I honestly cannot recall *ever* hearing the F-bomb on TeamSpeak. The very occasional "$#!+!", a "damn!" or two, and more often me trying to get my dogs to shut the heck up about the "Ninja Squirrels" approaching across the driveway. I know I've heard far worse on "The Simpsons"...

G25 here, not much mapped except the pit speed limiter on the shifter lower row, and brake bias on the upper / lower button diamond on top. It's been so long since I've had time to run rFactor, I really can't remember the keys.

I would appreciate some pro/con feedback on this.

I'd like to see us stay with the Meganes / Porsches / built-in rFacotr cars through the end of September, then switch off to this:

...for the last quarter of the year. We wouldn't run all classes each week, but rather would run different cars of one class each week.

For the Fun Series, we would stay with 5 and 10 lap races, one after another, with some mandatory pit stops and compressed time.

If there is enough positive reaction, and the game server survives past year end, we my want to look at that class of car for a new series post the F1 year. My idea would be to run short races with the cars along the lines of 2x 30 minute races for that new series.

Looking forward to the race tonight. I ran some laps last night, and it was a good thing I did. Up until now I had been running with anti-lock brakes on, so I turned that off, and am getting used to that (ie. not making a huge smoke show at every corner). I am running around 1:30-1:33 consistently, but got a few laps in at 1:27 and 1:28.

Anyway, I may be slightly late meeting up with you guys, but I will do my best to get there on time.

guod, I couldn't get that link to view properly for the cars you mention to switch to. Is it this one: Le Mans 2.77

How do the cars behave in that mod? Currently, I am pretty comfortable with the Meganes, but I have problems still with the Porsches. I am hoping to be able to regularly make the fun series, but I am pretty open to what you guys want to race, since at this point I am a total newb, and don't really know one way or another.



Cheers!

Yes.

Obviously it is too late for me this evening as it will be 3am my time and I'm not on holiday.

For Saturday I can't be there from the start, but I should be able to join later, provided you are still there after 2am - which I hope for.

Regarding the LeMans series, personally I`d prefer the 1970s series then with shorter races of 15 minutes. I don't know, maybe this should be tested before? That said, any series is still better than no series at all, so I'm principally fine with it.

Good fun tonight everyone.

I look forward to more in the future!


Cheers!

Saturday's racing will again be the Meganes at Orchard Park Grand Prix.

Next week will be Meganes at a track never run on SimHQ, Varano de'Melegari 1.10.

You can download it here:
http://www.simhq.net/downloads/motorsports/rfactor/SimHQ_2009_Fun_Series/varano_1.1.rar

The layout used will be the non-offroad version.

The track is set for todays racing.

So how was the racing today guys, sorry I couldn't make it. I should be there for this Wednesday night.

Speaking of which, I had a quick look at the course (the Varano), and I was having problems.

If someone has some time, could you post a replay track of you running that course so I can get an idea of racing line, braking points and gear? I am going to try to run this race with auto-shifting off, and see how it goes.

Cheers!

Fun racing on Saturday at Orchard Park. Good turnout too! Encouraging. Seems the Wednesday night US and midday worldwide approach is working well.

I would still like to get SOME COMMENTS on my proposal here:
http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2857312/Re_STICKY_The_SimHQ_Fun_Series.html#Post2857312

Varano is up for practice on SimHQ Motorsports 1. Since there is no F1 race next weekend, it'll be online all week.
