Some words, guys!  ;D
Wow. Just tested some laps in this car and found new ( patched) version 1.1 more and more comfortable to drive than earlier versions.  :o Center of gravity is more lower and other suspention details is corrected. Car is more and more stable now. It's a good news for me.  This car is good drivable now ( especially when well setuped. Default toe-camber values is so far from optimal) . Needs to be tuned to car normals in toe ( near zero deg) Have a good race guys!  :)

Is it possible to practice with the correct ballast? I tried offline but couldn't see a way to set it, then tried online on the practice server but according to stracker no ballast was set there either    ???

The practice server should be setup with the correct ballast......I will check the server settings

Are there reserve slots on the entry list, in case I decide to give it a try (if I'm even able to make it tonight)?

Hi Itamar,

Please can you post on this thread (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=15023.0) and include your GUID.
Hopefully SRW will see you in time to add you.
The password is at the top of the race thread if you've done everything properly :)

Hi all,

we are not using a booking server for this series, so anyone can log on to race tonight  :). you will need to supply me with your GUID if you finish in the top three as you will gain ballast.

just remember to read the race post as it has the info about the downloads needed and the start procedure and pitstop procedure.

it will be good to see some new racers on the grid!

@FREX, I have checked the ballast on the server, your GUID is correct and there is 60 kg against it. PICNIC may be able to figure it out

Thanks Stephen. I am on the server again and seem to be in the wrong skin and without ballast. I am happy to retire from the race if there is a problem, or race without receiving any points.

guys can you help me please?

1. I have never planned a race by time. only by amount of laps. is there any tool that can help me plan my fuel for the race?
2. Is there any website with our lap times, laps, splits etc?

If you try changing the amount of fuel in the tank after you have completed some laps in practice the game will advise you the laps/fuel ratio

@FREX, don't worry about the ballast or car choice  :), I think it is a problem with AC. If PICNIC cannot figure it out I may scrap the ballast

that was an exciting race, and nice to see a new face as well. The barriers are very close at points on this track and these cars are very tricky to drive, but very satisfying!

Hopefully we will get a few more people turn up after the summer holidays


Remember there is a three week break until the next AC V8
race, we are racing Raceroom GT3's at Suzuka next week, then there will be a bank holiday fun race the week after, then the next round of the AC V8 Supercars on Sunday 2nd September at the fast and flowing Philip Island!
