(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) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page

Special Notes: The grid procedure for Race 07 events is slightly different from GTL/GTR2. Upon joining the grid, you won't be able to rev your engine until all drivers are present on the grid. Do not attempt to esc back to garage or you will be DQ'd.

weird, i just did a few laps (cool a non working day today here  ) and i don't seem to have that problem, well maybe I'm just not pushing hard enough being around 1.36 (occasionally 1.35.high) and some hotlaps being at around 1.33 or even less

as a caterhamphobic until today (for no reason  ) i had never spent much time on the caterham before (well i probably never even completed a lap before today in that car but that would be hard to believe hehe), but i'm glad i did now because i think it drives just great, and you really feel when you start loosing grip and most of the time you can correct it with great success with a nice counter-steering manoeuver

i'll try to join tonight and hopefully some more ex-catheramphobic will do the same

Race 1 - I had to find my feet, which effectively meant I drove round on my own at the back the whole race.

Race 2 - Car next to me did a false start, & then stopped in the middle. The two AI cars in front of me refused to move when the lights changed while that car sat in the middle. So already 4 secs behind the group when we got going. I only had enough pace to stick with a group, once I'd been dropped (i.e. the moment the race started) I'd not be able to catch. So had another "exciting" 7 laps on my own. Till I decided to wait for NSFast, so I'd have someone to race. It took him one lap to overtake & start to drive away. So I just exited out.

Don't think I've had that much fun since my last iRace.


Races on a Wednesday are becoming harder & harder for me to attend. Think I might have to mull over my plans.
