Could be fun if we use this skinpack:

Should be good fun with a Rift, something to look forward too when I get back  :)

These things have DRS, but I'm not sure how accurate that is implemented in the game.

only done a handful of laps thanks to a rift firmware update and then a big steam update  ::)  but nifty single seater and great view from the Rift  :)

Could do with a setup if anyone has a decent one. The medium tyres seem to instantly have too much air in them with the default setup by +3 to 4 psi  ??? strange!

Got no benchmark times to compare against  :-\ but still to learn the track and car combo.

Mmm I had a Windows update mess up my screen resolution and I havent been able to fix it yet. Don't count on me racing this one unfortunately as I don't have the time to get behind the pc again until Wednesday evening.

Posted a tweaked setup from the market on stracker. Car rotates very well with that one, maybe too well, so might want to tone that down a bit, but it's easier that way than the other way around IMO.

Ah damn just read this after my brief practise sesh. Thanks Jeff will try it out tomorrow eve.
Finally had someone else on the practice server to trade lap times with (fmg) and was good fun for half hour beating each other’s times  :). Improved by 3 secs.

Do you guys want me to make an entry list with the F1 skins in the opening post? If you do and you want a certain skin, let me know, otherwise you'll get a random skin. If nobody downloaded that pack, I won't bother as people will just see the same stock skins.

I would save the skin pack for a series if we run one Jeff. I’m sure we can make do for a test race  :)

apologies for the early exit. Not that it made much difference with only 4 turning up  :(  I stupidly span into the barriers on the first couple of laps and either damaged my front wing or suspension so the car was carp from then on and wouldn't turn in. FMG gamely hung back for a dice but I couldn't race him with my fubared understeering car  :-[

Can only assume everyone is on holiday still  :-\

ps, only noticed a few mins before the start that it was a 40minute race. We really don't need it that long for a test race and small turnouts.

Hadnt done any practise so picked up Jeffs setup and just kept putting laps on it. decided to drop the front ARB a few clicks to help on turn in.

Was expecting to circulate on my own but decided to try and concentrate as both Mark and FMG dropped back. Decided to leave once FMG came past, but he caught me on a really rubbish lap, almost losing it in the first corner so wasn't going to fight things too much.

Enjoyed that, if a bit tiring for 40mins

What DRS rules are you used in Q and race, guys? As i remember, it is not possible to disable DRS from server side?

Just use whenever. Like you say, it can't be regulated, so making it used realistically is impossible.

So what's the point of the DRS boards some tracks have? Just cosmetic?

You should have stayed on - even with the fuel I added to the setup I was going to run out a lap from home.
I ended up pitting at the end of the penultimate lap as I wasn't sure I could limp another complete lap on a third of a laps' fuel!

These are alright to drive, but I don't like them for racing. The really fast stuff is rarely any fun for wheel to wheel battles - and of all the modern F1 stuff available the engines in these sound particularly boring.

IMHO and most community choice  openwheel is RSR formula 3 for online racing. No DRS and kers. Speed is near GT3 cars level. Latest update Ver 4.0 is very good car. I dont like previous ver 3. But 4 is more better for me )

Anyway, i am in vacation from AC for now . It's time for my guitar learning and practise  :)

They show when you can activate them, but there is no 1 second rule AFAIK.
