Indroductions, If your new or old, why not introduce yourself :)

[Mr Fox]

G,day XGNers

I thought i would put this thread not only for the new people to introduce themselves but also the new people that might want to know a bit about the peeps already here!

Just quickly about myself, I got involved with XGN GTL season 1 a few years back and loved sim racing ever since. My main love is the Historic cars from the 60's 70's and some 80's. I love going to the Historic car meetings at Phillip island, Sandown and Bathurst. I take my sim racing pretty seriously but still remember its a game for fun. Sim racing is great as there are no repair bills at the end of the race and it's great to meet like minded people online into the same sort of cars. I also enjoy mocking up skins and few vids here and there from league races.

Hey all. I'm Scott and I am in the process of downloading all the stuff to make this happen. Can't wait. Was shown this place by Glen73 through a 240/260Z forum.
Cheers, look forward to racing.

Hi Guys,

I'm Sulio from Melbourne Vic. Also shown the forum and the sim by Glen. I've been playing with historix cars on the Bathurst track. Hope to get some practice and maybe join you guys on the next race, lakeside is it? 27th Aug!!!!!!

Really enjoying the sim racing even inspired me to bolt on the bigger calipers on my Z today!

Cheers,
Sulio

Bruce from Melbourne here, meet up with XGN in Season 2 of GTL some time ago, been hangin' around ever since.
Sim racing saves my sanity, saves my real car from being flogged and saves heaps of money with the "<Esc> key car rebuilds" after an "incident" (I never crash!)
Growing up with these cars, some on the streets some in the news and on tele, is still my favourite era of racing, so I will be here for a while.

[Prodgers]

Hi guys Paul from Melbourne here.

I raced V8COC when it was going and i also race at another league. I play the Historic-X mod every now and then - it is great fun to drive, challenging to get a good lap out of it.

I race karts most weekends which keeps me off the streets :playball:

[zr240]

HI All

this is my real life GT legend (Kind of)

Just about finished building it. Has treaded tyres but will be gettting slicks back on for the track :)


Ash

[Sulio]

Ash she's looking pretty hot mate. As Ash knows I'm also a Zedaholic. Any body know when the rFactor Zed will be ready. I found this WIP ICC car below. Are these WIP cars "in design cars"???

[rpo83]

Hi All,

Steve from Melbourne, i used to race XGn GTL but after the crash, i have been racing Power & Glory at NoGrip.

Bruce is responsible for me beeing here with his constant encouragement (i was going to use another term Bruce :))

Installed HistoriX last night for the first time and had a ball.

I still have major setup issues with my Hyperstimulator, but over the next couple of days i should be able to get it dialled (if i can concentrate, and not just have fun lapping)

I have owned a stack of GT Falcon's (a Ford man hence the forum name) and the odd XU-1 and A9x in my youth, i am also rather partial to oversteer :eyebrows: Thats why we all drive these mods i'm tipping. I drive a BF XR6 Turbo and have a couple of motorbikes.

See you all on the track.

Steve

[flattop]

Hey ZR240 and Sulio, you both know how to look after a car. Well presented and looking like they are performers.
Thanks for the pics.

[flattop]

Well I have learnt a couple of things "rpo83" = "RPO (Regular Production Option) 83," and your a Melbournite, I had a strange feeling you were a Qlder.
We probably have been passing each other on the road and maybe Sandown etc (in the crowd for me *smile*). I will give a wave to all the green late model utes I see from now on.

ohh and your polite to me too (-:

[rpo83]

If you follow the Group C racing, my old road car is racing in that now (mainly Sandown).

I used to own Kel Goughs A9X that he raced in the 77 ATCC. I purchased it off him in the mid 80's (God i feel old!) It was my road car for a couple of years. Hooplay who races with us at NoGrip bought it off me, then on sold it to another friend who restored it back to race condition (put the stripes back on it) i have a few photos i can post if anyone is interested.

I was interested in going to the Hill Climb last weekend, but i forgot all about it. I'll see you on the road at some time Bruce, thank for the encouragement.

