Championship Standings

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.

Matt how do you test ballast & power reduction? Do you do it on the server, as I cannot find a way to alter these in single player.

[phspok]

I do on the server. I haven't figured out any other way.

Are you able to log on to the server to stop and start with different settings?

[picnic]

For testing purposes I would have thought you could run up your own server on the same PC, the server software is available in Steam.

Another update today. New track available, Nogaro, also Mullenbach layout of Nurburgring.

Well, I ran the Mistal, which is my fave car, and then tried the DMD, and was nearly 2 secs faster in the DMD
Maybe we need to exclude that car? or maybe people should try the oil burner?
So, in testing the Audi was the slowest for me, so decided to give it a run here.
It didn't do corners well I seemed to remember, so ran 10 wing and softened the rear, max TC
5 Map, and it was slow round corners, but flew down the straights 5-7 MPH better than the DMD and the Mistral
So got to annoy people on that longgggg back straight but then fell back in the twisties. Shame John and Geoff
weren't in for the full race, as I had great fun hassling Mark down the fast bits. Well done for hanging on Spanner

Sorry Martin for the push, but was difficult to maintain behind you  , same car but different setup. You where to slow in the corners.

Great 4 cars fight the first 10min, up to my push at Martin 



No probs in VR here, loving the car, almost no view like in real life. Still adapting to the speed  . Played afterwards a NSU ranked race 


First time at paul Ricard, because i dont like the track to watch on TV. But to race real fun, those long sweepers, especially the 2 after Mistral Straight.

[phspok]

No worries Birger, You were in the DMD? I was in the Diesel AUDI
Yes, I was slow in the corners but man did it fly down the straights with reduced wing 

[HeMuLiZ]

Sorry guys, I missed the race. I was too tired yesterday.

[phspok]

Shame. see you at the next one hopefully 

[spanner]

Finally someone turned up in an Audi...

Despite the heavy restriction on the DMP everyone turned up in it except Pete! Seeing Matt soooo fast down the straight kinda hurt abit!

Shame so many had issues, both Matt and Geoff kept dropping in and out, clearly Matt was on purpose....

John got away fast off the start but we all seemed to be catching him up slowly, was all brewing to something....
