*There should be no overtaking or hard accelerating/braking
*Drivers should avoid getting too far behind or too close to the driver in front
*Approximately 20 seconds before crossing the start line the pole sitter should slow down to a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*Each following driver shall close up directly behind the driver in front also maintaining a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*The pole sitter should maintain that speed until they cross the start line and then accelerate away to start the race (lap2)
*Each following driver should only accelerate when the driver directly ahead does (they do not have to wait until crossing the start line)
*No overtaking is allowed before crossing the start line at the completion of the formation lap

The practice server is up for the next round of the V8 series

I have added some extra Datsuns to the grid

Darnit. Looks like I am not home for this round.  :(

We are back in AC mode this Sunday at Winton!

Wow, thats a horrible track to drive.

Any help with what to do with the setup? Doesnt feel like anything will majically change the experience

Not an inspiring track, but I assume this is where they run in real life.
So far I am just using my phil island setup

has anyone got any setup tips for coping with the massive kerbs. If I attack them I end up swapping ends. FYI I am running default setup at the moment

Hi guys. Sorry for the late update but I won't be able to race with you tomorrow.
Have fun :)

Not sure I am using kerbs, but try my easier to drive setup?

I've just stayed away from the kurbs making the track feel even narrower. It is very difficult to judge just how close you are to the sometimes
.

Doesn't it work to increase the ARB?

Huzzar! I'm in the right skin! Just in time too as Winton was Kelly's' first win this year ;)

I'm running my Barbagello setup, which is probably more or less my Phillip island setup.
As for kerbs, all you have to do is remember the car has a spool diff - if you're on the throttle it'll throw you high and you can easily loose it on landing/bounce.
Just back off/let off the throttle as you hit kerbs and land to keep the car flatter - that said I'm finding a few of the corners faster if you stay off the kerbs completly, still experimenting at the mo though so that might change when I jump back on later this afternoon.

Sorry to miss this one too. I'm lying sick in bed.  >:(

watch out for the black holes after turn2 on the entrance and exit tarmac for the old pits

I found those too!
Bloody annoying!

not the best quality track, but I wanted to include as many of the real life tracks as possible. These cars are a real handful out of the slow corners. I was keeping up with matt leading up to the pit stops, managed to come out of my stop in front then immediately spun on cold tyres! then had a good battle catching him up and managed to pass when he ran wide.
 
Shame about the low turnout, Hidden Valley next time out, hopefully a few more drivers will turn up

As said, not the best track to look at but seemed pretty accurate to the real thing - I can see why the drivers generally like it.

I had a very strong race last night, but we were missing a lot of people so sadly it was a quiet race.

Hopefully will have a bigger grid for Hidden Valley as that's one of the best venues in the calender, I hope that it's upto part graphically!
