Server doesn't need the skin pack but you can only race on the server in your chosen skin when in booking mode, with pick-up mode (i.e. when server is set for practice) you get allocated skins in the order they were enabled on the server I believe.

Where are the shared setups? I can't even drive a lap in 6th gear without over heating the tyres and crashing out!

Thanks Jeff - I found someone's Mugello setup online and that's got me at least able to complete laps but only at 1:58/59 pace. If I look at the throttle tyres have over heated and I'm off. Not exactly racing  I'll give your's a blast now. |

Gave it a shot, but seeing that this car is the "most enjoyable" of the 3, and I already hated this thing, I won't be doing the others races. That in combination of the tiny grids makes it so boring and a waste of time. AC is completely dead here for some reason.

Thought I would give these ago, only had about half hour practice before the race. Every time I tried to push, the tyres would overheat within a lap. Sorry to who ever I ran into the back of at the end, I think it was Mark. I missed my braking point. I May give these ago again, but will need to try and find some time to practice off line first.
Is there a reason why we seem to avoid racing the GT3's in AC on a Wednesday night. I think they are the best cars in AC, and they have the new generation of cars such as the new benz and Maclaren as well as the Lamborghini Huracan.

Nice shots Chris. I had a mare of a race Praccy went fine and I matched my pb of 1:50.2 so thought okay I've got a shout of 4th or 5th in the race...hmm. Qually was a series of errors. Tried softs and couldn't make them last for 2 laps. Tried higher psi as per the app but kept locking up and Finally set a time only good enough for 8th on grid nowhere near my pb. Race started well, enjoying chasing Bob around once Pete got on a slippery kerb. However I started locking up my fronts almost continuously behind Bob and they turned into 50 pence pieces until I totally flat spotted them stepping out of the tow into t1 braking :'( from then on the car was a disaster and I slipped further back finishing a duff 8th place and not able to race anyone with red wear status on both fronts. I hadn't locked my fronts once in any practise session! Well done to the podium F40's (not S3) at Brands GP next week folks, should be a great combo  |

I will try the F40 next week but last night's car was just too hard for those with a lack of ability. The razor knife edge of tyre temps, going over the top at the slightest slide, makes the car, for me, simply undrivable. This means it's not racing, it's just survival and that's not fun. The penalty for one small slide is too severe. A big shout out to Jeff for sharing a setup that at least got me within 107% of pole. I suspect I'll need a helpful setup for the F40 as well, if someone would be so kind to share one I'd appreciate it. Not having time to practice and being a numpty with setup isn't helping me with these races. Well done all you aliens  |
