Technically Kazan Canyon works fine

Pitstop works great when you manage to conquer the kart track like entry and exit

From a builders perspective H.T. has shown all his prowess, I mean, what good is a blind, tightening downhill corner if it´s not OFF camber??

I suspect this will give a "banging" close race with a lot of drive throughs for " trading paint" and cutting track. ( no objection from here )

And for your info, the A.I.s do the famous T1cluster****(TM) beautyfully here.

From my side no objections, let´s hear the other partners in crime....

(thought I'd reply 'cos everyone's in bed)

Speak for yourself, valued friend, I´m working late tomorrow and just tried our track.

Also probably most of the others ( the younger guys) are just out partiing

 

[HF2000]

Hi Han, I would like to participate and have fun with all of you!!!

Stefano, if you have trouble registering via Emperor, let me know and I will help you.

 

[H_Belane]

It's going to be driven in Kazan, right? Great track! Count me in.

One question: recently I have a leaderboard at the bottom of my screen, from left to right. Does anyone know how to make that go away?

[thegreatradish]

I’ll be there

 

[RS242]

In!
Don't know what to think of the track yet, only had 3 laps so far.

if you use Vanilla AC Ui and Nvidia control panel, it is quite easy to look though for a erroneous setting that can cause you CPU or GPU to have big problems.
Perhaps not fully aware with a normal Kunos cars and tracks.
Once a third party track and or cars, skins are added this can cause you to think you suddenly have a problem, blaming the car or track.
Now I am fully invested into Content Manager, I have noticed a very extensive range of setting that can easily cripple the CPU or GPU.
I know that because this recently happened to me, finding the setting was a very long winded drawn out affaire.
Once found, it seemed obvious, but finding it was not easy.
Just a thought.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Well,

this Shazam Kazan track has it´s ups and downs for me

I´m honestly convinced that at the planning meeting someone asked:
"How can we F.... over the FWD guys most ferociously" and after that H.T. added "offcamber" to the mix.

It´s already painfull when you opted for "the real car"

I'm back from holiday and hoping to race this one (work permitting). I'm liking the track but the limits are a bit unfair in places.

I'd agree Douglas, I'm all for track limits, though here they're penalising 2 wheels out on 80% of the track, and mainly running wide which has rumble strips which are slower anyway

 

[Douglas Aird]

@HF2000 Han, are you using track limit penalties for this one?

 

[HF2000]

@HF2000 Han, are you using track limit penalties for this one?

Yes but if there are so many objections, I can turn it off.

 

[Douglas Aird]

Yes but if there are so many objections, I can turn it off.

Depends on what sort of race you want.

You have to be very careful in a lot of places to avoid an off track, it feels quite unfair as you can be well within the 2 wheels on track and still get an invalid lap.

Leaving the penalty on will mean some very careful driving but I could still see the potential for lots of people having issues, myself included.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

@HF2000,
Yes the track limits are so off the mark here, they ought to be disabled..

 

[HF2000]

Ok. I'll disable the penalty.

Alright, I’m looking for a new crew chief. My Jimmy just left. Angry, sad and frustrated. The more laps I did, the louder the yelling in my ears. So many track cuts, he never saw that before, Jimmy told me when he returned his gear. The shirt he handed to me was drenched with sweat. I think I saw his hands shaking and one eye lid showed signs of tremors. I really feel sad for him to end his career this way. He could have chosen to join the victory side, do some relaxed engineering with Fulvio or John or Allan, or other freakingly quick drivers. But nothing of that… Unfortunately for him, fate put him on my pitwall, suffering my bad laps and way too many track cuts on this track…

Anyway, if you see a bewildered man, walking around somewhere near the Kazan track, say Hi from Bouke and make sure to tell him I didn’t mean it to end this way….

See you guys Wednesday, hopefully I’ll find me a new Jim, not knowing who he’s teaming up with…

Poor Jimmer.
I'm very happy with Clare... ...and she has a twin sister... also called Clare.

 

[HF2000]

..and she has a twin sister... also called Clare.

Ah, that's very convenient!
