    First practice run with race fuel. Love this track. Lots more time to find. It's a shame more people probably won't be doing this race, The circuit and car will be a real challenge for an hour. Thank you guys at SRO!!!:cool:;):):D

    Ok now I feel like I'm finding something, at least for myself. I had to move the brake bias much further forward and stay in a higher gear through the tighter sections. upload_2023-10-30_20-2-28.png

    Oh and I did find the walls can be " Sticky " but of a different variety, Glance along a wall and you can get a track cut penalty. :oops:o_O I don't know how to explain it, but I love this street course layout and I know others will smoke my time, so I am not bragging by displaying my practice times. I know my skill level and others are much superior. I am doing this for informational purpose and to express how much FUN I am having. :D:cool::p;):) Thanks Team SRO!!!

    We now have Session Timing available from the Top Menu :) We may still need to tweak some settings, but as a client connection you can still use Filters to see the specific info you want.

    I can't log into the server. What is wrong? I have already reinstalled this trackpack, I can load this track and car in practice, but I cannot join the server

    Same issue. Looks like a version problem:

    But the question is, will calling out the v3.1 in the rfm actually fix it?

    It looks like the "naming" change was done on 31 October, after the server was set up. I'm thinking any of us who downloaded the tracks after that are having the problem. If it can be fixed for us, anyone who downloaded the track before the change might need to remove, then reinstall the package.

    Sorry for the delay guys. The server has now been updated and a new vmod created which you should get when joining the server, which is now up & running.

    great, everything works now. Can you please tell me the procedure for starting standing? Is a mandatory pit stop necessary?

    what a difficult car it turned out to be, it slows down strangely and turns poorly. Sorry Nick, I pushed you a couple of times in the back, it suddenly starts to slide, and the downshift doesn’t always engage :( The race turned out to be very difficult. Thanks to all . see you :)

    The braking is one of the most troublesome for me too and others I know have commented on it.
    It seems to have Downshift protection enabled which also adds to the driving difficulty, but then who said we should make it easy for you all in our series? :D

    I wish I could lap everybody upto 3rd place, win the race and still have a difficult time. :p

    Very exciting track tonight. I love these street circuits. I liked the car even though it got a bit squirly at times.
    Pleased with my start, settled down quickly and was losing about 1 second per lap to Ed Jones. Messed up when I missed a corner and ended up in the run-off. Apart from that, I drove well (for me), scraped the walls a few times but nothing serious. Struggled all night with that sharp left hander after the ramp complex. Thoroughly enjoyed the 'time trial' with Ed and was determined not to let him lap me but I ran out of fuel and had to pit with 0.7litres and 3 mins left! Oh well...
    Thanks all.
