So we are still doing 4week gaps betwen races in a series? you just lose all momentum. Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: phspok on January 12, 2018, 10:24:24 AM +0000 There are 3 series at the moment. Could make it two, if people prefer that.
Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: spanner on January 12, 2018, 03:46:38 PM +0000 I guess i was just expecting the Porsche cup again. Nothing to do with my fear for the GTO's :angel:
Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: phspok on January 12, 2018, 03:53:35 PM +0000 Ha. I was thinking of doing an alternate like Jeffrey is at the moment
but I wanted to use the Capri. Perhaps just two at a time would be better. I am going to be traveling up to Glasgow when this runs, so will miss it which is a bummer as I was rather looking forward to it. Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: spanner on January 12, 2018, 04:38:51 PM +0000 Capri, as in group 5's? Its set to GTO, so audi, nissan and mustang?
Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: phspok on January 12, 2018, 05:07:03 PM +0000 Think it was confused, it was wanting to do an update, just reset and tested, and it seems correct
EDIT: And err, even though the server was set to Gr5 Capri, and the picture was a capri and most of the notes said Gr5, I had forgotten to change the car in the front page. This is a series of Gr5 Zakspeed Capris.

Please give what you can, every little helps.
Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: phspok on January 18, 2018, 01:00:54 PM +0000 I am travelling to Glasgow tonight so will miss this :(
WHich is annoying, as I was rather looking forward to it. Server is set to go, as usual could someone join at 19:45 to start the clock correctly? Thanks. Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: picnic on January 18, 2018, 01:12:48 PM +0000 Will do. Having given up with AC, and the 599xx, last night I did a few laps with this combo to see what it was like. Can't see me surviving a whole race over the mountain without some disaster or 6 but I'm looking forward to tonight's event all the same.
Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: phspok on January 18, 2018, 01:23:52 PM +0000 It is always a risky bussiness at the mountain, but these cars are, to my limited skillset at least
easier than I had thought here. Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: BillThomas on January 18, 2018, 08:12:09 PM +0000 Having problems with RRE, first attempt it stuck on the original screen. Did a reboot of PC and on second attempt I found our site but it showed no one on it and I had option to buy Bathurst which I already own and have raced on a number of occasions. ::) ???
Going to have another attempt and then have a night on something else. :surrender: :rockon: Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: BillThomas on January 18, 2018, 08:18:29 PM +0000 Tried again, now shows 2 people on server but still showing I need to buy track. Hope people who got on server had a good race.
Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: Eck Simpson on January 18, 2018, 09:28:31 PM +0000 Well, I enjoyed that. Thank you gents, for letting me take up space on the server tonight. Grats to Dieter and Pete.
The evening didn't start too well, when no one was able to start their respective games. It all worked out for Dieter, Pete and myself, unfortunately not for Mark (Spanner) or indeed Bill it seems, pita. Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: picnic on January 18, 2018, 10:25:10 PM +0000 Yes def some RRE backend server issues tonight that meant a messed up pre race and some people getting content errors.
Well done Eck, great return and showed us how it should be done! I said I'd have a problem over the mountain and duly lost it on lap 2 or 3. A 20 point turn later and I only had people to race as they slowed to let us bunch up again. Still enjoyed that more than the 599xx rubbish in AC ::) Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: frex on January 18, 2018, 10:28:15 PM +0000 Apologies for blundering over the line first and stealing the win, that was not my intention (didn't realise it was the last lap).
Tbh I was really struggling here and I don't know why. I had some practice laps yesterday and was happy with the car, but straight away tonight I just kept losing all traction - seemingly at random and in any gear, even at the end of the straights. I guess I need more practice time to try and understand what's going on, but at the moment I'm confused..! Sorry to hear others had server problems; congrats Eck and Pete. Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: picnic on January 18, 2018, 10:35:21 PM +0000 Both last night and tonight (worse yesterday) I had the odd case of little or no acceleration, as if someone had nicked the turbo. I know low down in the rev range there is very little but I had cases where the turbo didn't kick in until almost full revs. Very strange.
Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Bathurst - Jan 18 Post by: spanner on January 19, 2018, 07:01:12 AM +0000 Yeah, i kept getting content server errors once the game allowed me to run it. Shame as this looked to be a really interesting combo and was looking forward to it. Why couldn't his have happened on an NSU night!
