    I'm not sure I can make this race. I will not unregister, maybe I will be able to do it.
    So, if I won't be present at the start, the reason is cold, mud and mtb ;)

    Just to let you all know ... I view 10 signups (of which maybe 8 will show up) as not enough for broadcasting.
    This service has to be paid for by me and hiring a team of 3 broadcasters is a bit overkill for 8 drivers on the server.
    I am now in conversation with the broadcast team if we will continue the broadcast for the last 2 events.

    2 MORE CARS ADDED TO THE CAR PACK

    2 more cars have been added to the car pack of the BTCC 1990 mod and it seems a shame not to include them.
    They are now also part of this championship. The server has been adjusted to include these 2 cars.

    Please download the 2 cars below through Steam:

    BMW E36 320I STW
    FORD SIERRA RS500 COSWORTH

    Drivers briefing


    1. All 6 events of this series will be broadcasted (not certain, depends on nr of drivers on the server)

    Broadcast team: EithaRacingTeam
    Broadcasters: Lorenzo, Sameer & Ricardo
    Twitch broadcast link:
    https://www . twitch . tv / eitharacing (delete the spaces)
    Or go to the headlines on top of the homepage on race day.

    2. The use of the Esc. key in Qualification
    Use of the Esc key during Qualifying is the equivalent of stopping your car and getting out. This may be done only in your pit stall. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Here are the only two we will currently consider. These exceptions are subject to change at any time:
    1. You run out of fuel in pit lane before reaching your pit stall.
    2. You sustain damage to your car as a result of another driver and cannot make it back to your pit stall. You must prove your qualifying session was wrecked by another driver and that you made an attempt to return to pit lane.

    If you use the Esc key in any location other than your pit stall, your Qualifying session is over and you may not return to the track.

    3. Donington GP Conditions
    1) The race will start at 02:00 PM (in-game time of course)
    2) Time acceleration is normal. Fuel and Tires are set to normal.
    3) Cut Track points are set to 10
    4) This race has 100% damage
    5) There is no mandatory pitstop
    6) This event has a formation lap & standing start, so put 1 lap of extra fuel in.

    4. You can find the password for the race server on the Donington GP event page.

    5. You can find the server by first typing sro


    6. Unregistering in time if you can't make it.

    7. No-shows (keeping the entry list real)

    If a driver does not show without unregistering for that event or letting us know that he can't make it on the event forum, he will be removed from the series.
    If he is no longer interested in the series, it's fine like it is.
    If he forgot about the event, he can sign up for the series again.


    (You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can unregister only for the event you can't do.)

    8. Please use the same name in the rFactor 2 game as on our signup list or it won't match in our automated result processing.

    9. If you plan to PROTEST another driver, you have to wait 24 hours counting from the end of the race.
    Any protest filed before that time will be viewed as not received. You can find the rules about submitting a protest here.

    10. Last but not least ... SIMRACINGONLINE wishes you a great race!

    Well i was fooling around with bmw on server and that was really smooth and predictable drive.
    Then 10minutes before Q i saw nobody else had rwd so swapped to volvo.
    Lost positions at start but was nice drive anyhow. Had to adapt quick and try to find pace. Chasing @Mark Hightree was great and eventually got better exit out of T1. Nice close driving for a good amount.
    Next to chase was @Robin Taylor and had pace there too but lost it under braking. As his braking point was so different, i had to hit it while weight of the car was about to transfer and wasnt settled into straight.
    Tried one more lap but had lost over second of my pace. Was nothing to do any more so quit.
    Fun until crash.

    Too bad you didn't take the BMW. It would be interesting to see how the comparison is over the race distance.

    Nice race, great combo. Had a lot of fun racing and then watching recorded stream.
    Congratulation EithaRacing for a very good stream/comment.
    Related to my "lack of defense" well ... (without offending anyone) I was hit from behind soooo many times, so now I prefer to "play safe". It is just club racing and I'm here to have fun driving this amazing cars around the track with like-minded people

    So agree with Flaviu. Agressive defending is kinda silly.

    Have to edit and add: unless defender is clearly pissed off about something and wants to revenge! :D
