I think the ND2 Mazda MX5s should be quite good fun at Brands Hatch GP - so that’s what we’ll try.

Any problems, please Direct Message me as I will get an alert that way.]]>

We were introduced to the ND2 MX5s by SCB last week. They are quite a lot of fun for our kind of racing - a combination of very generous drafting effect, ABS brakes (and brake fade...) means that 'sending it' is constantly on the cars but fraught with risk in terms of how late you brake and whether your brakes will be cooked by the time you reach the apex...

Hopefully (after a major fusebox upgrade) my mains power issues should be a thing of the past and the IP address of the server will be much more stable than over Christmas/NY.]]> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...3419501917

Our server is back up - search for “!SR4L” or “TueFun”. Our IP is *mot* fixed - so every time my broadband resets after an outage, the IP will change and if you’ve used the ‘Favourites’ in rf2, it will break and you’ll need to find the server again.

Cars - we’ll start again with our League Edition Imps & NSUs
Track: First track, Okayama 2017 GP

Mediafire link to Imp: https://www.mediafire.com/file/8bx0muc8w...rfcmp/file
Mediafire link to NSU: https://www.mediafire.com/file/b6ixyu600...rfcmp/file
Track: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...1440574045

Couple of quick notes on the cars:
We developed League Edition versions based on car conversions released by (if memory serves) ISR.
The physics of the NSU and Imp are basically identical *except* that the NSU has a slightly longer wheelbase which was needed to get the wheels to match the body visually.
Configuration (setup) was opened up quite a bit and we ended up with a couple of special settings (notably rear camber - settings X1, X2 & X3 are big jumps over the final ‘normal’ numerical value. Try X1 - several of us found it a really good balance of cornering grip and traction out of corners).

I can’t remember the best driving style - I’ve just spun it a number of times but seem to remember that you really need to take it by the scruff of its neck and not be afraid to drift or slide it. I also seem to remember that I made the tyres more durable - they might get hot but don’t panic!)

I’ll let Stu (from SCB) and Cruicky explain the details, but SCB (who run their own Thursday night races at which a number of us try to attend) have agreed to physically host our Tuesday races. Cruicky will run the races on the night. 

Our SR4L Discord channels are unaffected - I suggest we continue to use these on Tuesdays to avoid confusion - also worth checking there for any announcements as it’s a common landing point for most on the night. 

Two things to bear in mind (Stu / Cruicky will confirm in due course)
I) the server *might not* be tagged with the SR4L keyword (but will be on a fixed IP address so you should be able to Favourite it reliably)
Ii) The server *might not* be up 24/7 for practice


Have fun - please continue to support the races and SCB. See you all back in the usual place on the 28th (and on SCB Thursdays)…]]>

First track will be Anglesey. For bandwidth reasons, please refrain from downloading direct from the SR4L server event as it will be very slow and choke my broadband.

Instead, please follow this Steam Collection link to quickly get to the two files you need to subscribe to in the Workshop.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...3383031722

Server will be up shortly.


Important note - the Ladas (on my machine in VR at least) seem to be a bit greedy on graphics. I found that I get a much smoother and faster FPS with the following settings - the cars still look fine inside and out with these lower levels of details.

Lotus Cortina’s - using a League Edition of the v0.400 mod - restricted to the Road Car class and without the option to change performance using the Customisation menu…

The League Edition was a bit quick and dirty - I know that at least one of the skin icons is broken but beyond that, I’ve not tested it. Please report any issues here.

The first race is at Goodwood v1.9 https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/file...3013644697

The car *can* be downloaded from the server *but* it will be very slow and will hog my broadband. Please download from Mediafire instead.

Live timing is back up (we don’t have a fixed IP so every time my BB resets, the timing dies and the Favourites option in the server list will break too….)]]>

Firstly, I'm aware that SGS (formerly ISR?) have a version of the TAGE cars on Steam... The back story is that we tidied up the TAGE car pack in 2022 - slimming it down (reducing excessive skin numbers - and therefore file sizes) and fixing a few issues (broken icons in the car chooser, some z-plane graphical glitches etc.) - and then ran a Sunday League with the resulting TAGELE pack...

I can't recall if I/we tweaked physics - I think not (or not as much as other SR4L League Editions anyway).

And I couldn't take part in the Sunday League so missed out on some of the hard work I'd put in! Angel

So - we'll run  *our* TAGELE version - link here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/8vgsu9nb3...rfcmp/file

...and the first track will be Portland Sprint (No Chicane).

We are in contact with a group of Thursday night racers via stu3284 who organises races on SCB Server 1 (password scb). Stu plans to reciprocate by flagging our Tuesday night races - hopefully we can build a bigger rf2 community between us. Big Grin

Quote:We are totally social and to keep people racing we run damage at 50% and will even restart if theres a big pile up in first lap as we'd rather have people racing than not so its more of a  friendly fun event.

Quick reminder - the current SR4L server is *not* on a fixed IP address - you cannot ‘favourite’ it on the rf3 matchmaker. Sorry!
