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: None

Car Group choice

Each Car Group has been assigned four random number's (between 11-26) which will not change and are known only to myself.

Beginning at 14:00 (GMT) on Sunday, November 7th, drivers wishing to take part, will send me a pm containing one number (11-26). Pm's received will be dealt with on a strict, first come, first served, basis. Pm's received before 14:00 (GMT) on November 7th will be ignored.

On receipt of your number, I will assign you your Car. If the chosen Car Group is full, you will be placed in the next available Car Group determined by adding 1 to your given number (and repeated until a free Car Group space is able to be allocated).

This process will repeat until fifteen Car Group places have been allocated or we reach December 23rd (whichever occurs soonest).

I will take my choice from any un-allocated Car Group places

I will release the Car/Track pack on December 23rd.

You are basically racing against the other driver's in your Car Group but obviously there will be an overall results table as well.

Watched it yesterday. Nice movie.

Just did a quick check to be sure that I could join this event, and I have a 79 Hockenheim circuit, but no 75 Hockenheim? Is there a d/load for the 75 option anywhere?


OOPs!!! just read Tony's post about releasing car pack etc on 23rd Dec, perhaps I'll wait until then

And the same circuit was used from 1970-1980 so they are both the same.

So tomorrow is my day of moving house.

Open Reach have only put the box on the wall today, and BT informed me this evening when I phoned them that we are 'very unlikely' to have any broadband for around 2 weeks after we move. I am, not for the first time in my life, massively unimpressed with BT. I have no option as it is a new build, but I have avoided them like the plague for the last 15 years or so, I now remember why.....

I will attempt to keep you informed of whether I can take part or not guys. First world problems I know, but massively annoying. It also means I cannot work from home over xmas and will have to go into the office....

[EvilClive]

Good luck with the move Daz. I can't help thinking that there must be better times to move house, but I assume that you have your reasons  .

Isn't it strange that having an internet connection is taken for granted as an absolute necessity in our world, where we had never even heard of Broadband 20 yrs ago?? You might need treatment for withdrawal symptoms in the New Year lol! or you might find a whole new world out there ??

Just like to take this opportunity to thank Tony for all his work and wish all involved in UKGTL a peaceful Christmas and the New Year that they hope for.   

[Dimitar Dulichki]

Maybe it's possible to use your phone internet Daz. But I don't know how good it will be for racing, at least it will do the job for your work?

Hehe, he has already told his other half he may have to work late next Wednesday!!!

Not so daft..... I used to take my PC + wheel and pedals round the country when I was contracting
and clamp it to the hotel furniture   I used to avoid certain places because the table
was too thick for the clamp  

Today is my practice day, also doing taxi for ladies who lunch, so I need the D/L with great ugency
