a chance to try these feisty little cars out  :)

I think I actually prefer the Caterham Academy cars as more pure to the Caterhams that we all know, and they are manual H-Shifts, but these are quicker for sure albeit with paddle shifts (which seems alien in a caterham to me!  :P )

(to Pete, decent track temps please or the tyres may stay too cold for such light cars).

Rift users will love the open cockpit views all round  :)

I won't have the option to do any laps until race night probably so I've no way to check. What ambient / track temps are good?

For now you should have track temp between 31 and 35 deg C

This temperatures are OK Pete  :) Just checked in server in some laps. All tyres becomes green. The car is still wip, but fun to drive. Something strange setup values here but ok for fun race.  :) 

Won't be able to race this one sadly. Hoping it turns out to be a fun car.
Good luck to those who are racing.

Hi guys! How are you?  :)
BTW Just tryed a full grig test race with AI on this cars and was wondered to see only 25 fps here, when i usually has 60..
During race fps rising up to 45. Be warned about it in tomorrow's race  :-\
Mod is very fun to drive but not optimized for races at all for a long time...

i never felt any noticeable drop in fps when i ran a grid of 15 cars  ??? I've got a decent rig but its 3 years old now so not cutting edge  ;)

Looking forward to trying these tonight  ;D

I'll load up an AI race and see what the fps do...

I like these very much  :thumbup1:
but..... even with the bias set fully rear, it locks the fronts for fun., and My tyres are blue all the time
even after somelaps.

Bad surpirse for me. Yestarday my PC power supplay was dead.. 700 watts... Was working approx10 years. RIP and thanks him for very good work. I am crying , tryed to repair it last night with no sucess. Now i am in in spare PSU with low power. So, i cant drive tonight, need to get proper PSU. Sorry. I'll return when i can. Have a nice race, guys!

Ooh, I'd better get downloading this mod then!

must admit i havent had time for a single lap of practise, will have to learn on the fly tonight.

As for cold tyres, think you need to make them work harder on such a light car. Increase camber, adjust toe and scrub them more in the corners.

Lovely car I must say (not surpriced thb, it's Caterham), I'm ready to whole series with these anytime anywhere.

After tonights races with Mr FMG,  I concur  ;D

that was quite a hoot considering the low numbers  :)  Had lots of close fun racing, dicing either side of another car, great fun  :fencing: The open-cockpit view is ace for close racing.

Alexey was right, there is an fps hit with these (strange I didn't notice it in an AI race) so a bigger grid might have turned into a stutter fest. Though not as fast as these 420R's you should give the Caterham academy mod a try, the racing would be even more intense.

Maybe i'll run another fun race using them at Cadwell park  :)

We could always try the new Anglesea - it's VERY good  ;)

Tonight's two races were bonkers, I've got a screen grab of the finish in race 2. I've only ever seen one race finish closer in real motorsports, and that was NASCAR  ;D

Can someone upload race 1 replay please, for some reason it doesn't save.

Not a bad gap given that the passing move started 3 laps earlier ;D
(And still wasn't finished if we're being honest :fencing:

I did test a race with the AI and had some lower fps than normal too  :(    I'll try that academy car one day soon...



PM'd you a link  ;)

and a little video from me, showing the last few laps of race1 -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCQmAIPqXJk  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCQmAIPqXJk)

 :punk:

Very cool. Reminds me of my years running in a LFS league with their LX4 and LX6 cars  :)

i didnt have a clue who i was racing against last night. Stracker wasnt working and there are no car labels with the rift so it was a bit blind battle with whoever. I enjoyed a good fight with stars and stripes and a yellow car (amongst others) over both races  :P

Got stitched up in race 2 by the black and turqoise car that dived up the inside of me at paddock then realised he was heading for the gravel so he dabbed the brake mid corner which forced me into hitting the anchors to avoid him and i got mugged by two other cars!  :taz:  good fun though  ;D

Im not here next wedsnesday so you guys will have to sort your own race out or take a sabbatical until the Spa classic race the week after  :euro:

black and turqoise car = me  ;D

Yellow was Kimi

Stars and Stripes was the shark guy




I'm good with a week off next week, as much as I enjoy the racing sometimes a little break is good...
