This is a test race to try out a new car for potential future series, this particular one (Skoda Octavia Cup) has been recommended by KDiesel.

Server is up and running - please note it is setup with the extended layout, we will be using the 'Classic' version for the race on Sunday. I will amend the server tonight

It appears this car does not have a clutch as it has DSG gearbox, so any tips on the best way to get it off the start. Does it have launch control?

Revs up and put it in gear when it's time to launch, I gotta do that every time with 2 pedal system. Haven't even try that car yet tho...

Had a few laps in the skoda and although I usually hate fwd in sims this one doesn't handle that bad at all. That said, I certainly wouldn't want to do a season with it but hope to join you Sunday.

How about trying rFactor 2 here? The base game is cheap enough if you don't already have it and some of the free mods are fantastic. For instance, Enduracers mod includes GTE, GTC, P2 and P3 classes which drive far better than anything AC or Raceroom has to offer. I can't find another league that's regularly racing it either unlike AC, ACC, Raceroom.

I would be happy to do RF2, I initially steered clear of RF2 as I hated RF1, but I have done some of the Tuesday RF2 races at SRO and liked the sim a lot (the default FFB is very nice). I will ask Picnic if it is possible for us to run an RF2 server.

Rf2 looks horrible... I think Steam records me as driving it for 0.5h Even AC is better than Rfactor.

It's been on and off (mostly off) my HD since I bought it at release. Recently I decided to give it a proper run and I must admit it took me ages of trial and error to tweak it to where I'm now happy. Visuals are now at least as good as AC and I find driving immersion is now far superior. I have to pick and choose my way through content but for GT/sports cars both modern and historic there's enough to keep me happy. Some great classic open wheel content too.

If there's any interest I'll put a quick settings guide up.

I will probably be back late from Brands, weather looks rubbish as well so traffic will be hell.
