Plenty of people registered for tonight which is good. Hoping the numbers will increase as the weeks roll on.

I wish the races were later in the evening, everyone seems to love doing them around dinner time and here's me with kids etc looking for some 10pm action.

swannyUK · 13 May 2021 at 13:21

I know what you mean, they were originally on at 7pm which was VERY difficult for me with 2 kids. Luckily my 5 year old goes to bed at 7 well(at the minute) and the 6 month old is usually asleep at 6:30ish.

Any later than 8 and people that are ahead of BST wouldn't make it because it would be getting too late.

Yup this is why I dont really do the online races

Right. Registered for tonight. Will be giving the 911 a spin, hopefully not literally, and will try not embarrass myself!! Fingers crossed my 3 year old plays ball too and is in bed by 7.30!

Nice one mate. I must admit I've just swapped from the Porsche to the Ferrari. I couldn't keep the thing stable.

Get on the official competition servers. 10pm has a 45m race proceeded by 5m practice, 10m qually. Standards usually very good as longer races promote drivers to engage their brains. I've had lots of good races on them.

Shame you boys cant make it but understandable.

Last night was class, honestly, Race Department sets the standard for ACC online. Proper racing and very fair.

Good to hear it went well. I will try and make one soon, and keep people company at the back!

Last night was awesome! Was my first race on a non public server. Really impressed with the standard of racing, very fair and had a great battle! Looking forward to Spa.

Glad everyone seemed to have a good race!

Spa next time out, what a track!

Finally settled on seat and stand, going to order today and a wheel next week just in time for coming onshore, so I'll be joining in soon.
Had a question.....My laptop has a 240Hz screen and my TV is 60Hz so will I have to drop my laptop to 60Hz when connecting it or does the TV basically just project the laptops performance? Never really had it connected before.

swannyUK · 16 May 2021 at 17:11

I believe that when the laptop is connected to the TV it will output at the max which will be 60hz

DJ85 · 16 May 2021 at 17:33

Thanks, so be as well set a lock to 60fps? Better than xbox locked at 30.

swannyUK · 16 May 2021 at 18:05

Yeh that's a good shout, should stop any tearing

Grumps82 · 17 May 2021 at 10:11

Ah good stuff David. It's worlds away from using a controller

DJ85 · 17 May 2021 at 10:29

Can't wait to get home and get it going.....better take the wife out for that meal first though!
