Title: Fun Run 22-02-2018
Post by: Phil.8 on February 15, 2018, 04:36:14 PM
I know its a lot to ask to download 5 mods at once, but  I would like to try all of them next week if everyone is cool with that, and then get opinions on the night what would everyone like to race.
As its a fun run I was thinking 3 short races, One race with Mustang and Caterham-seven,  I know probably totally different lap times, think of it as a multiclass race :)
second race the 2 Easter cars and a third race with the formula student car.

Great, and because they don't number their d/l I have no idea what version I have. >:(
It's a good thing I don't have Phil's interweb speed. ;D

Was only updated today I think, link at top points to latest version 8.1

All works fine on server now Phil  ;)  That Formula student can get quite addictive :D  Cheers Dave O.

Those students drive too fast! Electric power certainly is addictive...

I just had a go in each of the cars. The RAF and Melkus are good fun. The Mustang Mach 1's are horribly understeery - you turn the wheel and it feels like nothing's happening :)
The Boss's are good fun - the 429 is a handful.
The Formula Student has unbelievably twitchy steering. What's the steering lock - 5%??? The Caterhams also have a very tight steering lock, but are fun to drive.

Ha. That's quite understeery too if you come in too fast, but at least you don't have to slow to 20 kph to make a corner ;)

Hope no one minds that 2 races will be at tracks that no one has had a chance to practice on :) , But I am sure everyone will know them  8)

No problem here. That first Caterham dust sound very good. I'll be curious to see what this other one is like.

Practice server is up with the new cars and minus the 2 bigger horse powered mustangs

Tomorrow will be practice as usual and at the end of that I will restart the server with the race combo.

All three combos will only be 10 min qualify and 10 mins races that we will do maybe a couple of times each so everyone gets to try a different car.
I hope that's ok, I could change to maybe 15 mins each but was worried it would make the night too late by the end ?

I had the most fun sliding around bumper to bumper with bacchulum & imperious in the mustang, caterham was good too. Open wheelers were fun to race but not much sliding around, Thanks guys
