The track I was thinking of was Silverstone 67 which was free and included as part of 1.9 patch.

Sorry to inform you Phil, but the XGN Fun server has been updated not the XGN Grunt/Turbo/Revs server.

How many laps are you thinking of making the race on Thursday Phil, and will there be compulsory pit stops ?
Average seems to be about 1m 40s a lap.

20ish laps with 1 pit stop, does that sound ok ?

Sounds good to me, thanks Phil.

I'll be there!
I did a full race run and found that the tires were shagged after about 20 laps which made the last 5 laps lots of sliding fun, but terribly slow....now to work out this pitstop plugin....

correct me Phil et al where I ere...
on the Thursday runs, the damage is set to 0 and the tyres are everlasting! (unless you loose a wheel through an extreme "incident")
but the pitstop plus is an easy tool to use, you have 3 or 4 options, preset, and you can use a single click on the entering the pits for the desired strategy.

I am having no end of trouble getting the pitstop display to stay visible long enough to make it work !!! I can spend 10 mins trying to get the car in exactly the right spot to do a pitstop, I have to keep going back and forth till I hit the sweet spot.I thought it might be the TrackIR but after disabling it still no joy. Any ideas how to fix greatly appreciated.
Also my MR rating was dropped down to C in the middle of doing practice on my own !!!
-
...my MR rating was dropped down to C in the middle of doing practice on my own !!!
I'm having that happen again and again myself. I would have thought a simple rule to prevent a drop in rating would be in place. Because we seem to be doing most of our racing only at XGN we end up with 1000km and no contacts so for some reason that counts as a C rating???
The quick way to get back to an A rating is to go on to a server and promptly run into someone, thus getting a contact point and raising your ranking ???

Marty may correct me in this but as far as I know minorating takes contacts and racing into account. So if you drive on your own, not crashing but also not racing other drivers you can only achieve a C rating. You actually need to be driving in close proximity to other cars to gain a higher rating.

I have not had that, i just drive in and it does it, sometime i overshoot and just reverse back a little, but the pits seems generous in space

Was not sure about the time delayed start but the race turned out to be excellent. The F40 was the fastest but I kept on getting into traffic just as the tires was giving up the ghost. Shout out to Seanus for a great recovery drive :)
-
Sorry Guys. On the start grid, red lights turn off, drop the clutch, and ................... the phone rings. Bah.
I pulled over so as to not ruin anybodies race, rejoined after phone call but forgot to load setup and wondered why I could not get into 5th down Hangar straight. I had already lost 4 laps so decided to call it a night.
Hope everyone had a good race.
-
Binned it twice, without which I may, just maybe have been able to catch Wally. First spin I came out of the previous corner too! well and ruined my line, the second one I was distracted looking at others' gaps and times and missed my brake point. I have a bad habit of still bashing down the gears even when I've overshot my brake marker and lends me to spin. I noticed this fault in my spins and later in the race kept my wheels in line during the ding dong battle for second place.
-
Had a great battle up the front with Wally and GW. I had the pace to keep with the front runners but not enough pace to pull off a safe pass so settled into a rythem in the hope mistakes might be made. All was working gangbusters until the pit stops when Ray Charles was manning the fuel rig and under filled the car for the second part of the race. I'm not sure what happened with the pit app, however I thought I had asked for 11 laps of fuel and was given just over 7ltrs which was weird seeing I was burning 1.9lt/lap so even if it was 11ltrs and not laps then I should have received more than the 9.?ltrs I left pit lane with. Sadly a 2nd pitstop for a super short fill was required and this time I asked for 5 thinking it might be 5ltrs and sadly it was not which meant I puffed over the finishline last with ml's of fuel left. Sadly a great race ruined......
Apologies GW for the mic, I've got no idea what is going on with team speak, so if it hurt your ears I am sorry. I replaced my broken mic with a new Cosair one last week and ever time I open team speak I need to reset stuff to make the mic work and it's never the same setting which work twice in a row. Believe it or not I'd not touched any settings between others telling me things was fine at the start of the night to your screaming....I'll investigate further but I'm not sure if it's a team speak problem or if the new headset of dodgy...cheers.

