Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see
cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the Euro and American Track Packs for this series (And maybe another
non pack track occasionally)
(4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit.

(5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface)
Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

i did any laps already, and i do like (or love) this car/track combination totaly.

grafic, sound, carhandling and FFB (yes, i like FFB in r3e) is all perferct,
since long long longer time i have again this great "racefeeling, racefun" which i had only in GTR2 in past and then not anymore, and i did all the new racegame drive.

...and the AI cars are very good too, only in rf2 i like the AI cars more a little.

hope goldtop can make this race, as the championship is extrem close between 3 drivers actual.

I'm a big fan of Sonoma, so in spite the fact that my old left hand/arm injury is bothering me these days, I would love to join this one.

HOWEVER.......................

There's a small update, and unfortunately it contains a bug somewhere. The game now wants you to log on, the same way you log on to the website.

Only it doesn't work :- ((


Error 503  
Backend services unavailable  
Cheeck in later.


I wish they would call the guys from LFS and have them explain, how to make things work :- ))

Stig

PS. This is how that injury started way back in 72'  :  http://1drv.ms/1S6IFz1 (http://1drv.ms/1S6IFz1)

The issue is not related to the update. They had some server meltdown. Bloody annoying but I'd be surprised if its not back up before 7:45

Broken here. Still.

Man they really need to get this server back end sorted out. It's been flaky as hell since the summer. I dread to think what the code looks like


Title: Re: RRE Season 2 Race Room Historics - Sonoma Raceway - Nov 19
Post by: phspok on November 19, 2015, 08:23:01 PM +0000

Well done Gents

A race I was not looking forward too, changed my car in the last minute because I saw Mr Berger was flying, just used a base setup, but it worked out.

Sorry John if I got in your way

Thank you all
Ant

Two races, Ant, Chunky and Berger at the front, then Jim and I at the back after each fell off, only a second apart for
most of the race, brill stuff  :punk: We decided at one point to compare the brakes of the Swedish Tank  :tank:
against the German missile  :fencing: and , err, the Tank doesn't stop as well  :o

Results Posted

yes.. I may have slightly missed my braking point there, sorry fella. Good fight though, your pace was improving all race and that sodding volvo is so much quicker on the straights it makes passing it really hard. Looked like you were really having to man-handle it too :)

Post by: phspok on November 19, 2015, 09:44:46 PM +0000
Yes, it's a barely controlled crash all race, it's not the most well balanced of cars, but I like it, the tyres seem to go off a bit
more than the others in the group so it usually gets slower towards the end, so I left it a bit more front grip
which worked out well, but was like herding cats for the first few laps  ;D

WOW what a race! grats Ant on the win you put up with a lot of pressure from both me and Reinhard well done!

sorry for the tap Ant, tried to stick a move down the inside as I had seen you had gone wide, braked late and unfortunately had no where to go:)

can't make the next one i am away on business, have a go one lads!

Glad you guys had a good race.

Tried again today still get error 503 back end service not available, this is stupid a sim you can not use even to practice on off line.
