Good to hear, sounds like it's less distracting that way.
It definitely is, even though it takes away from the track a bit because you don't feel like you're in a city, which is one of the cool parts about the track... not that the unfinished scan was extremely city-like as well but you could still tell buildings, streetlights, etc.

Now it just feels like a regular track with no backdrop / scenery.

It will be at the Glen tonight - I'll be on around 7 ish and should have the first session up at 730. Hope to see you all then... hoping for a really great turnout, with all the nice GT3s.

Do we have a B2O livery for the Mercedes?
I've got one P but haven't released it yet because there are some outstanding issues that need addressing before I'll consider it complete.

I can upload it tonight when I get home though so it's available for anyone who wants to drive it.

I turned about 10 laps with full fuel (I assume this is correct?) and I'm pretty sure I'm well off the pace. I've never seen this track before and my laps so far are around 1:52.5. Try not to hit me as you lap me :eek:

I turned a few laps with full fuel (I assume this is correct?) and I'm pretty sure I'm well off the pace. My laps so far are around 1:52.5. Try not to hit me as you lap me :eek:
Full fuel is correct. I cannot recall my laptimes from last night. It depends on the weather and all that you selected, time of day, etc. I want to say, with fast weather, I was hitting high 1:49s. But again, the weather I was in was about as fast as you could make it. You're not horribly offpace... just stay consistent and safe and you're fine... you gotta work off that rust. we have all sorts of skill levels in the league, from alien to new drivers.

Thanks Daunt. The laps were safe laps, ie. no chance of spinning it and playing safe. I'm sure with more experience of the track I will speed up a little bit, but not high 49's lol

Also, I'm using the base setup for the Merc, I'm a driver not an engineer so I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to setups. Never have beyond calculating fuel and changing tyres... :rolleyes: I know in the past I've had someone send me a setup in iRacing and instantly I'm 2-3 seconds faster so I know it does make a difference although I'm not sure if you guys are allowing custom setups for the league? Ah well I'll just look forward to making up the numbers tonight ;)

So you're like Cole Trickle? Haha.

The last season we have not allowed beyond base setups, but I'm allowing them just for tonight's race. There are some on the iRacing forums, and when we're practicing before the race, anyone using a custom setup will have to share it so everyone has the opportunity to try it and race it. (AKA you can't have a great setup and not share it)

The base for the Merc is pretty good though.

You've spent no seat time in GT3's by comparison to everyone in the League P so focusing on getting around clean should be your only concern. Because it is our League that we're trying to promote it's far more important that you run clean and let the speed come as you progress.

Starting next week we'll be back up and running our normal Mon-Wed-Fri Practice Pals routine so you can join us anytime to turn laps.

You'll be up to speed in no time.

I was actually going to post this clip on how I'm feeling about iRacing at the moment and then you go ahead and say that :lol:

I'll focus on running clean Duke (Harry) don't worry. I'll be on my best behavior as well as I haven't touched a wobbly pop in about a month :p

Ok well I'll be idle in Teamspeak later so hopefully I can get some tips later on. It's good to be back though :)

And we have another Racer returning for this race, Quicksilver is joining in tonight too :icon_cool: Can someone approve his request to join the league please? I'm so pleased I'll have some rear lights to look at as I lap round :p

Sorry guys but a change of plans for me. I'm not going to be here at all tonight as I'm going to a friends place to possibly secure some Web business with his Father in Law.

I've just stopped by home quickly to upload the B2O Endurance Mercedes as per P's request.

The paint can be previewed and downloaded in this thread: http://bandofothersgaming.com/forum/showthread.php/1804-B2O-Paint-Schemes-for-iRacing?p=28529#post28529

Have a great race all and welcome back P and Quuuuiiiiiiicccccccckkkkkkksiiiiiiillllllvvveeeeeeeerrrrrrr.

I'm nowhere near good enough to even be on the same track. Sorry guys. I should probably stick to Rocket League or Project Cars with the AI turned down. Thanks for the help though, I thought it was best I didn't join the race as I'd only be in the way. Ah well at least I only wasted £30-ish finding out I'm still shite at iRacing. C'est la vie.

Ah come on man. You were great for your first day back. You cannot expect to come back and be better than us who drive 4-5 times every week. It takes a lot of practice. Just keep at it. No one thinks your a road block... everyone has different skill levels. Just hop on during the week when we do practice pals. It's all about fun.

The amount of practice we put in P shows off, speed is gained through a lot of seat time. Shouldn't give up just yet, spend some time in practice pals and the speed will come.

Great race all. Really unfortunate - we ran into a major bug with iRacing.... all the Mercedes, after pitting and changing tires, had some sort of issue where a tire got put beneath the ground which caused a flat / ruined tire. So every pitted Merc was killed very fast.

Still a fun night and some great racing moments.

I actually had a frikkin decent race, never thought it would end up with me in 3rd and 0 incidents.... if only it was for my license ;)

Thanks guys, really enjoyed tonight.

And P, prepare your anus, we're going to work on your consistency!
