I did quite some practice and also tried to find the limits of my PC. Apparently the limit is somewhat at 20 cars grid without major stuttering and fps drops.

Therefore I am going to pull-out of this race. I thinks it is not going to make much fun this way and I would represent an danger to others.

But some day I'll be back!

If you did it with AI, it's entirely possible you're at the CPU limit, and you wouldn't necessarily reach that online

AI takes a lot of processing power in AC.

I'll remove you if you want, but you're welcome to join us for practice after 8pm, where we should have most of the drivers out on track. If it's causing problems then, it should be pretty obvious

Thanks for the kind offer, but remove me from the list please.
I tried it on public servers with around 20 to 24 cars on the grid. Even past the first corner the CPU occupancy warning was popping up regularly and after 10 minutes or so everything goes down the drain with heavy stutters and fps drops.

650s please
only thing I can get close to 200kph through Hawthorns

still only lapping at 95% of world record though!
Biasing the brakes slightly forward from best, seems to be helpful in braking hard into a corner- especially on a bent track like this.

Anyone else rocking the z4, are you finding the front left tyre is getting red when going round druids? Seems a little hot to me

Locoblade · Jun 13, 2020

Can I change to the Audi please

Ernest Raoult · Jun 13, 2020

I'm sorry I can't race for this event, please cancel me from the list.

Medilloni · Jun 13, 2020

In with 650S please Chris, and thanks for organising

@Chris Down Chris, I've had it with the R8. Can't get a confident feeling with it on Brands. I'm going to learn an other car in the next races. So can you switch me to the 488 #505 please?

I've switched you to the 488. For the skin, you need to use the assigned skins thread

Glad to have you back mate!

Steve O'Malley · Jun 14, 2020

Chris, re building my rig and probably wont be finished. Can you put me as a reserve please

Spilskinanka · Jun 14, 2020

@Chris Down Glad to see this is still running, I haven't been able to do sim racing for almost a year since moving for my placement but I'll be back home next week so hopefully will make my return then. Congrats on being made staff too Chris, I'm sure he's been a worthy host for these races!

So yes, be prepared for my rusty 911 to come back next week.

Hey Chris,
I have to sign out, once again..
Hurt my hand during kitesurfing today, can't really enjoy holding the wheel.

Wish you all a good race! Brands hatch is 99% guaranteed fun

Syndrami · Jun 14, 2020

I'm gonna have to cancel this one, have a great race tonight

Waffen · Jun 14, 2020

I'm gonna back out of this one. Brands has always been my most hated track but since i have started playing again a lot of my opinions on my previously disliked tracks have changed, sadly however after giving it 2 hours and a few car changes this track still needs to be abolished.

nash112 · Jun 14, 2020

@Chris Down Are we still using teamspeak tonight for voice or the discord?

I have no idea how anyone can dislike this track, but sure
