AC DRM Revival @ Spa - Thu 27Sep18

[Bobby Pennington]

@Suns That was a very nice battle there for a few laps - I wish it lasted for the whole race ;-)
That battle got me really exhausted, having to run 100% boost and fighting hard to get past and stay there - good fun!

You got a better line through Eau Rouge / Raidillion and ... peek a boo!

I hope to race you again soon, preferably in anything with more than 500 hp, biiiig turbos and no more than 900kg of dry weight and no younger than a 1980 build - I like ladies of my own age ;-)

Oh what pictures you have my friend. Just glorious. Looks like you boys had a good time.

Thanks Bobby ;-)
I only recently discovered photo mode since one of the recent Dynamic Lights Shader revisions introduced the feature of track loading screens - all shots you take in photo mode are used as a pool to load a random loading screen when loading a session - great touch and AC still is getting better and better with people like Ilja churning out new features.

These are untouched shots from photo mode - I only use:
Dynamic Lights shader mod with vao patches for each track
@Peter Boese GBW Suite v2.5 with Reshade
all settings cranked up

There is currently no racing sim that looks any better than AC and lets you drive firespitting Turbo monsters from the good timesof racing.

I hope for more Gr.5 racing of any kind - THIS is my favorite motor sports activity!

Guys, I'm so sorry to be bringing you this news, but it is time for me to step down as a staff member at RD and it is immediate. This has nothing to do with anyone other than myself. Many of you know that I have a pretty serious health issue and it's just taking too much out of me to do the job that you guys deserve and that I expect of myself. Just tonight, I failed to sign up Suns I've been making little mistakes for a while now and they are getting more frequent and worse. I'm embarrassed more than you will never know.

The one thing I would like to ask of you all is, if you feel like you would like to do somethign for the community or know of someone that would like to do this, please let me know and I will talk to you or them and then take it to the powers that be for approval. You guys deserve having races to take part in and it's been my honor and privilege to host them for and with you. You've all enriched my life more than I can say and I thank you.

I'll still be around and racing with you when we have races, so don't think I'm going anywhere except by you and on the outside of a turn

Really sorry about my no show last night, I had been up since 5am UK time was feeling a bit tired about 11pm and thought I'll have a quick power nap ended up just waking up an hour ago
