Nice skin muska, your own design?
On the skippy front, loving the Indy circuit at brands hatch, only half a second off the aliens. Three races tonight, 2nd, 3rd and a 4th which I should have won, but I spun on the downhill left hander. 270 irating and .5 sr so far...

I made the paint but it's a design concept from the Saudi Falcons livery.
0.5s from Aliens in the Skippy is damn fast! Well done!

Had a really good race at the VLN layout of the ring last night, all cars grid together so a few GT cars had to come through the pack. Very close racing with me and a couple of the other C-Specs.
Then I try and practice to race in the RUF Cup this season and it's an understeery mess with the fixed setup and default weather @ Watkins Glen

Video is not working for me mate.

Yea, that works fine, did you put everything after the v= into the youtube tags?

Despite what seems like a little ongoing service degradation with slow access to results/stats, I'm loving this more and more.
Although I suck at Nordschleife with little driving time on it, what an absolute buzz to be revving engines and hearing others doing the same, psyching up to head out on this glorious track.
First race in a skippy first time around Brands last night - despite coming 11th, loved the race and felt those taking part were cleaner racers than those I find doing the Mazda Cup - in my last Mazda Cup race a guy rammed into me - twice! - forcing me off track - I wish iRacing was a little more sophisticated so I didnt incur incursion points through no fault of own.
@Muska - love the paint job, must work on my own as still using the plain defaults on my drives. Must also look at recommended setups for RUF as I find it an understeering pig at default. Could you share any setups files you have? Shout out if you plan to do any more hosting - was there ever a scheduled OCUK meetup?

We've all complained about getting x4's for someone hitting you from behind. But it's the same for everyone so it evens out over time. I don't think there are many incidents that are deliberate, so mostly lack of skill or concentration. Since most of us are amateurs then it's to be expected.
Managed to do a couple of hours practice in the Skippy last night, first time this week. I was about 0.7 off the fastest time of the session, which was pleasing.

I don't really agree most incidents are due to lack of skill or concentration, given the driving and racing behavior I've observed. I've seen the most ridiculous pileups and contact that should never have happened - increasing your safety bubble around you, observing what's going on in front of you, not racing so close, would prevent much carnage. Just common sense behavior. Makes me wonder why some people pay their subscription and drive the way they do.
On another note, I shared earlier I think the ffb into my OSW is super in AC, but I think the braking sensations are better in iRacing, and I missed that feeling when in AC during the iRacing maintenance.
How's the Fanatec setup with Forza 6 Barmy?

I'll add a lack of spacial awareness as well. There are also in incidents you can atribute a lack of common sense and race craft as well. All of which is to be expected really, more so in some of the Skippy races because you can race with just a C licence or D 4.0. And as we all know, you don't need to have any of the skills I've mentioned in my last two posts to actually attain any of the licences. Maybe that's were the service needs to look to reduce the number of incidents.
Another race last night a Brands in the Skippy, qualy'd 2nd but dropped a place at turn 2
Was having a good run around in the top 3 and built a gap to the guys behind, then the two in front got tangled up and went out of the race
I ploughed around in 1st until about 3 laps from the end when 2nd place caught up with me, defending by staying right for T1 and he ploughed into the back of me!
Luckily damage wasn't too bad and I managed to get home in 3rd but felt robbed of 1st place

Any recommendations for setting up cars? Anyone use the iRacing setup sync database, any good?
Seems like wealth of setups for each var per track, which one to use, trial and error, check stats of racer providing setup, names to look out for?

I normally use one from a fast guy on the forums and use my (extremely limited) setup skills to adjust it to my liking.
Looks like fun. You're not wrong about those first few corners, amazing that most people managed to stay out of trouble.

RAM arrived, has been in a few days. No massive difference, the system is using barely 512MB more than with 8GB installed. 'Ring load times are still the same. I'm seeing less paging activity, but still getting FPS dips at the bad bits on the 'Ring GP. The occasional white car problem with 50+ car grids has gone away, but unsure if that's the new build or the extra RAM.