Steve

Hi all!!

BJ here, found my love of simracing right here at XGN when i signed up for the first GT Legends season. Split my time for a while with GTR2 and rFactor early on. Fell outta love with rF for a while, but now with plugins like RealFeel and mods like Historix and NAGT et al, that lovin feeling as returned and am having a ball again :not_ripe:

Racing at ASRG, and signed up at AUSTEAM also........hectic life of a race driver..lol

[BJSRacer]

At the moment i am competing with iracing(skip barber 2000)against top racers all around the world......

Hey there 9metal :)........good to see ya mate........but, iRacing fanboy now :doh:

So, paying your monthly fee for the privilege of iRacing, which among other things, like cars, tracks etc, gives you the flow on privilege of saying your among the best in the world?.........damn, now we have a class society in simracing :(

oh just on that, i haven't tried iRacing yet, i eventually had a go a PAYG WoW, so i may get to PAYG iRacing as well, so feel free to tell me to go jump...... /OT Rant

[Golly]

G'day all, name is Justin, I started my Race Sim life here I believe in the Megane days with Gleno and Digz. Been a skinner for the Ausfactor Leagues for just on 2 years now. Was a painter in the Bathurst Legends Mod and now along with ESP we have created our own site, details in the sig and we are now involved in doing the 1980 ATCC mod for our beloved Sim. Big challenges ahead chaps, and if anyone wishes to help us out with photos and such please pop on by our forums for a hello.
Looking forward to racing here at XGN and its proved to be a great place to race with friends of all types of life. Good to be here and cya on track ! :bounce:

[redwog]

Fellas!

Name is redwog or Andrew and I started sim racing on xgn about 3 or 4 years ago doing a GTL league, then V8COC and a number of other rfactor leagues after that. Had a couple of kids over the last couple of years so simracing is difficult to squeeze in. I am coming back from a long time out and I am pretty rusty. Considering the low base I was coming from expect to find me at the back. Glen and 9metal are the guys I used to battle with so its nice to find them back.

Oh, can someone pm a praccy server pw or point me in the right direction? I just installed historicx mod and it seems nice!

[Mr Fox]

Team assfactor is pulling back together lol

Welcome back matey, all the PW's are the same "fasterxgn". Hope its not to long before your on the server again.

Hey BJ good to see you again...wtf? i am not the best in the world,but i`ll tell
you what my kids think i am the best dad in the world and thats true.

Honestly i have been very busy working in the past few months,and yes i am
a iracing fanboy,look, at first i was very,very skeptical,but i gave it a go and
it is the best sim around(a lot to improve)but the feel you have racing,and competing is unsurpassed by any other sim at the moment,it is pricey i know,but is good,the tracks are just something incredible,they seam alive,the handle of the car on the track is very entertaining lol.. best motorsport sim
...is not easy and forgiving though

i am still racing rfactor of course with the rfl guys,is nice to race in a club
i`d love to install historx and show off my skillZ to you guys(ehehehee)
but i had decided that after 2 years of no stop gtl i`d would not touch another gtl car....:fear:,sure i am happy to see 30 ppl signed up for the league cheers to Glen for his hard work...you never know i`d probably install it now lol lol

Terrific hearing from redwog...hello ciaooooo!!!

[scottmac]

Hi guys. I probably new to most guys here, but I used to race here when GT Legends first started off. I went in the first 3 or so seasons then jumped over to Rfactor with a bit of Race 07 as well.

Looking to have a casual race again every now and again but I cant commit to anything every week at the moment.

