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.

Another good race with these  

Great pace from Riccardo in the oil burner, and also Dieter. You must have been running 0 wing to get that speed on the straights!
Some good dicing for me with Dieter, Mark, and Birger, Mark kept waiting so we could continue the fun  

The kerbs caught me out a few times, also Dieter spun at least twice in the 2nd chicane.

[Riccardo Gengotti]

Great race with AUDI, I had difficulty starting and then passing Geoff who was faster in braking, I was faster in the slow part, then I managed to get away, thanks bye.

Minimum downforce setting was the only chance I had of keeping up, but that made it really skittish over the kerbs and therefore quite a nervy race. Doing ok initially, managing to keep pace with Geoff, but after about 12 laps I took too much kerb at the Roggia chicane and went off. Stuck against the barrier with limited view out made it hard to get back on track and lost a lot of time there, and then did the same thing a few laps later! Otherwise enjoyed it. Sorry we touched at Ascari on the last lap Matt, but I think you were already spinning? Apology if my fault.

Congrats Riccardo and podium.

[Geoffers]

Good race, just did not quite have enough pace to stay with Riccardo & driving hard to keep up resulted in one or two mistakes.

Apologies for the accidental divebomb at the first chicane early on Riccardo, you braked earlier than I expected & it was either that or run into the back of you.

Had to run lower gearing than in testing due to the bop & it took until a few laps into the race before I realised I could take a couple of corners faster in 4th rather than 3rd. I was able to do 1.34s in testing without the bop & with higher gearing & more rear wing.

Congrats to Riccardo & to Mark in 3rd.

Congrats Geoff and Riccardo 

For me terrible race, never found the steady pace. only the 5 last laps where good and could catch Mark. Would overtake him after ascari in the last lap, but went to soon on the throttle  .

No other game is like raceroom where if you go off you get gravel on your tyre and have zero grip into the next corner. Around here though it really hurts, in the last few laps having seemingly been more consisitent and ending up 3rd, I was struggling a bit and having gone off i was going to be going slow through Ascari, 2nd gear rather than 3rd, knew Biri would get me but luckily managed to survive.

I was clearly running more wing than most, the first laps were tough avoiding people but in clear air seemed to be doing better than qually would indicate.

Agreed the tyre effect is ridiculous, similar in AC where if you spin your wheel the tyres turn to grease.
