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: Vintage tyres should be chosen if available. This race is started by a flagman who doesn't have a flag! Strongly suggest that Auto-countdown is enabled.

Did you revise the car allocations Tony - I distinctly seem to recall having more appealing options the first time I looked

I dropped the Mercedes and reviewed the allocations.

As I haven't raced in this series so far this year, I presume the cars are the ones we have used in previous Fifties series. In which case should it be the Ferrari 375 Plus or is this a different car?

Your correct on all counts Geoffers. I'll revise the OP.

It's always fun with these cars. Hope to see you all on Weds.

I would suggest turning cuts of - I just got a cut warning in the MIDDLE of the track, apparently because the rear end started to step out (but still meters within the track boundaries!!)

Just got another one, same place (stretch leading up to Maison Blanche), this time the rear wasn't even dancing, and again completely within track borders.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Ok I'll turn cuts off.

Just tried a test of the server etc and I am getting "car not present" for the Maserati 4.5 ? Ferrari is OK and so is the DBR2??

Masser works OK offline  .


P.S. Did a couple of laps in the Fezza

I got a "CUT TRACK" message on the approach to Maison Blanc and I was definitely on centre line of tarmac...maybe a few degrees of slide as I passed through the cutting, but 4 wheels on tarmac? Another "CUT TRACK" approaching Indianapolis when I put 2 wheels onto grass alongside the concrete wall? I don't think there is room to get the whole car off the tarmac at that point?

[Wiltshire Tony]

Sorry forgot to turn cuts off. They are off now. Maserati is active on the server and works for me. Please try again.

[Geoffers]

All cars worked for me.

[EvilClive]

Still get the error message re Masser??

The car works fine off line    Can someone please send me a folder for the Maserati and I will overwrite what I currently have?

I notice that the old repository of cars and circuits is still there but I find that the files cannot be downloaded via Google Drive. Has something changed? or is it once again ME
