*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

We are at Sandown this weekend for the start of the 'Season of Endurance'. A good chance to get a practice run in these cars if you are thinking of having a go at the following round at Bathurst!

The practice server is up and running!  :)

We are still slightly adrift from our quarterly target, so if you haven't contributed yet, please don't forget to do so  :helpsmilie:

Practice server is back up and running for tomorrow nights race!

For a such a basic track layout its still pretty tough if just to work out braking points!

Must be just trying to carry too much speed as i am struggling at such slow speed and understeer too much especially in the final chicane. Never got the front working well at all. Tried increasing and decrasing springs from my default but softer always feels better but alot of roll.

Any setup tips would be appreciated, i normally just go with the default setup, but struggling with the kerbs here

Since FMG posted his nissan setup up i've been using that for the last few events which have transformed my ability to drive it! By default it felt quite stiff which also meant not much mechanical grip i.e the tyres felt like they werent in contact with the road and so making braking and turning harder than it should. I still have to have the brake pressure down to 85% as the car still just locks up way too easily.

From what i remember the main thing was the springs where down around 85 and 66 N/mm front and rear with the arb increased some to help limit the rolling.

I can try and save mine on the server.
 

The download link of the cars is now 2.5 and makes it impossible to join.

I had the same problem. FMG gave me a link for old version:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d6kfpgno5m1ytdn/V8s.rar?dl=0

That's the link I used to join the server, but it was quite hidden and it will prevent new people from joining. Thanks for the link, maybe use this in the opening post, or upgrade to 2.5?

We have been racing this for 5months plenty of time for people to download and try out!

Looks like they have updated the website recently as well.

Any ideas whats changed to go to 2.5?

That's the right mentality if you don't want the grids to grow  ::)

Exactly!

 ;D giving it a go tonight have the old version installed if running new version please give good notice so can install that. :thumbup2:

Can't make this one as I will be crawling down the M6. might get back in time Weds depending
on how long it takes to escape from Birmingham's gravity well.

never really felt comfortable on this circuit, couldn't get any confidence over the unforgiving kerbs and very narrow track in places. but it is good to race on these circuits which have a big following in real life.

on to the big one next time before the xmas break in the series....BATHURST

I like this track way better than Eastern Creek i have to admit. Good that FMG gave all of us a head start, as he is in a league of his own with these cars!
And too bad Mark had a small spin as it was shaping up to be a three way fight. Nice.

Had a good pit stop and re-entered the track in front of FMG again, but i could not fend him off for too long. Than i spotted a Nissan in the grass with a lap or 4 to go. It was hard to keep cool as my rears where not in the best shape anymore. It looked like FMG did a coulple of qualifier laps to get me back. The race was just one turn too short for him. ::)

See you guys at Bathurst. Hopefully we can welcome Jeffrey and Fabri there too!
And Frex, where are you mate? You where doing great in this series. Hope to see you back soon.

Was enjoying following Stefan and then FMG got past that but in the last few corners i was getting really stressed as i think i was close to hitting FMG as i was carrying more speed in so was focused more on gauging the distance to him rather than paying attention to driving so sspun out from the last corner. Still was nice to attack a track like this.
