Round 10 - Brands Hatch (Jun 5th)

I have not joined the ATS Team yet and after a test session I might not join.

Ok, so I'm having wheel issues, I think it's actually a pedals issue. I'm going to try to get it straightened out. I'll let you guys know Saturday night or early Sunday morning if I can't.


BTW: for those wondering, after Indy, whenever I plug my wheel in, it goes through the calibration and everything and it all feels ok. But as soon as I start up rFactor, or even bring up the controller settings in the Control Panel, the wheel resets itself, goes through the motions again and there is no force feedback at all, the wheel is free spinning, also the pedals aren't registering.

If you own a G25/27 it could be the wheel software itself.

A recent update to the software has rendered many issues with the wheels of others so reverting to an older version of the software could be a possible way to solve the issue

Group insurance discounts, the only "benefit" of ATS racing, is now gravely in danger.

So I'm confused. Who, if anyone, is driving #10?

Team ATS (David Sabre and I for this weekend) have realized the importance of a solid life insurance plan given the ATS' innate ability to spin under any and all acceleration and hard barking situations. If anyone wants to get in on a group discount let us know.

Note ATS stands for Automatically Timed Spinouts

Hahahaha, how accurate. Caused my demise at Anderstorp, but did help me in Monaco! Good luck tomorrow, whoever you are. (Mike, check yer PM's!)

Nobody yet I guess as David must have decided only so much pain can be tolerated in one Sunday. I thought David was going to take the 10 as we were both online practicing this morning.

I plan to try driving the car backwards as that may improve acceleration stability.

Well, barring a miracle tonight, it looks like I'm not gonna make it. I do have one more thing to try but, I don't expect much as I feel like this is a hardware issue, but we'll see strange things have happened before.

I'm late to this discussion, but could the driver need reinstalling?

Basically what I'm doing now.

Got held up, I'll join you in a couple of minutes.

Sorry can't make it tonight, I had no time to practice last week and I tried setups from other tracks but they don't work very well. So I'll be back next round.

pc crashed............on my way..........

let me in pc crash

oh well back to making some skins.

A have a big problem i dont know where. Sometimes my screen suddenly freeze and jump out of rfactor to the winows and after 30 seconds jump back to the game. I thought that it caused by overheating graphic card so during the races i increase the fans speed to lowering the GPU temperature. But now when my pc jump into windows i see a normal temperature 48°C so i dont know what is starter to this freezing. Any idea??

shame that unpatient faster driver Ryon broke my rear suspension, i was about letting him by like other , i was in byttle with M. Drechles in last laps i gain speed, and the time was lowering fast, in about half race someone without wings cause lost me too much seconds, the eleventh place was near , end of race was fight with criplet car

Ah, I was wondering what happened to you, could have become a nice battle, cos otherwise, it was a pretty lonely race for me. Way too slow for the guys in front of me, way too fast for those behind me. I was concerned I'd cook off my tires, especially, as I put together several pieces of that puzzle that made up my setup, I forgot to take away some camber. Balance and traction were quite okay, the car was relatively gentle, which helped me survive the race unscathed. I had a few offs nontheless, but no contact with the guard rail. The car came to live as soon as I had less than 60 litres of fuel on board, before, it was quite a fight to get it around the circuit, but the last 10 laps were hard. Tires pretty much gone, stamina gone, and as I was sitting rather crooked in front of my desk, my wrist, back, hip and neck began to hurt. I urgently need to reorganise my desk.

Otherwise a fun race. I'm mostly satisfied with my position, I knew, I wasn't fighting for points this time around, but my goal was not be last car running. And I brought the car home without any scars. I call that a successful night

Congrats to the podium and all other finishers
