As it's a fun race can we enable all of the GT3's?
And maybe the Glickenhaus's too ;)

Why not all the GT3's? I think the ones that are not included are the slower ones, so it won't imbalance the field IMO.

I originally only put 5 car choices as this is a fun race a few days before xmas and i was only expecting about 3 or 4 people to turn up. I can add some more if there is interest :)

Respect that you are willing to put in all the effort even though you expect such low numbers  :thumbup1:

back to AC GT3's this week with a fun race at Eastern Creek. I chose this track as it was a good blast recently when we raced here in the V8's. Practice server will be up tomorrow night!

Sorry no Glickenhaus for this funrace.

Is there a specific reason for it?

I'm not sure what to take, I wanna take the Nissan, but maybe Porsche as well for the same reason as DLC.

Yes, I ran out of time, I modified a previous GT3 car list for this race, unfortunately the AC server files can be a lot more time consuming than RRE!

Gligenhaus is not showing in server, is it taken off from carlist? Really like to have that, if possible.

They didn't make it into the Server ini file.

I'm not so annoyed now as one of the springs in my sequential controller snapped on me last night :hammer:

Results done.

Enjoyed that, managed to get a setup that worked, but became very loose once the tyres wore
I should have given a bit more rear grip, but would have been slower I guess.

FMG was in a different race than us Earthlings  :alien: Spanner was faster than me, but had a few offs
and packed it in after a while.

The porsche was great fun here - a real shame Jeffrey decided not to join us as I was enjoying that hugely.
I now see what everyone used to complain about re. The soft tires,  mine over heated so fast I was quicker on the mediums..
I don't know if the Porsche is considerably quicker than the other cars picked, or if I just gelled with the track better - which is possible given we only recently had the V8 race here.

They didn't make it into the Server ini file.

I'm not so annoyed now as one of the springs in my sequential controller snapped on me last night :hammer:

I've just performed a bodge/fix using the battery springs out of a broken inspection lamp in the garage, so if you can manage to get the P4/5 in for Donny that would be great. I'm just off to test the shifter there for 20 mins to see if it holds together...

I finally got the Ferrari working really well here, but didint think i'd be as close to FMG's time. But Too many mistakes, Spun it out of turn 2 and donw the hill int othe barriers, Came back up thefield, closing Matt down but then just got caught on the rubbish kurb models and lost it. Was pretty annoyed, car felt damamged so quit.
