[Wiz]

I've decided to put up 2 or 3 of each new car on the server and have a track day at Nordschleife Tourist.

Cool. I only got in a couple of laps last night but wow, what a track. Can you throw up the old Alfa? Should probably change the OP title as well.👍👍

Ill try to join a bit if the server is still up 👍

 

[Wiz]

Can you throw up the old Alfa?

Oh absolutely! It might be my favorite car in the pack.

The Alfa 155 is also a blast to drive.

So rewarding to drive when you find its soft spot. Heel and Toe <3

I had a go in both of those Alfa's before my wheel went south again and really liked both of them. The GTA is probably the most enjoyable car I've ever driven in a sim (I also happen to think it's one of the best looking cars of all time). 👍

 

[Wiz]

Server is up I think. I got a new router and I'm not 100% sure I've got it all sorted out yet. Can anyone see/access the server?

 

[JvM]

Still up? I could try in a moment.

 

[Johnnypenso]

Thanks for hosting @Wiz👍.

 

[Johnnypenso]

I must say I rather enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of using the parking lot and the Tourist layout for the track. I think that's the "right" way of doing a track day server at the Nordschleife. I'd like to see them add some [optional] flag marshalls to hold you up as you exit the temporary barrier area and head out to the track. What they heck, go to town and put some German Sausage vendors in the parking lot, throw up a Heineken tent, a few frauleins to hold an umbrella in case it's raining or too hot.

 

[BrandonW77]

^ I fully support this plan, don't want my driver getting too warm in the sun before taking to the track. 👍 👍

Could be distracting though.

 

[Kurei]

Dang, wish I would've payed attention to this earlier, track-day using the Tourist-layout of Nurb would be awesome.

Anything tonight?

 

[Wiz]

Sorry guys. I just got home.

 

[BrandonW77]

Anything happening this Friday? I seem to be back in commission and would love to get some racing in before I have to tear my rig down for the big move.

 

[Wiz]

Yes, I'd like to run something this Friday. We rented a server and had to iron out some issues with it, but it seems to be ready to test now. The pings are a little higher than I'd like (about 125) but it's very stable.

I'd like to test the server with official content so let's do the BMW M3 E92 Step 1 @ Mugello this week. I'll update the OP as soon as I can. Keep an eye on server name and password, as they will be different.

 

[BrandonW77]

I'd vote for the Alfa GTA (I have a bit of a crush on that car), but the Bimmer will work too.

I have the Alfa GTA @ Hockenhiem DTM on the VCRC server if you want to try racing tonight.

 

[BrandonW77]

I won't be around this evening, but I do hope to race the GTA soon!

Happen to have a link for the track?

 

[BrandonW77]

Might be this one. http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/hockenheimring-1988.100617/

 

[Wiz]

I definitely want to run the GTA but I have a few guys that might join on Friday that don't have the Dream Pack yet.

Thats it. The full track doesn't load for me but the DTM track does.

It wouldn't for me at first, but then I reduced my replay file size and it worked fine.

 

[Wiz]

OP updated for Friday.

 

[BrandonW77]

I'll try to make it. I have a Teamspeak meeting with a couple of the RD guys but hopefully we'll be done by 8:30.

What do you normally set the track grip/temps at? I want to make sure I practice in similar conditions.

 

[Wiz]

Temperature cannot be set for online yet but I think it defaults to 28C if I remember correctly. Qualifying session starts at 98% grip and goes up from there.

 

[Kurei]

I'm going to try to make this, I'll have to adjust from formula-cars to the E92, but otherwise have been to mugello most of this week already. Anything I need to know about teamspeak or will Google have the answers tonight when I have some free time ?

I wrote this tutorial a while back and just now converted it over to pdf. Should get you up and running. 👍
