I had gMotor 2 errors with the mod, no idea what the problem was as this didn't come up in the practice races. I could load the races fine locally though.

I think it where only the 2 of us. And I started the mayhem by running wide, hitting the wall and flipping it right infront of you. Sorry about that.

What a fun mod and a great group to run it with!

Had some problems with my CSP pedals just before the start of the first race, but could solve the problem just in time for the Monza event by partially disasemble them and changing a PCB.
As a Fanatec CSP user you sure got to know your pedals inside out after awhile and that service time is starting to get pit-stop quality.

Monza was a mixed bag for me because right at the start for that 20 min race I lost my FFB and needed some laps to adopt, by which Arthur had already opened a nice gap and it sure didnīt help he was trying to set a new track record every lap. Great driving by him!

Though driving without any FFB was unfamiliar and the wheel felt like a wet noodle after a long day in a pasta machine, I was quite surprised being as fast as I was with FFB after only a few laps.
Must be a Monza thing I guess?!

The race at Watkins Glen was fun and I had some great close racing with Darren and Pumbaa during the first laps.
With both having some bad luck I could open a gap and concentrate on keeping it on the grey stuff for the rest of the race.

Even with some glitches for some of us during the event today, I hope we will do another race series with those cars.
Best racing fun I had for awhile!

Well I had issues with my equipment today whic cost me so I will just chalk this one up to a bad day at the office lol.
Frank if you think this was great racing today you should join us mor often cos this is the quality of racing we usually have irrespective of which mod we happen to be running. These guys are quite honestly the best group of racers I have ever raced with when it comes to the right attitude.

Great but crazy day at the races...

This mod is such a blast... I love it... But so many issues made it crazy... Maybe it was because there were 3 tracks loaded on the server, or maybe it was just a weird internet thing because of the 2 SimHQ Motorsports 1 servers that were up before the races started and it just never cleared up... Until others started having issues I thought it was a anti-Ferrari conspiracy or something with both Ahmad and Arthur coping the most problems... Hard luck guys...

I had some great battles out there today, but just couldn't do better than 2 2nds... Still was a blast...

Thanks to Doug for hosting and all who made the racing possible... Can't wait for the next classic race...

Race Winners!

Congratulations to Darren who won the Montjuic race literally with smoke, luck, and great driving!

Congratulations to Arthur who won the Monza 20 minute race with luck, great driving, and literally... tape!

Congratulations to Darren who won the Monza 10 minute race!

Congratulations to Frank who won the Watkins Glen 40 minute race with smooth and great driving!



What an Event!

...in more ways than one.

I sincerely want to thank everyone for keeping their cool (better than I did!) and staying with the day.

We did get some great racing in, but it took everyone to work with the mess and maintain composure. So thank you!

We did pretty good on attendance with just a few of those that signed-up missing the event. Considering we had IP roulette, that in itself is a minor miracle!

Sounds like there was some good racing, even with any technical problems. That era's one of my favorite.

Sorry I missed it, had something come up pretty unexpectedly that took up most of my Sunday. It figures, I was at least able to see the Top 5 in these cars most of the time at all the tracks so I was bound to miss it...oh well, things happen.

Well I managed to fix my issues! I think that reinstall over the old install I tried on the server didn't work so I totally deleted that install of RF lite and copied over a new version. I then installed the F1 71mod in that and My sound problems are no more. I have no idea what was causing the issue as even without teamspeak, the sound would still disappear. Moving the level in the mixer would work for a while then the fault would re-appear even with the speaker control highlited as suggested by Doug. rFactor sure has some strange ways about it but I am posting this here just in case anyone has the same problem with their sounds. It seems the best fix for anything going awry in rFactor is "Clean install from Scratch"

For me it was pure pain and struggle.
I was out of town last week, and arrived home 1 hour before the races.
I realised that I choose a turbine car for monza, whith only 1 gear, so I had to do some serious setup in that one hour.
I had that bad feeling before every race, which I had in the 1986 F1 mod, my first series with you guys.
I couldn't handle the throttle smooth enough to keep these beasts straight, I just prayed through the event, not to ruin anyone's race.
Despite that, I had fun, it was a huge challenge just to stay on track.
Surprisingly, I was quite OK with the turbine car at monza, however, for the last 10 minutes I had to use it on 75% power only, because of overheating. I could pull of a good result during the sprint race, but made some stupid braking mistake (even with that, I managed to stay in the lead lap, which I consider a huge achievement).
At Glen, I was quite OK, but when I managed to hit Darren 2 times in 20 secs, I decided to quit, just to keep away from traffic.
Next time I wont jump in a car like this without any practise.
Anyway, I still really enjoyed it, and would do it again.
Thanks

(But, there is no f***n way I would sit in any of these in real life)

I would pay for
