Lost a wheel or two, but no 2014 F1 noses yet...

Just so we all know where the question box is   

Turn 2 sets you up with overconfidence. Midway to turn 3 you realize you are screwed and lock it up. Either the wall of death before turn 3 gets you or the tires on its apex do. There is no place to run off. you get to think about to for what seems like a looooong time.

So we have time to run the imsa and scca race in the same day? All the diffrent times are making my head hurt   

Hi -
New to HSO, just registered.  Have been rFactor online racing for years, always fun.  The Sunday racing, incl. this & the 1965 F1series, look very fun.  Wanting to join in @ this Riverside event, likely run a few more too.
So far not seeing where the HGTTC mod can be downloaded, sry if I missed it somewhere..   Also curious if the setups (svm files) are unique to ea car make, ideally I can get some base setup while on server in prac session to at least run well in back and have some fun.  Sry if this post is not in best thread.

Thanks!
Don

Hi Don, welcome to HSO     

You can download the mod in the "Rules" thread: http://historicsimracing.123.st/t2355-1974-scca-rules

The setups are not fixed and you can tweak the car to your liking, but yes all cars have individual physics so what works for one will not always work for another. It is usual courtesy here to share setups at another driver's request or even by own desire. On the main page there is a place where you can upload and download setup. Once you pick a car, I'm sure someone with the same model will be able to send you a base setup just ask.

See you on the track

No IMSA race on Sunday, Only the SCCA race   

Richard is right for next sunday, but beware that on February the 16th we certainly DO have both IMSA and SCCA races on the same day and on the same track, though NOT at the same hour. They will be separate races/fields raicng independently

Welcome to HSO Don!   

Make sure you book a car in this thread, you always must do this prior to racing:

http://historicsimracing.123.st/t2353-1974-scca-entry-list

Also do the same for the IMSA series if you plan to run there. There are plenty of cars left in each series.

The base setups for the SCCA cars are actually pretty decent. Don't worry if you are not as fast as others. I suck and sucked a LOT more a year or so ago. It takes time to get even close to the top drivers here. Richard Coxon is the beast here in Sedan A, Austin, Jan and Mick are the beasts here in Sedan B. If you can get anywhere near their times you are doing well.

And beware the wall of death at Riverside...you'll find it quickly.

Hello don welcome   Sorry for the confusion guys i thought both the races were on feb 2   I read to fast sometimes and see what i want to see   

Don,

Note that this weekend's SCCA race is being run much earlier than usual due to the Superbowl. Normal qualifying start time is at about 6PM CST (US Time). That is what time the Laguna Seca race will start. Just long enough for the iron men running IMSA and SCCA to take a break.

Yes but don't worry Don, that's just because he drives the quickest car, practices a lot and needs to sleep less than the rest of us. Other than that, my grandma would be quicker if she had enough seat time (And she has been dead 15 years)   

Oh and because he is brit he drives on the wrong side so be careful

Oh Alberto    You wasn't been like that when I was piloting your Porsche, Yes I did bin it but      

Well admittingly I didn't say that I'm even slower

Well, a ghost is pretty damn light. I would imagine that would help with performance as these tanks are already heavy as lead.

Don't undersestimate my grandma. She really kicked ass  

Hmmmm race setup faster than qual setup. Hmmm...boy I suck at setups   

 

I saw a miracle tonight, Jan made it between the wall and tires of death. He spun but he lived!   

Damn those Pontiacs are closing in ... need to squeeze the Hemi a bit more
