[Sprinterboy]

another side to you (if taking the band literally).

[SpeedFreak]

Got to love a car with bucket loads off front end push :)

[rpo83]

And i see there is another side to you Jeff....

You are one of those weird "ORANGE" people.........

Do you have matching orange riding gear :doh:

Nice time........:)

[SpeedFreak]

Do you have matching orange riding gear :doh:I just had my chest and legs waxed ...so the orange shorts just highlight my figure :fear:

[sco_aus]

Damn Jeff, you fine as!!



In a non homosexual way.

[BJSRacer]

2:09:8 as well, but i will need ur setup if i am to go faster master jeff :D


and no piccies just have to trust me........

[sco_aus]

I can vouch for him, i had no chance of keeping up

[rpo83]

Thought i'd better see what this track is like, spent a couple of hours mucking around, i reckon that there is a 2:07 in this track....

I got close, very close :bananapartyhat:

RPO's on the money, 2:07's are there, although i'm still a second off that

[J Alesi]

Hi Guys

Having probles getting on to srfers paradise track, I have downloaded the track but every time i connect it says im missing surfersparadisef3.scn.

Dose anyone know what im doing wrong?

[rpo83]

Hey J,

Just try and re install the track.

The file you are missing is a 39KB file that should be in your SurfersParadiseF3/SurfersF3 folder.

Maybe your is corrupt??

[sco_aus]

I'm down to 1.10s, but i need to be able to left foot brake to get faster and i cant with the wingman. Ohh well, hopefully have a G25 for season 4.

don't forget to wave as you overtake me (2:15s) :drama:

[rpo83]

Don't worry to much Bruce, this track has a nasty habit of taking its toll on those of us who push, i bet that 50% of the starters DON'T finish.

Turn 1 and the S's on the back straight, is where most of the time is made, and where most of the race ending crashes will occur.

If you want to win, you almost need an all or nothing mentality, should be interesting :Banane20:

i forgot to take it in game, in my rush to check how liberal i was with kerbs...... just a little on the exit of 2nd chicane i swear.......:whistle:

[rpo83]

Well that's it, it's all over,

Nobody said anything about 2:06's :alien: :tape:

I have about 20MB of bandwidth left for this month, i had better jump on and use it.

Hopefully i'll see some of you on about 8:30 :)

[rpo83]

Just did a few laps,

BJS joined me then...... Daveo555 made an appearance :fear:

I think he thought we were recreating "the Italian job" I think he may have mapped the handbrake!!!!! Never seen so many stunts in my life :bounce:

Well 2:07's are possible with a race setup, i just did a 2:07.187.

Don't know how many laps i can do before i become a statistic at those speeds though. When you get it right it certainly is 110% commitment :fear:

[Wally]

I may or may not be there on Wed night... it depends on when I get back from drinks and how much I've had to drink :party:

[Mr Fox]

Work is getting right in the way atm so im going to have to miss 1 or 2 fun runs :( If there is someone around that has admined rfactor and you want to do it wed night let me know, i can bring you up to speed on the grid.edit program that i use :)

[rpo83]

It seems all very quiet in here.....................

What is involved Glen, i am pushed for time this week, and my refrigerator died last night:censored: I will be out until 8:00 - 8:30 tonight if no one else steps up let me know, i'll probably stuff it up though :fear:

Where is that lazy team mate of mine, he is a SA he could probably help, what do you say Russ????????????

I will be there (unless dead), I have the admin commands, I have "GridEdit" and savvy that part, If you believe I won't use it for evil, :evil:
I will need all the other guff, do you ssh to the server? passwords etc.
As to missing the races, at least it is only the fun runs and not a 'life threatening, points related races'. :heh:
ps will probably set up some other fun runs for the month of Jan as I expect there will be a few and we could cover some tracks and cars combos.

[rpo83]

Thanks Bruce,

The temptation to use all that power for evil was very enticing, who knows what may have happened?

One note, i have experienced warping on Surfers, it is the only track this year where i have seen it :fear:

Question: what are Mini 1310's? Are there Minis with a slightly bigger engine?

yep in real life that was the safe max to bore them without using off set bores etc.

[Wally]

Thanks, found 'em.