Cheers

[Bodie]

Hey Fella's

I'm William, I used to race with alot of the old guys here in the old GTL league, so i know what a great bunch of guys are involved in the community here, I got tempted away to rFactor by the gp79 mod and joined their league, and could'nt find the time to do both leagues. I loved the fact that rFactor was so easy to mod and ended up choosing that platform over GTL, I then got involved with the HistorX team and development of the GTL mod, so i'm pretty wrapped that it has been recieved so well, and XGN as adopted it for its own league, the mod took ages to complete but in my opinion and from real life experiences with these type of cars, i think it plays better than GTL, but then again i could be bias,

Cheers

My alias is Peter, about 6"1 in the old scale, built like a greek adonas in my dreams but when awake I'm a thoroughbred.
Been in sales, sales management all my life and, seem to enjoy it.
Hobbies thats a hard one, I'm like a compulsive obessive, what ever I'm doing I do 100% and you guessed it at the momment it's rfactor, I'll clarify not computers not web surfing just rfactor. So my computer skills are **** and i only know how to fps "bf2 and cod4" and now learning to drive.
But I'm going to be ****in good, just ask me.
So if you think I'm ignoring you or not responding properly, it's because I just don't understand.

I've had a G25 and rfactor for a couple of days now. Fantastic fun. I've found the V8's are a bit of a handful, the Legands are a fun little car to drive, the Meganes stick to the road like glue and Nippons are good fun. What should I do how do I get started online?

[yokelhama]

Was just reading through the intros and realised I haven't properly introduced myself. A born and bred KIWI [Insert sheep smilie here], have been in Melbourne for the past year and you Aussies haven't managed to scare me back home yet!

I'm only 28 years young so have never experienced in real-life all the cool cars you old blokes did/do in your youth. So sim-racing is as close to real racing I've been so far. I've played racing games since GP2 was on my Dad's laptop when I was really young and used to be a Playstation fanboi until a mate introduced me to GTL. Sadly my PC back then was a dog and couldn't run it very well so got into rfactor instead. So I was very very happy when Historx was released as it's by far and away the most fun mod I've ever played IMO and at least my GTL disk didn't go to waste.

I have a pretty cruisy attitude so I'll never be the fastest racer, but hey I have heaps of fun no matter where I am in the pack. Really looking forward to mixing it up with you guys in Season 3 and beyond! Oh yeah you can call me Rob too btw :)

Hello Reaps, man so pleased you found your way here on what appears to be a long path. I had sent many bulk emails out to all the email addresses I had but realised there were many missing, and now I know your one.
Things are happening here, we have had a couple of fantastic seasons getting all the parts together and having many of the drivers settle themselves in (or out as the case may be),
but I do know you are going to enjoy the competitive FUN racing here.
Welcome back.
Have to get yourself organised for the couple of fun runs left for this year, the password is still the same, see you on the track.

[Skaife]

Hey everyone some of you probably know me but a lot of you probably dont as well. I use to run the v8coc championship over here before the forums died.

Welcome on board Goo:not_ripe:, Glen I will set him up tonight for racing can you let me know if there are anyone else looking for a racing partner?

[Acerlyte]

Hello folks, i'm hoping to come back to some racing and I thought I ought to do the right thing and post in here (since I am a lazy bugger for not doing it before). Some of you might know me and some might not.

I've done a bit of racing on and off with XGN for a while and have tried to pitch in when I can but I am not the most commited fella around. Thankfully we have great blokes like Glen and Bruce around who put in the herculean effort instead. It's thanks to them and folks who roll up week in, week out and help out others with driving tips and settings etc that make up a good community like this. :thumb: I'm a QLD boy with a (patient)wife and two kids, although one is still on the way ;). Always been a bit keen on cars and racing although my interest lies primarily in older touring cars, always grab the Muscle car masters DVDs when come out :).

Anyway, hope to join you guys online soon and look forward to some good racing!

Cheers!
Michael

hey Acer, good to see ya again mate......welcome back

[Paul Keeghan]

cant remember if i have posted in this post or not.

Anyway my name Paul Keeghan in rfactor, as the other league i race (digitalslipstreams World Endurance Series (WES) and ILMS Endurance league) in demands real names.

Had joined up here last year for some HistorX action but never got around to it, have just downloaded TCL and having soo much fun, heaps different from what im used to driving in rFactor. Even if the only thing i have tried so far is the TWR dunnydore :P.

I have no real racing experience but have attended a few trackdays at Sandown and one at Winton, which are bloody awesome fun. Should be heading out to Sandown in the next few months too (heres hoping).