The session details shows several people did not pit?
Plagued with sinusitis with this crappy weather we're having, it's really affecting my racing. I managed a 1:37.0 in practise but couldn't get close to it in qualifying or in race. I started off slow and made a up a few positions as the gt40s in front of me were having trouble in the corners with grip. I dropped back but came back again with 2 more GT40s in middle pack in front of me battling for position bruce got loose and spun in front of me and I had no time to avoid it. got pushed off the track but managed to keep it going but lost ground and struggled for the rest of the race. Stopped pushing the car, had a spin and a few brake locks ups and offs from lack of concentration. Everyone behind me appeared to quit. I passed humper after sitting behind him for 2 laps. He seemed to have given up so I made up 1 position.
-
Everyone behind me appeared to quit.
Don't you just hate it when people do that! Anyhow just be glad you not driving the GT40 at the next race! Even just a few laps testing was quite an experience ;D

I'd love to drive either the gt40 or the f40 but it's just pointless with joystick, far too hard to control. The 908 floats left and right in the steering for me but I can at least control the car pretty well compared to the rest. It has cornering but just doesn't have the grunt.
-
I had some really good racing with GW, Brad, and rooshooter for a bit too. I backed off the corners just a little (I always feel like I have to nurse the GT40 through a slow corner) and managed to put in really consistent lap times without any spins or incidents.
-
I was very happy again with my lap times around this circuit. I was happy with my qual position and was sitting in 4th place during the first part of the race, for a while, slowly losing sight of the cars ahead, then I pitted and the race had completely changed I was now 7th I think ,first I was caught by Seanus and then Phil and was waiting for the next alien to turn up, then on lap 19 I disconnected from the server,race over. Still enjoyable while it lasted, congrats to Wally on the win, your stats say it all 0 crashes, 0 contacts.
-
When joining at the end of practice there was no F40s left. So spent qualifing trying to decide 908 or GT40. Settled on the ford as it seemed ok with the default settings. The porsche felt like it needed a fair amout of tweaking.
Spent most of the race driving around the infield utill finially breaking my shifter on the last lap and having to complete most of it stuck in first gear to finish last of coarse. Awesome. Glad I spent that time setting up the F40.

Sorry to hear that Humper, I thought all drivers had been allocated a car.
Phil do we need to register, what car all drivers want, and allocate number of cars on server accordingly? I thought a three way split would have been sufficient, obviously not.
-
Must have been an extra F40 driver this week? Didn't think we were meant to be swapping cars?
-
Initially i thought phils start delays seemed excessive but i did manage to catch up. First 10 laps were great putting in pb's and pulling away from phil which is always an achievement.
After traffic around lap 10 phil was fairly close and i saw him saw him pit behind me so i put my foot down to try and avoid an undercut to pit next lap. Was only as i was steaming down the final straight that i realised i was 100% sure where the pit entry started. By then i was carrying too mich speed and it was too late putting the car into a spin.
When i finally got into the pits mael was in the pit box behind mine and not being able to see properly i missed my box. By that time the whole field had gone past again. Managed to make up a few more spots but could have been better.

I just checked and humper has a Ferrari tied to his guid, so not sure what happened

There are no cars fixed on those servers? I had to choose my car

Interesting, didn't realise that. So i should only have been able to join with the F40?
yes in theory , but I may have done something wrong, not sure what yet, as I leave the driver config alone each week and just add new track to server config
-
the only one I need to add is brad I think, but as there is like 3 or 4 spare Ferrari I have not done yet..
I have added Brad now 8) ::)
-
Didn't get the time this week deserved and a couple of mistakes put me back, but I was enjoying the GT40 here and continued on, ready to blast out of a quick tyre change pit stop... and dropped connection.
Onward to next week's round, hope to put some decent practice in...
-
The session details shows several people did not pit?
Yeh, once again it says I did not pit, but I did on lap 17 for tyres and the session laps times (2.01) show that.
Was originally going to try running the race on the 1 set of tyres and only pit for 1 litre of fuel, but with 5 laps to go the car was feeling a bit iffy. Pitted while I was in the lead and came out 3rd (I think) but narrowly ahead of about 5 cars, but the new tyres kept me ahead .
Good racing again.
-
The session details shows several people did not pit?
Don't believe everything you read. Being one of the ones listed as not pitting, I certainly did more than one stop due to the pit app not functioning properly and causing my car to be short filled on both occasions, resulting in my coming last.....
