Wing was 9/13

other than that pretty standard

Top replay, that was some good racing there.

Server is now changed for this weekends race - Holiday Preview Mod.

[mj04uk]

Race tonight is at 9pm after Top Gear, you'll have to catch the other show later on iPlayer

[mj04uk]

Think it is in the HistorX mod (GTL) or in the Legends one.

[mj04uk]

Update - TG finishes at 9.15, so free practice starts from then, quali starts at 9.30 sharp

Had a good first race with PV - damn you passing me on the line !!

Second race was a bit st, had a coming together with PV (note the common theme here) and span miles of the track and got a stop/go when I finally rejoined, kept going but got black flagged ( I asked the steward of the race what was wrong with entering the pits sideways at 100MPH - he had no comment)

Need a suggestion for this weekends mess about - car and track please.

The FBMW's have had the best reception so far so will create a new Calendar for that today and post up for comment.

How does this look ?

Where there are multiple layouts - can someone decide what they want to do - 1st post back confirms the layout to be used.

Next week? loved the old BMW 2002s myself, never seemed to get to race them much though, were they not liked?

Can't remember these ones ? - Are you talking about the E320's ?

[mj04uk]

Ah yes, you did see the deliberate mistake - 10 points to that man

Which track then PV ? for the BMW's - they are already on the server and can upload a track quickly from work.

Ahvenisto is on the server too and is quite a tricky one - lots of elevation changes

Holst can you give it a try - I recall you having issues in the past with FPS hits.

I'll set the server up tomorrow for people to try it out anyway.

Just downloaded it and driven a couple of laps to see what the FPS is like for me, with just me on track it's between 40-50 fps which is quite low, I usually see nothing below 60 and on most tracks 80-120fps. I think it's all the trees so maybe turning down circuit detail might help.

Ps. the track is almost all 1st & 2nd gear corners and short straights and one long curved straight where I barely get into 4th.

Maybe best to do a different track then - suggestions ?

FourWheelDrift said:

Ignore last suggestion, I have just re-found the best fantasy track made for rFactor, right up with Toban in quality.

GP-200 made by Mr track and mod genuis MadCowie. Long straight, all types of corners, swooping uphil and blind crests with a roller coaster back stretch

Really good flowing track - should make for an interesting race. I'll get the server changed tomorrow.

Had a 7 lap AI race, managed a 1'25'6 on the last lap

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.
