Hey guys, just so you all know, I have no wheel now for a few weeks, it has gone back to Thrustmaster under warranty to France as the bearings inside managed to end up rattling about on the inside of the casing. Posted it today. Gutted lol

Pit Lane Penalty is an App that is compulsary to use this season, here is a link to a video explaining it and the best way to manage it to avoid getting a drive through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TLPBEHjGoM Please make sure you have it turned on for everyrace this season as we can see who is not using it when we check the server messages after the race

 

[mdoherty20]

Don't forget, you gain 1 bonus point if you complete a minimum of 10 laps for the upcoming race on our server. Also up for grabs is another bonus point for the fastest lap set, at the moment Sinan Gunay holds the top spot.

Here is a pic of the laps set, for this 1st race, all the cars you tried will get added together to total your 10 laps, I think most people have the 10 laps, but u can see yourself if not.

I will not be able to race in this 1st one, my wheel went back to thrustmaster for repair, it got sent back to me today in the post so hopefully I will have it for next weeks race.

If any reserve drivers wish to compete in this race, can you please let me know before Sunday so I can assign you a livery on the server, if you do not advise us, and join the server during practice, you will probably take someone else's livery if they join late and mess up the server. Thanks

we didn't have this problem last season..  I think if reserve drivers just join using one of the standard liveries in the game it should work out fine.

Ok, u just choose the car when entering the server and the server assigns the livery to you, thats how you get the car and livery I tell the server to give you, if a full time driver is not on the server when someone without a car/livery assigned to them, the server just choosing one at random from the car they selected, please don't cause problems with the post, I want the reserve drivers to contact us if they are joining any of the races so I can tell the server what to assign them avoiding any problems.

....and we did have this problem last season, Tex Willer joined a race, i think it was the 8th race, he was given Buttons livery by the server, Button was then given another full time drivers skin and then that driver was given a my skin as i had left getting ready to record, and then we couldnt get the skins to put themselves on the correct car, we tried getting all 3 to leave and come back in tex last, but it then kept giving tex Buttons livery as he had set a lap in it, see the problem?

guigui was given the wrong car number and he has said this is a unlucky number given to him, so I have changed it to his original request. Please download, delete guigis skin from your ks_glickenhaus and replace with this:

[mdoherty20]

I am posting this here so everyone sees this, there has been another update, it is to aidenb29 Glickenhaus, just drop the content folder onto your assettocorsa folder in the steam directory, it will ask to overwrite, click yes.

Thanks

Please make sure you are running all the apps required, this is your responsibility and not ours, we only provide the tools and info, it is your responsibility to make sure you have installed them correctly and they are active.

I will be taking a screen shot of all lap times and the amount of laps done at 18.00 GMT, 1 hour before the official practice starts, this will determine all the bonus points to be given.

Have a good one and see you all tomorrow.

How was the race so far!?

 

[HRH]

It had to be much more tighter, than in IACC S1, because I messed up on lap 5(?) and drove without further crashes and still didn´t manage to win any time back at all. Last season, that was seemingly easier...

How was the race so far!?

Jerome, racing was very good I must say. Maybe except the guy who won, who was from a different planet.
T1 was done carefully, kudos to all guys, who used their brakes accurately.
For most of the race I closely followed the battle between Chico, Button and Kowalski: Good clean racing.

I shall say that it was a great sign for the season, although I'd like to see some more cars on the grid.

 

[Javaniceday]

I had a cracking race.  It was competitive up and down the field too, HRH your pace must have been  very similar to the rest of the guys, which is why you weren't able to make up too much time - there's always next week!

So anyway, started 10th, but I kept my nose clean and despite not having the fastest pace, found myself in 7th place, and after the pits I was in 4th, which was amazing!  Unfortunately, on lap 16th or so XaidenB, who I was battling with the entire race wasn't able to slow down and bumped me off, which brought me into the clutches of the rest of the field, and since I was on older tires, once they caught me they were able to get past.  Had amazing battles defending against Cheche, Wildcard and Mu11man, so thanks to those guys for the clean racing.

Also, guys, it's very important that if you bump someone that you give the place back.  Unintentional, by mistake, remember it's a game and if you don't give the place back it'll breed a toxic atmosphere.  I practice what I preach, I bumped Mu11man on the last lap, ever so slightly, but I had to give the place back and finished 11th because of it.  But it's worth it 'cuz there's always next week.

So always, always give the place back.  Sound good?
