I have set the practice server without the OSRW mod this way it will allow more AB rated non league guys intk the practice server and gives guys more chance for some race practice. Weather was set at 24c atm but will change as forecast changes,  I dont think 26 is likely at Brands and their weatherma  is just optimistic.  ;D

My Fanatec base seems to have crapped out last night... I think it's serious (belts slipping / electric burning smell)
Looking like I might be now out for the foreseeable future  :'( :'( :'(

That's a right pain in the ass. Good luck getting it fixed or replaced.

That's horrible! :( Is it still under warranty at least? I feel for you, teammate.

Apologies to Phil for disappearing yesterday. Couldn't see anything in cockpit mirrors around here and for some reason couldn't get my virtual mirror to work. Validated, replaced 7 files and now it's back.... ::)

**EDIT**
Hmmm, seems that now I have my virtual mirror the cockpit mirrors are working properly again....Yesterday jumped on the server twice with really bad FPS (20 and then 11) and the mirrors were stuffed.

Holiday or work Guybrush? I will fly the solo team flag again but at least you should have a favorable grid position if you make another round.   ;)

Piss up with a few friends from around the globe.  Only a quick visit to Tokyo, any tips?

A better grid position would be nice but won't make up for a lost rounds worth of points.  I have set a few laps on the server though.  I think the race will be a busy affair!

Don't drink and drive or get into a car with a driver that may be over the .03 limit, fine is $10,000 to the driver and all licenses passengers.

It's a quick lap, quicker than Tsukuba but more flowing. Turn 1 is always interesting, here, and will probably mix things up a bit with people running wide.

I'll change the format so that races 1 and 2 will be in reverse season standings order, and race 3 will be in race 2 finish order. That will give people a variety of starting positions and challenges.

In addition, I'll put anyone that's away at the back of the grid to avoid gaps.