Glad you made your way back here Paul, and we certainly agree on the fun factor on this mod too.
Have a look around and join in for the inter league if you have the time.
Your welcome to join in on the HistorX too.

cya on the track

[Paul Keeghan]

Already registered in the interleague.

Hey All,

Newbie to XGN, also Newbie to league racing, but regularly run rfactor with friends.

I Found XGN on the league listing on rfactorcentral, was looking for an aussie league that wasn't V8's. I'll probably start off with the one-off races if I'm welcome, and maybe join either the historx or tcl championship as well.

Hello Crash, glad you found your way here. Excellent introduction to us by jumping in the one off races and don't forget the interstate shoot out coming up between seasons...

Look forward to see you the track...

[ORA-Phase3]

Hey guys.
Thought I would drop by. Not sure how much I will be able to race especially if the races are on Wednesdays but even if I can't I will probably drop in the server for a spin during practice every now and then :D
See you on the track

Hi Phase3, welcome mate. Looking at your taste in cars I think the HistroX certainly is one area here that may satisfy.


Lets hope you get the opportunity to get into some races with us as well, we welcome all who enjoy sim racing here, and always pleased to see a skilled long term racers here contributing too.

See you on the track...

[jaMEs]

Hello everyone,
I'm James or JamesRacer (depending on whether I've screw up my profile). I'm a lead developer working with Flattop here in Melbourne.
This is my first forray into sim racing (need for speed was my only other racing attempt if that counts). I've just got my first wheel (G25) and im playing this on a Mac laptop.
I'm learning about this heel&toe thing; it's more like head&toe&floorit&crash but anyway.
I've raced a few times, in Historix and Touring Cars and am really enjoying it. My 2yr old likes to stand on a chair next to me and give me advice; like don't crash dad... I don't seem to be listening.
As I don't own a car in real life anymore this is essential to my sanity so see you all around.

[Imperious]

Welcome aboard James,

BTW, it is easy to change Your profile name in Rfactor, just rename the Folder and .plr file and it's done.

Rfactor\userdata\James and then in the James folder the james.plr file

[wid]

Hello,

My name is Brad, but have used the 'nick' wid for about 18 years in some form or another...

I have raced in open wheeler leagues and also console (i know it is different) and a bit of single player (from Geoff someone Grand Prix?) and enjoy my racing..

To say I am hopeless at car setups is an understatement, but it is still fun..

I havent raced Historic GT mod before, and have ordered the GTL (as i think i need it?) and have only played the TCL's on the rfactorcentral 5 lap races on racenet.. and even then i was way slow.. but they were cool...

Anyways.. I normally race with a couple of my mates once a week or what not with FSONE 2008, but one of my other mates & I would like to race in tin tops in a bigger league... and XGN ive raced with before.. so here i am :P~

I look forward to it!

brad/wid

[BJSRacer]

Welcome wid, you will not only enjoy this league for the quality of the driving here, but also for the limitless generosity and camaraderie of all the guys.

top bunch of blokes here..... :thumb:

PS.... I'm probably the grumpiest of the lot, so that should indicate how good they are :D

[Mr Fox]

Welcome Wid, good place to start for sure and it doesnt matter if your fast or slow just as long as everyone enjoys themselves. Private lessons will be commencing very shortly on the way to beat BJ.

[flattop]

Welcome wid, I can't add anything to what has already been said, but will re-iterate, you will enjoy the racing/camaraderie here.

Yep you will need a GTL install disc, so as soon as that arrives you will be ready for practice...
Just remember, if unsure at any point, just ask, you will always get a correct answer here.

[Paul Keeghan]

welcome brad.

[Crash]

Welcome wid

Your background sounds similar to mine - ran rfactor (for fun) with mates once a week, played Geoff Crammond's grand prix (and Grand Prix 2), some console racing (my console driving is limited to Gran Tursimo on the ps)

Don't worry too much about setups, as BJ said, there's plenty of generosity here so if you need a setup just ask.

