Oh and I was already wondering what I did wrong after assigning the handbrake to a button on my wheel but not noticing any effect

You're not alone. I also wanted to use it in the hairpin.

Lol, I'm loving @Fat-Alfie 's tracks and that you can go off sometimes, but....

Yes I'm also a big fan of @Fat-Alfie 's tracks. I will have a go with this Audi on Fonteny sometimes, just for fun.

Sign me up please John.

When this beast was released for AC I tried it and ignored it from there on. Yesterday I gave it a second chance and learned to like it after a while. After another while I was able to put complete laps together but no lap seemed to be like the one before. So I think we've got a real challenge here. Not a very common combo...

Glad you can join us Reik

The combo idea came from Craig's excellent Bridgehampton/Audi S1 race a year last February, and I was addicted to the Audi - everyone had a blast, a real change to racing, more a case of keeping it on the road

It's fantastic on Fonteny Han, Deutschlandring & Feldbergring are great too, apart from being on the rev limiter for so long!

Excuse my ignorance here please, but is there a way to just spectate on these races, or is anyone likely to be streaming it? I reckon this one should be very entertaining.

I always wanted that too Joey, sadly not possible - unless there were spare cars then you could sit in the pits and view other drivers using ctrl 1 or 2. @HTIDRaver2k8 usually streams them though, so I guess he might for this one.

Best way to see it is take part

I will be streaming as usual, you'll be limited to my cockpit view (and my semi sane ramblings though)

Ok, thanks for the reply. If I get a few minutes later I'll try to take a look. Have a good race.

having done a couple of laps I reckon its half a second quicker to crash into the barrier rather than try and take the hairpin at the end of the straight.

I'm afraid it's a no show for me tonight can't you make it after all

have a great race.

I didn't think much of this when I first signed up.

Now I have understood the gravity of the challenge ahead of me.

Those who watch the stream, prepare yourselves!

HA

It's funny you mention the word gravity... because I gave it a quick shot, took my eyes off the screen for a split second to adjust my audio and this happened...

Well ive got the best time up on server at the moment. So what if its the only time

Also, I have a Fanatec handbrake and its mapped in the controls axis, but it doesnt work in the sim. Any ideas? Could do with it for the hairpin!!

4WD Group B Rally Cars did not have a handbrake, as it would have been useless due to center diff that could not unlock and the handbrake would simply have locked all tires and even caused engine braking

I had a bit of a practice just now. I was able to set the wr using mario smreks tune for highlands downloaded from the setup market app. I modified the tire psi, and fuel.
