Note2: These are really fun, very simple to drive cars. They are low powered, very chuckable little cars that work very well on short courses. We will be running 2 short races per track in this testing event (a total of 4 short races), and using a 2 lap quali session to keep things nice and fresh. We will only run a 15 min practice session before race1.

when will they get round to decimalising the week, 7 days is not long enough i need at least a 10 day week

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I'll wait for some extree clarification before I take that as a sign up, especially as it's same time as the Evo Minis

yep tis best, if Fuxton posts a 3 track event which usually end up in a crash fest then i`ll defo sign up for this. but i`ll have a blast in em later and you never now :wink2:

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

Yes please

I just love the concept of Formula Vee racing. Cheap, simple, fun cars. Looking forward to this test:good:

 

[Will Roberts]

Count me in, I tried um and they rock. Niether have been updated in about the past week have they? Pembrey and the Vees that is.

 

[Nigel Atkins]

not really taken with these, can`t get any feeling in the steering and FFB is zero

No - all 'as is' in the downloads

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Slight venue change - found an invisible wall @ Pembrey.

Switching to Northampton Sports Car Challenge (Silverstone Club)

2 Default tracks, so no downloading beyond the mod itself.

Nige - for future ref, buy the ffb upgrade (free) and change the value in the RealFeel ini file to 200%

i did look for a realfeel upgrade in the upgrades section, but can only remember seeing FFB low, med and high settings which didnt help. i`ll look again tomorrow :good:

ps. good news about the track change, that one seemed very dark and dreary

 

[Will Roberts]

aw, I had downloaded pembery a few days ago and was thinking hey! I have a non offline use for this but I guess not, oh well I've spent a million hours on Silverstone Club on Forza 1 so I know every inch Can'y wait anyway.

 

[Tim Ling]

Go on then Stuart. The mini's are a bit too competitive for my skills at the moment, so I'll give this a go.

 

[Tim Ling]

These are fun. Slow, but fun Tail happy too

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

Just did some testing on the two tracks. I couldn't stop driving:lol:

Great fun for sure and very nice tracks.

I started out with default ffb and gradually modified it based on Stuart's dead-zone file and Warren's ffb settings for GTLegends. Did some final adjustments to get some grip-fade when understeering.
The ffb settings are attached below (make sure to backup if you want to try it out)

 

[Tim Ling]

is Toban the short reversed Stu?

 

[Stuart Thomson]

As far as I know it's the default short course, Tim, no reversals that I'm aware of, but I don't know the track naming convention that well in rF.

It's the one below that runs clockwise. (I'm hoping that's the standard one)

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Actually, I had an online race in these last night elsewhere - mad fun :good:
