Good stuff Mike. Sign up thread is here: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=9149.0Regarding the pit stops - you can pre-select what you want to take on at the stop. If you cycle through the black boxes there's one for fuel, and another for tyres. By default tyres are changed, but you might need to check the amount of fuel they'll put in - it's easy to change on the fly though. As far as practcing - just drive into the pits, stay under the speed limit and stop in your slot ... and that's that. |

By 'Black Boxes' he means using the function keys - F4 is fuel by default.

Sorry guys, there is now a very slim chance of me making this.
As I feared Sundays just don't work well for me.
Regards
Gary

If you knew how fast Gary is around here you wouldn't be saying that...  Having said that, Gary will be missed on the track. It's always sad when a fellow racer misses a race especially when we are already struggling for numbers.  I've so far done zero practise for this and I'm busy this afternoon. I'll do my best to make the race and hope my existing setup is good enough to keep you busy for 2 hours David.  |

Having had a day out I wasn't back in time for last nights practice session - I was expecting a few more DP's to have shown up though... With the Mustang race at Spa this week I didn't think we'd see too many Mustangs, but last night was a waste of money - at this rate the practice sessions will be shelved, there's no point having them with the sort of numbers we've seen for the last couple of weeks.
Tonights race is make or break for the season in my oppinion, if 120mins at Spa can't get a decent grid, then we might as well forget the second half of the season.

Ah Adam you're going to love me then! Currently running a race against my progress bars as I reload Win 7 after some PC woes.
Going to be touch and go but if I can get sorted in time I'll be there for sure.

I have to be honest, I really struggle to find my motivation atm. Been jumping around different cars to try and find something, but nothing really catches me, because there are no series to race in as such. I do enjoy the different cars, but with the prospect of empty grids - cause its not like the iRacing series feature large grids either - my motivation disappears fast.
I dont think I can find it in me, to race 2 hours against probably like 7 Mustangs. Im really sorry.
A 90 min race is very hard on me already, so I really need motivation to do those races, and 2 hours+ is insanely hard on me. I have a muscular disease which causes me to fatigue fast.
I too want to see large grids, and have what we had throughout most of last season, but I just dont have it in me any more, to spent 90-120 min (+ practise and qual) as a grid filler. I could barely get myself to do a 15 min race against 7-8 opponents, I think. I used to be that kinda guy, always on the grid no matter the field size, but nowadays Im just looking for some sanctuary where I can enjoy my hobby, served on a silver platter basicly. That is the honest truth.

I have another noob question for anyone willing to listen. How to join the server when it is available? Will it be listed in the Dashboard?
