For those who don't read the news... not mentioning any names please note our new passoword.

Lets see how many names can appear on the scrolling marquee this week lol

Excuse me if this has been answered. Can custom skins be used now? My son was working on one and we could not get it to work. I'm figuring something changed in the structure. Don't want to spend a lot of time on it if it cannot be used....

They should work now. I have not tested them myself yet.

But if you read the release notes of the latest build for rFactor it does explain in there where to put them and the filename format.

[Fergy]

We tested them last night T, worked a treat. In game beside the drivers names now you see a green box, that means the driver is using a skin and you've automatically downloaded it. You'll see the downloaded skins when you choose the car before entering the room in Tuning.

[Craven Morespeed]

Thank you. I will re read the notes and try again.

Perhaps I should mention that it is a good thing you mentioned the unmentionable, it is 100% sure he would be left out at next race if you didnt.

[Craven Morespeed]

Got it working. Will get er dolled up later

No need to register at league-site for this race?

[Fergy]

No, most have registered under the season SR4L Fun Events. If I find the odd one that has not it's not problem to edit.

The topic came up yesterday as a joke, but what IS the rule now concerning the chicane?
I thought two wheels on the curbs was okay but later on it was decided skipping was okay?

It's pretty hard to skip the chicane anyway because the Corvette is to wide for that.

[Fergy]

My Favourite non news reader : Joke of course

This rule still applies http://www.simracers4life.com/index.php?...23#msg3323

Like you said the car is pretty wide but cutting is cutting and with such a long straight it's quite a time advantage to do so here.

[Navigator]

I did read it a while ago, before the F2 race, but there was also some talk of skipping and what could or could not be checked.

Yesterday I was a few times on the inside of the curb, but still touching the curb though; that should be okay then.
Don't want to finish well (but what are the chances anyway) and get into a big argument about it.

[gorgias1976]

I also thought we remained in the exception we created for the F2s, also that the exception was the track and not the car.

[gorgias1976]

By the way, fuel burnt will remain in X3? just to change it in the first post so people don't get confused.

[Navigator]

The server is now set to normal fuel usage; is that a mistake or just the idea?

Me, for one, think is more realistic; we have to get new tyres anyway and the lap times are way to affected by the fuel amount.

I base that on the following; I scrutineerd the GT2 class on Spa two years ago and mainly did the data. Therefore I know what the impact is on 10 liters of fuel; not much!
Why? The Corvette has a tremendous torque and doesn't care for a few kilo's more or less.
The Dutch GT4 version alone (the one I know best) can drive the Zandvoort track in just third gear, being only 1,5 seconds slower........
(Believe me, we tried )

Results are up on the League site. Congrats to Bram on his win in race 3, justifies why we have a reverse grid order race.

Big thank you to all who attended we really appreciate your patients given all that went wrong.

Off to Rnd 3 Kyalami now as the League heats up, see you on track.

*Please note for the Fun Events you will have to edit your cars accordingly for each event e.g. Rnd 1 Lola edited to Rnd 2 Corvette. My mistake for not informing your properly.
On the League site you'll see the points unfold in separate classes, not combined as we try out different mods.

[gorgias1976]

I was really struggling with the rear of the track on both race1 and race2. Then at the warmup of race3 I checked my setup and realised I had not previously saved the rear toe in I had set for qualy (0.60) instead of the default (0.20) which made the rear very nervous everytime I press the throttle. :o

I recorded this videos from the event.

Race 1 first lap from my drivers point of view:

Race 3 start crash (no one to blame, bad luck for everyone):

note: I still don't get to set drivers' labels on at saved replays.

[Lecram]

.60 rear toe?? You won't have rear tires left at the end of the straight? lol

I beg to differ about race 3 startcrash, I really do think you should take it more easy...

Again sorry to Wim about the little tap in race 3. :-[
