rF2 BTCC Hybrid @ Mantorp Park - Monday 6th November 2023

[Jimlaad43]

We head to Mantorp Park in Sweden for a bit of pre-race practice for some of our friends! The BTCC is a perfect bit of practice for @Roy Magnes and @Ole Marius Myrvold before their excellent exploits next weekend. Taking part in a race in both FWD and RWD machinery, the selection of both in the BTCC gives them a chance to get in the zone before the weekend's race. Will you come along and help them get up to speed?

i'm in, but @Jimlaad43 we've the same scenario as in assen where the track limits rules are way too strict, left hander at the chicane and the first right hander of the F2 curves you'll 99% of the time get a track limits check just for touching the kerb and it's a 50/50 if you get flagged or not

The lesson from Assen was that I will therefore disable Track Limits

Me & Roy forgot to mention that, yes.
Granted, with the modifications we've done to BerTony this year, we have to stay off the kerbs anyway

We will be using phone only for the official race-stream broadcast-thing. While I've bought a Cambox Meca V4 Pro that I will use inside my helmet when I drive.

Well. The app is ****. Can't DL it due to me having too new Android. I can find it elsewhere though, but it just don't find my camera. So I will have to test it, and see how it records on default and hope that is good enough -.-
