I don't know the car, nor the track, but the format sounds interesting, so put me down for a slot! These Tuesday club races are perfect for my current schedule. Now if one of you guys would organize one for Friday nights too.

Since the server is non-booking, I'll make sure to put it up early so that anyone wanting to practice will have lots of time. I'll also be on there helping out if I'm needed.

Cool. I tried the combo out a bit last night... and it's a challenging car to control. I'm currently unable to get under a minute laptime, but I'm sure its possible. Do you have a good starting setup for this car/track already? No matter how many times I do setup alterations, I always seem to make a mess of it... and the default sure doesn't feel like it is optimal.

 

[Dragos Haba]

@Russell Sobie I drove the car myself with the stock setup, but i think the shortest gears for the car are good. other than that and my FFB i didn't change anything.

 

[Keith_G]

Sign me up Please. Like Russell I haven't done either of these but looking forward to something new!

 

[Dragos Haba]

@Keith_G, it's precisely what I was thinking when I thought of the combination!

 

[Dragos Haba]

@Angelo dos Santos @Ben Protheroe @Brian Rhodes @James Nance @kcheeb @Matheus Machado @Matt Bailey @Pablo Cortes @Ronny Nunez @Ryan Ogurek @Sun Levi

You guys wanna try something new ?
EDIT: A practice server is also up, for those who are on the fence about this event. Try it out, fall in love and come race with us!

 

[Ryan Ogurek]

Okay, Okay. I'm in.

 

[Keith_G]

It is certainly a fun car and track! Very different so I like it.

 

[Matt]

There's something wrong with the FFB settings in this car around the centre. It "knocks" when changing direction, almost like it's trying to click into centre before going past centre. This might not be an issue for a wheel like the G27 that has a dead zone in the middle, but it's down right horrible on the clubsport v2. I don't know if I'll have the time to setup my second rig with the G27 before race start.

@Dragos Haba

Has anyone tested this since the 1.0.5 update today? The original 1.1 beta they accidentally released broke all modded cars.

 

[Matt]

1.0.5? I'm only seeing 1.02

works just fine, hence the practice server!

Then you need to update your AC .

I was driving it yesterday with a clubsport v1 and had no trouble. Maybe it was the update. haven't tried it today.

 

[Geof]

Sign me in, pls.
Thx.

 

[Russell Sobie]

If we don't get six in the next 1.5 hours, I'm going to need to back out to make other plans for this evening.

 

[Angelo dos Santos]

I have a previous event to atend. Thats why I didnt signed.
I hope you guys can get a good crowd.

 

[Stereo]

I'll sign up, not sure what the pick-up means though, just that there's no booking hour ahead of time?
