Fun Though going in cold can be.. disadvantageous. Never driven the Meganes, never driven Toban. Apologies to anyone who got frustrated by the rolling chicane

Sorry I missed this one as I was spending way too much time getting the ADC server up and running for our Big Race this afternoon (congrats to Frank btw for the win).
I thought at first that it was going to rotate between the Porkers and the Megane not that they would be on track together.
That does sound interesting, how did it go competition wise between the two cars today?

Birdski has a good point though, on tracks that have multiple layouts it would be nice to have them all loaded and rotate through them when we are running multiple races.

Thanks and hope to see you on track soon, David K

The track for Wednesday evening, July 1 and Saturday, July 4 id GP-200 International

where?

One of the big goals of the regenerated Fun Series is to run only new tracks we've not held events before on. This is a good example of an rFactor "sleeper" track that I'll bet few of you have heard of before. Least I hadn't till I went searching yesterday. Anyhow, the rar is here, and SimHQ Motorsports 3 is online:

I'll be there Wednesday!

A reminder the race servers will be offline for the ArmA event this evening starting around 8 PM eastern time (US) for 4 hours.

Yay! I'm going to try to make it for Wed. This will be my first attempt at online racing.

Great news, Spliff. Make sure you hop on Teamspeak; even if you don't have a mic it's much more enjoyable.

13 racers tonight. Good racing. Saturdays race make sure you have headlights!

Yes very good racing indeed. I do apologice for my lousy starts , guess I should practice those.
That night race was a good idea. It was definately interesting.

Fantastic racing indeed. LC, I do apologise for the clumsy bumps in race two ... I was having trouble predicting your line and braking points ... mind you, largely on account of my own rusty (read 'poor') racecraft. With a few more races, I'm hoping to become less of a hazard.

The choice of Meganes and Porsches is working very well. Off the line, on long straights and on medium/high speed sweepers, the Megane can't touch the porkers. But on slow speed corners (especially those followed by short straights), a well-driven Megane has a chance. This means that, while the PCC's are undoubtedly the quicker class, the Meganes can on occasion get uppity if the track layout plays to their strengths.

All this makes for fantastic racing! I would vote against handicapping the Meganes ... after all, this is a multi-class format, and its OK for the higher class to dominate most tracks.

Besides, if a Megane were to take an overall victory somewhere, it'd just give us Megane pilots some extra, particularly satisfying bragging rights.
