(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(4) 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

Well we've finally reached the end of the tour and our host is a circuit that doesn't exactly suit either of the cars were left with. The Aston appears to have the speed advantage but it won't be at ease with some of the turns. The Merc takes the corners in it's stride but lacks oomph on that long back straight.
Your choice, enjoy.

New track for me. Hope I find the time to make some first experiences this evening. No idea which car I'll choose, but there are only two possibilities left

Pretty sure I had this setup OK on Monday night. As I'm at work now I cannot access the server to check. What track/car choice is being offered?

Track is Mantorp, but the cars are 3 other makes - Shelby and I forgot the other two.
I did some practice with both the Aston Martin and the 300SL. Must say that both are very tricky to drive, but the Aston Martin has the upper hand on lap times, at least for me - it's about 0.5-1 second quicker per lap. I really like the track, except that very narrow 90 degree right turn. Is it a real track? Some sections look very similar to Anderstorp.

It's available in the online lobby now. Strange that cos the GTL reporter was running but the dedicated server GTL was absent.

1.36.8 in the 300SL so far after only a few laps offline.
Very sensitive on braking hard at the end of the back straight! Still hope to find a way to eliminate that deficiency.
