UKAC TCR Series - Silverstone - Round 3 Oct 10

[Mark J]

keep the mud-slinging for the incident reports guys. We dont need public slanging matches, it just causes ill feeling, we are all here for the close racing fun, just some cant control their killer instinct on lap 1 it seems.

Maybe 100% damage is the way to go for these cars it might make some of the rear end contacts less frequent.    The problem is once you are spun out by someone you have hardly any chance of re-closing on the pack unless they have their own incidents.
I thought at this track at least you could all give each other more room!  Its meant for Lancaster Bombers!!

Rules extract

Under no circumstances should drivers engage in discussion of incidents in a public forum (including in-game chat). In particular, no attempt should be made to apportion blame.
A brief mention of an incident may be made in a public race report.

Might have joined as I like this series, but the event was not showing up in the org.uk list
only the Aussie rules one.

shame you missed it Matt, sounds like you had filters on for your lobby search, a few people get caught out by that

problems logging onto the server as usual. taken me 33 minutes to log on.

takes about 5 mins to log in, then I get random error messages of 'server not available' when I venture out on track or I get out on track and my Logitech G27 is restricted to 360 degrees rotation which I find almost undriveable. can take up to six or seven attempts some times. Does anyone else have this problem?

I am now logged on, but the race has started, if I wait till the first race has finished, will the game let me start the second race?

must be your internet connection as logging on is pretty instant other than loading the track and cars. Are you using wireless? Sounds like it might be dropping in and out or 'packeting' (i think its called?)   
Your steering wheel needs to be configured via the windows controllers menu, sounds like you havent set full rotation. Failing that, you need to calibrate it in AC Controllers, even if you have done it in the past. Some windows or AC updates knock it out of kilter.
And yes if you are in the race logged on, you can sit out race 1 and wait for race 2.

May I ask what the highlighted in green fields in the result table mean?  

@SRW I saw that you had a ping over 1440, maybe that caused your problems?

btw: The qualifying positions for Race 2 are wrong again

Fastest lap in class. For some reason the Leon's not been added to the TCR car class. Not sure if it's something I can do, I'll look.

not sure I have done anything to AC. I search for org.uk and it usually shows any of our sessions.
last night it showed the Aussie series, but not this one, I restarted AC twice and still this event
didn't show up. If I need to change something please advise?

Im still un-decided on best brake bias for these. I think being able to adjust it in race is best but i find that impossible using a Rift as you cant see any controls or even your own wheel whilst using it.
Race 1 i set it at 74% and it was definitely better for putting weight transfer over the front wheels and braking deeper but i found once the front left tyre wore down, braking became awful with it set that far forwards. Ideally i would have moved the bias back as the front tyres wore out.
Race 2 i set it at 69% and i was able to maintain decent pace the whole race with more measured braking (apart from my lap1 cold brake throw off!)
@fmg or other VR users, are you adjusting brake bias using a rift?..if so, how?

not sure tbh, i always type in simracing.org in the lobby and never had a problem.

I'm using the sequential shifter I made for the V8's

I've got a rotary control on my Fanatec wheel.

[FullMetalGasket]

What wheel do you use Mark?
