AC Try out vintage cars championship@Bremgarten, Tuesday 28th September 2021

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

Tonight I'm asking for your help in this try out event for a new Vintage Car championship.
To see if the 4 cars involved are a good match for each other in a single class or a multiclass championship, we are going to race them on Bremgarten.

It would be great to have a full grid tonight with for every type at least 4 drivers. But the more the better. 9 Cars of every type would be fantastic! And I'm sure it also will be fun!

So sign up here: https://beta.simracing.gp/events/nUuhFf3shazX24qGhdBei#cars

WARNING: Your pitbox (the red lines) will not be visible until close to the pit buildings! Make sure you practice a pitstop in practice or qualify on the s.gp server to know where your pitbox will be in the race.

TIP: With my limited driving skills I couldn't handle the Mini. Changing the Dif Power to 20, Dif coast to 45 and dif preload to 35 helped a lot.

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 Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium

The Skoda at Bikernieki was probably the stand out tin top race for me this year. They are great fun to drive and battle in. Just the right amount of sideways

All great cars though, not much between them!

 

[Shed 17]

I'm in with the Skoda!

 

[Medilloni]

I'm in, but no idea which car, is it OK to let you know in a few days Han?
....or, can I swap in SGP (sorry, not used to it yet!)

Certainly John . You can try them all out on the practice server I'll be setting up shortly.

PRACTICE SERVER IS UP!

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

@HF2000 Wish I could take part in this race but I'm off to ride my bike in Italy for a week

Have you thought about using the Touring Car Legends or AC GT Legends by Bazza? Good mix of cars, which all have strengths and weaknesses which suit different types of tracks. Are they available on SGP? Would we need permission from Bazza to use them?

Hi Taj,

I don't know these cars. Do you have a link for me?

 

[Taj Johal]

not sure about the rules on posting links here, but if you google THRacing and then go to the links page, you'll find the mods (and lots of others).

I've checked: they are not available on s.gp at the moment. But the mod looks very interesting. I think I will download the 60's mod and try the cars myself.

Nice Idea Han ( once again )

I´m in with the Skoda, though it will be quite a task to keep it from spinning for an hour.
To mitigate the "rotatory freedom" a little I reduced rear roll stiffness, aka used slightly softer springs.
Still working on the dampers though.

Did you notice that the AI is really bad with the 718?

I have used these mods in the past, all off line but great fun, recreating some classic races. The AI could be a bit hit or miss but generally all worked well. If you need any help testing Han just let me know.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Can't be worse than the AI di :-((
