A message to all Drivers
If you run off track, you have to check and see that its clear before you re-enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.
When entering the track from the pits stay off the racing line until you are up to speed and do not race on your out lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.
Golden Rule

Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Oh man this is awesome. Just a scorcher of a lap. Really tugs at my heart strings. I miss seeing Michael so bad

You're both in. Kamil, you can race in any event we organize except Leagues. Those you have to sign up for prior to the league starting. The biggest difference between EU and US races is the time zones are designed around each continents time zones. You join us any time you fell like it

Thank you Nicolas for taking care of Kamil. Yet another day in the Overlords lair and I'm not getting my notifications

Shouldn't I have a little pull or something

Wait, don't answer that. I feel like it's an open invitation to put me in my place

This car is a monster, so much grip. Had a quick practice yesterday, default setup seems solid. Just wondering whether more down-force would be a good idea?

I've managed a Edit: BP on medium tires, is that quick enough?

No laptimes in race threads, I'll just say (before Bobby edits your post), thats rather quick if you haven't driven them a lot

But you can try both increasing and decreasing wings and find out which work better for you. I ran couple of laps yesterday 13-18 wings seemed to be decently fast

I didn't post a lap time......as you can clearly see haha. First time driving it, I'm a fan of F1 games though. I tend to be quicker in open wheelers, maybe the years of playing Indycar and all the F1 games out there are paying off. Not only that, I'm a fan of the track.

Hopefully I won't be too far off the pace.

Have you touched anything else in the settings? Possibly thinking in the slip stream the gears might need a tweak.
