@Brandon Wright just a heads up mate, the great land downunder "OZ" returned to normal "sane" timezones end of March.
Pen me in as a yes, Sunday morning is a good time for me,and Brands is a fav old track

I'm in. I finished work about 15 minutes before Practice so I may a touch late but I'll make Qualy no worries.

Ah, noted. Do I need to adjust the OZ time in the OP? Got you added.

Fixed. Thanks pal!

It's 10am AEST, not 9am AEDT or am I wrong? 0000 GMT is 1000 AEST.

It's the new Oculus drivers. With 2 computers, you can use each eyepiece independently now, so I thought I'd give it a try. They warn that such use may cause Schitzophrenia, but I've already got that, so no harm.

Lol. I didn't realize I had already signed up for this one once. My bad

I'm going by what @Andrew Scott said but according to Google it should be 10am AEST, not 9am. I'm confused...

I'm confused too now, the few races I had were 7am starts for me which is consistent with a 3hr difference between WA and the Eastcoast which is daylight savings time.

I'm in Western Australia, we voted daylight savings out it's just WST Western Standard Time, we're GMT+8.
WA is normally 2hrs behind Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, but it goes haywire in summer because not all of Oz has daylight savings anymore so @AussieDucker could be right mate, depends if the time was based on Qld or NSW time. I'd go with google, I'm an unreliable source in comparison

Done. If you people would stop living in the future maybe it wouldn't be so difficult.

 

[Tobiman]

Will give it a try.

Ran with the Euro boys today with these cars at Silverstone, no ABS. Got my butt handed to me. Is there a Noob class lurking in the basement I can join

Ive been looking for a noob class all my sim career, but alas Ive never found one

Why does AC feel like the cars are going slow, I find rF2 the same. Yet AMS & RRE give the feeling that you are traveling at high speed.....cause you are. Very strange feeling, the scenery should be passing by at a rapid rate of blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr but it doesn't, guess I'll get use to it with time

I'm lapping Brands in low 1:29's ATM, should get into the 28's, rear wing at 5 currently.
Cheers

 

[MTBR2001]

i'll try this one please

guess I'm in for a long career of mediocrity, but that's ok. It's more about sharing with like minded people for me anyway.
This is a can of worms that I don't like to deal with, but the speed factor has to do with your fov. The lower the number, the slower you seem to be going.
Soooo when I used a fov between 60-80 the track seemed narrow and straightaways stretched out really long, but the speed factor was insane. I mean you really felt it (Mach 2 with your hair on fire). It was tunnel vision and braking points and apexes were impossible to hit.
With my fov set between 28-33 it was exactly the opposite. Track was nice and wide, but straightaways looked squeezed up ie too short. My braking points and apexes were easier to see and hit, but I seemed to be traveling very slow. You get used to it.
Now I use a compromise that fits what I, ME, BP can live with. I would mention the number, but then I'd have to kill you
Seriously, I shared a video from my boobtube site addressing fov and my controller sensitivity and the thread went all catawampus. I was just trying to help.
I vowed to never again address the Sacred, Holy, Untouchable FOV and I am not doing it here either FOV aficionados
