(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.

I may have to miss this one guy's. The day before this event I'm due to get my Covid booster shot and I may get the psuedo man flu side effect.
EDIT: Sorry guys, feeling rough, so will not be attending. Have a good race.

Yep, get well soon Tony, hope it is just a short lived reaction to the vaccine. Going for mine next Wednesday. Congrats to Hristo on the race & championship victory & to Erling & Matt on the podium. My race was predictably short, great track that it is I always struggle with Bathurst & to be honest much prefer the modern version, this one just feels a bit bland. I am currently also struggling with getting a good FFB feel in GTL with my new wheel, there are no recommended settings for it in such an old sim so it is a bit of trial & error to get it right, but I will get there eventually.

Sorry to hear about DD's illness and Tony's reaction.......I trust that both of you feel better soon. I can understand Geoffer's frustration re his new wheel. I'm sure that he will get things sorted faster than I did, but I cannot explain or describe how the Thrustmaster feels/responds so differently to my old Logitech. I know that the new one is belt drive and the old Logitech was plastic geared, but that does not quite seem to provide the reason. Geoffers is a very smooth driver, I make no claims about my usual style but I find that I am having to adapt towards Geoffers method in order to find some pace. Last night's race at Bathurst with big V8's promised some close racing.......until Hristo installed a turbo!!! Stunning lap times H! My race was compromised by old driving habits sneaking back into the car. I must concentrate on my brking and smooth acceleration ( it was giving 3-4 secs difference at Bathurst ) Ultimately it was lack of fuel that scuppered things, which was only discovered after I had a spin and dropped to the back of the field. Chasing Christian I glanced at the laps left and the current fuel.... The calculation was wrong by about a lap, which is a long way around Bathurst so I had to back off and short shift if I wanted to see the flag. Christian had an inverted moment and I was promoted to a lonely 4th, but I crossed the line with the engine coughing Another great series Tony

I maybe in the same boat re: TM wheel.
When I use my old G25 in Southport I am often faster than the much more expensive "superior" Tm wheel at home. The TM is bigger, but other than that If I practice with the G25 then go home and use the TM, I find it too different

What setting do you guys use in game? In the controls menu you get the choice of (if I remember correctly) joystick, keyboard & wheel & 4 specialised settings for wheels of the era. I used to use one of the Logitech ones for my G29, but have no idea what to use for a Fanatec wheel.

Bathurst is always a challenge - so much potential for screwing up, which perhaps was reflected in last night's attrition rate.
In pre race praccy, I dipped into the 2:15s for the first time, and was surprised to see myself closely grouped with Geoffers & Hristo. Come qualy, the latter was soon back to his otherworldly self, posting a suitably unbelievable 2:12 time. Would have loved to see a replay of that.
Tried my best to find the very delicate start balance between bogging down & completely smoking the rear tyres. Mucked it up and bogged down, but had gotten ahead of Clive again when we arrived at T1, only to run wide onto the grass, on cold tyres, losing 3 places in the process. Got one back when Dan lost control at the cork screw. Another one next lap when Clive repeated my T1 mistake. Exiting the canyon, Matt ran wide, dipping into the ditch & losing momentum, which allowed me to slip past.
Thus back in my original position, being the meat in an expanding Geoffers-Matt sandwich. Then a dust cloud indicated trouble for Geoffers, letting me inherit 2nd. Didn't look too bad, so surprised to see him leave shortly after. Replay shows him losing control in weird way at the cork screw, so maybe the car was damaged after all.
Had a 3-sec gap to Matt, and it seemed clear I would have to work to keep it. However, he must have had trouble, as it first jumped to 5-6 secs and then to 9 secs. Thus had a comfortable gap, but tossed it all away by putting a wheel outside the track. Car spun, I tried to continue when it was facing the right way, but the car had other ideas; continued rotating until it faced the wrong way. By the time I had it righted and going again, Matt caught up and passed. Chased him over the remaining lap and the next. Slipstream on the long straight only helped partially, as we both hit top speed. Had to try an outbrake into the final corner. Succeded, mostly by being in the way I think. Hope the move wasn't too aggressive/ambitious/optimistic. Could then proceed to build a gap again, while trying not to step out of line again.
Grats to Hristo on his distant win, to Matt on the podium & to the few who finished. Commiserations to the early retirees.
Didn't know DD was ill, so a get well soon to him also

Thanks for all the good wishes guy's Feeling much improved this morning. Yes Geoffers, just a short lived reaction which affects very few people. The booster jab will leave your arm quite sore fore a couple of days. Unfortunately I also get flu like symptoms too
