I'd love to race, but my Wednesdays are taken atm

LoudHoward · Post by **LoudHoward** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 3:43 pm

G'day guys, I just had a quick question. Have a mate who is thinking of possibly joining, but he has touch footy on after work on Wednesdays and wouldn't be able to race until mid-evening.

Anyways, the question, whats the usual time you guys would have qual then race?

Cheers!

I would really love to race, but im on over nights next week =( and with my car being stolen I have to catch the bus in, which means I have to leave earlyer to make it in, rather then waiting for race to finish and driving

any idea if anyone is working on Phillip Island for rF? i remember racing around there in Redline GTP for n2003, seemed like a good recreation of the track too

dont know if this is new to you all or not but i havent seen it used anywhere else.
http://www.vrl-simracing.be/rfactorreport/

any chance we could have the race results using this tool as well as normal write ups

they are using it on nz servers and is pretty useful info

they also do one for lfs

There was an old motorbike game called gp500 done by melbourne house, IIRC it had an excellent version of phillip island. NFI if it could be imported.

I've still got a copy of GP500 here, still fun to play when it is occasionally dusted off

Hi guys, if it's still free I'll take the #34 GRM. Although as mentioned by LH earlier I have touch footy Wednesday night and may miss Quali. It might be best if I am at the back out of the way anyway, because I'm a bigtime noob.

Sterling · Post by **Sterling** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 10:07 am

Purely out of interests sake and something I'm almost ashamed to admit it

but I took the Ford for a trondle around hidden valley and too my surprise after only a couple of laps I was a good half a second quicker than what I had done with the Holden

Is it just me or is the Ford easier to drive and less 'taily' than the Holden?

I think quality speaks for itself Sterlo

He he heeeee...cheeky bugger...............I might have to do a Loundsey and switch camps

SE1Z · Post by **SE1Z** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 10:38 am

interesting... never driven the holdens in the mod....
if what you are saying is true, I have no excuse for my lack of speed...

Sterling · Post by **Sterling** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 10:53 am

Well I had never bothered driving the Ford before but gave it a swing with the same setup I was using on the Holden and instantly went from a flat 1:08 to a 1:07.5.

The Ford seemed to have much better rear end grip out of the corners and I could get onto the throttle much quicker and harder, anybody compared the straight line speed of the two?

Exar Kun · Post by **Exar Kun** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 11:44 am

Both cars use the same physics as far as i know. But I've also found myself quicker in the Falcon - could just be the different cockpit view suits some people better. I haven't driven the Falcon around HV yet but I seriously doubt I'd be half a second faster. I'm about the right amount of time for myself off the top guys as it is.

LoudHoward · Post by **LoudHoward** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 3:46 pm

I think they're different, I feel the Holden is faster down the straights anyways, and is a bit more twitchy around the bendy bits. I found when I first started the Holden was a handful, and I could get to quite a nice pace quite quickly with the Ford, but it became difficult to push on to faster times.

The Holden was difficult to learn, and it took me longer to get down to the Fords time, but once I did I just breezed past it and currently I'm about 1 sec a lap faster with the Commodore around Bathurst.

GO GRM!
