Sorry for double-post but I figured it might be a bigger chance that someone of you notice there is a new post.

When I asked about the skinning - I thought how to get that skin pack in my game, not how to paint a car I know that in the end of that tutorial Jorge gave me there is directory where should I put my skin but I dont quite get what I should do with all those files and folders from the skin pack.. Is it OK to have it like this:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\*my steam acc*\race 07\CustomSkins\Mini Friday

Or In the "CustomSkins" folder there should be all those folders with people names?

 

[Jorge Alves]

they must be here:
C:\Users\(your user)\Documents\SimBin\RACE 07\CustomSkins\Mini Friday

 

[Viesturs Priede]

OK, thanks Now I should be all set..

 

[Jorge Alves]

OK, thanks Now I should be all set..

Good to know! Have a good race ... and remember ... enjoy your driving ... safe and clean!

Good to know! Have a good race ... and remember ... enjoy your driving ... safe and clean!

Yeah, I most definately will, thanks! My main aim is to bring it home in one peace because I have no illusion about my pace Havent done any actual practice, will do it when the official practice time will be there

...and I feel so stupid now.. If I only had read through the first page of this topic before.. Some of my questions would have been answered straight away. Wow, this was extremely dumb, my biggest apologies.

I can not find the teamspeak info. I know the password but I don't know what the server is.

Tried searching team speak's server list for racedepartment, race department, and race. help please?

 

[Bob Miley]

Absolutely knackered so just looking to finish tonight.

 

[Super Koala]

I left the start line to check that I had wets on. Doh!

 

[Leon Charmant]

I'm terribly sorry that we had contact in the first corner, Marian! Can you ever forgive me for that? I assumed I had left you enough room, though unfortunately you tapped my car just a little bit Normally I'm very much aware of where my opponents are, though this time I made a wrong estimation. Sorry again, mate!
I was comfortably in fourth, had a very nice battle with Mark (thanks for the clean racing!) but then, after Mark passed me, my game crashed
Mixed feelings but still had a nice race.
Cheers all, hope to see you again soon.

 

[John Robertson]

Well damn. I went to make my pit stop and I guess in the hectic moments trying to figure out fuel strategy I must have hit the button twice. Ended up stopping and not getting fuel, so of course I ran out the next lap.

Oh well, I had a great start but spun it on lap 2 coming out of the fast S. I was a bit surprised, I've never done that before. That was my first race, but definitely not my last, good race everyone, I had fun. (despite running out of fuel.)

[Bob Miley]

Great racing as always.

 

[Viesturs Priede]

That was really fun! Messed up the strategy and pitstops. Also received stop/go for speeding in the pitlane. Well, I just thought that the pitlane ends at the orange line, appereantly - it doesnt. Also my first race, at completely unknown track but it was great, thanks!

By the way, were you guys driving with wet tyres? Because I did the whole race on dry compounds.. I know it was rainning at some points but it didnt felt that bad..

 

[Mark Gormley]

Great fun, top racing and very equal driving at the start, managed to make a few places up as people made mistakes. Made a bit of a mess of my stop but managed to settle into second when everything had played out.

@Carlos Mateus, please be aware traffic on the track has right of way and be more careful when you rejoin. If I hadn't gone evasive you would have written me off.

From then it was a chase after sleepy Bob out front, managed to take a few seconds off him but then the rain started and he just out-drove me in the tricky conditions. Rolled home 2nd, best ever Mini result so very much chuffed.

 

[Marian Zelenka]

Never do that Peter. Check "Session info" and then "Race monitor" where you can see how the track looks like. You can see track condition and forecast in session info. It's still hard to decide which tires to choose though. But the rule is, never put wet tires on when you don't see many rain drops. Try to set rain in practice and see through session info how it looks like. And remember that when it rains less than that, wet tires don't work good and overheat or are as "fast" as slicks. When the track is only damped, you are fine with slicks and wet tires don't work. When you are on track and have to use wiper rarely, then you are fine on slicks as well. Providing you can handle that. You can run your own server and set weather as you like and practice as much as you like. If you are interested how to do that, send me a PM. It's easy.

I had a bad start and then was watching where the other cars were. I was looking behind me, beside me, checking virtual mirror, but didn't change my line even though I didn't see anyone. Well, you were there. It's partialy my fault because I use only 5:4 lcd with virtual mirror and sometimes only guess where other cars are. I'll have to check virtual mirror's fov if I am able to tweak that. I also use track map.

After I found myself at the back I started chasing and overtaking, but soon I made a mistake because I lost my rithm and damaged suspension. Then I lost my car like four times and lost too much time. I somehow managed to stay on track for 13 laps or so and then went to pits for repair, tires and fuel to the end of the race. But my car was too heavy and I lost it again, three times in the first corner (!). My back was faster than front. Then I got use to it and everything was fine. Except my tires being too worn out at the end of the race when it started raining. XD plugin showed some small red stripes. If it wasn't for so many mistakes, that strategy would be good.

I was able to unlap myself. If I wasn't faster and that car hadn't slowed a bit, it wouldn't have worked I'm afraid because I got blue flag warning before I ran away. Good to know this.

I like Curitiba but have had three bad races here. But P1 in qual was unexpected!

I had troubles with this as well. This video helped me a lot. There was even a forum thread about this.