Hope to see you on track soon

[NineTen]

Hey boys,

Im Steve, Wid's mate. I have always been into racing games & have been using rFactor for a fair while now. Have raced with F1A XGN guys a couple of years ago and now race with brad and some mates with FSONE 2008.

Was addicted to GTL when it first came out. Also was addicted to TCL & racing on the rfactor central server.

Looking forward to having some good clean racing with you all. Should be fun.

[Paul Keeghan]

welcome mate.

[Matt1971]

G'day racers,

Matt here. I raced a few GTL leagues until everything went pearshaped with the site a while back. Always loved it and am really looking forward to doing some racing with the good folk at XGN again. All set up now after some fantastic help from RPO (LEGEND!) I struggle with the PC side of things and really appreciate the help I get here.

I did iRacing for a while and whilst it is a great sim, it just didn't have that club feel...

I love my sim racing and love nothing better than a good clean ding dong battle with someone no matter where in the field it is. Don't care if it's for 1st or for 21st.

Look forward to seeing you on the track.

[rpo83]

Great to see you back Matt,

Time to resume our battles from the old days.......

You will have a ball here, i foresee some epic battles in S5, with very close racing :bananapartyhat::bananapartyhat::bananapartyhat:

[flattop]

Welcome back Matt, great to catch you on track last night too and pleased that rpo has got you set-up and your rearing to go!

[RiffRobin]

Hi I'm RiffRobin aka Riff, RiffRaff. Hope to grab the TC65 Alfa & go racin, just as soon as I figure out whats going on.

Cheerz Riff :thumb:

[flattop]

Hi RiffRaff, welcome to XGN in general and TCL racing.

We have an HistorX season coming up soon and may not have any TCL till early next year, but don't dismay, The HistorX is full but there is an 'extras' list if your interested and there are some other fun runs on...
One should be announced today, it will be next week either Monday or Wednesday ( 2 or 4th Nov) using one of the rFactor mods closely related to our racing preferences...
Just keep looking, I will attempt to remember to PM you when it is announced...

See you on the track soon...

[Squiffy]

Hey guys,

I could almost copy & paste Matt's post - I participated in a few seasons of GTL here, but lost touch with it when XGN went down. I did try iRacing in the interim, but found that I couldn't really commit enough time to it.

I decided to check out XGN a few days ago on a whim and was glad to see that a lot of familiar faces were around, and that the community was still alive and kicking.

Hopefully I'll see you all on track for the start of the season. :)

A big WELCOME to all the new guys that have join up in the last couple off weeks :not_ripe::not_ripe:

[maxlev]

Max
short, bald, grey beard, 50.

Got into sim racing with Toca.

Ventured online not long after GTR1 came out.

Heaps of good racing at v8league and later mumnfats. Mini 7's at GBGTL.

Ran Hulme sim racing for a while but when the grid dropped to sod all, I got the fukits, sold up and shot thru on my yacht for a 2 yr break.

Raced a Yam RD350 briefly at Puke late 70's, crapped off good coming over the hill, way too sore to continue.
Spent a fair bit of time under the bonnet of Mini "22" and a P76 powered RX7 hillclimb car.

I don't like to practice too much now, just grin and bear it, and if the car still runs, never give up.

A big HELLO XK289, your've made my day mate! :) Very pleased for you to drop in and see us.

How is that purple XK going, hope you have done some pleasurable miles in it now. I haven't been to as many car events as i did once, but always had a look for your car, without success.

Still getting around, still about the same pace and placings hehehe but still getting plenty of enjoyment out of some the rFactor mods, especially Historics.

Certainly hope you get the bug again, we currently have some great 'sliding' action on in the Historics "Monday, I have Wednesday on my Mind" with a selection of GT-65s.

Cheers,
Bruce

[MXN]

hi everyone! i'm Anton, living in Russia) i have been looking for some historic leagues with clean, gentle and fast drivers that like old cars and found XGN, i think it's exactly what i was looking for)) i hope to spend some races with you, not all the season because then at summer's end i should to move to the studying where i haven't game PC (what a shame...)

