RD GP Championship 2016

Chark · Feb 23, 2016

Well guys, there you have it, my first time skinning a car! This skin is inspired by Nascar driver Matt Kenseth's Ford in the early 2000s, which to this date is still one of my favorite designs.

A big thanks to @Sun Levi @Tal @Tobias Röhner @Matheus Machado for helping me when I bombarded them with newbie questions. Also, special thanks to my daddy for doing the helmet design!

Great one for a first skin

How I imagine this weekend is going down.

Fast-forward to 2:24 for Sir David Attenborough commentary on the battle at Silverstone

I'll see myself out now. Proceed with an on topic discussion...

There's some European wildlife being imported illegally to ruin the fun... oh and two Americans.

Finally got around to looking at the skins.

It's a bright grid for sure! Wow, there are some real stunners out there.

If anyone else wants to stream their races from their POV, feel free to, provided of course you receive consent from your team mates in your TeamSpeak channel, and so long as it doesn't make you ping all over the place.

I'll add links to those who stream it in the recap article.

I should be fine with the warping, if it does, we shall notice during P/Q
Also, I have no teammates, so I'll be on the generic TS channel and I have a way to keep TS communication out of the stream

Scrambles · Feb 27, 2016

I can't believe I've done something so moronic as to delete my AC folder by mistake

It's my own stupid fault for doing no practice over the last few days, otherwise I would have obviously realised. What a week...

Bogman · Feb 27, 2016

Sorry, guys. My apologies if it was my fault at the start. I thought I was far enough but somehow I tapped someone or someone got tapped and then bumped into me.

I had massive damage; went into the pits and that put me a lap down. Then I was starting to enjoy some close racing, made a clean pass, then I got tapped from behind at the next corner. A lot of damage on the rear wing and that was it. It must be my connection as there was clear warping. Big disappointment especially since it is so early in the morning here. Until next time.

Ricoow · Feb 27, 2016

Got lagcrashed in Turn 3, rear wing damage, pitted.
Drove a couple of laps, got with some traffic. Guy in front spins out, no way to avoid, front wing damage was the result. Didn't pit.
Battling, another spin, hit it again and then my car went all acrobatic and flipped over. Got reset to pit. DNF.
