*IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ*

Historic racing is famous for the gentleman racer era and that is the kind of atmosphere that I'd like to foster in the club. Please take time to read these web pages and try to get an understanding of what racing in this club is/should be all about.

Thanks

1. Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.

Excellent, I'll put you down as a maybe for now fella.
No pressure but of course it'd be great if you're able to make it.

 

[Bumble]

Just tried it, had 4 CTD's. Have tried deleting CBash, Shaders etc.

 

[slideways]

Same spot on the track too wasn't it Dave?

 

[Denis Betty]

What about you Paul?
I had a few laps in SP with no problems. IIRC I also did 8 laps or so on the server. I could try a server reboot?

 

[Denis Betty]

We also have the earlier version of the track on the server.
I could maybe try that if it would help to isolate the cause?

 

[slideways]

No issues here mate.... One of life's mysteries.....

 

[Jim Carvalho]

Put me in, coach.

 

[Michael Rudolf]

Guess I'll have to give this a go

 

[Denis Betty]

I did quite a few laps again without issue Bumble.

Put me in, coach.

I'll try to give you a little more of a challenge this week maestro.

Hi Michael and welcome back. It's always grea to have you join us sir.

At this point, it might make sense to mention that (as an experiment) tyre wear is set to "off" on the server. We will try it for this event and I will take a straw pole afterwards. This is because the 2002 does have a propensity to wear tyres out if you rag the car. Personally, I like it with tyre wear on, because you have to manage the tyres over the whole race. I seem to be in the minority though, so I'm willing to give it a go.

Makes sense about the tire wear setting Denis. While I liked the stradegy possibilities, the wear was extreme. I think the racing will be better as a result.

Yay, the gang are getting back together for sim racing season.

Ok one vote for tyre wear off.
