Although Practice officially starts 0830, I'll start server at 0815 with 45mins so to allow people to sort any connection issues

LMU Update: We will run at least six AI LMP cars alongside the human GTEs. If you’ve not been practising with AI LMP cars on track, it is suggested that you do so. Also consider using Crew Chief or another AI-aware companion app.
SR4L LMU 1HR Sunday 12th April 8:30AM (yes! AM!) start of practise for race start at 9:AM. GTEs at Portimao (see threads on SCB/SR4L Discord and in LMU Community Racing section below).
<insert excuse here> Track will be up late morning for today. I’ll try Donington GP first - if that’s too long, Brands GP.
@Dimitris We race with SCB on Thursdays. This week its https://discord.com/channels/82076982144...7861828608 We use their Voice chat as well on Thursday.
Had a great time yesterday but i had to go,always nice place to be here!So next race Thursday?GTR?Croft?
Yes, sorry ‘7PM UK time’ is the universal catch-all. Great to seen you join the grid again, Dimitrios. We will drive the rest of the UK Track Pack courses over the next few weeks (Brands, Croft, Donington). Croft, I think, will probably be in the GTRs again. Brands, maybe. Donington - we did this fairly recently in the GTRs in a 3rd party version of the track - maybe we can use the GP track for once - in something a bit quicker?
…and don’t forget we’ve decided to use the GT Revival cars again instead of the BT44s. Only one server is up now.
Dimitris - yes, we gather at 7PM for 30 minutes before the first race. We don’t do a separate Qualy session any more - so your time in that final practice session will determine your first-race grid. The races are 10 minutes long - so probably 6 or 7 laps depending on the speed and luck of the leader. We generally keep racing with the last race starting at about 8:30 PM - reverse grid each race.
OK, Ed. I've just tried it again now the track is rubbered in and it feels much better. Let's race GTRs again then...
The sale price of the pack has ended, I hope everyone bought it while it was cheap.
I think the GTRs feel great at Thruxton. Here's a real E Type onboard - quite a bit slower than the GTRs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyOpaNA2v9c
Tuesday: Thruxton from the UK Trackpack. I’ve loaded two servers. My preference is for the Brabham BT44s as they have the speed to suit the circuit and see to handle ok (the bumps re a bit much for some other fast stuff). The backup is the GTRs on the other server - but I feel they aren’t quick enough for the circuit and will feel a bit flat…
I prefer this for meaningful discussions - Discord gets very fragmented and messy...
