RD Mazda MX5 Cup 2016

[TobiasR]

Looks like we're filling the grid up. However, people are welcome to continue signing up, as the grid will be determined via the racing club attendence (somewhat).

I gotta do some stress testing and see how the extra grid slot tracks fare performance wise.

BumbleBee inspired livery (flight of the bumblebee, the autobot, and the actual insect):

PSD Zip for V1.1 is here:

V1.1 PSD layers are fixed (according to Gimp) and the color has been orangered. I edit PSDs on my Note 4 using LayerPaint HD and often forget that it doesn't export clipping/mask layers correctly.

All the graphics are in layers that can be hidden/adjusted.

Entry list updated, now with priority to AC club regulars. There's still time until the season starts, so if you haven't yet, jump into our Monday night event to test the waters.

Btw.: Is this car some tenth faster with H-shifter ?
Unfortunately I'm using a DFGT right now (love the wheel more than my G25, though the DFGT is a bit weak on motor strenght), which has no clutch pedal and H-shifter .
So that bothers me atm. a little bit. (I thought the MX-5 has seq. paddle shifting in real as well. Maybe it does have.., but still a tad slower in gearchange compared to skilled H-shifter + clutch users.)

It's H-Shifter in real life. Yeah, I'd expect to be a bit quicker with a shifter than with flappy paddle. Not sure how much because I've never tested it...

 

[Marco Waechter]

Depends on the amount of upshifts per track (lap), simply (& mainly) .
(Not too much of a difference though at this car gladly, I think. You can still be quick with seq. paddle shiftng.)

Well, that gets more challenging than I thought.. . This MX 5.

Yes. From my experience there is a good 3 tenths per minute depending on the amount of shifts and the need of engine braking. It also helps with the car balancing.
And no matter what input I put on the clutch it isn't the same as using a H-shifter.

It kind of makes sense though, as if you take ISI games where the auto clutch feature basically gives you a full blown sequential transmission it is a good compromise.

This is a good template to use if you like the flames, but want to use different colors.

Sadly due to date clash of overseas events I won't be able to race for few months, but did made a base skin for screenshot for any one interested

Base Car

Sample Car (not included in base skin)
View attachment 139128
(I really wonder anyone will use this skin, just a sample when you added some sticker, )

Download for base skin (mediafire) -Hires
(if you need any skin making support, or really want sample skin for race, please contact me directly)

I think I will use it, I like it.

you mean the sample car, I suppose?

If that is the case, can you send me a mail privately so that I can send you the psd to you?
Thanks.

No the simple one, I like the base and I will add my touch by myself.
