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.

Good idea, Tony  

Totally missed the Members Meeting

YGM (and I just received your pm).

Results and replay now posted.

I enjoyed that as well.

Loved the battle with Daz. He was clearly faster, again , and my chance was to be as consistent as possible.

I was lucky to get the lead at the start. After that he was able to take the lead. Here I thought it was over, however, I was able to stay with him for a couple of laps and after he make a small mistake, I was able to retake P1. After that unfortunately he made few mistakes, which are the reason why I won.

Always happy to race with you guys. Hope to see more original GT Legends cars and some Le Mans 50s here.

I have just watched and enjoyed Dimi's video of the race.
Grats to the fast guys on some stunning lap times.

Also great to see Hristo still coaching from the side  , hope you are doing OK mate. Mrs Fujikawa often asks about you 

My reasons for watching the Dimi's video were 2 fold. First to see some great racing and pass an hour on a lazy Tuesday morning and secondly to find out where the heck I was losing 2 secs a lap, when I felt that I was absolutely wringing the neck of the Cortina!! I am humble enough to know that I would not be as quick as DD or Daz but on a track that I know well I did not expect to be so slow!! If not for Tony's excursions I would probably have been last!!

I was taking T1 flat in 4th, St Mary's was fast in 3rd and right out to the grass on the exit,  Lavant ( I did not get right every time ) was nailed in 3rd and using all the tarmac and a little kerb. Woodcote was a dab on the brakes and a single arc, balancing the car on the gas and the final chicane was where I could gain or lose 0.5 secs.
During the race I realised that I was losing 2-3 tenths on each straight?? in fact on one occasion when Tony was chasing me I actually checked that I was not still in 3rd gear...he just sailed past!! although he did run wide at St Mary's  .

So, watching Dimi's setup tweaking on the video I learned that he was running very high pressure tyres and a higher final drive. I normally run a higher final drive than most in GTL, but noticed that others here are quite prepared to have the engine against the rev limiter, as the engines don't explode like they would in GPL. So I have experimented lately with lower ratios and reckless indifference to the whizzy bits in the engine bay.
If I find time over the next few days I might do a private practice at Goodwood and implement some of DD's setup tweaks. I was astonished when he switched his diff around from 10 powerside to 100 powerside without any qualms. Maybe it is my GPL training but that sounds to me like a death wish as far as handling is concerned lol.
If changing ratios and pumping up the tyres gets me into the 1:28's it will be a lesson well learned.............thanks Dimi.

Thanks Clive for the hint (Alt+F). This was in fact the first time I experienced this issue  .

@ Clive & Geoffers: as far as I remember there's a setup by Dimitar online from an ealier session (something like "Cortina DD"), which I used
and was very pleased with.

Just tried DD's setup & it definitely makes the car turn better in the slower corners however I felt it did not work quite so well through Madgwick as my own effort which probably explains why I was so fast in the first sector. I did make a couple of changes to suit me, moved the brake bias more to the rear (52/48) & lowered the front tyre pressures to 30psi which I felt gave a little better grip through Madgwick. I was now able to do regular laps in the 1.27s with a best of 1.27.2. Oh forgot to mention I also used the middle gearing which I prefer.
