I'll keep an eye on the room numbers tonight, at what point will the cut off be before allowing reserves into the room? 5 mins before qualifying?

Don't worry. Until now, it never happened that everybody was there. With 16 sign-ups, we never had more than 14 people in the lounge and often only 8 to 10.

Congrats Teeds. And great race guys.
Teeds took the pole, 1 second before I pushed on the start button.
I think I have to learn how you start. If I have a good place on the grid like today, I lose 5 or 6 places before the first corner.
For the rest: great race. In my first stint, I had some great fights with Sientex (as usual!), ID (who did a great braking passing on my at the hairpin!) and driftking.
There were some discussions after the race about some car touches. Here a little reminder:
1) car in front chooses corner line
2) when you are just behind a car, take care to brake in time; the car in front of you may brake early
3) a defensive corner line is allowed.
Remember that the side-view is not as good as in a real race car. A car that was there and that you can't see most of the time is at your left or right.
Last point: @Scanny_Flick: at the beginning of qualifying, your car was a ghost during about a lap. That's why I passed through you. Problem had disappeared during the race.

Race result is not definitive. I just watched the replay and saw some things I do not like to see. Stewards will do their job.
If you like the Golf, you will like this Le Mans Two Speed single event too.

Some general problems seen today:
- Lap 1 was problematic, with cars passing through each other, cars hitting everywhere.
- Penalty system creates big problems: cars ghost immediately when they go of the blue line or when they brake late; many "ghost passes through other car" incidents.
What we will do next week:
- Rolling start after 1 warming up lap to avoid lap 1 problems
- Penalties off in order to avoid car ghosting (especially on the Madrid track, where we had already problems with penalties and car ghosting, )

What an excellent race, A big thanks to cobrius that battle was great, excellent driving mate 👍
I should have followed you into the pits as i pushed wide in t1 on the next lap and gave you enough room to slip away from me
I cant wait for round 2
I got a question from S4marsh about lapped cars. Lapped car should not interfere into the battle of the cars that lap hem and not try to avoid lapping cars to lap them.
Looked again at the replay of my fight with Sientex: thanks mate! What a great battle. A school example of a clean fight. We were fighting during 15 laps without any real major incidents. We took our defensive (and counter-defensive) lines but left just enough space for a car to pass, and the car passed. The only time a car contact made me hit the inside barriers at the hairpin, Sientex accelerated deliberately slowly enough to permit me to take my place back.
i want to apology what happen in the race, not my intention, its good that u have the time penalty. ill try be better next race, and ill see the replay one more time, more particulary my last overtake. I made many mistakes, i now if i dont go agaist the wall so many times i can run for th 4th place. hope u understand that i dont have to much practise but always try to be clean and fair, at the same time, i race in my limit, sometimes i pass it, sorry. hope not happen in the next race.
Edit: after see the replay, i see that i was involved in too much wall contacts, not cars. after get blooked in 1st lap and went to last position, i retrive my 6 th position easely even constact blocking from some players. ill be better next time...

I'm accustomed to the rules of the TOCA Series, which uses its own set of rules instead of the official GTP OLR guide. The Golf felt crap to drive compared to my TOCA car (an Atenza touring car) but I'm guessing that's because the roll bars were at 3/3.

Practicing Madrid in my lounge I'm turning mid to very low 1:30's up to 20 + laps.
I'm trying for a set up that retains good control through out the tire wear range.
Of course I mean under steer control. lol.

Sorry guys won't make tonight. Have foolishly double booked myself, doubt I'll make next week so if you need my place feel to allocate. Apologies for my stupidity... After my abject performance last week, it now leaves last place wide open!
