*IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ*

Historic racing is famous for the gentleman racer era and that is the kind of atmosphere I want 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

never drove something like that before, I guess.
Please sign me in as maybe, because of the baby

Thanks Stan, early sign ups are always good.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Ok. Here we go. I'll go back to making the period correct liveries, update the "RD overview" thingy, and also fix one I have the wrong nationality to!

Also. Of course I am in.

Of course.
I knew that.

@Stan - Download link

To use liveries in game:
Choose a car in game(remember the number on the car). Click tuning/customize, and "create dir".
Find the created folder in: Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\player\Settings\Brabham_1966\BT20_(number on car)
Unpack zip-file. Paste the dds file there, and choose it on tuning/customize in game. Voila!

Also, as you haven't been with us for these earlier BT20 races. What we started with as some "that would be fun". Which in time caused me to take it a step further (or too far), is that we talked about how fun it would be to race with some classic colors. So with some exceptions, I've been making liveries for everyone who signs up, as long as I can figure out where they come from. I use the classic racing colors used in real life in the 50's/60's or come up with something that can represent it if the countries either didn't have racing colors, or simply just didn't exist.

Current list of RD-BT20's

Car #9 will be changed as I've been told by Daniel, that I have indeed used the wrong country for him. But that will be later this weekend
The numbers were originally given based on post history or avatars, until I started making too many. Then it was based on sign up in the first BT20 race we had, and just build up from there.

(I know I have the # wrong for Malcolm in the text. Also something to fix for later)

 

[Redvaliant]

Thanks again Ole, you are a champ. That silver, red # car looks fantastic, might have to move there...

 

[ThreeLionz]

Oh please sign me up for this

Welcome to our humble little racing club. I see that you've raced at RD before, so you'll be familiar with how things work.
However, if you do have any questions just ask away.
Look forward to meeting up on track.

I cant make this unfortunately, sorry, but I noticed the track download link links to Hampton Downs, not Hockenheim

Thanks for the heads up. Fixed.

I have found a way to increase the wait time between R1 & R2. I was unable to schedule a warm up session, so you will not be able to go on track, but there will now be a 5 - 6 minute pause between the races.
Starting positions for R2 will be the same as finishing positions from R1.
We will try it this week and adjust as necessary for future events.

 

[Bumble]

Sign me up please (#37 if it makes any difference)

 

[Denis Betty]

I'll put the number next to your name. If others could please avoid that skin, we appreciate it.

I took it as a hint to me... So in 5 min there will be 3 new liveries ready

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

@ThreeLionz Download Link Livery based on Cooper Car Company.

@Bumble Download Link Livery based on Lotus (so then we got BRM, Cooper and Lotus)

@Redvaliant Download Link this was hard. To dark black and there's no shadow effect. With no region maps it's hard to make proper silver and not make it look grey or flat. But at least that's somewhat NZ

 

[slideways]

Sign me up please Denis.

 

[Denis Betty]

Sign me up please Denis.

All done for you mate.

 

[Yves Larose]

@Denis Betty do you want your Lucky Strike livery for that car ?
