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.

Dom has job! A proper, normal one. With, like, pay and everything. That was almost 15 years ago.  (veeeery long story)
Lotsa plusses about that but the minus is that I've been both quite busy and very tired to get back into the groove.
But! I have (already) a day off this Nov, 11th and I'm keen to jump in a Beemer again.
So if no global or local disasters occur, Ill be there.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Grats on the Job, be nice to have you back with us again. See you soon.

Grats on the Job, be nice to have you back with us again. See you soon.

Ditto, be good to have you back Dom. You can show Daz the way round!!!!!!

[Erling G-P]

Grats Dom, hope you make it on Wednesday.   Still looking for a job myself, now officially unemployed for the first time in my life.  Hard to keep the optimism, when you get rejection after rejection..

[Daz9]

Be great to have you back on track Dom of course, but fantastic news about the job in any event.

Another tough combo this judging by the amount of spins I just did in 25 minutes....

[SpecialKS]

Grats Dom for the new job in these crazy times.

Erling, I wish you good luck for your job search. Stay safe & optimistic.
As far as I hear, generally it's not that difficult to find a new job in Denmark. Fingers crossed.

Was unemployed in 2009 for eleven months and again in 2010 for two months and
after that I had to work with a temporary employment agency for nearly six years until
I found a fixed job through the temporary work in public service. Low paid but safe.
And still more than six years to go ........
Due to the years at the temporary employment agency I probably will not be able to quit earlier. 

Probably will miss this one as I have a dental surgery very early on Thursday morning

Thanks Kurt, I keep trying.  Unfortunately as a mainframe developer, I've become bit of a dinosaur in a dying niche - not many jobs available and stiff competition for the few that's up for grabs. Corona not making it any easier either.  Now applying for jobs as technical tester and data analyst too, since I have experience with both through my work as a developer, but not having any luck so far, typically being underqualified for these jobs.

Best of luck at the dentist - hope they're not too hard on you!

Cloud is the new fashion Erling. I get developers on courses, many of whom have very limited
cloud experience, but can code. See if you can get a basic qual in AWS ( I can help you somewhat with that one)
or Azure. Much the same but MIcrosoft, which is not my thing. I'm more old Unix and infrastructure fart.

[Erling G-P]

Thanks Matt, much appreciated.  I'll send you a PM so as to not take the thread even more off-topic.

Guys,
         Good to read your posts and answers and the personal touch in them. I'd like to wish everyone the best of luck in life and I am proud to be a member of UK GTL.


Cheers, Dan

Apologies to Geoffers. What a stupid mistake I made. Sorry I ruined your race mate. Ill write fifty times: Races are not won in lap 1 and one should not rear end a fellow competitor before lap 2 !

Ah, well these things happen Dan, done it myself many times. Just a shame the car got damaged & I had to pit to repair it, just a hotlapping session after that.

Congrats to DD, Ziu & Daz. 

And Congrats to Erling on winning the championship.