[Paul Keeghan]

Unfortunately XGN only caters for Australian and New Zealand Racers. To race close without incident requires a low ping. Unless you can race on the server with a constant ping of lower than 100-150 I'm not sure we would be able to accommodate you. But by all means contact Crash via PM and he might be able to hook you up with a test so see what you ping like on our servers.

[nightojnr]

Hey guys, im Terry hoping to have a run for the rest of the season :-) Finally found somewhere that runs these cars, absolutly love them!

[Cozmo]

Hey, Im Corey ( Cozmo ) from the little town called Bathurst ( Its bloody cold LOL )

I started my Sim Racing here at XGN back in 07 with V8COC,

Since then ive spent most my time racing V8s now moved on from that to running a League most of you know AOLR ( Endurance Series League ) but also LOVE!!! this mod so like terry will try make all race's for the rest of the season,

Cyas on track

[auspacer]

Great to see you here guys!! There has been some great racing so far this season so you should have some fun. Catch ya on track :)

[flattop]

Good'ay Terry and Corey, pleased to see there are more out there that LOVE this mod... Hope you to see you on the track tonight...

And it's pretty cold here in Melbourne in the mornings too :)

[vandem]

so ... I'm a Kiwi, mid-40s, been sim-racing from 10? years ago, started with EA Sports Car GT off-line, IIRC using a Celeron 400 with Voodoo2 8MB video card, single-axis Dexxa plastic wheel.

Had GPL for a couple of years before upgrading PC enough to run it, using MS Sidewinder wheel. Discovered on-line racing about the time GPL 65 mod came out. Raced with NZ league then with OzRacers, then for a while with MelbourneGPL. Was admin for a GPL league at KiwiSimRacing for a couple of years. Then moved across to rF, again admin for several KSR leagues. (KSR racing forum here: http://www.kiwisimracing.net.nz/forum/viewforum.php?f=4). Now using G25 + Obutto frame / seat.

Love the HistorX mod, have run a TC-65 league and a GTC-76 league at KSR. Both times we included a 1 hr Ring enduro which was a challenge! Also enjoyed a recent KSR enduro series using the WSC70 mod, running 1.2 and 2.4 hr races (e.g. 24hr Le Mans at 10 x time scale).

In RL I am a fan of Italian motors, have owned Fiat and Lancia in the past, currently have an Alfa and a smallframe Vespa (and a boring family wagon).

[Powerslave]

Hey there,,

have had rFactor for a few years,, raced on another server with the V8's mod a while back moved house and sort of put it down had much more other stuff to do...... until a few months ago when I decided to take to an old desk with a circular saw and build a sim rig.... dusted off the old G25 and found my old copy of rFactor been playing a lot of FSone09 and have just discovered the how too's of painting and the Historic GT mod.....

looking forward too meet and/or racing against you in the near future.

[flattop]

Nice to have you with us vandem, although your too close to me in your first races! :) Your CV explains your driving, welcome and sry for only noticing this now...

[flattop]

I noted your times in the midseason posts, looks like another one at the pointy end, see you on wednesday Powerslave,

[devilracer87]

Hi,

I've been racing at XGN since the start of the V8 Supercar series earlier this year.

I'm a 23yo kiwi that has a nice shiny new G27 wheel. I'm a computer technician and have an evil sense of humor.
I've missed a few weeks racing due to a shoulder injury. I'm happy to say it has healed and I'm back.

I'll be enduring the torments of the HistoriX racing and having a thrash at everything in the Saturday factor and V8 threads.

See you all on track.

[auspacer]

Hey Vandem & Powerslave, glad to have you guys racing with us on Wednesdays. I am sure you will enjoy your time at XGN :)

[LordOfTheRims]

Hi guys,

I finally accepted Flattop's invitation to join in on the Historix racing at XGN. I've been racing online for exactly 6 years, starting with TRD2 on Playstation 2, making the transition to rFactor on pc a little over a year ago. I race in a variety of mods with NOS, Xfactor, ORA and Ausfactor and I'm a big fan of Historx. Hope to meet up with you all on-track soon.

