so you guys setting laps today (including me) were using 1.14 version of the track? I haven't downloaded 1.15 yet and not sure Pete has for the server either.  unless 1.15 is just graphic improvements and doesn't affect the version number  Nice link to the Lotus Stefan Made me think, has this car got adjustable boost? I just ran it out the box so no idea what default boost setting is. Me-thinks we need a historics night for AC as well as modern stuff, there is so much good content for racing. |

1.15 just has some fix for flickering shadows and an improved ai line. And yes, this thing has an adjustable boost. 70% is usable for racing, doesn't damage the engine. Handy tip would be to have the boost adjustable buttons on the wheel, and crancking it up on the straights or when passing someone ( oldschool KERS ) Would be interesting to see how a battle in one of these would play out. Hoping for a good attendance for this race. Maybe advertise around at Core's? |

Did you put the engine limit on the max Maikel? Is there a useful setup for this car, as default seems horrible and needs a lot more wing to start?

Yep, engine limit to the max, doesn't seem to damage it. Only having the boost beyond 70% did. I took a setup from setupmarket. There is only one from the 1.12 version from Orpeq ( its from the monza 66 track, so some gearing tweaking needed ). Just added a wing or 2 for safety measures Probably needs alot more tweaking but its a good start. |

Should we try out the improved start feature for this race too? We haven't used it yet here and would like it in place before the next proper series . If Pete ticks it on the server we can do a few practise race starts online by skipping sessions. |
