    Have finally got my Moza wheel working with PC2. Might see about turning up as i always found PC2 quite fun. Cars quite slow but easy to handle.

    Did a few laps, hard to gauge fuel usage and tyre wear, will people be pitting? I mean 2:40 odd laps arent that much fun, maybe i'm not pushing hard enough. Setups never seem of much use in PC2! Changing anything barely does anything
    Tried looking for the server, didnt see it but assumed it was the fully name

    Any key things i need to bind.... Ive set it up with just basic controls so far.

    Front tyre wear is showing higher for me after a few quick test laps, so they will need looking after to avoid a stop. PB of 2.36.258 and fuel consumption of 3.1/3.2 litres/lap. But expect Bjorn to go quite a bit quicker as he is one of our resident PC2 aliens :D
    Bind keys/buttons for pitlane speed limiter and remember to press it when leaving the garage as it is not set automatically. Also rear-look/view. Not much else important.

    A couple close calls near and in the chicane:eek:
    Finally had a close and decent race and finished with no real mistakes in a long while.
    (except my start...Ed was thinking OMG what is this idiot doing) I'm loosing it I tell ya.
    But wing of 0 and still losing out on every strait, very frustrating.:rolleyes:
    Let me know you notice if my brake lights flicker on the straits.

    A Pc2 race without Brian is like a barbecue without steaks. Same to José

    It is a little difficult to make any suggestions related to this. It is very, very important what setup do you have 1 or 3 monitors, rezolution and refresh rate, VR, your expectation (which is the most important one).
    When it is about simracing, the rule (at least for me) was always "the most expensive that I can afford" (which is a little sad in this eastern part of Europe)
    Because, in the end it is about the money you can spend on it.
    About hardware, after many, many years of gaming I recommend Intel proc, nVidia graphics (and I'm 110% this will vary depending on who you ask) and a very powerful PSU. The rest can be anything, because if they failing it is not so expensive to change (SSD, M2 drives, RAM memory, etc.)

    I can recommend scan.co.uk for top quality, well specced and competitive pricing, along with great after sales support.

    Was a bit of a scrappy race for me and I had one to many off-course trips, but not as many as some way-off-course others whose names I won't mention in this season of Goodwill to All Men :D. Turn 1 at the start ended with me being pushed out wide on the exit, dropping a place, but I was able to keep a decent pace and look after the front tyres. Pressure came from Mark, Scott & others not far behind so it was pretty intense all race long. Somehow managed to reel in Gerhard and sneak through on the inside of T1 for 3rd place and then focussed on not making a mistake which would have lost me a bunch of places if I had.

    Sorry to see Mark drop out on his return to PC2 competition and hope you stay the course with this Sim Mark.

    As a big thank you to admins and congrats to podium players.
    Thank you all for nice words , never thought that "Alien" and Björn would be heard at same time :rolleyes::)
    good to see that practise , still makes result , for the old man. ;)

    Had a good qual time and p1 so I had to try to get away from the antisipated carnage in t1 .
    Did a good start "was a bit unsure if it was a jump" but looking at a slow replay in 0,25 could see it was not " phu

    Afte that it was a hard chase from Flaviu , had to keep cool and try to slide away ;) that worked out ok until
    crew cheif started to shout about fuel woudn´t last , had to eas off a bit , so my little gap vanished down to 1sec and below .
    Managed to keep it together with no big issue´s , so very pleased :)

    Hadnt driven PC2 for so long did feel strange. #all seemed to get a bit busy up head on lap one; sue i saw someone going off track to pass at the end of the straight! Having drivien modern cars in most other games, was hard ot remember sometimes to slow down and not treat it like a GT3, was definitely over driving it at times. Think I ended up going off and hitt the barriers hard. Went to pit to repair with about 10mins left but It came back with AI control after the stop... so hit escape.

    My time with PC2 was many years ago, was just looking for a chance to reminisce. I happen to be off work that week so could join. Normally on working weeks i can not as you time the races too early for me to fit in.
