I'd like to join you for this race if that's ok.

Also, if anyone could help please, I created a team, how do I now invite someone to the team?

Is there any way to deflate the tyres more, as mine seem to be a few PSI too high when warm?

Not that I can find - you just have to drive around it I'm afraid. Or play with your setup so the tires don't get so hot to start with - that was only partially successful for me last time though so not sure it's possible to completely avoid or pressuring..

Seems like a bug in the setup screen or tyre physics, as the pitstop window allowed for 16 PSi instead of 18 IIRC.

Is there a stracker online for this?

It was last time, but you'll need to go to a different race and look from there. No links here

Hi, I'd like to sign up for the Barbagallo round. I love these fat arse cars and their sheer indifference to my demands that they respect my authority. Probably a Falcon. :tank: Cheers

Please count me in for the next race. I'll make my choice after I'll have the time to try the cars  :P

Physics are the same regardless Manteos - It's just down to which Brand you favour or dash you think looks nicest :)

Do setups get shared between cars tho? I have a setup for the Nissan, but I'm not sure I can use it when I get thrown into a Ford.

From how i read it, you pick the car manufacturer, the game will give you a skin. It wont randomly give you either a Ford, Nissan or Holden

Post by: frex on September 09, 2018, 06:40:12 PM +0100
Yes, but I think Jeff is talking about when we go online onto the race or practice server - there have definitely been one or two instances when ppl have been put into the wrong cars (not just the wrong skin). And yes, if that happens you won't ordinarily see your setup, as despite the physics being the same for all 3 cars, the setups are locked to each make.

It is of course possible however to manually copy the setup across to the appropriate track folders for the other two cars to make sure you won't be stuck without a saved setup just in case you get thrown into the wrong car. Setups are in Documents/assetto corsa/setups and have two files - the .ini file is the setup, and the .sp file is the pitstop strategy.

Sorry chaps, but I'm forced to withdraw from this event. Completely forgot about a dear friend birthday and I'll be out for the dinner, so I have no chance to join this one. Hope I'll be there for the next.

See you :)

Only I'm still in the wrong car so it would be nice to be Rick for this round  :)

What car are you expecting to be in FMG, I can't see any obvious mistakes in the INI file.

It has you as the Black Night Racing Nissan

Always nice to see new racers joining in but it helps if they identify themselves.

Could Simone Bellon please speak up or I can't include you in the results. What's your forum name?

Sorry about that, that'd be me. I did identify myself prior to yesterday's race, but I posted my info on the rules and sign up topic for this series, thinking it was the best place for it.

Lot of weird mishaps in that race for me - including getting a mystery 20 second penalty, and then entering the wrong pitlane..! But I had a good battle with Larry for much of it. However in the second half after the stops I was 2 or 3 laps down and so when I got past you I was just getting blue flags. So dropped behind again and kept a respectful distance thereafter. Hope I was not in your way.

Can we get some more Altimas on the server? There's only 2 at the moment, and they get snapped up quickly.
