Round 14: Seriously Not Serious Club

[Abdul Al-Amry]

That's is based on Abdul's idea from here. I will update the first post with everyone's laptimes. Each round closes on Sunday The server is set with 7hours of qualies.

You are allowed to change the setup.

Server name: RACEDEPARTMENT SNS
Password: usual club password.

Cars: WTCC 2007 BMW 320si e90 - Craig Morrison
Track: Abu Dhabi - Reik Major
Track Fix: AI FIX (Install fix after installing track)

Weather: Dry



Basic rules:

• Whoever is the fastest at the end of the week picks a car or track to run for the following week
• Whoever finishes last picks the track or car for the following week.
• The same person can't pick the track/car 3 weeks in a row. In the case that occurs, the 2nd line will choose the mod
• Tracks and mods have to be either game default or located in RD's download section

Standings after round 13

 

[Jim McGhee]

Incompatible. I have the AI fix installed...

Me too, tried fixed and non fixed

 

[Dave Flower]

Me too - incompatible game version.... I can see the track and the cars on the list in the lobby - could it be that the install on the server has not had the latest game update installed???

I do not have Race On - am using Race07 + GTR Evo, but track is shown so I have the correct track and 2007 BMW's are definitely showing in lobby and are definitely in my game - would be interested, for future reference, if you could let us know what caused this when it is solved.

Oh and even though its not working (yet) thankyou to Abdul for having such a good idea and more importantly taking it from idea to actual 'event' - and to RD for embracing Abdul's idea and making it possible.

I read of that problem before on NOGRIP with that track.... I cant remember what the fix is....

 

[Eric. K]

I put 2 tracks in the game.. u first join in Brands HAtch then advance to the next event in the chat. Let me please know if that works.

 

[Dustin Barton]

Ahu Dhabi loaded immediately, no Brands Hatch at all, however, the car is wrong. Should be e90 not e46 Very fun track.

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

No problem on my side. Loaded without any hiccups.

Same here. I'll PM Eric re car choice.

 

[Eric. K]

grgrgrgrgr.... did it loaded this morning or last night?

 

[Eric. K]

fixed the car...

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

grgrgrgrgr.... did it loaded this morning or last night?

Tried 30 mins ago and it loaded.

 

[Eric. K]

Ok then all should be good. Adding another track did the trick.

 

[Dustin Barton]

Very fun track. 2:29:134. I know I can knock another second off at least with some more practice. Really looking forward to seeing what the other guys can do, totally expecting 2:25's

 

[Eric Nelson]

oh goody goody!:doh2: RWD! :eyebrows:I should be hilarious to watch!:fear::doh::caked::eek:

 

[Dustin Barton]

2:27:679. I'm positive I can get into the 2:25's. One question though, with the start finish so close to the first turn, is anyone just gunning it to the start/finish and then going back to the garage? I've made the first turn a couple of times when doing this, so it really shouldn't take away from trying to get your fastest lap, just curious as to what people are doing/trying

 

[Ollie Chamberlain]

could we leave this up for a week then? going to struggle to get some good laps until the weekend

Mhhh didnt think of that. Makes sense saving 2.5 mins.

I have no problem with that Ollie, unless others object. Doubt anyone will. Its seriously not so serious club anyway

It's tempting when your on a good lap isn't it, always mess up T1 though if I do try and brake that late - and yes end up back in the garage! Not been consistent enough on this track to work out how much time could be saved by potentially 'sacrificing' your next lap though - maybe as much as a half sec???
Nice combo though, although struggling to get setup right....

 

[Eric. K]

Guys you can find all the time here http://timing.racedepartment.com/race07/statsAllBestLaps.php since no one has raced there before

 

[Dustin Barton]

2:27:077. And there's just so many places where I know I can pick up a tenth here and there.

 

[Reik Major]

Ok Ollie, here's the lap and the setup.

(I braked for correct for T1 also in the fast lap...)
