AC Rookies: Abarth 500 @ Nurburgring (Live Stream) - Wednesday March 22, 2017

[Paul Jeffrey]

Hey gents,

Just a heads up that we have another similar "rookies" event running the open wheel equivalent to the Abarth 500, the lovely little Formula Abarth Tatuus car. It's going to follow the same structure as these races and will be held on Friday 24th March at Vallelunga. We are hopeful it will be a success like these events and provide some sweet racing. Please do drop in and sign up if you fancy it, I'm hopeful for a nice full grid (or two) sorted sooner rather than later

Thanks guys!

Nurburgring sprint is not a DLC, neither is Abarth 500, why does it say that DP3 is needed?

The Abarth 500 is a DLC car from Dream Pack 3. Nurbs is default content.

Sorry, my bad, always though it was core content.

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Funny enough so did I until recently! It's been so long since DP3 came out it feels like core content!

What's the grid size for Nurburgring? (Or at least how many cars in server #1 if I'm in that). May have to adjust settings for VR at this rate

Hi mate,

To be honest I'm not 100% sure (I'm standing in for Bram atm) but I suspect with the grid numbers we will look to split the field 50 / 50 if possible and have a 20+ car grid for each server.

Regarding settings, I ran a 30 car online race the other day with the settings mentioned on my article about setting up VR, ran locked 45fps no worries. Probably worth just checking it out before the race in a public lobby or something first to be safe however!

Grid for both servers looks immense. If these events continue to grow we might need to run 3 servers in future.. Yay

As this will be my first semi-serious online race I hope that setup will be fixed?

Not much you can do with these cars anyway. And most people run default. It's not about setups here.

What Joseph said

However yes, for this race setups will be fixed
