Practice: 20:00 (30 mins) Qual: 20:30 (15 mins) Race: 20:45 (30mins)
Cars allowed: GT4
Time of Day Setting: 13:00 Weather: Dry
Start: Rolling start Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Pit-stops: none required
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 especially the 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) 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. (6) 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 [/quote][/quote]

I didn't know they had Zhuhai in this? The old track or is this a new touring car track? I haven't really been watching the WTCR.
Either way, i'll be missing as I will be at my parents recovering from a long day visiting Snetterton.

Don't think they ever ran WTCR at Zhuhai. It's just the same old layout they used in the FIA GT series 15 years ago. Flat track with the same three corners repeated over and over again. Ningbo is the new circuit used in WTCR, and is much more interesting.

With them only focusing on the WTCR series I assumed it was on their schedule. I noticed they seemed to be racing on a some rather unusual tracks in the far east so assumed it was a new track. Haven't been in game to check it out.

I quite like Zhuhai, remember racing it a few times in GTR2 days. I seem to be able to get the older Cayman around here without spinning it every lap so I'll give this a go. Newer 718 Cayman seems to have had a small physics revamp but I can't tell the difference and it still tries to kill me every lap, especially in the final corner. There's definitely something that annoys me about Raceroom these days and I always end up in a bad mood when I fire it up so I'll probably be having my usual post race moan

Zuhai may not be the most interesting track, But I quite like it. Certainly more than Ningbo which is too awkward to me, I am running it in the WTCR series because I am, where possible, using the real 2020 tracks they use, so not my choice of tracks, but I am happy with them.

Looked like another small update. I think I have set it up correctly, best check. I have started the server with the race password, you might want to change that. Ah, is not your race password...

Once again, more spins than a laundrette for me. Rage quit like a teenager and uninstalled from my HD. Someone give me a nudge when they've sorted out the FFB

Don;t understand Tudor? FFB works fine on both my PCs, one is Thrustmaster, and the other is G25 How is not right?

No idea really, something happened in last December "update" which caused some to experience problems. I know the devs said they changed the way the ffb worked so that it is now linked directly to the physics, whatever that means Net result for me is that there is little feel through the wheel of what is going on at the back of the car when cornering. Once the back steps out it's already too late to catch it and around I go....no warning. I've spent hours trying different settings, reinstalling wheel drivers, reinstalling game, deleting docs folder, trying my son's wheel (Logitech DFGT like mine) all the usual stuff. Had another long session trying to work it out today but no better. Time to move on...
