I'll give this a go! Never driven the car so let's see how bad I get slaughtered

Ninja edit: can I presume this is actually the "GT" layout? Sorry for the nitpicky typo check.

Chark · Oct 18, 2015

It does look like a nice combo. Sign me in, please.

When im trying to download the car winrar says the file is corrupt :/

Geof · Oct 18, 2015

@Chark , done then.

The track has been updated last week by the way...

@Mikloss , the file is a .7z, and I can open it without any troubles using winrar.

We've all been there, don't worry.

It's confusing sometimes, but it's the only way for everyone to have a standard time we can refer to.

However, the server is already up, so you should be able to find it and practice! Check your filters (the red boxes at the top of the server list) to make sure you're not missing it.

Si · Oct 18, 2015

I'm in....for praccy at least.

Geof · Oct 18, 2015

Setup WIP

kedy89 · Oct 18, 2015

In as well, the ffb issues I previously had seem to be gone.

Mikloss · Oct 18, 2015

My internet would not as I would this evening, had to quit. Hope you all had a good time

kedy89 · Oct 18, 2015

Cheers for the race guys! Should have reinstalled AC sooner as somehow that seems to have fixed my FFB issues I had with this car

Start was good, but I lost some places in the first corners as I was a bit too cautious, and @prosoto got past me on the straight. Could fight back a bit later, and was in 2nd after @Si and @Geof (thanks for sharing your setup btw

) had made contact. Chasing @Tobias Röhner then, but I couldn't really get closer than 1-2 seconds, as our laptimes were pretty much equal. That was until the second last lap, when I got right behind him as he seemed to struggle with the tyres. Was able to get past on the straight and kept the lead until the end.

Good to see you back around Simon, think it's been a while since I've seen you racing

Thanks for organizing @Lorenzo Bonder. Could you upload the results at some point, please?
