I can't resist a challenge ;-) You're on then, I just changed to the SCG.

Not sure of the shadows, there's a "completely disable shadows" button in CM, but since you say you don't have it, not sure what to recommend.

I downloaded CM last night & when I selected the option to "completely disable shadows" I ended up with the entire track surface ahead of me cast in permanent shadow & the road behind, as seen from my mirror, appeared normal. To add to the unnatural effects, the cockpit of the car was getting plenty of sunlight

.

I noticed that the number of drivers signed up for this race is @ the point where my PC might begin to struggle. If that turns out to be the case, and I'm unable to stay the course, please accept my apologies for egging you on to drive the SCG. I didn't think that you would take me on

. If I'd have known that you were open to a challenge, I would've suggested this little beauty:

I appreciate something to spice it up, I'm taking it kind of seriously now

Hopefully you'll be able to stick around, would love to have you

Does the race server allow more typed of cars than the practice server? I cannot practice with the car I want because others are using them.

Just about to set up the race server now, and then your problem should be sorted

Chris Down · Aug 23, 2020

Race server #13 is being prepared, no more changes will be permitted.

The race server is now up with final car selection.

Hi Chris,
Put me in with the Z4. Finally got me a properly spec‘d out computer to run a race. Thx

We have an internet outage in our area. Bummed if cable service not up by race time. Hope to make it.

@VinillaIce82: hey, as per rules, please use your real name in TS and on the server

Well, was always going to be a challenge running low wing on the 911, and it bit me with snap oversteer through the middle on Ascari. Shame!

Sorry about the impromptu exit guys, but my VR headset just completely died out on me in qualy. I'm on the lookout for a new one. Hopefully, I can jump in another weekend soon before school starts becoming too much of a handful

Really enjoyed that race, thought i might even be on for my first top 10 was in 8th with not long to go but ended up tapping the back of @neesve so sorry about the contact just misjudged the braking point

it wasn't revenge for the earlier contact promise

was really enjoying the battle with you and @FischBoB
Still one of my favourite races on AC, haven't played it for nearly a month

Thanks for organising the event @Chris Down

VinillaIce82 · Aug 23, 2020

thanks for an exciting race guys! I realized afterward that someone had mentioned to me via TS that my mic was super loud....apologies!

I was wondering if there is a recording/replay of some sort where we can review the race? In hindsight i should probably have recorded the replay but i didn't...not a big deal, but I just wanted to review the incidents I had and see where I can do better. Cheers!

Chris Down · Aug 23, 2020

Well, obviously I'm a bit upset that I was robbed of the chance to try and get the win back from @Aksu by contact during blue flag, but still a good race from my perspective. Didn't make any mistakes, pace was good, and I think I more or less tamed the SCG. Also a great battle with Aki

Congrats @Aksu on the win, take care of my darling 650s
