No sound out of my centre speaker (were I have TS) and then lost my steering wheel driver, which it sometimes does. Got things working again just in time for a race restart - thanks guys. I think my centre speaker is just dead, after fiddling with a few different things (Logitech Z506).First race was a practice run on a tricky track to learn. Race 2 was great fun though, scrapping side by side with Marty, Grubbet and Gratulin. Sorry for the bump in the rear Gratulin, on the final turn up the hill, I found myself carrying a lot more speed than you suddenly and had nowhere to go, but at least I just pushed you up the hill a bit I bumped someone side by side in the dying stages of the race though (maybe Gwyar) and spun off into the wall and dropped about 6 places. I didn't watch the replay yet, so I don't know what happened there. Still a lot of fun though.Only a few of us stayed for the F1 car. Quite a handful! Easy to lock up brakes, easy to power oversteer, easy to spin. But yes, it is a good mod that feels quite believable.

I think this combo was a really magical one, and the racing was really good and close.

Not sure my setup is that good for speed, but it does look good in the replay...Sachsenring is a must for future events... and I did hear the talk around the Spielberg track... it is the A1 track, now I know it, but Gratulin thanks for the invite, but I was struggling at the end of a second bout of a virus in a month!

I enjoy trying out the circuits at the same time a the real races are on. Just for casual racing at the present.

Exiting out wide onto kerbs was a big no no so I mostly took it a bit easier then needed. Race 1 was fun I just tried to push as hard as possible early starting near the back, hoped to get onto the back of Phil to help get the lines a bit better. Was fun fighting through the pack, I did have contact with Dave O as he re entered the track on lap 1 which put him into the wall. I was just holding my line though with someone on my outside and he came back and just drove into my path so there was no much I could do.Ended up getting to second after a few laps and tried to hunt down Phil but I couldn't quite put a lap together and didn't make any progress from there.Race 2 Early on was a good battle but then Wally got a kerb and spun right in front of me, I had it all locked up but still gave him a slight tap. From then on maybe some aero damage slowed my pace and so I needed to push extra hard in corners to try make up for it. I caught Bacchulum and tried a move on the inside of t1. I saw early I wasn't going to make the apex as I locked up and almost accelerated and giving him a fair old thump. From there on I had a good battle with Wally and co but my car was quite slow in the straights by now and even in the draft I wasn't gaining, last lap I royally stuffed the jump and had what seemed like a 5 way 10 second tank slapper which eventually ended in a spin. To my surprise I got going again made it around the next corner and saw all 3 I was battling before have spins on the next corner and I was easily able to get by the lot of them. The redbull ring is a very well done track but not an easy place to pass in the f1 car, well done mod car too so still good fun just blasting around even if only a few of us were on. I have this combo up on one of my pass servers and will leave it on over the weekend if anyone wants a run with the mclaren f1 cars.
