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: Driver's must complete over 50% race distance to score points. Worst three results over the series are dropped.

Wow! these things feel like a proper race car. Twitchy in a realistic way, fast and fun.

Just started practice with these.

Puzzled - shouldn't the front wheels/fenders & lights be visible from the cockpit?  Am I missing something, since I can't see them?

[PaulV]

I think this helps..  go int your .plr file and change this line

Wheels Visible In Cockpit="1"

default is I think 0

[Wiltshire Tony]

Paul has it right. 

[Erling G-P]

Thanks, yes that made the wheels visible.  Still can't see the lights, but can't see a 'Lights visible in cockpit' parameter in the file

The race tonight isn't showing up in my GTL multiplayer lobby, is it just me, or has something changed?

Don't think there is such a thing Erling.

Should be there now.

I was just joking; seems like the lights simply aren't shown - unless someone can actually see them?

I can't join the server.

Nothing's happening when I type the password - or a wrong password; it just sits there.

Managed to join an altbierbude server, so it's only our server that suddenly doesn't work for me.  Has anything changed?
