Looking forward to this race!

Quick question about the weather.

Weather forecast:
Humidity: 60%


Does this mean there's a 60% chance of rain?

No, it just the humidity of the air. Normally it can affect engine performance, but in an almost unoticeable way.

If rain would occur, we would announce it very clearly so nobody would get caught by surprise. Anyway, actual tests of rain racing in these cars have not given promising results.


RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 1976 F1 Season - Round 11 Austria - Tygernoot - 11-03-2019

Righto, thanks!

It's already quite a hassle keeping these cars on track in the dry indeed! :p

This is a an alert for this weeks race!

It seems you can get stuck in the armco on some corners of the track, namely the last turn amongst others. There's pretty much no way out as your wheels appear to go through the railing. It is going to be the same for everyone but you will need to exit the race at that point should you be unlucky enough to get stuck. Apologies to all.

Something to definitely watch out for. I got caught while practicing and tried for a few minuets. I just thought it was the usual stuck on the barrier that one can get free of. As I was practicing I just escaped out but would have tried to get free had I been in race, and not been aware of the bug.

Compared to Long Beach with its detonating walls and phantom barrier on pit exit, this is luxury.

It seems very easy at some corners to bite more or less the line of the track here... If a part of the car is still on the good side, it's ok or not ?

It's a tough one. I'll leave it up to drivers discretion. If you're clearly stuck it's just bad luck, if you worm your way in almost straight away well done. Be care assuming the race line again. We want to avoid taking someone out.

I have got stuck a few times but for me it seems to be ok if my rear wheels glance the barrier I carry on but if my fronts hit the barrier first I get stuck so I've set my car up to oversteer rather than understeer so far seems ok. Good luck to all
