Rules:
If you have not entered the server and driven a few laps with fellow drivers before we go to qualifying you are to late for that session. Please think of your fellow drivers and get out on track with them, watch how they drive, you can't race with guys you have not seen drive.
We ALL brake a little differently and drive the corners differently, get used to how they drive and then we can all race more safely.
If you drop out of the server during qualifying you can return.

This is being held in our Club, using Club Rules, and should be driven in that spirit.

HI
And here is a setup you can try- its tested and approved I use steering wheel range of 648
for this one ( G27 )

IMO lower locks than the strongly recommended 900 degrees destroy the immersion and character of the cars alot. I use 900 with default lock in garage on every car and would advise everyone who wants to get the most out of this mod to do the same

Steering wheel range is a personal taste thing Jarek ---like some like Blondes others like Brunet's..
on difficult cars like Ford GT 40 I use 900 degrees

Of course you can like one steering ratio more than the other, but i don't think you could change it much on most of those cars in real life. So if you're going for realism you'd have to adapt your driving or live with it if you don't like it.
It's matter of taste how you like your sims, personally i want to use the settings that are the most authentic. And if you have a look at the onboard videos in HGTTC's main menu or youtube you'll see they had to make huge steering inputs, i think the HistorX team knew exactly what they were doing when setting it up for 900 degrees and recommending it multiple times in the manual.

To each their own though, as long as we're all having fun.

Good fun tonight, as expected.
Stalled and forgot to fill her up after quali for R2, still managed to enjoy the hell out of the ten and a half driven laps . Guess i got a bit distracted by Darth Vader

. Or maybe by @Jack Smith taking off his shirt, i really don't know.
Grats for the win Allan, somehow i thought we're fighting for the lead with Sven, Stig and Yves.
Didn't even notice there was another car in the distance.

Thanks for the show, gentlemen. See you on Tuesday.

and the cars are a surprise

Jack Smith · Oct 24, 2014

Ya ... a tough night of racing.....sweating heavily. Removed shirt but kept the long underwear and winter boots on....Canada you know. You never know when we will need to go out side to use the bathroom.

Good time as always....especially when you complete both events. I still have not figured out this car ...not smooth around many corners.

Thanks Yves for helping Jarek start the event. Cheers to all Drivers. WD Allan.

I like them both .....and preferably female.... long Canadian winters do things to you that I rather not talk about.
