* WELCOME TO ROUND 2 OULTON PARK 60s *


1968 British Saloon Car Championship (Oulton Park at 23:39 min/sec)

Oulton Park is a hard surfaced track used for motor racing, close to the village of Little Budworth, Cheshire, England. It is about 5-mile (8.0 km) from Winsford, 13-mile (21 km) from Chester city centre, 8-mile (13 km) from Northwich and 17-mile (27 km) from Warrington, with a nearby rail connection along the Mid-Cheshire Line. It occupies much of the area which was previously known as the Oulton Estate. The racing circuit is owned and operated by Jonathan Palmer's MotorSport Vision organisation.

Circuit
The track is characterised by rapidly changing gradients, blind crests and several tight corners. The full circuit is 2.692 mi (4.332 km). The highest part of the course is Hill Top. Paddock facilities are reasonable in size with large areas of hard-standing and some power points.

The race track can be adapted for shorter courses. The "Foster's" Circuit, which is 1.660 mi (2.672 km), comprises half of the "Cascades" corner followed by the "Hislop's" chicane, it then heads onto Knickerbrook and up the 13% gradient of Clay Hill to work its way round to the start/finish straight. The British Touring Car Championships uses all of the Cascades Corner and Lakeside but then forks off into a hairpin before Island Bend. This hairpin cuts out all of the Island section of the circuit and takes the cars straight back over Hill Top.

Beginning in 2007, all the circuit's marshalling stations were redesigned with protective cages. This was to prevent incidents similar to those seen in the 2006 season when cars had collided with marshalling posts. A cage-protected marshals station was also built at the bottom of the back straight near the chicane preceding Knickerbrook.

Hadn't occurred to me.
I'll look into that.

 

Hi Matias,
I always use the the pre-made real road of the track (light, medium etc.) and if that's not there I use "naturally progressing" for practice. As I understand it, it builds during the race itself. If I'm missing something or could do something better, please let me know.

 

I agree. Will re-set the server tonight.

 

Custom skins

It's great that we have a lot of artists who colour the field with their custom skins.
But not all skins are done correctly. Some skins create gmotor errors that can cause a lot of lag on the server for everybody.

Be sure that you enter the server with a "clean" skin. If you have a skin that is causing problems, please leave the server and come back with a default skin.
Thanks!

 

PITLANE SPEED LIMIT

The pitlane speed limit has been adjusted to 400 KPH.

This is because the pit entry light is not at the correct place as opposed to where the actual pitlane entry limit line is.
The pit exit works correctly, but that doesn't matter now with the new pitlane speed limit

Just be careful that you don't overshoot your pit box in the race!

 

John I'm playing the Devil's Advocate here, how does somebody know if they don't have a "clean" skin or that it is their skin that is actually causing the problem? What is the "correct" way to do a skin which will not cause problems? Should we set out a standard skin creation process for skins to be used at SRO and have members validate & confirm they have used that methodology or is that too extreme?
