You can use a non-skinned car - in fact unless you're in a team or have a privateer skin you'll have to!

The practice server is up most of the time, you may or may not find others on it. However often by joining you will find others do to.

Its fianlly arrived!!! Can't wait to get it loaded up tonight. Is it best to remove the demo before installing? If I want to take part tomorrow night, which I do, do I need to install the Zhuhai track? When I download such things, including the skinpack do I save it on the first prompt or open it? Sorry for the daft questions! Regards Colin

Zhuhai is a standard track, you will have it Save the skin pack then if you need to reinstall it for any reason you still have a copy.

That's because practice servers use a different password as detailed in this threadPlease don't post passwords as not everyone is signed up for whatever series and therefore may not have access to that series' password, plus some parts of the forum are free for the whole internet to read.

Morning! Had a great practice last night, really enjoyed it. Started out in an NGT, the TVR. Managed mid 1.43's. Finally changed to the 575 and managed a 1.35. Having just a controller is a real nightmare! Throttle and break is just on - off - on - off. Really need a wheel. Can't get out of corners quick in most cases and was locking up too much. Anyway, I have a prior engagement pending tonight so hopefully i'll make it for the sprint tonight. Though anyone who was on last night is praying I wont be! I'm still cleaning out the gravel Regards Colin

Linco I believe that steering wheel is a must if you plan racing with us tonight. Don't take this personally, but most of us spend time preparing setup and polishing our skills and your car would be nothing but a moving danger. I would strongly suggest buying even the cheapest wheel (red Logitech for example) so you could join us asap.
