Title: UKAC Season 17 - Spa Xtra Fun - Apr 28
Post by: FullMetalGasket on April 22, 2021, 06:16:13 PM +0100
Well, I promised an F1 themed fun race - well the emphasis is on fun this time  ;)

We will be driving that most renowned product of F1 powerhouse Ligier - the JS8.
As the original only has a 125cc motor and a moped gearbox though we'll run the S1 version with a 6 speed sequential and whopping 25Hp :o

Despite the sequential you'll need to lift on shifts, although the clutch is unnecessary.
They're easy to drive, but hard to push consistantly - therefore you can expect plenty of passing action throughout the 2 14 minute races.

Oh, and we're on the GPK Spa just to make things even more interesting ;)

I am on holiday next week. I agree Tim, with these you should have a lot of action during the race. Funny stuff.

This is actually great fun. I can't get it serious and work on the lap. Sliding all around is better. Yes, it's a dogbox, but the combo of "car" and track it's awesome.

Server down ?

It's up but it doesn't show in the list. I connect using CM (I have the server in my favourites).

I think something weird had happened to the server - I've just restarted it as I couldn't find it even with CM.
Now it's appearing fine in the normal AC launcher :)

Thank you Tim.

This event idea is so fun that I couldn't dislike it ! After all, it's a classic car...  ::) More or less.. :D

I downloaded everything, but I can't promise I'll manage to join this race. I hope so :)

In case, we'll see later :)

These boxes were tons of fun and drifting.
With a bigger grid would be a lot of fun indeed.

Still don't understand why in FP I had 30 ping and then at the start of quali 130... a bit weird. :-\
