Season 6 Cobra Cup
Season 7 Mazda/Caterham Cup

Our Gratulin suggested running a longer series, in parallel to both the real F1 and the V8 series. Given how much we enjoyed the Cobra, it's time to pull it out once again from the corner of the racing car stable.
Having said that, many have agreed already that the Mazda Miata mod is a laudable piece of work and very ‘club car’ like machine.

So to satisfy all of the above we have the upcoming Season 6 & 7 running through many weeks, allowing to run BOTH the Cobra and the Mazda providing variety of cars and with some opportunities to have a break along the way as we head towards the end of the second half of the year.

To me, the programme looks simple to follow… if there are questions, please post them here.
We will have a ‘good’ race server running on the race night.
Stracker live may not be available at all times, race results and Championship progress may be a screen grab, but it will be there and updated weekly, post race.

If you have a favourite skin for the Cobra, it will be used again, any updated need to emailed to flattops.email AT gmail.com.
Mazda skins send to the same email above.

Yeah, i only did a couiple of laps and thought...hmmm challenging. so only 20 laps
Now I am happy to have my mind changed.

[Joe]

I've never even driven the Cobra. May have to download it tonight and give it a go.

Talking of Corbas, here's me and my friend about to take his Dad's kit car for a spin 10+ years ago

[Bruce]

It is in the install.
That would have been a hoot

[Gratulin]

Joe, the Cobra we are using should be the standard AC one so no need to download he mod.

[Bacchulum]

Just tried the server.
Checksum failed.
I'm using v0.9.5 of Hungaroring (what the link links to).

And are we really going to still use Mosport after Thursday's test?!?

I'll check it out. I could connect before so will re-download the track and see.

[Gratulin]

@bacchulum should be ok now. Had an old version of the track but thought it was the latest.

EDIT: timing seems not quite right but should be ok to use.

I think the track's grip is set to a maximum of something quite low compared to others, that's why it's so slippery.

No working track map on this one?

If you delete map.png and data\map.ini in the track folder then start AC and launch the track. First time you will get an error. launch the track again and the map will be built.

[Joe]

Well having not driven the cobra before I can say I need a lot more practice before Thursday. Just put in a couple of hours and didn't manage 2 consecutive laps. What a handful!

[Gratulin]

Flattop, do you want to allow traction control? It is a bit easier to control with it on?
