I have an e30 325i, a e34 540i and a VX commonwhore for when the other two are broke (all the time).

It was really surreal using a friends occulus and trying the e30 in game. Felt just like sitting in my car except I was in the left seat

Cramers!! Good to see you!
Always room for you on Cramdick racing or we would not be Cramdick racing!

A 540i you say?? Well you have just totally blown my 116i out of the park! But, let's race!! Scarborough beach??

Glad to hear it! I'll get some practice in next few weeks and get back into it.

Yeah - how about at the track? I'm prepping my e30 for a couple track days at barbagallo. Gonna try this whole racing thing in real life.

The 540 is a bit of a mess at the moment. Might be a while until its right (manual).

I'm gonna have to pull out of this season fellas. Taken on a new role at work and won't be able to reliably make it to each race. Chuck me on the reserves list and if it lines up one or two weeks, great.

Happy racing, y'all!

Sorry guys I'm gonna have to give this one a miss. I seem to be having major internet issues at home and don't want to ruin anyone elses race with warping or lag. I've got a new router/switch under the tree so should all be sorted for next year! Have a safe and fun Christmas & New years and I'll see y'all soon

Lots of cool stuff! The mrs is at her staff xmas party so a mate and I are moving my rig infront of the 60" tv. Won't be as fun as the rift but even so, looking forward to some fun!

I had loads of fun. With the PC and net issues sorted it was great to be running somewhat competitively. The back of the pack is racing very clean now from what I've seen so it makes for a lot of fun even when you're not at the front.

A general lack of practice (car, track & wallys app) made for some silly mistakes but I really enjoyed the racing 

See y'all next week!

I was having horrible FPS issues and also intermittent lag. Down the straights I had a solid 140 fps but through corners it would drop below 30. After dropping all my settings to medium (I used to run everything on ultra high except AA) it was somewhat okay.

First race I got lag-bumped and shunted on the first lap when someone behind warped into me. Nobodys fault but I had to go into the pits and ended up a lap down. Not wanting to hold anyone up I bailed in the hope I could sort out my lag/gfx problems.

Second race I got into to qualy with 3 seconds left. Starting from the back I ended up coming through the turn 2/3 incident and getting a tap ending up in the gravel. FPS dropped to 10-20 and I started warping so bailed.

Every other game I play works just fine, no problems. I'll try find a graphics setup that works for me and get a new modem (still no upgrade  ). Hopefully next race is kinder!

Sorry, Wally, but I'll have to miss this round. The joys of family business  I'll be there next week for sure!
