fun run in either DRM, Bl or TCL

anyone up for a fun run soemnight this week before xmass ? in either DRM BL or tcl?

rF1? Would love to run Legends Of Bathurst again, or DRM.

And by fun run I think you mean enduro...

haha sorta.. maybe not a full endure but a decent length race! and I'm pretty keen on some Bathurst legends at bathurst

Yeah, keen. I've missed tyre degradation!
We have already done LoB at Mt. Panorama...
I've got no complaints for doing it again, but are there any other tracks they'd be good at?

What night you thinking kaks ?

Both "Bathurst Legends 1972" & "Legends of Bathurst" are both designed to run 45min+ races & 2 or 3 times fuel & tyres.
This is to make all the cars even out over the course of the race.

So most tracks should work out pretty good.

LofB would be cool

im pretty much free the next two nights so its a majorty rules situations for me! im down for Bathurst for sure

LofB at bathurst. should test out the new cars too corty!

shall we make it a wedensday night race and a Tuesday night practice/setup and configure night? maybe also throw out a shout out at a few other places like growler did for sunday night and get a few people in

yeah

OR has an hour race at Bathurst on Wednesday in 2013 V8s RF1 all welcome. So maybe you guys could make yours Thursday? Love to attend. I'm sure alot of others would also that have no idea LofB exists.

Thursday night for me personally I'm going to be busy.

Yeah, Thursday night is no bueno for me. Tuesday's too early, obviously. Run it after Christmas? The usual Sunday spot is there.

How about a fun night tonight anyhow as Kaks suggested.

How about this:

Tonight we have a fun night with the LofB mod as it is now...
This will refresh our memories on what's going on with the cars that are already there and any fixes we think they need.

After that I will get to work on the fixes and also adding the new cars in, then have another bash on Sunday ?

Yeah, sweet as. Just hope it isn't too short notice for everyone!

If we ran the last race with these are we up to date with the mod?

Yeah I wouldn't expect many with the short notice,  but doesn't matter, at least will get a refresh on what needs to be done.

If you ran in the last race, then you should be fine.

Sounds good.
The LoB download is very slow tho. I even messaged EK to jump on and have a look.

i get mismatch here.. will reinsta it

I just tried the Download and it said about 10min to do so.

Would be great to see EK there, cheers Worm !

Everyone but me is getting mismatches on the server, so just trying to sort that out right now.

Was great fun tonight guys, had an absolute blast !
Even though there was only 6 of us, it just goes to show that sometimes there doesn't need to be a huge grid to have fun.

Dave got of to a great start but made a little mistake allowing Stevo, Worm and myself past.
Once Dave was behind the HQ seemed to be quick in all the right places, so managed to keep him behind.
I think Stevo was in fuel saving mode which allowed Worm in the RX-3 & me in the HQ to catch up.
Not to long later Dave was also back hassling me.

Was great to see WORM get past Stevo on top of the mountain the Stevo blast back past on the straights.
Then I managed to sneak by worm also a few times.

About 6 laps in Worm spun in 2nd place, on the last corner with the 2 tanks behind committed to out line through the corner 
Dave and I managed to hit him & I think I hit both of them 


Stevo got home for the Win, with kaks 2nd & Dave 4th.

I ran out of fuel coming out of the chase 
But managed to roll over the line.

Would be great to have more of these night very soon so we can keep ironing out the bugs.

We still have one when someone exits the server, others get booted.

I'm hoping ill have that sorted with the next update coming very soon.
I found a few files conflicting with each other from different cars about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
I fixed those but wont know if it has fixed the "server exit bug" until we have another fun / test night (fingers crossed).

Once the bug is sorted, then we'll get the good stuff coming !

Ford Capri
RX-7
Escort Mk2
Toyota Celica
Chevrolet Camaro
Datsun 240K

Hopefully by early next year we can have a series with these, if there's no bugs ! 

only thing I wanna add is.. we wither don't use x2 fuel and tires.. or do longer races... because last nite I just cruised around doin 2.40's knowing that you all had to pit.. the only one who didn't pit to my surprise was stevo.. the torry at max fuel save would do 14 laps and from what stevo was saying the falcon easly do 13

A little mistake? I hit both fences!
HQ's got some legs though, oddly cornering in the big XB was my only hope of passing you

Short filled and jumped you in the pits, just. Was driving like hell to get away from you. The bit with Worm was a howler! I thought he'd cross back over the track so I was slowing and slowing, waiting for it to happen. Never did though, and I just parked in front of you hahah!

I came third, mate! Where's my trophy?!

I do enjoy these cars though, they're bloody good. They all make their speed in different places which makes the racing good, but they all require different strategies for fuel and that as well. And sitting there hustling the XB around Bathurst is just really cool

Would definitely look forward to a series, and another go in these in the meantime. Quietly looking forward to a Datsun 240K as well!

Yeah I think if we did the 20 lap race and still with 2x Fuel & Tyres, that would have made a big difference.
If the XY had to stop, it would have lost a few positions, as it takes longer to put the fuel in due to the size of its tank (163L).

As I said above, these were designed to run 2x Fuel & Tyres & 45min+ races.
If everyone had to pit, it would have evened everything out.

Soooo one hour race on Sunday?

even if we did a 20 lap race the falcon and torry still only stop once and can be driven flat out where is the other cars would stop twice .. running x2 fuel and tires really doesn't even any car out.. its not like you can slap x2 on the torry while the others are normal.. x2 effects them all thus making no difference ... one thing that Does work is if you ran normal tire wear the torry doesn't need to change tires at a pitstop witch gives you an option to make up time by skipping tires witch works well on tracks where the falcon is so much faster

The other cars would also only have to stop once as well and would have a shorter fill time, so I believe the 20 laps would have made a difference.

The only car that would have stopped twice is the HQ, but I may look into that.
I've raced the Torana with 3x Tyres & Fuel in a series and didn't need to change tyres, races were about 20min long.
I think with normal Fuel & Tyres, the XW will "gain more" if anything as the 2x tyres effects the XW more then the other cars. 
It has so much power going through the rear tyres (compared to the other cars), also the weight of it on the front end.

My understanding of the Bathurst Legends 1972 mod is the shorter the race, the higher the multipliers have to be.
Legends of Bathurst is set up the same and has to be like this because of the difference in each car.

Anyone up for a another race with the LofB tonight ?

I've set up a quick race server if anyone is interested.

Tracks are:

Amaroo
Mallala 
Surfers 1984
Wakefield Park
QLD Raceway
Bathurst

Server is set to:

10min Practice
5min Qually
5min Warmup
7min Race

Would be good to try out a few different tracks and see what cars are strong where.

Well there was only 3 that turned up including myself, but was still fun to drive on a couple of different tracks.

I thought I would give the mini ago against Kev in the XB & Stevo in the XY.
Was quite surprised it could keep up around Amaroo & the lead actually changed a few times.
Mallala just had a little to much straight for the mini, so the fords were able to sneak away a little, but any mistakes made by them, I was right back up with them.

I did give a few of the other cars a run at Amaroo and the smaller cars definitely do well there.

I think these car will do great in a series and will be a mixed bag of cars that do well at each track.
Hopefully very soon, ill have a series up and running with these 

Yeah, lots of fun Corty.

So far I seem to do very similar times in the Falcon(s), RX7 and the Camaro, although all very different to drive.

Looking forward to a series with all different makes being able to take the win.

i'm back!
