    Normally the BMW 2002 #63 would have been my choice, but all three BMW that can drive on the server are already "taken". To continue on that, what Phil said. It is possible that someone could attend earlier on the server than those that selected skin for the car. In this scenario, one of them is in jeopardy to drive a car that he has never driven before.

    So probably it would be good to add a fourth BMW at the cost of the Austin Healeys, for example. That is just a suggestion because it is still risky to expect that the BMW is waiting for you.

    However, that is not a threat from my side. I will try the challenge to make the rear tyres last with the Alfa. So Alfa #13, please.

    That's easy enough to do, I initially only selected the numbers of cars to accommodate the 24 client track limit. I'll add a BMW and assign #63 to you Philipp.

    Anybody using a car that they have not selected and which is already assigned to another member will be asked to re-select another free car.

    Hello, I think I'd like to go with the Alf GTA #10 if it's still possible to pick one, for the whole series, again if possible. She's lovely, well made, but she's gonna blow up her tires in a matter of few minutes... :eek::D
    May I ask why we have tire blankets ? It's unrealistic, but above all it doesn't help safety imho, as the tires are warmed up like modern ones, so way too much, and this leads to crazy high pressures.

    All yours Maxime.
    No specific reason other than its default in our server configuration. The info provided for that config option is that the blankets prep the tyres to the "optimum" temperature, so if your suggestion is true then those car mod optimums must be incorrect. Whatever the answer may be, I will disable tyre blankets as they wouldn't have used them in period anyway I suspect.

    Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA Please. Not sure where to pick the numbers? Do I just jump in the server and grab a Alfa? Sorry for the lack of knowledge here.


    Jut read this. Just jump in server and jump into your car? I've been here for a bit and still can't get this right LOL.

    Thank you Ken ! I hope my Internet horrible instability won't trigger at the race time but if ever, unfortunately I shall cancel my attendance.

    Thank you for this ! ;) Probably an impossible harmony between tires temps and pressures then.

    Just let me know what car you want to use and your STEAM Guid# and I'll assign to you. If you or anybody else wants to use a different car in other races, just let me know and I'll change it.

    3 minutes from the end of the race I got a message saying "Race canceled" and I was kicked out of the server.
    Anybody else got that?

    Congrats to winners, podium and finishers!

    I could have kept third but nooooooooooooo, I had to go and push. Punted John and Philipp at the exact same spot on track. Did a drive through for John. Dude, I didn't even want to get next to you. Errrrrrrrrrrrr. Philipp, I waited for you and then some. I didn't even want to punt you or go for the move their. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I think my braking point at that part of the track was a bit different than most. I should have fixed that with the John but NOPE, I had to go do it again. BUT, I still had fun racing you guys. I just wish I didn't make contact. So irritating. Anyways. I still had fun.

    Later guys.

    Edit: Didn't get that John. That's strange.

    Johnny

    You were fast! I should have leaned off way more and just let it go. Darn you Johnny! So irritating. I can only imagine for you guys.

    Yeah, but the full story is
    To be honest, I was pretty much confused. I saw all four BMWs were taken and was then in the same situation as you. I did then what Ken told me, or told my teammate @Franz Herbert Mann to report it, while I tried to get my steering wheel working. And then he told me I should try now, because Paul (who had a BMW without selecting it here) left the server. Later, I understood what you meant with your comment. John drove my skin and I drove yours.

    That is unfortunate and I am sorry for that. My plan B was to drive the Alfa, but that was also not an option, because I had then blocked @Maxime Tendils car. So I would have ended up with that would you tried, driving a car without practice/experience. The only thing I can offer now, in a similar situation I would give you the car (regardless which skin it has) but as Ken stated, that should not have happened in the first place. And I do not think that I am predominantly to blame.
    No problem, in the end that was good for @Scott Ring who passed us both. But I was sideways there, so it was difficult for you to avoid my car. Our battle in the end was quite fun. ;)
