I've just downloaded Silver City for the first time (I think I missed previous RD events here) and I've got to say that it's a gem in these cars. A beautiful track but also fun to drive, up there with Fat Alfie's masterpieces in my humble opinion. Going to be fun so get signed up if you haven't already!!

 

[gearwhine]

I have taken Richards advise and signed up for this race and realised straight away why i deleted the track off my system. I hate it. Anyway, going sideways is probably still better than sinking through the ground so i will try my best to hang on in there

 

[JamKart22]

It odd how opinion differs on a particular track. I like this too

Keep going and you'll love it!

 

[Programmer_Rich]

25m race but still with a mandatory pitstop, is that deliberate Colin or a typo?

Also I know it's been done before but why only reverse the top 5 rather than either the entire grid or even the top 10?!

 

[JamKart22]

Yup, pitstop a typo. I've reversed the whole grid for race 2. I might finally get to start on pole

 

[gearwhine]

No chance, i will be on pole in the 2nd race

There is a mistake in the setup. "Track Grip" should be 100%. But it's only 10%.

 

[JamKart22]

It's 100% when I look on the server. Why do you think it's 10%?

 

[Elmar3rd]

It's 100% when I look on the server. Why do you think it's 10%?

Sorry for the confusion. It was meant ironically. I fly off and crash into everything. A very difficult track for me with these classic cars and vintage tyres.

 

[JamKart22]

Lol, it does feel like there's no grip!

 

[Enzo Fazzi]

Lol, it does feel like there's no grip!

Sounds like I'll have to sign up then!
