AC Escort RS1600 @ Silverstone International - Monday 15th February 2021

[Reik Major]

Hi Reik, I'm not hosting, it's @Interslice , I just tagged a few of the guys.

I did put a practice server up on RaceDepartment.com Escort Practice. It's a bit late, but I'll be on it quicker next time.

lol, edited my above post.

It's from a CiviC Type R EP3. Cheapest seat I could find nearby at £50. It's actually in good condition and with standard seat rails it means getting in and out is a little easier as I can slide back. Well, until it hits the bed! Good use of space like you say. My wife wanted that old doorway to turn into a wardrobe in the spare room for dresses but I got there first

Possesion is 9/10s of the law. Well.... no it isn't actually, but I won't tell.

Only just noticed these as I usually check the calendar but they're not listed. Any reason for that?

Breaking out the sequential shifter for this one, may as well get used! Assuming the race version of the RS1600 wasn't a 4/5 speed manual right? If so i'll have to break that out instead

I can make the Monday event due to holiday! Is the ambient temp 17c and road 10c? Seems a little on the cool side.

If so, it's good for more drifts on the cold tyres.

 

[Interslice]

Welcome along mark. It's a good question! Apparently this results in a calculated road temp of 27 C which is about 'optimal'. I'm guessing the answer is to do with the clear conditions and sunlight or just because Kunos says so.

[Denis Betty]

I think the 10 degrees is how much the road surface is warmer than air temp. I think I used to run it at 22 + 5 or something.

Please help! I can't find the race server

 

[HF2000]

Please help! I can't find the race server

Did you try Simracing.gp instead of racedepartment?

 

[Interslice]

Please help! I can't find the race server

The sgp servers unfortunately don't launch until the event starts. If you search the server code for this event #DL1J5 (without the #) at 20:01 utc it should pop up.

 

[Reik Major]

Yes but no server

ok, so there's no one at the practice server atm though?
