RD MINI Challenge 2020

[Samuel Fuller]

You need to be a member of the SGP RaceDepartment community in order to enter RD events.

Thanks, I thought I was. But clearly not. I've messaged Bram.

OT. I'm really looking forward to this. Haven't done a RD Championship since RDGT season 6 I think.

Did my first laps around Watkins Glen today as well.

Me too. Well, my first laps on it for a very long time! Great fun in this little car.

Can some suggest some AI settings to thrash against in prep?

I would suggest to join some races online instead. AI isn't a good tool to practice against as they behave nothing like real humans.

If you can't do any online racing vs real people between now and the championship, I'd suggest finding an AI level that is around your pace. Practicing driving in traffic will be essential, probably more important than single-lap pace alone. However, AI is fairly predictable, humans are not, so it won't be much like the real thing.

I'd suggest an AI aggression of at least 80%, to ensure they actually try and put up some fight instead of just giving in.

@Jacob Marshall I have set up a SGP event with the MINI prior to the start of the series. Feel free to join https://beta.simracing.gp/events/DeWg-qchSYUHBI8AaklH1 *

I remember taking part in... 2007 I think? And the league still exists! Nice.

I'll have some of that, though I find the lack of British Racing Green disturbing; went for Maybin, seems prophetic.

Do you have links to the correct mods?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

The are on the event page on SGP under the MODS tab, there are links to all the stuff you need for each round.

Hope that helps.

It could be that you were before. We had changed the RD group to SGP official to be able to test even bigger fields. Later we created a new RaceDepartment group

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I'm really looking forward to this.

Awesome, i see you have now successfully signed up. Welcome back into MINI-land

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

@Pessio has updated his MINI Cooper mod, you can find the newest version here: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/mini-cooper-jcw-uk-challenge-f56.30469/

 

[Jose Vasconcelos]

If you check SGP it gives you all the server settings from time of day to track temps, so you can practice offline.

Thanks

 

[UMC 22]

Seven slots remaining guys. Get yourselves signed up, it's going to be a blast!

 

[Jacob Marshall]

I'm in, but lord I need to get used to RH-drive racing; all of my angles are off

EDIT: As a side-note Re: Mondays Donington Race, if anyone is thinking 'pfft, all Aliens'* I'm busting a gut hitting consistent 1:17s, so at least one of us will be driving with Miss Daisy.

*I did/do/kinda
