I have to work tonight so I can't make the races, but the server is up for 5 lappers so have at it. I'm going to add Lienz 2 just in case you guys don't like running Varano. Remember the server can be advanced/restarted with 1 vote.

Had fun again tonight.

Apologies for T1 at Vagano, I definitely caused one (maybe two even) of those pileups that caused a restart.

I am totally not used to driving in a pack with human opponents, driving against the AI just doesn't prepare you for that.

Thanks also for the tips throughout the night, much appreciated. I think I am going to play with Traction Control on for now until I get quite a bit better. I found Vagano much less frustrating once I turned it on.

Cheers!

Apologies for not showing up, been dealing with a suspected H1N1 infection since Monday.

It's just no dang fun to sit at the computer, alternately shivering and drenched in sweat.

I won't post this after every session, but until I have the website setup with proper links and such, here are a couple of the race results from last night:

I am going to do some 'tracking' on my progression and (hopefully) improvement in rFactor both online and offline. There are some interesting tools for statistics. Last night (after the races), I separated out a driver profile for racing online and one for offline, in order to do proper 'career reporting'.

I will post again once I have the website setup.

Cheers!

Hi guys, just wanted to introduce myself.

I am a friend of Haphazard and have been racing as him (much to his protest) in the past 2 or 3 fun series races.

I have heard a lot about rFactor and the SimHQ community and have always wanted to get into it. Hap let me use his setup as a testing ground. I enjoyed myself a lot and decided to take a deeper look into the world of sim racing.

I am still very new to this (never played a sim before) so excuse me if I do something silly (like not letting you pass when you are laping me :P). I am still trying to learn all the ropes but I am sure it will come to me quickly Feel free to point out any blatant faux pas you see me commit. I am usually up on TS during race time.


Looking forward to our next race

Might not it make tonight as its Eid Al-Fitr* here today.. gonna get some shuteye if possible.

* Eid Al-Fitr: The day of celebration after the month of Ramadan, 1 of 2 annual "holidays" Muslims get

Welcome KelSjet!

Welcome KelSjet!

I was going to say that thankfully now I am not the newest driver, but if you have had a couple fun series races then we are at the same level

Cheers!

Next week:

Porsches at Death Valley Raceway

Download the PCC Porsches mod:

Download the Death Valley Raceway:
http://www.simhq.net/downloads/motorsports/rfactor/SimHQ_2009_Fun_Series/DeathValleyV11_install.rar

From within rFactor, select "Porsche Mobil1 Supercup 2007". Those will be the only version running next week. All upgrades available on the server.

Need some feedback on this track/car combination. The faster Porsches with the faster, multi-elevation Death Valley track seems like a good mix, but if you all think differently, please speak up. If you like it please speak up too.

TIA!

Server is up-and-running with the cars and track right now.
