UKAC Season 1 BPR GT - Hockenheim - May 25

[ChrisR]

When we have the server up for practise.. Have it open, so no password.. Then on the welcome screen just have some text saying we are racing this combo wednesday night, please register etc etc.. If you want to race with us.

Good idea Chris, can this welcome message be setup in the acServerManager? If so I can't see where  I can see a WELCOME_MESSAGE line in the server config file so obviously something can be setup.

Yea, you have to write a notepad file then use acsm and point to it.

That seems like a fine idea to me. There surely must be potential for a 10+ grid on a Wednesday night.

These old eyes are going blind, found the bit in acsm now  Thanks

Good to see there is some support here still  but could do with you all on the grid!

Regarding advertising elsewhere, I often do but it gets poor return despite the amount of viewings. I think I drew in about 4 new guys during the E30 series and fun race spell late last year but without regular good grids they just disappear again.
Several sroukers are also racing regularly at Core at present so guess they can't/won't do two races a week. 

With regards BPR or GT racing, I and others felt that gt3 was covered well elsewhere with big grids and had been almost done to death hence why trying to offer new events here using some of the great cars that AC has to offer that hardly get used. Seems I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't, so may as well run the last 3 rounds of the BPR Series then do my Gt3 Blancpain series.

As mentioned earlier, I'm away next week so needs one of you to sort a fun race as a stop gap or you can all practise the McLaren at Spa

As ChrisR has said last night I was late home and very tired, normally I have a go with most cars, find them a challenge. As you may know I also participate on a Sunday at Core but not in the present series as I find the car not up to Kunos standard. Next series there looks more appealing. Will be back next Wed whatever the combo cheers Bob.

I do like these sort of cars (Although Chris needs some ballast adding I think  ) but just to throw a spanner into the works would struggle with Sunday nights due to GPL.

I thought last night's race was great fun - at least until Chris turned up the boost/his own pace and passed me again once I made a mistake.
I'm still struggling with how to setup some cars in AC, it kind of annoys me as I can get close to WR times in some of the GPL cars on my own setups
Never mind, at the end of the day there is always someone to race, and this would only be more true with bigger grids.

well we all have Chris' F1-GTR set up now so no excuses for Spa  

Just about to try it out for myself  

Edit: tried it, loved it  just made a small tweak to Chris' tyre pressures for Spa and lengthened the gears. Nice and stable and still quick. Definitely race-able without alien skills.
