop i stop maybe 1-2 cm off the place and the pit crew didn't accepted my car. I stall the engine, try to start it once again for 1-2 minutes without luck and had to retire.

Ah, wondered what had happened to you Dimitar. Had been a tough chase until that point, I couldn't quite get away for a long time.

Quite liking the Rover, drives well, responds to setup changes, and doesn't eat its tires too much either.

Once Dimitar had gone, I was kind of in no mans land in the lead as I knew Clive was in second, but XD was showing him as DNF so I had no idea at all what the gap was. Figured it must be around 20 odd seconds after the pitstops, so got my head down and pushed on as I felt Clive was a little quicker than me, so didn't want him to get close enough to have a go....But how far back he was I've no idea. The second pitstop came and went, still no sign in my mirrors of Clive....So just kept pushing on as I could right till the end, and took the flag for the win.

Well done to the finishers, bad luck to the guys that didn't get there.

Was having a great time racing Geoff, I could do the turns faster, he was faster down the straight.
nearing 2nd stop, tyres were going off, and the rear had a mind of it's own, went wide losing time a few times
and had 2 stop and goes with no advantage, lost the will to live so left.

Yep, Erling was in a Div1 car, not Div2.

Steady race at the back in my remaining car, the Golf. First dozen or so laps were fun battling with Matt's Escort, as he said the Golf was quicker on the straights but being from a different modder to the other cars it does not have their cornering capabilities. The battle ended shortly after the first pitstops when I rolled the car by taking too much kerb at Boulderberghaarspeld (!!). Rest of the race was a fairly lonely affair, but happy with 5th.

Congrats to Daz, Clive & Erling.  clap clap clap

Also congrats to Erling on winning Div 1, Div 2 & the Overall Championship & also to Daz winning Div 3.  I Am Not Worthy I Am Not Worthy I Am Not Worthy

Grats to the Div winners and to the overall champ.

Also, thanks to whoever thought up this series. The mixture of cars on each grid and all of the possible permutations made the races very enjoyable and challenging.
I confess that I do not do the offline practice that I should for GTL and as a result I often struggle with poor choices and badly handling cars when race time comes. But that does always not detract from the fun.

Last night's race at Zolder was yet another surprise. I had no idea that it was the final race, or that I had that lovely Alfa GTV left to use. Ironically, the Alfa is one of the few cars that I have a setup for and that I feel comfortable with. I think that might have shown in my lap times and pole position?? lol

The start was a concern in case those big Rovers could outdrag me to T1, but I just made it there first. The plan ( there is always a plan, it doesn't always work!) was to try and run away from those Rovers before the first pit stop.

Well, lap 1 followed the script but at the start of lap 2 I was a bit too close to the apex and the kerb at T2. It was enough to put the car on two wheels. which was not unusual for me, but this time I hit the kerb a fraction to hard and the car went up on 2 wheels and just stayed there!!!   scared scared
I was waiting for the dreaded slow roll over...but it just balanced there as Daz and Dimi  swept past  Undecided. I wriggled the steering  and the Alfa eventually dropped back onto all 4 wheels, but I had dropped to 3rd place and a good distance behind two very fast cars  Sad

After a lap to confirm that there was no damage I set about catching Daz and DD, slowly reeling them in as we approached the first pitstops. Catching        up was one thing, but getting past DD was a problem as he had the extra grunt on the straights. Dimi went for the pits a lap before Daz and myself and I did a banzai "in lap" and I suspect that Daz had stretched the fuel for the extra lap? and was slower on his "in lap" as I gained several seconds.

I followed Daz into the pits some 4 secs behind, but feeling good because I had closed the gap. But the cafty sod did not change tyres!! and I did  Undecided !!

I was spitting nails sat in the pits as he drove out to a 20 second lead, but mistakenly figured that he would have to take tyres at the next stop and I would not.
Over the next stint I was closing the gap at around 1-1.5 secs a lap depending on traffic. So after 13 laps of flat out driving I actually followed Daz into the pits for stop 2, only 4 secs behind again!!. I was feeling smug and quite sure that I would be sailing out of the pits whilst his pit crew changed his worn out rubber...........but he left first without changing his tyres again!!!

At least Daz was now in sight as we left the pits and I had been catching him at around a second a lap, so in 5 laps I should be on his tail pipes?? Plus his tyres must be getting old??  At this point I somehow managed to change the monitor view from "in car" to "sitting on the bonnet with dials etc" ??!!

It was whilst I was trying to find and hit the right key to revert to my preferred view that I screwed my race and had a spin. That effectively gave Daz a free pass for the final 12 laps, but I decided to push hard and hope that he made a mistake of his own.  He didn't. I did and outbraked myself at the chicane twice, triggering an SnG with 3 laps to go!!!
Just to compound my pain and embarassment I left the pits and promptly over ran the chicane again .......... another Sng with 1 lap to go lol!! Fortunately I had a huge lead over Erling in 3rd and I was able to hold onto second.

Just a query here about some strange graphics glitches that I noticed in the second half of the race. At a few points around the track my frame rate suddenly dropped off and made things interesting. Did anyone else notice anything? or do I need to look for some background activity on my PC?

Blimey, I had literally no idea you were so close Clive  eek scared, not that there would have been too much I could do.

I had forgotten about you being on 2 wheels, with the amount of lean angle and sparks I genuinely thought you were scraping the door handles...... lol

You are correct, I didn't change tires at all. I have found that if the right foot is applied relatively gently in the early part of the race when the car is heavy, and the car isn't flung around too much, that it does make a good difference to the wear early on, which takes a lot of the pain out of it later. The middle stint was pushing on a bit though, I could have gone faster but not by very much, was trying to stay consistent as the rubber was wearing to the tune of around a second a lap down as you rightly suggest.
