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.

I assume you still have not as yet switched to Daylight Savings Time as we have in Canada so I should join an hour later my time.

...What a combo!
Gonna be fun. ..

Well, that's one way of putting it

.
How on earth do we keep this car on track? And facing the right direction, preferably..

And to add to all this fun, ALL cars are RHD!!

If you think this one is a handful, i will be hiding when you try the Escort. It's a lot of fun after you learn to drive it though (which only took me 3 or so years

).

This track is laserscanned by the way, not the latest in graphics technology but i like the feel and flow it has.
Going on for a few laps in case someone wants to join.

Uhm, am I blind, but I can only find the Lotus Cortina? O.o

Aw, you gotta love the Cortina though.

More tyre squeal than..... than..... than 2 drunk fat birds in a dodgem car.

Edit: All done in the best POSSIBLE taste of course.

Actually I DO think it's fun, but a bit of a handful, yes.
Hopefully I can find the time, as I can't wait to try that Escort now!! I'll let you know beforehand though

I went of on the server last night about 20 times

in that car , a bit low on the gearing
so you can go a gear higher seems to take the worst jumpiness

Quas · Mar 10, 2015

Of course the Cortina is fun, trying to catch Yves' Cortina with a fat Falcon was even more fun. I sense a David vs Goliath week coming with V8's vs nimble 4 cylinder screamers on all three days, just need a bit of time do set this up as it requires A LOT more testing to make it fair.

Guys, we got a table at 17GMT in some fancy new restaurant, the menu there takes a while and we're going with friends so i might start drinking

.
In case it stays a calm night with a civilized dinner only i should be back for the race (already convinced my lady to make a reservation at 17 instead of 19 o'clock

), but if we start being silly we could end up who knows where.
So if i'm not there, you know i'm on a mission

. Have fun boys & girls!

sign me up please

Sven-Arne Andersson · Mar 10, 2015

Sign me up please.

Sign me out please - download takes far too long time so I will not be able to make it in time.

~~Same thing Roy Magnes experiences. Try this link~~

That was the 1.1 version - 1.0 is being used here. Sorry!

Denis Betty · Mar 10, 2015

Guys you sometimes need to restart the D/L if it's slow. Some glitch with Mediafire I think. You need the track D/L from this thread to avoid a TDF missmatch.

Roy Magnes · Mar 10, 2015

I will join the next race, hopefully the download is ready by then. Tonight the ETA has been everything from 2 minutes to a full hour, so I am not jumping in my seat just yet

This is what I get for letting @Ole Marius Myrvold influence me, I guess

Ole Marius Myrvold · Mar 10, 2015

And if allowed, I will as well

Yves Larose · Mar 10, 2015

praccy 2 is starting in a few minutes

Roland · Mar 10, 2015

Brilliant fun this was! Although I had only one real fight for position each race, there was never a dull moment. Especially race 2, when all of sudden the field almost doubled

I had front row seat to a 4-car fight for 3rd position for almost the entire race. Although I could get nowhere near you guys, I could see glimpses of the fight arriving at about every other corner. Very distracting to watch a great fight when driving, I must say

Thanks all for joining, Thanks to Yves for a very stable setup, and to Jarek for the event and for still showing up for a drive after dinner&drinks
