A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. You will get 2 warnings before a drive through penalty for exceeding track limits to your advantage. Any warnings/penalties are displayed by the server in the chat window/top of the screen at the end of each lap.

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord and in game. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify who you are.

Info on scoring/penalties here

Practice Server is up!!

 

[Alfred Wayne]

so since we're doing the short track, are we doing nascar track limits too? It's like they're avoiding staying on track coming out of the loop

That T1 line :O

 

[stigs2cousin]

That´s Nascary

On another note:

let´s use the AC track limits, T1 you have the right tyres touch the line or get slapped with an off track.
Outer Loop exit you just have to keep it from the green stuff

 

[Peevee88]

Has the password changed from that other Dutch track?
Can someone pls PM me the password? Thanks

 

[stigs2cousin]

If you´r talking about Croft, that´s on an island formerly belonging to Europe, so you have to type on the wrong side of the keybord

Hi Paul,

I've added you to the password thread.

It's the usual Sunday one

Good gracious!

Please don't. Or does it? Please please don't.
Seriously. Curbs are the track limits in our race, I hope. Always.

What are they doing?

 

[Interslice]

We're just using the now usual server side track limits.
You can run a little wide but nothing crazy. It's all setup pretty well, as you would expect from a liski track.

 

[johnny85ac]

I'm in

 

[Interslice]

Welcome Johnny! Not sure you have been in a ginetta before?

To anyone new to these. The default setup is good outside of the rear wing. In F1 terms 0 is monza and 3 is zandvoort. I don't think there is a track that would need 4 clicks.

 

[johnny85ac]

Thanks, no did not drive the ginetta before and was quite surprised to sit on the wrong side until i realized what LHD and RHD means
And yes, lowering the rear wing setting seems to be a smart decision

 

[Kek700]

There seems to be a trend of lowering the grip levels, the practice server is 98%.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
That means if a car is prone to snap oversteer, snap will inevitably arrive much sooner than snap
.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Actually I feel that your mix it up with the Abastarth

The Ginetta is a rally nice rightwheeldrive car with user friendly poweron understeer
(friggin Outer Loop )

Only twerking I experience is when I overdo the trail breaking part, but that can "aeroed out"

(keep in mind that TC is on the "loose side" and don´t rely too much on it.)

Is it possible that the rearview mirror is forced on the practice server?
Could you please turn that off Brian?

I seem to remember that at Croft last weekend the grip stayed at a constant 98%. It was OK once you got the feel of it (which I didn't)
