Championship Standings

Example Setups:

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 Euro and American Track Packs for this series (And maybe another
non pack track occasionally)
(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.

January 1st! lol

Sigh.... The series are kindly created by our good friend Mr Wiltshire Tony. And he helpfully puts a dummy 1st event in
which I can then modify appropriately, and copy to the next in the series. The Championship lists are also wrong at first
until I put the correct numbers in for the actual series. So, if you look at things while I am editing, then some things
will be off wack, for a while.

Have another look, you may spot some errors, if so please let me know, and I will fix them.

@Matt - will this be a 30 minute race, or will you set a number of laps as last week? Reason I ask is because I was thinking of taking the BMW M3 having never raced this or the Touring Classics version before, but after a few exploratory laps and looking at the setup screen yesterday it seems it could be a bit marginal on fuel. Not tried a full race distance myself, but I set an AI 30 minute race to test and all the BMWs had to pit. If I get time I will try it myself also. The other cars are fine - even though they all have the same size fuel tank as the M3, they can all do a few laps more and easily go the distance.

I can set it to one lap shorter if that helps. We've used this car set before for 30 min races, I don't remember fuel probs.
Perhaps they changed something.

[frex]

Tested it again and can get to 25 laps in the BMW, which is probably what a 30 minute race would be anyway, so I think it's all good. These cars got new tyres recently, but not sure about any physics changes, and yes as you say we used them before without a problem so I think it will be fine.

Is someone driving with the Mustang.

I think i still need to train my driving skills. Again oversteer at corner exit (throttle on).

Also need to find the perfect speed and flow for the esess (T2-3-4)

[phspok]

Not tried the Mustang yet. Only the Opel and the little Beemer

I tried the Mustang briefly as I raced it a couple of weeks ago and already had a rough setup for it. Might have taken it here too if I hadn't wanted to try something different. For the Esses, if you're in a car that can't take them flat I think it's better to compromise the first part (T2) so as to be as far over to the right side of the track as possible as you go uphill towards T3 - this will give the best line through T3/4 and the quickest exit out onto the fastest part of the track. Maybe that helps. I can also post the Mustang setup if you want to try it.

If possible yes, maybe for last minute changes. Thx

[frex]

No problem. Mustang setup here.

[BiriBiri]

thx, will use some of the changes (like the preload)
