That only applies if you already had it installed.. well, a while ago If you try to install the DLC now, it will finish within seconds, without downloading anything - and thus, without actually installing anything at all.

It's also a known problem (hence the disastrous reviews for the DLC), but S3S/SimBin doesn't seem to care about that DLC too much

Bringing up this topic again & retracting that bit I just quoted

It is actually possible to still install the Crowne Plaza DLC - instead of downloading/installing it normally, you have to click THIS LINK (and possibly allow your browser to redirect it to steam).
Steam will now queue anupdate for the DLC that you'll have start manually by selecting "Downloads" instead of "Games" next to the search bar in your steam library and then starting the download - it should now download & install as once intended

The races were both fun for me, had some nice fighting in the middle. Unfortunately I had a freeze too in race 1, all sound went away, a few seconds after it everything froze, and came back with max.volume scaring me, so I lost control. In race 2 I had another spin in Villeneuve, but it was just a mistake, I shifted too early.

Overall it was great fun, it felt really nice to race again! I'll try to do some more this year.

Thanks Dennis and RD for the event! And once more, happy new year to everyone!

 

[Carlos Ramos]

all the times I was laped and had a crash was because i tried to move to other line.
moving to a slower line means breaking early... then the fastest car hits me!! go see the replays....
most of times the cars laping me weren't fighting for position.
as soon as I got the blue flag, i moved to other line, nevertheless, it was needed to hit me...! I think forcing a laped car going to the grass when it was not needed is stupid.

R1 was great, had a battle with Yves in the first couple of laps. Shortly tried to defend against Dewald. After that, Björn started to put pressure on me, he was about half a second faster in the lower part of the track, whilst I was half a second faster going up and down the hill. I started getting a bit closer to April in the final couple of laps, although it wasn't enough. P3 was a great result to start off my simracing 2015!

R2, had a great start and managed to overtake a one or two cars even before T1. Followed the leading pack with Dennis, Reggie, Dewald and Björn? Managed to get closer pretty quickly because of the fighting up ahead and when I had a better exit than Dennis, my ISP gave up yet again.

Had a great evening though, just wish it would've lasted a bit longer!

 

[Campbell Wallis]

My PSU is mercifully intact, so I should be in for this.

[ajokay]

I'm up for this. My last race as a twenty-something!

 

[Campbell Wallis]

Is this Imola with or without the final chicane? I'd ideally like to know before I do a lap in practice.

It's the one with the chicane

 

[Rafael Kajstura]

BTW. It would be big pleasure to race the new version one day

 

[István Milbich]

Sign me up please

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

That was a great race after my holiday absence! Qualified fifth or so, and had a ton of close friendly racing in the first half of the race. Pitted for 2 right sides, but had a total of two stop and goes, so I needed to make three stops !! However, I was not the only one with such problems, others got them as well. Eventually raced my way to fourth and managed to hold Istvan Milbich off for the position.

Thank you everyone for the awesome racing I wish you all the best in this new year

 

[Campbell Wallis]

That was a bit of a write off. Had a silly spin at Aque Minerali on lap 1, undoing the progress I'd made by staying out of trouble. A few laps later, it all got a bit close with @Dennis Phelan and @Nuno Rodrigues, which led to me and Dennis tangling and me getting collected by @Reggie Blain Snr. I pitted as soon as the window opened to repair the fairly considerable suspension damage.

Later, I got a stop/go for staying perfectly within track limits at Tamburello, and clumsily hit a spun @Aleksander Pienkowski when my brain stopped working. In the end, I was chasing Reggie Snr, and I came very close to passing him when he had to serve a stop/go of his own. Another lap and I probably would've got past, but in the end he beat me by about a second.

Another great grid, another great race, thanks for racing, everyone!

I had only put in a 4-5 laps yesterday in order to figure out fuel so when I went onto the server, tyres, gears and overall handling were still waiting to be taken care of - oh my was I feeling uncomfortable for the first few laps
However, I got quicker and quicker, and while I didn't quite reach the times of @Aaron Channer and @Reggie Blain (as usual ), I was pretty happy and managed to carry the speed into qualifying - P3, with @István Milbich and @Nelson Ullinskey lurking behind me.

A good start helped me defend 3rd place, but it took an early spin from Aaron into T3 to gain a position.

Both Reggie and I had to take a small detour in the aftermath, so Istvan and the rest of the pack got reaaally close going into Tosa/T7.
Having the inside, however, I got by Reggie and took the lead.

Istvan got by him, as well, but soon enough, Mr. Blain was back in P2 and chasing me down mercilessly. I did him (and possibly myself, as well, saving seconds to be lost in a fight?) a favour by spinning out going into Acque Minerali and off he was - fortunately, I didn't lose any further positions.

It's not like my race turned boring now, though - due to nobody holding him off, @Arunas Linkevicius got into P3 and closed in on me quickly However, he didn't quite manage to close the gap entirely, so it was me pitting at half time that did the trick.

While he went on, I got out directly behind Istvan and @Thomas Alderton, who were now in P4/P3 respectively. However, both went in for their stops right afterwards and carrying enough speed out of the final turn, I was fairly happy to get by Arunas, who also pitted, again

Uuuuunfortunately for me, our fight turned out to be all to short, as I went for a re-enactement of my previous T9 mishap - but once again, I didn't lose too much time, so there still was hope...
or was there? With my tyres getting worn, another off in Piratelly/T8 broke my suspension and my hopes.

But then I got live coverage from around the start/finish area that Arunas had gone into pits to serve a SnG penalty - P2 was possible again, and indeed, I juuust got by him when he went out again!
We had a really nice last-minute fight, and taking the inside line throughout most of the last lap, I managed to keep him behind me - nice stuff!

See you at Riverside, guys!

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Action filled and fun packed are a couple of ways to talk about today's event. No doubt there are those wishing Simbin had never put this track in the locations folder. It is a fun track to drive but the marshalling of corners could be a bit better for sure. Sigh, it's just too bad that in the later version the cut penalties are the same, no changes.

My well tuned Mini had a proper fit but is limited by the hands and feet that push it around, I could do my best time but once again no improvement by making changes to the car. I ended up with a decent !ap in Q and was all ready for the race as in all the practice I hadn't picked up too many cuts, practice, practice, practice, aim for the track not the curbs!

I was overly cautious at the start and ended up crawling thru the fist chicane in last or so. Tragedy struck a few on the opening lap and I took advantage when I could but on L2 I got all wriggly at Aqua Mineralli and was forced to take a big cut. Only a lap or so later I came up on Campbell and nudged him around at Piratella and hoped I could straighten him out by moving up to his front fender and pushing but it was to no avail and he spun and we both lost many places. Most of the rest of the drive was pacing,and listening to those calling out SnG's while I tried to stay clean. A pit for all four tires followed by a second cut warning as I took my attention away from racing while at Aqua Mineralli once again. More SnG's by others changed my situation and for a bit brought racing ack into the game with Aaron and Thomas battling behind me but catching more SnG's along the way. Lucky for me I avoided the third cut and made it "safely" home.

Boy, TS was really fun today guys, even though there was no commentary the chat provided a good idea of what was happening. Good numbers too!

 

[Aaron Channer]

I've never had a race with so many stop n go's, not sure whether it was the wine or damage to my car after L1 T3. Either way, only myself to blame, but my.. what a load of fun.
Club events on RD are awesome! See you all next week at the new track.
