Strangely enough the 2014 version was the the track I initially had in mind, but after using the current version I think it is better for these cars and the historic aspect of this season. I also think it flows better than the 2014 version and after some work on a Ford GT40 setup I have been able to set very close times in all three cars in the 1m 47s region, which now means this race open to win from anyone of the thee contenders !
I do not believe this would be the case with the 2014 version. I have appreciated your positive comments on the season so far Gratulin.
 I will post my three setups later today.

Interesting to see the difference. Been practicing on the 2014 and managed to get into the 39's with no ballast. Still way more time to be had. Will try this version later this morning.

On our server @97% grip, down into the 42;s and should be easy 41's for me. Fast guys will be in the 39's I reckon.... ;)

Thanks Slideways.
The porsche is capable of close to that I think, also GT40 in the right hands, I guess we will just leave as is and wait till race night.
Here are my setups for the three cars. GT40 is good but still a handfull, 906 is near perfect ;D and I wish the BMW was a bit slower, included free of charge is a full tank.

Thanks for the setups.
Are you still looking for the Broadbent Jaguar files?

Thanks, good to be back in the racing seat!
Yes I set up the wheel yesterday, internet connection is healthy, threw away my home made sim frame and have a fixed desk in a spare room...

will put some laps in tonight, hope the GT40 suits me... (I was secretly hoping the Jag was in :) )

He's BACK....

The GT40 is the most difficult to drive and the slowest. Porsche or BMW is safer choice.  8)

I have a similar setup. To stop the pedals and chair sliding around especially when braking I came up with a simple pedal platform that also anchors the chair legs. I cut a piece of mdf to 1mx0.5m and attached some furniture legs to the bottom. The legs are long enough to allow the desk chair legs to hook underneath so that the chair does not slide backwards (I have a wheelie office chair). Then I bolted the pedals onto the mdf. One advantage of the raised platform is the driving position is better because your legs are now more horizontal due to the height f the platform. I got the furniture legs from Bunnings ("Leggz").

Can you post a photo of that?

I have a large mat under the desk,  and glued some rubber backing to the base of the pedals so they don't slide at all with the friction.  I took the wheels off the office chair and replaced them with sliding casters that grip pretty well on the mat, but then you lose the benefits of the wheels for other uses, and it does make the chair a bit lower.

That is a standard carpet square on top from Bunnings. It is probably not necessary to reverse mount the pedals like here. You could just mount them direct to the platform.