Hola Rims, pleased you have the time to come and race here mate. You just missed one of the best seasons of Historics that was put on here, (like the old surf addage, "should have been here yesterday"), but great things are still in the pipe line. The Fun "Goodwood" night, I think you will do well there! And the the TCL Series to finish off the year will be a cracker too.

Welcome.

[auspacer]

Hey Rims, welcome to XGN, hope you have a blast in the Goodwood race, and Flattop is right, the last Historics season was huge but hopefully the next TCL season will be just as big if you have the time.

[LordOfTheRims]

Thanks guys. I got the TCL image to run Histrx but I haven't actually had a go at TCL itself, I'll have to find out how to install it.

I'm having trouble finding the password for the server and I need it for Vent too.

HI ya Rims, sorry to be so succinct, it was a flying visit to the site and only had a moment to get some information to you. Didn't want to think you were unloved :hug:

No worries m8. It takes me a while to find my way around a new forum, I've only just found how to set email notifications so I can keep an eye on the threads I post in.

Lol, finish the house I'm renovating at the moment :P. I'm planning to be done by early December so the owner can move in.

[Jouni]

g´day from Finland. Jouni´s the name (Yo-kne) but was called "John" back in the 60s when i lived in Sydney, Old Guildford. We came back to Finland in 68, since then got married in 74, we got 3 kids and the youngest has made us Grandparents, so im ok with the Grandpa title if you like. Ive taken a year off work to rock the little girl on my rocking chair, but while she´s at her home im fine to do some online racing with you guys.
Signed up for season 10 as old 60-70 cars are my passion. The day times (round midday) for me are just great right after breakfast. Only possable problem (might) be the distance/ping to your server. Yesterday test showed 370 ping. If its a problem, i will bail out as dont wanna spoil you guys fun.
Ive raced online since Nascar 2k3 and i think Glen73 was a member of WRRacing back then, and think we raced together (trucks) back then. I got rF right when it was released and have been racing online all this time. WRRacing is best known for Caterham league racing.

anyway, signed up and ready for season 10, hope the net distance dosnt cause problems, ready to go and hope to cya on track. Will also tune into TS to brush up my fading aussie accent.

[auspacer]

Hi and welcome to the forum. I hope that you are able to race with us and that your ping doesn't cause too much hassle. Its a great fair league and i am sure you will enjoy racing here.

Hi

Barry from Townsville here. I was introduced to this site by Bruce (flattop) after buying a Fanatec wheel off him on Ebay last weekend. I haven't raced online for years - since the days of Dirt Track Racing and DTR Sprint Cars in the early naughties. I mainly race offline - main aim is to beat myself hehe. Anyways, thought I might give the End of An Era Series a go. Sounds like a lot of fun. Hope to catch up with you soon. Also, haven't posted in a forum for a long time, so my apologies in advance if I haven't got this quite right.

Hi Barry and welcome to XGN. I am sure you will find some fun, friendly and fair racing here :) Make sure to follow the links and sign up for Season 10 at the SLS site. Let me know if you have any issues or questions. Other than we will see you on track.

[bazz]

G'day mate. Sounds like my kind of people and racing, looking forward to having some fun. Got one question for you - how do I know which server to log on to, and the password?? I have signed up for Season 10, and selected my car, but I can't seem to find anything about actually connecting to the server. Any help would be appreciated.

Taa muchly

[bazz]

All good-found it. I swear it wasn't there before - truly.

[flattop]

Hola Bazz,
pleased to see your intro and the group suits your intentions. There is plenty of clean fun racing here, it caters for all levels, even mine.

As Auspacer said, any trouble just ask, there are many here who will assist. Get a little practice in and it will be good to see you on the track asap...

Cheers.

[bazz]

Heya flattop

Yeah, sounds like a really fun place to be. Looking forward to seeing you on the track. Logged onto the server last night just to check out how it all works, so that's one step in the learning curve :)
