Decididing day & time for test races

[BurnOut]

Since there are enough people to arrange some LFS session, next step would be to agree on a certain day & time.

I still believe sundays at around 21:00 CET is the best time since most leagues in the past have run around those times and people from all over the world joined.

So,

What: XFG + XRG
Where: Blackwood GP Track.
When: Sunday 20th at 21:00 CET / 20:00 UTC

I'll try to set my team's server for this race, but we'll definitely have something if we are to race.

You can find great setups for both cars here:
setupfield.teaminferno.hu/

XFG is front wheel driven and easier to drive, XRG is rwd, a bit more powerful and heavier and, imo, more fun. Both together make for some really tight and fun races

My idea is to do a few short races, 5 laps or so, and if we all feel comfy we can do a longer run.

Thoughts?

Sundays at that time would work for me because I live in the EST in US and if I am correct that would be 3 PM here or 1500. I'm not real good in LFS yet but would love to try it online and see how it is. I know how to move over if someone is alot faster than me.

PEACE

Sorry guys Sheppard's wont be able to make it this sunday.

(I've sold my in-laws house and it needs to be cleaned out by end of Feb so my weekends are shot) (also we have a previous race this sunday too)

I also keep my server runnin' 24/7 (usually) I set it to default to BS's next race, but SpeedSimS guys can catch me on msn for the admin PW so you can change the tracks etc...

server: BSracing
leaderboard: simracing.ca/results.htm
administration: simracing.ca/about.htm

[BurnOut]

Kevin, it would be great to be able to use your server since my team is knee-deep now with testing for the 24 hours, Lemans series and a lot of stuff = really busy server.

Can you PM me info?

[ksheppard]

PM sent Burn

anyone else want it, just let me know

[oldnslow]

well, my old version no longer worked of LFS, so i d/l'd it today.
after a number of efforts i have convinced it the steering, and brake and throttle axis are working in the directions i like. so i will start practicing . not sure if Sunday will work can i get online with the demo version?

[ksheppard]

ya - selectable at the multiplayer screen - I think the score server is set for demo BTW

[BurnOut]

Yes, the demo works online flawlessly. However regular demo servers are full of wannabe drifters, wreckers, cheaters and other crap, so we will password our server.

Anyone that needs help configuring/installing/whatevering LFS, just ask here

If this race goes well, we can switch to other kinds of racing like Rally or open wheelers (Formula BMW), all included in the demo for free

Hope I'll be able to make it ... currently I'm "enjoying" the flu

[BurnOut]

Ouch! Hope you get better and can join us.
