**Announcing the Overclockers UK Racing Championship**

Had a go today. Had a bit of practice at home. Found that i was about 1 second down on what I normally achieve. Hopefully will stay in top 6. Really enjoyed the rig but being a bit of a short arse had to sit in a bit of a mini cab driver position.

What was your time?
 
1:09.136 I think. Had a couple of laps in the 1:09.1xx. Not a great time as fastest sectors were all in different laps.
 
I've had a couple of attempts at home using the challenge settings and I got a 1:08.8 as a comprison. My rift is still down so that's with my triples...last time I came I lost a second in the transition so I'm not far off the times but I'm not breaking any records. I really don't like Snetterton though, i just can't get into the flow of it at all.
 
Nice time at the top now! Done another 10 laps at home, spread between 1:08.2-7, still losing time in a few places though, and messing up when I get good splits! Shall see how I do tomorrow, hopefully keep form or improve

That 8 flat is a great time. I can barely get close to that on my home rig, and like I say I was a second slower on the VR rig. I'm going up for another go next week. Fingers crossed!

Cheers guys :)! I was a bit gutted as my last lap I was on for a 1:07.6 :O! VR is great, it actually made PCars easier than when I was at home :D! My only issue was that I couldn't tell how much I could push the car as much as at home, but was getting faster. O and the T500 (Paddles not moving with the wheel is something I need to get used to).
 
Good work, was hoping to get around the same time as you but it wasn't to be today, kept messing up! - knew you were going to be quick (I work at Racelogic, you had a few goes on our sim at Autosport in January) ;)

That 1:07.898 is an incredible time. Well done to whoever that person is! Didn't enjoy snetterton as much as Donington but pleased with my 4th place at the moment!

Great lap times everyone!

It's now the 2nd fastest time (At least if someone beats mine :O) that 1:07.8 :p!

I do love the VR though, I want it at home really badly! My only question with VR, is it possible to get a sharper picture?

yup - its called supersampling, and its easy to change in the vive.
however - you need a beasty graphics card, ideally a gtx 1080 to run at 1.5x the normal rate and still achieve the crucial 90fps with no problem.
to do it comfortably you need a 1080ti.

expensive but totally worth it - makes a dramatic difference to visual quality.
