1 idea, OC staff, is to set up a live stream of the contestant laps while you're doing the competition, shouldn't be too hard to set up.
Stick it on fb or utube, might get more hits n stuff and be good to have a gander at.

Thats a good idea actually! Though we are running 2 setups on tour and 1 in the showroom! Which one would we broadcast!

Paracelsus · 12 Feb 2017 at 11:55

Are all the Manchester slots taken? Looks like it on the booking page but thought i'd ask!

Sircles · 12 Feb 2017 at 16:22

Yes they are all gone

Aero Rich · 12 Feb 2017 at 16:54

So, as far as I can work out, at least 4 of the top 6 times are in the 29s.

Top 6 as of 12/02 16.57

29.325
29.337
29.567
29.618
Another time not stated
30.014

Sircles · 12 Feb 2017 at 18:51

We will update tomorrow for all to see

Born2BSlow · 12 Feb 2017 at 23:12

So glad I got through first time round, some pretty handy times there. Gulp! July might be a challenge.

3 rigs!!

I guess we know what the prizes are gonna be in the final then haha.

Are all the PCs used on each rig exactly the same - spec wise?

They are all identical specs, to make it fair for everyone.

We did a live video so you can see, and a lot of the video was about the new OrionX PC too as 8Pack came along: https://www.facebook.com/OverclockersUK/videos/10154967276238349/

I'm 20 but have held my license for close to 2 years, any exceptions?

You can come and try it! However PalmerSport require drivers to be 21 and have held a license for at least 1 year, no exceptions.

I am not feeling that confident after seeing them two 1.29.3 times, oh dear ha. I may have to try again in April to June. I will see how long my 4th place lasts for

.

Thanks again for hosting up in Manchester, much appreciated!

Did you go to the Manchester event m8?

I'm gonna try at the Wolves event and if I don't set a good time, have 1 more go at OCHQ and that'll be it for me this Q.

molloy22 · 13 Feb 2017 at 16:20

Yeah, I went on Sunday. I set a high 1.29.5xx so I think I am currently in 4th

amyyylmao · 13 Feb 2017 at 16:49

molloy22 · 14 Feb 2017 at 22:53

Didn't know you could play the drums Amy?!

I have to say it is a lot closer than the 1st round!

Aero Rich · 15 Feb 2017 at 15:29

Does anybody know what app/software OC are using to to record the lap times.

It's a big pain not to be able to view laps completed in solo race mode.

I've downloaded an app but can't get the thing to work, want to see what everyone recommends?

You can do it in game Rich

Options - Gameplay - Onscreen guides & display : Cycle Lap Info = On
then:
Options - Controls - Edit Assignments
On the right under game, map a button to cycle the lap info, you can then see your session best vs current as well as the last so many laps in the session, and can cycle through the different HUD display options. Obviously you need the HUD on to see these.

You don't need an app mate.
