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.

 

[GEO147]

Yes please John

Forgot to add these in the main thread - 2 setups, my messy effort and another kindly provided by @pretend racer Jason. Hope anyone can find them of use, they're from Mosport but seem to work well here (only tried a few laps, thoughts were maybe to turn rear power down a click).

 

[Medilloni]

Yes please John

Good to see you George, you're 1st already

 

[HF2000]

In as 2nd! Does this car also had the fuel consumption problem or was it a tyre eating thing?

And a new track for me! Nice. Thanks a lot, John!

 

[pattikins]

Count me in please John.

Got me wondering there Han... just checked the Opel event in April and all's well with fuel and tyres, though I have raised the temps slightly. Welcome aboard

Count me in please John.

Good to see you Patrick, 'yer in

Like this car, I’ll give it a go please John. @Medilloni

Darn it... This was the car I did my first race with you chaps and I remember it being a right blast, but I'm away this week

Too bad that this car mod has the Empty aero LUTs issue, which can fill your HD if driving the car. It can be easily fixed in CM, but I'd guess that will result in a checksum error on the server?

Do you mean the log files get big?
I just had a look in the download discussion thread. There's no mention of the issue that I can see. Has anyone ever mentioned it to the mod author? He was last seen here about a month ago and might be very happy to update the mod with such a simple fix.
Edit: I just found a mention of it back in 2017. I guess the author didn't fix it...

Some people had issues with the car when it was run @ Donnington, but I don't recall any complaints @ Mosport.

In, please

 

[Medilloni]

In, please

Pleased you're in matey!
