ERROR OPENING BROOkLIN.MAS for me ?? someone for help please ??
When you install, you have to click into the Michigan_uspits folder then install the Gamedata folder inside to your main rFactor directory. Dropping Michigan_uspits into the Locations folder will make it show up in the track list but the .scn will be pointing to the wrong directories.
Also, for those that don't have stock ISI tracks installed (I didn't), you need to download the original Orchard Lake track because Michigan's .scn calls for Orchard Lake's .MAS files. I got it here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

In response to the concerns of some, and after conferring amongst admins, we will be instituting this pit exit rule for today's race:
Upon exiting the pits, drivers must keep all four wheels below the yellow line until it turns white at the end of turn 2, then they can blend up into the track. This is to ensure that no one comes barreling out of the pits and into the turn 1 racing line, potentially causing a wreck. If a driver is spotted violating this rule during the race, a one-lap penalty will be added to the driver's total post-race.
Please take time to practice pit exits prior to qualifying today. Here is footage I made of the exit procedure so people would know what to do, plus footage from 1998 showing Hearn doing the same at 24:18

i advice to pit out in 2nd gear (95km/h) shift up to 4th gear and drive to 175-190 km/h beside the yellow line in order not to go on track where driver are at full speed (near 345-355 km/h)
take care ! there is a nasty bump at the end of Turn2 (both on track lane and in pit exit lane).
And my tips for pit-limiter zone to avoid penalties (Stop and Go or drive through)

GAH! Had an accident all on my own at turn 2 exit, not all that dissimilar to my 1973 Indy 500 accident. At least I completed more than 19 laps this time
The start debacle was partly my fault, as the cars in front of me slowed a bit before the line, and I touched the brakes in a panic. Saw a car spin behind me Thankfully, everyone continued.
Great racing throughout; some questionable driving at the back from time to time Still, a lot of fun.

Im very sory for having to write this down, but mr. Mello, I think you are not a fair player. Things you were doing on the track are just not to be done among other cars/drivers willing to drive the whole race! And somehow you were allways around me... I felt like you drove a tank!
It seemed to me you were first time at the track, and with only purpose to smash as much cars as possible.. Please, if you plan to continue driving like this, be so kind and drive for yourself and alone, becose this just does not make any sense.
And I want to apologise to mr. White for hitting him, it was in the battle between me and somebody else, and I wasnt aware of your presence, I just mislplaced pit warning for that other car..
And to conclude, great race (when Mello finally wanished), too bad my car was allready punished, I lost rear end on T2 exit, kissed the inner wall, and even managed to continue, suspension was just to unfriendly. I tryed, but just lost it again and smash it completele..
After qutiting I wached the rest of the grid (8) driving, and I must say you guys are really nice to wathc!
Congrats to all finishers, bed time for me, early awakening tomorow!!
And, mr. Mello, please, do not take me wrong, just think about it a little bit, we could all have more fun with less violent driving!
cheers

I'm just slightly embarrassed about my spin at the start [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I lost the plot a bit after the game told me to move up and pass the car in front, then the field seemed to accelerate and slow down so I had to take evasive action not to collect Jason or anyone else
I botched my restarts and was quickly several seconds behind everyone and when I actually could stay in the pack for a while the cars just flew past me left and right. Some of the zig-zagging down the backstraight took me by surprise
After the first series of pitstops I had a rather nice bit of scrap with Jason and Dana until I spun out exiting turn 2, I'm not sure if I hit someone or just lost it, lost my front wing and bent my suspension to hell. I pitted to repair what could be repaired but after the restart it became apparent I couldn't safely race in the madly dog-tracking car

I'll back Raul up on this. Roberto's driving was quite aggressive at times. So much so that I skipped a pit stop at one point just to put some distance between myself and his car.

I should take part of the blame. I'm just glad no one DNF'd because of it.

My race was going fine till I was caught speeding in the pits and got a stop and go .
Went a lap down there and my only chance was to overtake the leaders again and hope for another yellow, but it did not happen. Never could shake the pack from my tail despite using boost 4 and in the end I had to pit again ... where I got another stop and go. Got enraged and quit, but should have stayed for the points.
BTW the last restart I took part in was really dirty from the leading car, the heavy braking could have easily meant a big accident

Well, this one didn't go well. I didn't even last long enough to turn the boost up over 1/5.
Many hits from Roberto and others convinced me to cruise near the back until the field cleared up. Unfortunately, Roberto ended up back behind me on a restart and collected me violently when the field was slowing for a multicar spin around lap 70. No wings and at least one flat made it a nightmare to get the car back to the pit only to discover irreparably bent suspension. Hopefully the upcoming shorter ovals will be less disastrous.

You came up into the rear third of my car and bounced off without causing me damage. No harm done, just a little scare.

I want to say sorry to Lee for the little touch on the back, i simply got nowhere to go when Raul almost turns into you on the T1. Hope that doesn't ruined your race
I really don't remember if i do something to you Jacob, because you simply got slow short after i've entered in your draft. If it was my fault, excuse me.

I managed to ruin my race on my own and have myself to blame, but that finish was really really really dirty. One more moment of stupidity to add to the long list from the same guy...
I'm not even surprised that he crashed Jacob (of all people... one of the fairest driver out there) because he was going to win, he already did that to me here, and also in another league. That guy just doesn't belong here, and I hope this time the admins will at least disqualify him.
