rFactor 2008 season warm-up

[R1 GTR]

OK so the new season is starting soon, so does anyone fancy a warm-up tonight? I'll make sure im around from 8pm if anyone wants to meet up.

[rebelstar]

Good idea. Where are we meeting? Is our server still up and running?

[R1 GTR]

Argh network problems again!

Don't know tbh havnt checked, will see but if not what else can we do?

[R1 GTR]

OK, the V8 league server is up with Philip Island GP on. Dont know how long its been like that but anyway. What mods should we use?

[rebelstar]

But it's not running the current version of the software so I can't connect to it :-(

[R1 GTR]

i just tried dwonloading it but its gonna take aaaaaaaaages. Might have a hoon some other time.

[R1 GTR]

Just a bump really to see if anyone fancies a practise night tonight?

[Mr_Yogi]

Well I would be up for a blast but i'm about to watch Over the Hedge with the Mrs

maybe tomorrow?

[mj04uk]

Just in the process of rebuilding my PC ready for the new league. Hopefully be ok for this evening if anyone is about ?

Can't host, but perhaps someone else can - or just gatecrash a server online

[Altrezia]

I'd be up for a race tonight

[R1 GTR]

Me too, although its a school night. This school malarky really gets in the way of my social life.

Edit: Best time round Brands is 1:27.299

Edit 2: 1:26.042

Is there anyone here who has access to the server? Can we have it opened please?

[Mr_Yogi]

1:25.254

[R1 GTR]

Ok ok, 1:25.925 is my final effort for now. But considering i was always 1-2 seconds off the pace in the previous leagues, i think thats a jolly good time for me. Maybe i could be competitive this season?

Mr Yogi, was that a flying lap or are you consistantly in the 1:25s (i.e. for race pace)?

[Mr_Yogi]

Flying lap

and with the shortest final drive

[FourWheelDrift]

I'm staying for now.

[Altrezia]

Must be able to get 1:22's, even 1:21s? I did a 1:25 on my first 'quick' lap - after only 3 other laps ever in the lambos. (and one of them went into the inside of druids!)

[mj04uk]

Arse... finally traced my PC's auto-shutdown to a dodgy GPU driver and a knackered stick of Ram.

Rebuild complete, I go and activate rFactor to find out my license renewals have all been used Have emailed TryMedia to sort out (plus bought a new copy off Amazon just in case)

Looks like I'll have limited practice before we start next weekend.....

[FourWheelDrift]

Go to RSC and the rFactor forums and email Gjon of ISI directly.

In that case i would like to point out the only setup changes i made were 15 laps worth of fuel and soft compound tyres. Mine was a flying lap too, typically 1:26s.
