Round 1 - Donington Park GP [Jan 18th]

Riding curbs flips over the car sometimes

Its a real challenge with FWD

welcome to supertourers. they had very hard suspension, hence you see tons of pictures of cars airbourne.

I hope to get anywhere near the front runners pace. The car is feeling fine, no issues under braking, just capable to do to a slide and power down from apex, but really off pace right now (1:40:9 for Race)

I'm so much off the pace it feels embarrassing

Well, even I have to admit I took my distance to both Audi and BMW after testing them. They're not bad, but the FWDs are bossing this.

I drove them all at Toban Long(not exactely a track that represents the BTCC tracks, but oh well), and with the Beemer, I was like a second off.

The Audi seemed faster, but it's got it's unique handling abilities, which make it a bit tricky when both front and rear "power" on.

Maybe you guys should have made the mod compatible with the RFE plugin to give it's 4WD more of a useful existence

Yes but I mean comparing myself with the other Audi  

I know it is indeed slower (At least in my hands) than many of the FWD, but my reasons to choose it were based on it being easier to control in the mayhem of TC traffic and door banging. You will be surprised to see what happens when two cars bang door while full throttle ... and one of them is the Audi

what I can say, can' do times under 1:40,

I race

We have updated the v1.05 to v1.06, this now includes the majority of the graphical issues that were mentioned, you can download it here: HSO v1.06

Please download this patch if you get a hdv mismatch on the server.

P.S This new patch includes the physics update of v1.05. I would also like to apologise for the amount of patches released so soon after launch. This is very un-HSO like and I would just like to take the time to apologise for any inconveniences caused.

Thanks

both races

I'll be doing some laps on the server 20.45 CET this evening. Please join for some fun!

Surprised I am not that slow with just a handful of laps But as expected, my driving style makes me look like an idiot in a FWD car(or at least I struggle to convert my Toban Long form into something useful for Donington GP)

Have people not yet started practicing on the "new" version?


There are still people that should confirm their presence. "Car thieves" lurking in the shadows

Do we... have a BROADCAST??

And who is gonna be on it?

I should receive my new tower tomorrow, so if I've enough time to unmount my old case and re-mount it in the new tower, I will be there. Otherwise, see you for the next.

Now, now, we all need to have our secrets

Ever since Richard suggested a link between me and Pascal(for example) to make a broadcast, I'd quite fancy commentating on the races when not in a car myself.

Sooo pffftttt, secrets

Never made any commenting and I may not be the best talker out there, but somehow I like the idea to volunteer keeping an eye out on timing and scoring and point the main babbler at the interesting stuff on track for a change. Can't make any worse than a complete hash at it

anyone on the server tonight? Only 24 hours left to raceday! I'll be on 21.00 CET tonight.

I might be there shortly after 9 pm.

Ce n'est plus un secret, David !  

edit : c'est toujours un secret, alors !  

Huh, and here I thought I'd wait and let Steve have this chance instead

Haven't driven the car again as I was busy trying to determine the most suitable FWD to me.

Ok, David, j'attend la réponse de Steve !

I am also testing it a bit now, but already surprised there's more negative camber at the back. Probably not gonna get below 37 with my setup, doing 37.2 though(Q).
