[Stuart Thomson]

Servername: RACEDEPT.COM TEAM
Class: Lotus Cortina / Toyota Corolla & Abarth 1000TCR / NSU TT
Track: Laguna Seca
Conditions: 16.00 GMT race time
Practice: 20 min
Qualification: 10 min
Race: 16 laps
Notes:
1. Click here to read the password and golden rules!
2. Teams will consist of 2 drivers
3. Teams will be randomly selected from the sign up list. Please do NOT ask if you can choose your own team mate.
4. Driver will be allocated as "Driver1" & "Driver2" within the Team.
5. In Race1, Driver 1 will driver either the Cortina or the Corolla, Driver 2 will drive either the Abarth TCR or the NSU TT.
6. In Race2, Driver 1 will driver either the Abarth TCR or the NSU TT, Driver 2 will drive either the Cortina or the Corolla.
7. Driver 1 & Driver 2 are NOT obligated to drive the same cars as each other in the 2 races. So, within a team, Driver 1 could race the Corolla & the Abarth, Driver 2 could race the NSU & the Cortina.
8. If you are driving the same car in either race, you should use the same livery.
9. Once I announce the teams - probably on the Monday before the event (so people can have a chat), I would like one of the team representative to nominate all the liveries they will be using on the night. Liveries will be on a first come first served basis, and no team may duplicate. Where possible, pls try and keep the liveries in similar colours for ease of identification. As last time, I will put up team pictures with the liveries for reference.
10. Scoring will be done the same as the previous Team event

P1 = 1 point, P2 = 2, P3 = 3 etc.

The team scoring the lowest aggregate points across the 2 races wins.

This was put up this far in advance so I can do the required admin, so people (hopefully) have enough time to consult within their teams a little if they want to.

Guys!!

I don't know if this will happen to you or not.
I just ran out of fuel in the TCR after 15 laps of practice. I had put enough fuel for 18 laps!!

I ran a second test with 25 laps worth of fuel and ran out at lap 21. The whole time XD was right on the money with the predicted laps left according to remaining fuel.

So, XD=Accurate/ GTL=off by a LOT

For those of you who do not have XD...(these are Sam's words BTW)

XD: Basicly it's GPL Pribluda for Gmotor games, for fuel calcs, I've stuck the link below, just a single .dll that makes an .ini when first run, you can set up screen position, how it displays, and what info etc. in the ini with decent explanations of each in there too, I know a load of the guys here use it too, does GTL/GTR2/Evo etc and rFactor and I have found it invalueable for finding out how much fuel per lap and how many laps fuel in tank will run, also because GTL has no trackmap it's handy for seeing gaps to and from competitors in race.

Here's a screenshot of how I run mine (without the motec window, just the standings and the laps/fuel info)

I was already thinking that less then 1 liter/lap wasn't enough... thx Carlos (btw: I didn't know there were 'read-receipts' in PM's ... Lucky you I was in a good mood )

I just wanted to make sure everyone saw it.

Thanks for being in a good mood though :good:

Using it already since GTR 2. Never trusted the game anymore when i drive on add on track or a mod car. The tool also works for rFactor and offcourse GTR Evo. Only i use Motocadd for the last one.

 

[Lee Madden]

yes Carlos thats what happened to me @ watkins mate.. 22laps of fuel for a 19lap race ....conked out on lap 17-18... gutted :shout:


Im off to swimming with the boys catch u all about 8:15 ish ..

Ben your all sort now mate cool

 

[Ben Tusting]

Just downloading the money cheat

 

[Ben Tusting]

whenever i select any car it gives me the Abarth TCR ( I tried it on all the other servers aswell)
I deleted the Abarth mod and I can still join the RD server without the mod

 

[Stuart Thomson]

reinstall the TCR Abarth mod - Lenno had the same thing as you and that cleared it.

Lee the way I do thisut 10 ltr.fuel in do some practice laps until I run out off fuel, Abarth TCR Laguna 10 ltr= 8 laps so 16 laps is 20 ltr put 22 ltr.to be sure,put that in my set up call it Laguna -Race make it a faforite.
In Quali.I bring back the fuel for say 6 laps,when race start I have to hit Laguna Race that's it ,Never run out off Fuel

Tried this a couple of times and it hasn't worked

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I've got no idea then

 

[Stuart Thomson]

have you tried uninstalling all 3 mods and then putting the Abarth on before the others?

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Forget me I am a fool

 

[Stuart Thomson]

your plr file isn't set to "read only" is it?

 

[Ben Tusting]

It was set on read only

The Abarth selection only happens online aswell

 

[Stuart Thomson]

does your plr file look like this at the top

[ DRIVER ]
Profile Vehicle File="GAMEDATA\TEAMS\TC-65\LOTUS CORTINA\902\902_SIM_TC_CORTINA.CAR"
Vehicle File="GAMEDATA\TEAMS\TC-65\LOTUS CORTINA\902\902_SIM_TC_CORTINA.CAR"
Sim Vehicle File="GAMEDATA\TEAMS\TC-65\LOTUS CORTINA\902\902_SIM_TC_CORTINA.CAR"

 

[Ben Tusting]

Stuart it doesn't

It has the Abarth for vehicle file and Sim vehicle file, But when i change it to the cortina it changes it back to saying Abarth once i join the RD server

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas

 

[Sam J Simpson]
