Weekly Fun Races

But when you select the skin before hand, you mean you need to go and do some offline practise in the skin beforehand and then it remembers it? I'm sure aa number of times it didnt work and gave me a different one.

No need to do offline practice, just select your car and skin in practice mode. Only in pick-up mode you can't chose your skin. I always got my choice of skin in booking mode and only the wrong one if I didn't have it selected beforehand.

What is practise mode then? sorry, confused.

No worries, I can understand that it can be confusing. Especially when it's a Dutch guy trying to explain it in English 
I actually just mean anywhere you can select the car skin.

Ok thanks

That was what i meant by offline practise for the first one, but i have to say, i hadnt noticed anywhere to choose a car, when going online, the second one. Hmm, will have to be more observant next time!

Is Chris not expecting you to be doing it this week? lol

[ChrisR]

sorry guys, ive been really busy with work and stuff.. ive just not had time to do half of the stuff ive meant to and i've forgotten about the other half lol

mark, you are welcome but in for tomorrow but i just dont have any time to do this atm..

[Mark J]

Lol, err right then, as it's nearly 11pm and leaves only one more eve for any praccy, how about we use some new content  :-

Rs1600's At Brands Hatch 

Or Lotus 72's at Brands Hatch 

I'm happy with either, guess the escorts will be more fun for close racing,  and require less taming. If anyone's got the spare time tomorrow and could work out a lap count for either for a 30min race, that would be useful (I'll be at work)

[spanner]

Might want to check with Picnic that the server has the new content.

Wont be able to get on for practise till late tommorow anyway.

DP3 is on the server, sadly I'll not any chance to run AC before race night.

[Stefan aka Postal]

Hi chaps, all the best for 2016!

Considering the limited time i would go with something a little easier. When the DLC3 came out i did some online laps on Brands with the Escort, it was a very nice combo, quite straightforward. Should provide some good racing. Can't remember my laptimes though.. Will see if i can turn some laps tonight or to have a look if i can see race stats anywhere in AC.

Edit: the wr at RSR stands at a 1.41sec and i noticed one of the NoGrip lads wich who i raced before they killed their AC races did a 1.47sec. So expect the laptimes between these times for Brands GP, but more towards the latter mark.

Or something like the Abarth 500 Corsa @ Zandvoort? Should also provide some door to door action.

[Jester]

If you know what car/track you want to do, let me know and I can set up a practice server today.

[Mark J]

Cheers Erik, postal and Pete.

Escort RS1600 at Brands it is then. I tried the combo briefly over Xmas and it was a hoot 

[picnic]

I assume this will be the GP rather than Indy variant?

[Mark J]

Erm, don't want to beast anyone but it's now Sunday again and no race announcement for this Wednesday 
It's not healthy for the continuity of racing here to never have a race planned, any potential new drivers dipping in will just head elsewhere in their search for racing and even regulars will migrate. 

In lieu of no announcement by Chris, how about trying some cars we hardly use? I'm thinking Sauber C9, either on its own or in a nice group C bash with the Mazda 787 at somewhere like Spa or Silverstone  or the Lotus 72, again either on its own or v the F312 
Or we could use them next week so that everyone gets a chance for practise  and run something quicker to get to grips with this week...escorts again at zaandvort this time?

The racing world is our oyster 

[Animal Ed]

As long as it is H shifter car and "serious" track, I`m in.

Btw - mazda is much faster than C9 so, for that combo you may consider some weight penalty or really low damage for C9 to be able using higher turbo boost.
