Weights from Round 2*
DV-8 - 40kgs
Fez - 40kgs
Kiwibrick - 30kgs
Stevo - 20kgs

Weights updated:
Due to the small numbers this league I have reduced the weight penalties down to 30kgs for 1st, 20kgs for 2nd and 10kgs for 3rd.
And I probably won't run with the Joker card either.

Weight have been updated on the server.

I'm going to change cars as I chose the Corolla because I thought it would have a chance with the original weights.
So ill probably be driving the VL TWR Dunnydoor.
Hope that is OK ?

That's fine. With the original weights, and the low numbers you would have gotten weight added anyway.
With the bigger fields the weight comes into play more.

Hi Guys

New here but not new to rfactor, am definatly keen to race against you guys, but im not sure if i can just jump in on sunday nights, do i have to sign up or what,

also, i cant get the downloads to work, keeps saying server issue, i dont think its my computer, but i could be wrong,

cheers for the help guys,
Craig

HI Craig &   to TTR Racing.

Your very welcome to join in mate, just choose a car and turn up on the night.

I just tested the downloads and they seem to be working for me.

cheers mate, ill have to try later on, keep getting a dns error, saying i need to check the address,

i do have TCL, just the standard one from rfactorcentral, think its the 1.0 without the addons,

kinda sucks cause i cant run the sierras cause i cant hear any engine sounds,

I think you may have to flush your DNS ?
I had this trouble with my PC a little while ago, I had to flush my DNS and also do something in network settings.
I had a lot of sites that wouldn't work until I did that.

There is a sound mod somewhere for these.
I would install the mod over a fresh install of rFactor.

menu just came up again, so i tried a couple others, managed to get the tcl 635 addon fix thing, but the tcl complete download keeps coming up with the issue before, tried the tcl atcc 90 91 addon, and same problem,

kinda frustrating haha,

Download in that order into a fresh install of rFactor...

Thanks corty, i was trying to remember where i saw that link last night but i couldnt remember where it was,

ill install a new game and have a crack at it later on, cheers

just an update, got v1.1, holy hell, the b&h evo is damn twitchy for me, dunno if ill make it on tonight, but will be there for next week,

Cheers for the help,

Well I had fun, it was good to race on a track I know so well. I was doing consistent 58s and a few 57s and very happy with my times, but to be lapped by everyone makes me feel like I'm surrounded by aliens. LOL

Only downer for me was in Race 2, I murdered the LF tyre so came in for new fronts at half distance and got pinged for speeding, so had to drive through again next lap. That killed my chance of catching Nuty.

What compound rubber did you run mate? I was on VHard Front / Hard Rear and had no real issues.

The whole field was going pretty well, it was anyones race really. I was happy to jag a win in R2 though as it's been a while. Certainly one of the more challenging tracks, keeping four wheels on the black stuff was pretty important.

I really enjoyed my race with Corty, eventually wore him down when the Commo's tyres turned to mush Fez and Stevo were unlucky, had nothing for them really until their issues. Rookie and SMT were pretty quick early on too. DV8 was always a threat too as he makes very few errors, so I had to be pretty accurate in the end. I was driving on the fuel gauge towards the end and was short shifting everywhere but still maintaining reasonable lap times, so was pretty happy with that.

No doubt a slab of lead is coming my way so we'll see how the Sierra goes with a bunch of weight in it next week....

I ran softs all round, as I usually do, I normally don't have much wear, but I guess this is a consequence of the low speed understeer I couldn't dial out.

I went in heavily going under the bridge on the first lap of Race 2 and I guess that didn't help, car felt pretty ragged after that, but was still doing the times.

Having a ball in the few races i can do. Had a legit 1 stop strategy for the big one but rookie error was having damage repair on when pitting. Cost me 21 secs
had fund running doorhandle to doorhandle for half a lap with someone at one stage! See you this week!
