Skins aren't ready for consumption Flattop! This where we got into trouble with the cobras..

I should have really pmed the links to those I've made skins for. They are prototypes only. just meant for the owners only to assess And give me feedback.

I repeat. Skins are not ready for race night at all. Please please please please!!! Do not use them on the server!!

Perhaps put up the Alfa's on Baskerville seeing as it isn't in the season track list?

Would also be cool to try a fun night of half of everyone in Alfa's and the other half in a fast car, giving the Alfa's a head start.  Then everyone swaps over for the next race.  Just a thought.

Great minds think alike!  I had thought about putting half Cobra on the server, 2 races, racers to check numbers of each car on server and select a car to balance the numbers out as the server fills.
racers need to swap cars for race 2.

WILL DO!

Maybe a car that is around a lap quicker over say 10 laps and then start them just as the Alfa's have completed their first lap?

Perhaps the McLaren F1 GTR, or the 458?  Unfortunately Baskerville isn't on RSR - I thought it was - so makes choosing a car kind of difficult.

This sounds similar to the ARSE Friday night fun nights we were discussing on TS the other night. Should make for some good fun. I can imagine there'll be a few big wrecks as these cars can be a bit tricky ;D Will damage be turned on?

Could you set the server up as fixed grid order GTA's up front and Cobras in the second half of the field. Then You could start the Alfa's and someone could call out the start for the cobras maybe 15 seconds later lor something. Would be a little easier then having half the field pull over but you could also just do a basic rolling start in 2 packs organised via teamspeak in whatever grid order is wanted.

Good thinking Marty, the sever ini is in Alfa then Cobra so easy there, I have removed "Qual" so we can practice and then hit race with the Alfas first and the lead Alfa to yell GOOOOO on entering the straight, hopefully sill have a bit of speed to overtake the odd Cobra into the chicane! :)

I'm not sure how old the Shelby setups are.  I haven't driven them seriously for a while.  Anyway, might be a starting point.

Last night one of my monitors started to play up. Took a couple of boots, does a bit off a hiss then goes off. Stays on eventually.
I'm sure it's marty's fault...


The cobra skins still work.... just quietly. .
