I have been sorting out in between what has detained/distracted me for the last week, re-setting up rig after Cart88 race where I raced away from home(more on that....maybe, in Cart thread-basically, what could have been a total cluster£#(< of a race, where I was extremely luck to have a DNF on lap 197(lead lap).

Hopefully, by 17:30CET I should have the engine running.....I really want to be ready, but just can not guarantee it, @ this point in time. Should the car be made available, apparently, I am in possession of a half decent setup (Dont quote me on that post race )

The car - #77 Ford Mondeo.

Although I will be "In Situ" in time for free practice, there is a slight possibility (10-20%) that I will not have turned a wheel in Btcc for AMS (Done rF version for whole season with same car with satisfactory(?) success.

Official server is now setup and running.

I'll close down the Procar server closer to the event.

Edit-2:-

I think I might just make it by 19:00CET.

i experience some problems with my video card driver crashing every 10 minutes during automobilista.

Just ran furmark and prima95 + different other much more demanding games without any problems.

Any ideas, what could cause that problem?

(also completely reinstallt video driver + tested beta driver, had this problem only on AMS before, but not that massive)

Run the graphics config again and see if there is a safe setting. Disable all post effects, antialising etc and just run your native desktop res.

where is the puking smiley??

i'll try my best, also set max_framerate = 60
hope it works now

Q1 starts now, 15 mins

I haven't forgotten, I'm just running late!

This mightme a troublesome event for me. Already avoiding to spin is a thing, but the FWD also causes rather harsh vibrations after like 1 or 2 laps because of the spins under braking.

If I don't get accustomed soon, I might have to think about stepping back actually.

Too bad I missed out on the RWD and AWD cars

out no way to remtry

Server is back up

Pascal its not banger racing ,my car is free for the rest of season

I'm sorry Steve, it was my brakes that locked up which resulted in me hitting you.

Race 1 finished, Q2 in 3 mins

Q2 started, 10 mins and warm up bypass to get on schedule

Hardware issue in race 2, couldn't change gears. Guess the sequential mode on my TH8RS is acting up, had that issue earlier today but got it fixed then. Bummer, wanted to double up on the podium.

lost connection in race 2 at the opening laps fun drive in race 1 though. Changed setup for race 2, but well.

First race I had to manage with a slow setup but with some luck finished 10th.

Second race I received Honza's setup which helped a lot (Almost beat Honza in Q ) I was too eager to pass Oyvind and chrashed my car. Soryy Oyvind if I scared you

For next race I'll have to setup my wheel better because it's not turning to my liking.

Looking forward being more competative for Team Peugeot

Kind of forgot how to drive it seems since I've been away.

Went into Cezariusz into Q1, only had 85% throttle the whole time and was miles off the pace throughout the race, ended P20.

Massive apologies to Dave in the second race, went into T1 together and somehow a light tap (or at least it felt light from where I was sitting) ended up in him barrel-rolling off the track. Waited up for him before struggling on, going off a few times and eventually giving up.

Presuming I'm not given an event ban for being an idiot, which I expect probably will happen, hopefully I've regained some semblance of skill for Brands/Thruxton.

Destruction derby is all I have and say
I also had to drive with qvalsetup in race 2, asked if it was parc ferme, the management said no, but it was wrong.

wow - that was quick

i hope you reconsider that decision

Unfortunately the server reset the Parc Ferme despite me trying to sort it out.

Will have to look at it for next event what needs to be done for it to work properly but hopefully it'll work without flaw next time, sorry for the inconvenience in that regard

If you have things you want us admins to look at, Report it via PM to either me or another admin.

Oyvind - check your petal axis settings, your brake lights were blinking and on for some straightaways.  just turn up the bottom deadzone on your brake till the axis shows no input


Steve P - i just kept the laguna warm for ya. please reconsider keeping the car.
