[Dario Jagar]

waiting time depends on how long cuircut is and on which position on track you "called" tow truck, for me it was about 2 mins yesterday for towing

 

[Nick Brooke]

Signed up even though i have had the grand total of 1 hour practice so far. ill do my best to stay out of your way all

 

[Phil Hopkins]

I'd like to do this one. Do I have to have all the cars to participate (don't have the Vette yet)?

 

[Dario Jagar]

yes

edit: of course better wait until final decision is made which cars will run

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

I have 30 mins practice Nick... You will do fine

 

[Ivo Simons]

Maybe for me. Was planning to do a RACE event tonight. But my pc shuts itself down with all this heat.
And this event is later. So hopefully it will be colder by then.

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

After the first crash I drove back to the pits and hoped to repair the car. But it just did a pitstop. I pressed esc and drive again and then the repairs took place after waiting 4+ mins.

 

[Nick Brooke]

I dont see the server in the list yet

 

[Dario Jagar]

Practice start time: 19:00GMT

one hour almost from now

 

[Dario Jagar]

when you drive back in the garage crew is repairing car and this takes longer depending on level of damage (to be used when reset are not available) or for pure "realism", if you take shift+R it will tow the car round the track and give you "new" car

 

[Nick Brooke]

ah it is bang on time then sorry didnt realise

 

[Alisdair Buttery]

I suppose im too late for registration. Forgot to check the site for the races any idea on when and where the next mx5 race shall be? Thanks

 

[Nick Brooke]

[Dario Jagar]

Mazda MX-5 @ Brands Hatch - Tuesday July 12, 2011

 

[Erik Tveit]

Why's it setup on Jefferson Course? O.o

Did I miss something?

Nevermind, I found out.

 

[Theo de Bruin]

I also missed it was on Jefferson course. First time racing and without any practice I decided to quit so not to ruin other peoples race. Maybe next race!

 

[Ivo Simons]

Sorry needed to sign out. Pc was overheating and also lost my FF suddenly. Car was like all over the place and FF became dead when i turned in a corner. Not sure what it is. Also the biggest thing i need to adjust to is cockpit view. Really cant see any apex or distance atm. Is there is a "look into apex" option?

 

[Nick Brooke]

Well did a few laps was enjoying myself, ran ito the pit entrance accidently and got a speeding ticket lol. back to pits after my first lap back into race lost all concentration due to silly pit penalty and spaun right out. Thought id better leave than hit someone.

First time was good fun ty

 

[Dazmaniac]

Whilst hitting folks is not a joyous experience, in hosted sessions you won't be hit with SR and iRating decreases.

Running in RD races with the members is a great place to learn some race craft. I would say most, if not all, would be willing to offer advice during our practice sessions to get you set for race time. We've all been there and been the 'new kid on the block'.

Whilst you may get your head chewed off in official races within the iRacing service, the RD members are a more refined, friendly crowd, lol.
