wow, really enjoyed the racing tonight.

I know I didn't finish the first race because I ran out of fuel, but the second race was really brilliant the way the pack stayed together for most of the race. Sorry if it seemed that I was making random dives down the outside and side, it wasn't planned, as i was taking avoiding action as I had trouble stopping the car.

Awesome racing mate!

Gonna call you the terrier from now on my ankles are down to the bone lol.

Shame you ran out of fuel on the home straight.

(Could have done with hearing the reaction on TeamSpeak? wink )

Great race guys...btcc at its best!

a lot of mistakes on my part  and a tight track with little room for pass made for some hectic battles....the second was was one of the best I've had to date !

sorry for everyone I spun it wasn't intentional I was just taking a chance on getting a run in a few places...but didn't work out to well lol

i gotta figure out how to adjust the volume be rf1 and ts I couldn't here anything during the race and iam not sure why I no longer have the option to adjust it anymore?

If you set the mod profile back to vanilla and restart,the option should be there.

That was a gas, first race was a real cock up, five laps worth of fuel at the start was the end of the race for me...The second was everything short track BTCC racing is all about, close pack, constant position swaps, just great fun. yes

:)

theres still a lot of time in it, I was second guessing myself on a few high speed corners cause the track config is different than last season.  A few corners I was getting ready to go right but the track went left lol

i figure a tune with proper fuel amount, practice and a balls to the wall lap could knock off up to 2 secs.

pretty much all the turns can be taken at 80-full out asides from turn 1 and the last 

hoping I can make tomorrow I'll just be running the base tune...I've been scrambling for the past 2 weeks looking for winter tires for the audi which have been near to impossible through major dealers.  A friend gave me 17" winters from his caddy but nobody carries steelies for an audi?  So now iam left looking for 19" tires for the oem rims which at 245 wide low profiles are slim or gonna cost an arm and a leg quotes have been $1500 just for the tires not including all the extras and instillation :( I am currently experiencing rl iracing physics with the summer slicks that are currently on the car

Yeah as I suspected the Focus is struggling around here, I miss my old Seat, a much better all rounder, or maybe it just suited my driving style better...Ah well, you never know, I'll have a tinker with the set up and see if I can get a little more out of it.

Well the trick is...Just find time for one PC race a week...I hour, one little tiny hour...Or be honest and say your giving up PC racing and staying with console. That would be a shame, because I miss racing with you...Come on dude, all that time we put in to getting this little division going? All those PM's and the exitement we felt at starting something new? One little race a week 4

Easy way to get to the server name your shortcut to the mod like this

rFactor.exe +fullproc +highprio +connect rfactor://f1gprfactor.dlinkddns.com:34299

Then when the game loads you can either get onto the server by clicking load track or choose to practice.

Kurupt I still hate you LOL
