For me I really appreciate anyone who comes to play with us, whatever their pace, so I am particularly happy that
Tony joins, as he has many years of organising events here, and is something of a stalwart in SROUK

We are doing well with this series of Riccardo's in particular with good fair fast drivers, and I can sometimes
hang on their coat tails  scooter I get some close racing with Tony in GTL,    so I was hoping it would be
the same here. Maybe it can become so.

My first test with these cars was not positive. I thought they were slow and awkward, my eventual setup, which would not be perfect
was 0 rear wing with level 5 traction control, and front roll bar to minimum rear roll bar some clicks higher. So maybe I should have been faster
if others had close to the default setup, but I managed to stay in the mix with Spanner and Picnic, so I was happy.

Any other fast drivers, or non  alien who is thinking of joining? please do, you will be very welcome.  thumbup2

Next week could be anybody's race, as the challenge will be to stay on the road with those beasts. I have run Gr5 events in the past
and they mostly went well, but I usually chose the Capri, as I could get a drivable setup easier than the others.

We (as in SROUK) have had some handicapping systems in the past. I might have done myself for P&G
And my memory is that they worked, but the fast drivers sometimes lost interest as they didn't get to win all the time
and didn't want to have to work so hard to get the win, having to spend even more time with practicing and setups
The faster drivers usually won anyway, but it was less certain so I liked that myself.
It's deffinately worth some thought.  chef

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I accepted to race, pushed by my teammate, Massimo.

I connected to the server at 20:45, after having bought the track shortly before, which I did not own

thanks to Massimo, in 20min of practice I understand how to drive the car. and in qualifying I'm not doing badly, but in the race, to my surprise, I improve lap after lap, and I manage to keep a pace, which allowed me to get to the podium.

I'll see if I can also participate in the next races, for the moment thanks again for organizing this championship

hi everyone, this race was more complicated than expected, my setup was almost default only with harder springs, I was fast on the flying lap but in the race after a few laps I started having tire problems and I was joined by Geoff and I had to defend myself, it was a good battle then Simone also arrived but I was not willing to give up 2nd place. the next race will be completely different, a medal to those who manage to arrive without errors .....
sorry Geoff if I was a little tough in defense but I couldn't let you pass, however you are a very good driver, fast and correct, congratulations to you.

Interesting to read the comments above.

I definitely do practice, first off to learn the track (if I need to) and the cars which I definitely need to. I fiddle with the settings then I have goes on the Leaderboard challenge. Sometimes I'll set up a short race mainly to get the fuel right.

I found last nights car quite underwhelming so was unable to ascertain where I was losing the speed.

I do have next weeks car and track so will try to attend.

@Matt & Geoffers, yes all setups gratefully received. In fact it would be great if I could get last night's setups too.

Once my house move is fully done and I'm settled in I do want to drop in on some more of the RRE stuff, if and when the car/track combo tickles my fancy. I have run under both self imposed, and organiser imposed, handicap situations before now over the years, and for me they are always great fun. I would much rather work really hard for any results Grin

100% the one and the same Frex, I have seen your name knocking around in some threads but yet to catch up on track. Nice to come across the old names and virtual faces  Grin Hope you are well fella, always enjoyed our time together.

You must have missed my return to the sim world, your own fault for playing these new games though, I'm still stuck mainly on GTL. Been over in the section for over a year now, still trying hard to keep up with young Geoffers....

Yeah, those GTL and P&G days were so good back then, and I still miss the sheer depth of quality tracks and cars that were (are) available. But I can't go back now, RRE is king for me, and loving what historic content it does have. Great to hear from you Daz, and hope to see you (and Heebs and any other ex-NG'ers) in RRE soon! (The 935 Fabcar next week would be right up your street..)  Grin

Sorry Alessandro for rear-ending you in the slow corner, ruined both our races.

No problem mate, my race was terrible with or without that contact Smiley
I have no feeling at all with this car (really I have this problem with raceroom in general  helpsmilie) , too much understeer and I fought all the time with lack of front grip. In fact I never understood how to drive it so my only target was to wait the end of race  angel
Compliments Massimo that is fast with any car/track
Ciao!
