10 of us finished and I count 4th as ner win.  Too bad it wasn't raining anymore later.  Masochist! I made it as far as lap 23ish, which included a pit stop for a full 20,000 mile service and valet, then decided that I had had just about as much fun as a body could take. So I parked it in the pits and wandered off. |

Some say not but at only x2 it was difficult to say. It was dusk as we started and after an hour, when I had had enough, it was as black as the inside of your hat. A better test is required. You can test for yourself by hosting a race via the LOCAL NETWORK option on your PC. As I see it, it doesn't matter if anyone else joins. Hosting a race in this way appears to enable you to be the host and take part in the race as well. I will be testing this with some test sessions with Simon. This could be very handy when the UK server is on other duties. And thanks to admin for moving this thread to its proper location. I'll get it right one day, honest! |

A tough race, but enjoyable most of the time anyway. A tentative start and a few close shaves with spinners at Eau Rouge early on and I settled into the race. Had trouble keeping concentration (cos I'd been to the pub  ) and had a couple of silly spins which put me well down the field. Pitted late for fuel only and happy to finish 7th even if I had no headlights for the last lap. Congrats to Marco on his win and thanks for the invite  |

Glad you enjoyed it Tudor.
I removed one of my headlights on the rear of TT's car when he didn't move at the start. I struggled on as it got darker and darker and wanted to get as far as the pit stop so that I could see if two headlights made any difference. It didn't. They are like candles in jam jars.
And the ratbag who switched off the flood lights that were illuminating the big yellow drums on the approach to the chicane can't fight either!

It was dusk as we started and after an hour, when I had had enough, it was as black as the inside of your hat.
 I was driving without lights when I was on my own as the skidmarks on the tarmac were better visible than with the lights on. It was never really dark, not for me. I wonder about the discussion a few seasons back after the really dark Imola race - I think there are some graphics settings to make the night not as dark. Or is it just my imagination.  Anyway, I turned the lights on only 'cause I was in close proximity with other cars and might be dangerous the drive with lights off. Edit: I removed one of my headlights on the rear of TT's car when he didn't move at the start.
Well, I use auto-clutch and the car didn't move as fast but I didn't oversleep the start.  |

Hehe Clive was in hurry at start  Thx for joining the race. I had a nice battle with TT in the same tiger car (can you reveal your name or you're an ex Tito secret agent? , I live near Trieste ) for the first laps, but then I went a bit wide at Stavelot and he passed by. Ciao |

Having done a little test at x10 daylight acceleration I think that the answer must be no. |

Indeed I put a doubt about it when it was announced on Mara forum, but I had tried only in lobby session so couldn't negate about the LAN session. Ciao |

That's what I thought too so hence my eagerness to discover if some clever person had found/created a workaround.
ATMIT only Rfactor has this facility built in for multiplayer races.

Comming over for a beer? I prefer wine Never visited Ljubljana, I always wanted to go to the jazz festival, but actually never did. Maybe a chance to discover your name Ciao |
