Test race - Ford Vs Alfa



April 22nd - Password entry (on day of race)

This will hopefully be our final fun/test race before kicking off my first season. I now know what I'm doing with the server and just need a series to check I know what I'm doing with LM2.
With that in mind the recent release of the GTam on race department and it's being BoP'ed with the Ford Escort make for a perfect test series.
This race is to test that theory (I'm getting near identical lap times here with some work on the setups, again each car has some nice variations in handling)



If successful I intend to run a first season using this combo over 4 rounds (if they're very popular we can always revisit)

To spice things up I've swapped out all of the tires for part worns, and extended the race to 45 minutes so we have to stop for a change at some point - the server will be set with a pit window starting 5 minutes into the race and ending 40 minutes into the race. This is probably not needed as I'll be fairly amazed if anyone would have a masochistic streak big enough to do the entire race on the same set!
For the series I might keep the tire wear but remove the mandatory pit in order to allow a spot of gamesmanship and outside the box tactics (I'll need to test that idea out further first).

Practice: 19:30 (45 mins)

What does "BoP" mean plz ? 

Love that screen shot in 1st post 

This sounds a cool selection 

No one is going to take the Escort i am guessing...

Hello everyone,

the game doesn't load the car , i've triend to download the Gtam file again but couldn't figure out the problem, any idea?

Regards

Lorenzo

Hi Tim, yes, i put the files in that folder, everything seems correct, actually i can see the car on the Ac menu, but once i start a driving the game doesn't load the car and take me back to the menu

Try the same car but on a standard Kunos track - as Frex says it might not be the car.
If your folder structure looks like mine it should work perfectly..

Just tried the GTAm a couple laps.

Good sounds, quite nice handling I think (may need some setup tweaks though in my hands), but there is a problem regarding the FFB with my settings : a bit of clipping, and it looks like it lacks some info somewhere or something. Don't get me wrong, I like this mod, but would need a bit of tweaks here. I will pick the Ford if I can show up.
