Final round of the V8 supercars this Sunday

Yes sir!

Never seen or driven this track before. I hope it is good.

Its AC race weekend. Final round of the V8 series

The practice server is up and running

I get a checksum error when joining. Usually that's a track or car difference
I have dl/d the files using the home page links, and I still get the error
Is the server on a different version?

Also, does everyone get the glass wall all along the white line for pit exit?

Indeed carefull exiting pit lane! Invisible wall on the White line andere on the left curb in the first kink!

Err #Metoo

Just downloaded the file now and tried joining but get a checksum error.

#metoo

I will see if the expert Picnic is about to have a look

The track checks out so it must be the cars. I wonder if I have an older version here :( I will download it again but it might not be until mid afternoon tomorrow before I get a chance to do something with the files. I've replied to your PM SRW with a possible alternative solution.

I've updated the files for the cars, hopefully it's ok now.

Thanks Picnic, just logged on and it works ok for me.

With regards to the invisible walls.....

As previously stated the white blend line exiting the pits is an invisible wall. There is also a small white line on the kink before the first corner which will end your race if you hit it. This kink is near the racing line so you will need to give it a wide berth especially if you are side by side with another car.

I have just found another small section of white line/invisible wall about 50 metres before the kink, but this is well off the racing line.

I would advise everyone to find these before you do any practice. If anyone has any objections to using this track tonight, could you please shout out before 5pm. We could swap the track to Bahrain as most of us have it fresh in our minds from the last round.

I don't have a problem with this track.
That's said, i am out for diner tonight, so not excactly sure if i am able to make it tonight...

I'm fine with running here, the tracks an utter blast in VR.
Tbh the invisible wall in T1 isn't a major issue as I wouldn't want to be that close to the apex anyway.
The bigger worry is the quicksand along the pit wall - normally i'd run right along it to T1, but am having to leave nearly a cars width spare.

cant say i noticed anything in T1

Can we see these lines on the track?

The pit lane invisible wall runs the entire length of the white blend line. Technically we shouldn't be crossing that anyway ;)

I'm not quite sure where the one inside T1 is, but if you try and run across the kerb there it'll probably end your race.

There's no visible sign of the sticky road I've found yet, but it's situated on the far right near to the start/finish line. So far I've used all of the road exciting the final corner without issue, and just let the car wander a bit back towards the center of the road straight after.

Hit one of the invisible glass walls, bent the steering, so left

Congrats to FMG on the Championship win.

It was a shame the Oran Park track had bugs in it as it is a real roller coaster of a ride, especially the first part of the track (under and over the bridge).

As a big V8 supercars fan, I really enjoyed trying to get on top of these niche cars and learning all the Aussie circuits.

We are going to have a few fun races now (Sebring, Valencia and Okoyama) while the RRE WTCR series concludes. Then a double whammy (AC & RRE) of Porsche Supercup racing over the summer period.

That was a great finish to the season, shame the track was bugged a bit - but tremendous fun anyway 8)

I spent my lunch today watching old ATCC races from the 80's here, and then found some onboard footage from Craig Lowndes - Which was remarkably similar to the track in AC.

I have to agree. Really nice trying out all those aussie tracks. And what a great cars these V8 cars are. Though and with some depth to how you manage throttle, brakes and tire wear. Multiple race strategies were possible. Double the participants and it would be truely epic.
Hope to see these cars back some Day.

Tnx to all who participated and congrats to FMG on winning the title!
