I tried a few runs with more gas and my race pace is mid 15 to high 14 but im shot after about 10 laps or so.

Few times ive had to stop after about 8 laps and I did about 14 or 15 laps I think once so the race would be tough for me I think ill not risk it.

Managed to do a 14.4 so my pace is coming back with more laps.

Yeah and the races are a lot more intense than practice especially if you have other cars around you. Not worth the risk

On the front page of the members site they've now got the 'Week 13' stuff listed, apart from the usual avoid the official races at all costs there's some good combos, and some 'news' as well.

Lotus 49 at Mosport
Radical SR8 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (which I wasn't expecting to be out)

Also there's a MX-5, Solstice and Jetta with a 'surprise' (and no track listed), not sure if that's just gonna be long beach, or another new track, or something completely different...

Lotus 49 at Mosport ill have some of that please.

Murray · 18 Jul 2013 at 17:04

MONTREAL IS GOING TO BE OUT AS WELL?!?!

SKILL · 19 Jul 2013 at 08:32

Yep Montreal, the Lotus 49, and adding a figure-of-8 layout (no bridge :eek:

) to Irwindale, which is gonna be crazy.

There's also now a ghost car, or 'reflap car'.

All cones at circuits are now actually hittable/moveable, which isn't a huge step in theory but it's quite big in terms of the development of the collision model to make things more dynamic, ultimately the same stuff will lead to things being knocked off cars and lying on the track ready to be hit

Quite a few other updates as well, pretty good build all told it seems, and apparently they're aiming for Tuesday.

(all from the release notes up on the forum btw)

Standard Scalextric layout, don't see the problem.

How many of you guys are getting the lotus 49 ?

If we have enough ill host some sessions during week 13 just for ocuk guys.

Murray · 20 Jul 2013 at 15:43

At Montreal?

KnightStalker · 20 Jul 2013 at 15:44

Ill be gettting the 49 for sure, take me back to the GPL days

ill most likely need to buy tracks too, havent got many of the paid ones at all.

Will they add another pre-order (think they did it already) for the 49?

johny dolan · 20 Jul 2013 at 15:53

Those that pre-ordered the lotus got full refund and will get the car free and there will be nomore pre-order for the car.

It will be out with the new build.

Maint. (est. 4 hr): 23-Jul 1400 UTC [1000 ET]

johny dolan · 20 Jul 2013 at 15:56

Ill be hosting tracks like Brands-Watkins-Montrea but I have full content so can host any tracks you guys fancy.

Mosport might be pure mayhem with hundreds of noobs going off everywhere lol so thought it safer to host and password for the ocuk guys.

KnightStalker · 20 Jul 2013 at 15:58

Balls lol still looking forward to it, and thanks for the track list, gives me some to get as i dont have those i dont think, its gonna be an expensive week lol

Better get my t500 fine tuned in the ffb settings, done the basic min ffb and all that, think its just a case of adapting to this from a g25.

Murray · 20 Jul 2013 at 15:59

Brands is hard enough in the Lotus 79!

Watkins, Brands, Montreal, Oulton and a few more should all be great in this car though

johny dolan · 20 Jul 2013 at 16:12

Might even do a Indy oval session for the oval guys and thinking about it might be fun.

johny dolan · 20 Jul 2013 at 16:14

Knightstalker what was your name in VROC do you remember me and my brother Dik.
