The server is still set to Ahvenisto by the way...

Ahvenisto is the real track but too tight for the BMWs and poor FPS, it needs to be on GP-200. smile

And yes I thought it was 8pm as well.

GP200 doesn't seem to be on the server at all... and it's not as simple as unpacking it with this server, we need a "blank" server locally and create a new profile specifically for the track we're racing. It's a bit of a hassle and unless Mark pulls a rabbit out of his hat, it's not going to happen tonight.

Seeing as it's only a mess about, are we OK for the other track?

I'm advancing the server through the available tracks one at a time, until something suitable shows up.

Just had a quick go at GP200, tis very good and not too hard to get the hang of, however if the server is unable to be updated in time then what about brands hatch, donnington, silverstone or even Toban, everyone must know those by now wink

Top man Mark, it's ready. Shall we say 2100 for start of qualifying?

Think I lost sync at the start of the second race or something.

The lights didn't go red/green then suddenly when you all shot off the grid I went and got disqualified for a false start.

OOPS, I got so carried away testing the Formula BMW at Knockhill I didn't notice the time. Hope the race tonight goes well.

Final Result of 2008

http://www.mercia.biz/mj/2008%20Season/PH_end_of_s...

It was a good race, marred but lapses in concentration, FWD was stupid quick. Good circuit though and good testing ground for future mods.

Good Track and the E21's were great fun. I got a good start in race 1, and was making progress up the outside, next to the pit wall until my way became blocked by a sideways Adam hehe I recovered and drove pretty well and had a good tussel with Andy on the last couple of laps. All was going well until I lost it on the steep downhill section on the last lap cry

With me promising performance from race 1, I was looking forward to starting on pole for race 2. Unfortunately as the timer hit 0 i realised I couldn't actually see the lights, I furiously flicked between views but to no avail so had to wait until the car in my rear view started to move banghead
I then unsurprisingly got punted up the rear and found myself in last place on the start/ finish straight, pointing the wrong way rolleyes
Put in a few laps but after a couple of crashes and being 10+ seconds behind the next car I decided to call it a night.

Bet we never imagined that rFactor would replace the actual Le Mans race one day, with current F1 drivers racing alongside sim racers, and Greger Huttu from GPL era still up there with the best! wobble
