After much testing, I'm no nearer picking a new motor. Just gonna roll with the Spyker for this and roll the dice between Morgan and Exige (which are very well matched around here at least) during Crimbo break. The thought of trying the Exige in the scheduled forecast was undeniably a factor in that decision |

Question about the weather. Are we using a minimum temp? If so what is it? I am assuming that we are not going to race with -4C.  Sorry if this has been mentioned else where. Any chance of updating the server with current weather settings? Thanks. |

Are we using a minimum temp? If so what is it? I am assuming that we are not going to race with -4C. The default minimum is 10, which would result in an initial setting of 15 and a maximim of 20. If you click the "Generate Weather" link at the top you can see for yourself. |

When the "Generate Weather" button says to set condition for "Heavy Snow" does this mean we will most likely get a monsoon wet race?

I too am confused over the weather  Whatever it does i have struggled to find a setup to get the Aston really hooked up here , so maybe rain will be my friend again... I'm hoping my connection is ok tonight as my ISP has had issues in my area this week and my internet has been very slow or even non existant for parts of the week. Hoopefully it will hold on for the hour or so i need it to tonight! |

Looking at the forecast, I'm expecting a difficult and unpredictable race tonight. Tyre selection could be very tricky for the Aston. If it rains then safely overtaking GTC's will also need a lot of care. |

Race Start Time: 19:00 (into the night race)
My I take this opportunity to therefore re-iterate turning down at the very least headlights to LOW in graphics options, especially for those with rigs that can't run more than 30fps at night in the rain!! The headlight option is the single biggest killer of FPS when using headlights. Next up would be shadows (turn them down), then special effects and reflections. Remember, if you are running low FPS you affect everyone, either by warping or slowing the game server software down cause it's slowing down the response to/from your client! |

Joined the server a few times, each time the other cars disappeared after a few minutes. So i'm out for tonight  Thats 2 times in 3 weeks my ISP has cost me the chance to race. Good job they have been rock solid in the past for me. They said it should be fixed on tuesday so i hope to be back after the break with no issues, otherwise i will be accessing my options. Have fun guys  |

That was going to be the only wet race i'd enjoyed until all of a sudden i lost connection just after half way. I had about 65L left which would have meant an off chance of carrying on till the end after an early stop to fill up and swop onto inters after starting on soft/hard wets. These were working brilliantly and brought me up into the top 10 so was anticipating a decent finish |

How could I have failed so miserably after getting pole? Sorry to just about everyone for getting in their way. I should have hit esc the first time I spun as I was too close for comfort to hitting the drivers behind me. Very big sorry to TT as well. Wrong tyres at the wrong times. In the end the car seemed to spin and under steer massively, but only on the 2nd gear corners. Very tough race. Well done to all that make it to the end. |

I've always said I don't like the weather thingy and tonight hasn't changed my mind. Adds to the fun? Adds to the racing? Spent race avoiding spinners, clattering my teamy (so sorry JPV) and then crashing out after doing something daft. That would be a no on both counts for me then, ha ho (ho, ho, ho) Congrats to all the finishers. Happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you all in 2010 |
