Eastern Creek next time out in the V8's. Practice server is up and running

Is there another link somewhere?

Looks like it has disappeared. I have found a newer version by the same author. I will need to test it on the server at the weekend to confirm it works ok. If you want to give it a go yourself before then the download link is:

 :)Thanks you Stephen

NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO USE THE NEW TRACK VERSION LISTED AT THE TOP OF THIS THREAD

The server has been updated with the new track

Thanks SRW
Just watched the rl series race 1 @Pukekohe. Great spectacle!

It looks like it's donation time again folk's. Comes round quick doesn't it?

But thanks to your previous generosity we don't have to fork out quite so much to achieve our target, although it's nice to have more rather than less  ;)

So please keep giving whatever you can afford and keep this great site alive

Thank you

Remember dring this a few years ago when we did it in the BMW road car. but is even tougher in the V8!

Indeed. This is one tough track!

Unfortunately, probably tomorrow I will not be able to join. It depends on what time I will return from work.
It seemed a nice track.

Soft tyres do not work well around here but the supersofts seem to run a bit too hot at times. struggling to get the front end to grip in the tight corners too much understeer. But still using FMG's setup as a base.

This isn't proving to be a good week.
The pc blew up on Wednesday, and tonight I have no Internet....

Going to do 20 mins offline and try again I guess :(

Sorry all, I'm going to struggle to make these evenings now over the next few weeks, so probably best if I withdraw. Have a good one.

Just in time!
Hopefully it'll stay up for the race now

Good scrap with Spanner all race long. Even my harder compound right front was overheating.
All went well until i entered the pits and got stuck at a pit wall.. had to esc to pits only to get black flagged for not doing a stop.  :cursing:

Did not want stay out anymore and decided to quit.
Oh and Spanner, you did not have to wait for me after my spin, that was me on my own doing that.

Wasnt expecting that, went into it just hoping to get to half distance having not really done any long runs. But really enjoyed that, just tried putting pressure on Stefan and trying not to hit him! I had to stop as you spun in front and decided to just let you carry on as it didnt feel right!

Well i worked out the lap count, made sure the fuel i started with had enough for that, but forgot to actually setup a pitstop pre-set. I hadnt planned when i was going to stop so just carried on but a kept looking at my fuel usage and expected laps left and they werent adding up! Decided to leave it to the end of the window as i was enjoying the race and didnt know what was going to happen but didnt know what to do and didnt notice the pit menu had popped up in the corner of the right-hand screen!

Did throw me a bit with you guys braking so late into the final sequence, i was having to coast into it, downchanging.

Forgotten what an awesome track Eastern Creek is!

I managed to log onto the server first time without any problems so for once got a decent amount of track time before the race. Was closer to the top racers than I thought. The V8's flow nicely round here and you didn't seem to loose bags of time if you went into a corner too hot, so I tried pushing a bit harder today. Well chuffed to get a podium, even if there wasn't many people in the race.

In to the 'Season of Endurance' next with the Sandown/Bathurst/Surfers combo. I was going to increase the race length for these three races, but I am going to keep it at 40 mins as the grids are not really big enough for longer races.

Eastern Creek was fantastic fun - I've never driven it before and loved the way the V8's move around here ;D

I hope some more people will join us for the next round - Sandown was recently scratch built and is a very nice track

Yeah, I hope I don't get stuck in the pits this time!
