A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you have to check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.

When entering the track from the pits, stay off the racing line until you are up to speed. Do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by. On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak & server. Not doing so WILL result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You're 1st Han, welcome!

 

[640er]

Scored my first RD podium at Croft with the Nissan. Although there where no bimmers around that time

Let's see how the Nissan holds up against them

 

[stribbeck]

Great to see you chaps, welcome!

I Just started studying biotech and I have to get into physics and chemistry again, while sitting at home trying to motivate myself, which is rather hard when you never really have put alot of work into school. If its OK then please put me down in a beamer as reserve. I'll try to find the time for learning the track.

I'm sure you'll learn the track quickly Johannes, it's quite a short one

Anyway... a) setting up the BMW will help with your physics study, b) managing tyre degradation is chemistry-related (obviously!), and 3) you, as a living organism, will undergo change through the experience of this event.

Sorted! no need to thank me

Technically, learning the track also counts as learning time so...

 

[GeekyDeaks]

oh, keep meaning to learn this track! I'd like to give the BMW a go please @Medilloni

It's a great track Scott, hope you like it! You're in matey

 

[Axel Moebius]

I'm in Nissan

 

[Medilloni]

I'm in Nissan

Welcome Axel, glad you can make it

 

[VinillaIce82]

please count me in! I'll take the Nissan.

How do I set the fuel rate, is that the same as setting fuel consumption to 80%?

 

[Ramjet]

What laptimes are you guys doing?

 

[stribbeck]

@Medilloni can I change to the Nissan please, even tho it tries to kill me on every bend I seem to be faster in it lol

You're in with the Nissan Vince
Re the fuel rate, the practice server is set at 80% fuel, so if you do 3 - 4 laps there, then look at your fuel in setup it'll tell you how many laps your fuel load would last.

So for example, if your laptime is 1:25, that's about 18 laps for a 25 min race, so move the fuel around until it shows you can do that many laps. I've probably explained that really badly

What laptimes are you guys doing?

There's a strange rule in these-here-parts that say we don't talk about lap times (no, I didn't make it). I'll take a guess at Aliens in the 22's, and other guys on the learning curve could be in the 29's ish.

Obviously you'd love to join us buddy...so get your real name showing (see 1st 2 posts) and sign up!

Indeedy Simon, I find it quicker too but I can't string many laps together before I go off. Change is done matey

 

[VinillaIce82]

...So for example, if your laptime is 1:25...

I wish!!
