I know the feeling re the arms ! I tend to like very strong FFB settings but on rF2 it's nearly impossible as the slightest flat spot on the tyres will translate into me, my desk and the all room shaking to 6.4 Richter scale magnitude .

Weird about that #35 thing. I'll try and look into it, maybe it's something on our end. Anyways - that'll work for the Shadow

I dont think it is your end,i just uninstalled all 79 mod,then reinstalled and still both Alfas offline,but only one online also i have only one shadow offline lol

That is to honor Frank's signature: Thou shalt not train

Will the Shadow be quicker Steve? I admit it was a bit of a heartbreaker to see in the livestream Vladislav run away with the race like that, I know he is also HSO now but still I was rooting for the old pals, David and Greg and hoped them to take the fight closer to the new kids in town 

Still, congrats to Vladislav who did exactly what he was expected to do, faultless race from him

Sounds more like you have some driving aids on when offline though Dan, like autoblip ?

Didn't know autoblip was an option that I could have enabled! Thanks.

Hehe yes well us historic racing fans tend to be conservative and don't like change much I guess ! But it's good to have fast new blood on board . I hear Georgy is silly-fast as well . I'm sure newcomers to rF2 like Greg or Jan will only get better with time. And if not I guess we'll have to take Martin out of his box, inflate him (you don't want to know where the air intake valve is ) and sit him in the Merzario and see what gives .

Not quicker m8,but at least its not an oversteering piece of junk lol,mainly because it has no front wing adjustment if you lower rear wing to balance it,wheelspin mayhem and no grip at all too much rear wing and wheelspin no grip lol

Ah sounds a lot like the Coyote Foyt we are using at the USAC74 series (Ask Czesariusz, he is driving it  ) , that "sports car" nosecone is more aerodynamic but being unable to adjust it means you only can trim the car with the rear wing so yeah either understeer and some wheelspin or neutral with loads of wheelspin. The Coyote though is the quickest shit in the field, but compared with these 79 F1s it has no ground effects and the 800+ HP turbocharged V8 makes the wheels spin in 4th gear 

I reckon it was designed for turning left at Indy, I don't dare imagine what it would be to drive it at Imola  

I thought I was sure it was there, but in truth, I also just drove them offline so far so didn't notice the issue.

Alfa, Arrows and Brabham are still kinda fine to me without wing(although both Alfa and Brabham adopted a wing form some races while Arrows started the season with the old A1).

@Frank: Don't make him sign his (last) will by driving that shoebox on wheels.

At least the car smelled nice

Booking for the series is now open, you have until January 15th (21:00 CET) to post your three choices of cars here.

Hello everybody! Am I too late to register for this championship? You still have a free Ensign, Merzario and Alfa cars, or I misunderstood the situation..

Not too late (That date was just for the initial allocation) You are still able to "claim/declare an interest in a certain car(s), and the admin will confirm. You can also "claim" a one off if someone declares there absence for a particular race.

Thanks for reply!

I choose

#35 Bruno Giacomelli
#22 Derek Daly

I guess these cars are suitable for a rookie )

No probs....(I am not admin btw) However....I am wrong about claiming a car of an absent driver (all I can recommend, is you read the rules more carefully than I did (And English is my first language.......apparently)
Admin will confirm your choice in good time.

Hi Evgeniy and welcome .

That'll work for the #35 Alfa-Romeo If you can't select it online (as apparently it sometimes happen with this mod), just use the #36 for the race, and we'll edit the files afterwards .

Thanks for explanation! I'm glad to take part in your racing league) will try not to finish last in every race, my modest purpose for the first attempt

Glad to have you

I don't know how experienced you are with full distance GP races, but finishing is sometimes already its own reward in such races ! Especially early in the season and with a new sim/mod for many of the participants there will be cheap points to take imho for those who will reach home, even if they're in a very slow car.

Welcome aboard Evgeniy and don't worry about being slow, I am too and I admin this series...

About the missing Alfa-Romeo online. Turns out it's a bug in the mod - when we create the package for the server, one of the two Alfas is excluded from the process. One time it's #35, another #36. Maybe some misnamed files somewhere in there that trick the program into thinking there is only one Alfa-Romeo .veh.

So, Evgeniy and Matthias : just pick whatever Alfa is available when you join the server. We'll edit the files to make it look right in the race results. There might be a fix for this, but in the meantime let's do it like that .

Hmm c'est bizarre mais il doit y avoir une solution. Je vois ça cette aprem quand je rentre du taf

Uuurrrgghhh,,,,,,,#24 please.

OK Mickzario

The field is now complete, all cars have a driver .

If you wish to participate say so in this thread and you will be placed on the waiting list. Drivers on the waiting list will be sorted by order of registration to said list. When a car is freed by its regular driver, the first driver on the waiting list is offered the ride for the remainder of the season. If he declines it, the second driver on the list is offered the drive, and so on until the car finds a driver.

Hi, I'd like to join you. If a car is released. All signed riders will participate this Sunday?

Hi Tomáš and welcome !

All designated drivers might no participate Sunday but their cars will not be made available for one-off drives, as per the rules.

You are first on the waiting list though, so bound to grab a car sooner than later .
