Welcome to the event.

24 signed so far, Come on guys lets hit the 30 mark!

All these cars going down mullhearn at 170mph should be very interesting!

I run Vista and had no problems. To be honest I haven't had too much trouble with running older games on Vista really. Had to download a no-cd crack for ToCA Race Driver 2 but other than that nothing, maybe i've been lucky hehe

Just a quick question for the pcc race tom, are we running on the v1.250 or v1.255 version of rfactor?

or it doesn't matter? u can join the server with either one?

i asked this becaz the "motec add" program didn't seem to work with the v1.255 version.

i've been out of the rfactor scene for too long... i dunno if there's a fix for it..

Any help will be great! Thanks!

 

[Gareth Hickling]

1255F is the server version, You will not be able to connect with any other version.

 

[Sol Leung]

OK! Thank You Gareth!

btw, is there any program like the Race07 PD for the rfactor v1.255??

 

[Simon Trendell]

Most of the info you get from the PD is available in rFactors LCD mode.

The presented times where written in GMT Wintertime. Will it be adjusted for the new summertime? Practice start at 6pm GMT?

GMT isnt affected bt Daylight Savings as its used by many businesses. armed forces etc.
The UK goes on to BST (British Summer Time) which is GMT +1 so other countries will need to add an hour to there usual plus or minus GMT time. Personally I think it would be better to shift the start times one hour earlier (GMT 1800 would be 1900 BST and so on) as tonights race wont finish till 2230BST which is pretty late (even later for those in countries east of the UK).

Lol, I know exactly whats going on. My question is the same. Isn't it good to change all the GMT times -1 hour. (because UK is now BST/GMT+1, CET=GMT+2)

 

[Andy Marsden]

Lol I misinterpreted your query
Yeah I do agree as it could make some races finish quite late for some people (as I said above) though later starts are also good for some of us due to finishing work and getting 'fuelled' before we start racing

Sign me up please

I did not want to change the times as they were posted as GMT times, Changing times and dates are never a good thing to do on the day of the event, So the best bet it to leave it as it is,
If you notice I posted the rad event and hour earlier because of the switch, I would prefer to leave it as it is for tonight,

 

[Robert Maytum]

so gareth would this be starting at 7pm uk time or 8pm?
sorry just so its in my head lol

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

I have to skip it. Race ending after 23.30 here is too late with my alarm clock ringing at 3.30am GMT already.

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Sorry to hear that Ramon,

Practice starts at 7pm GMT = 8pm UK,

 

[Eck Simpson]

I'm extremely confused, its now 6:12 PM on my clock... are we starting in 48 mins?... 7:00 PM

No 7pm GMT, Thats 8pm UK time, Daylight savings are a bugger

 

[Andy Marsden]

Tell me about it!
I'm goning to have to drop out i'm afraid, 2230 finish is a bit late for a work night, if it was a Friday or Saturday it wouldn't be a problem, feeling a bit under the weather as well and don't think I have the stamina for an endurance style race
Ah well next time
Sorry for the inconvienence guys
