Interesting that the last one is the fastest.

Yup, it's just a case of renaming all the FXO files to RB4 and then putting them in the RB4 folder.

I've done it for you though already: http://www.mediafire.com/?1jrl1jnzmyt

Just put these into the "User Files" directory of CSR.

Certainly not my best event this season. I made 2 Hamilton like errors (:razz today:

1. Joining the server after qualifying started put me at the back of the grid for race 1.
2. Mistaking race 2 for having 22 laps rather than 33, and therefore having to pit for fuel in the race.

Both these mistakes I should be shot for TBH. Anyway, during race 2 I also had an incident with my teamate where I drafted him down the backstraight and tried to outbrake him into the chicane. The move was much more risky than I thought it would be and even though contact was minimal, lag sent me off hard into the wall, ending any chances of a podium finish.

P.S. I think I was at fault for the contact with P1lot, there were cars everywhere and I made a last minute decision to pit since I had to add more fuel. Unfortunately I thought I was clear of P1lot when I tried to move off to the right towards the pits. Sorry for that.

Quote from SamH :Jay's busy beavering away at his end, discussing possibilities with teams and with series' controlling bodies, working with the data that we've collected and defining parameters for further racing and psychometrics data collection/analysis (in short, "stuff"). I've had to take a bit of a step back since the end of the F1 season due to overbearing personal circumstances, but I understand Jay has an announcement or two to make in the next week or so regarding further testing at Rockingham and/or Croft. I don't know much of the details as of yet (I'm running on reduced involvement atm) but we will keep everyone posted with news as we get it.

Ok thanks for the update.

On topic: What's the latest news regarding V1?

I'm not so sure about that. The FZ5 is definately faster on most tracks with respect to raw pace.. However obviously the FZ5 munches tyres at an alarming rate. If I was driving the FZ5 again this season I'd try pressures of over 300 kPa TBH. This would probably make the two cars extremely close over the race.. Anyway, enough rambling from me.

I'm also interested, could be good fun. The beginning of January would suit me best.

Very nicely presented video, looking forward to more features on saturday. Not so fond of the .eng file you are using though, at least how it sounds on youtube, but of course I would say that.

P.S. This link has better audio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mng4wKz5BdM&fmt=18

I was also getting choppy playback until I updated to flash player 10. Now perfectly smooth.

Didn't realise RSWC would feature in this, great report!

P.S. Sorry for the bump from behind in the feature race.

I prefer to use a lower percentage of front brake bias in rear wheel drive cars, and higher percentage in front wheel drive cars, since it allows me to control the brake bias under braking with the throttle to some extent.

I'll think we will get used to it. Hopefully it should prove worthwhile.

Thanks for the vid, looks a fun car to drive. I would guess the open diff would mean the car would be more oversteery entering the turns and understeery (spinning the inside rear like you mentioned) exiting them.

BTW I don't see how anyone thinks the RAC looks bigger in LFS, it doesn't.

Hehehe. Shows you the consistancy in Tristan's interpretations of things.

Great start to the season. I personally had 2 great races.

I left the pits very late for qualifying, since as usual I miss-timed when to start cooking food etc, and ended up putting a terrible lap together for 10 place with only a few minutes left.

The first race was very intense, as I tried to work my way up front. I stayed cautious, but took opportunities as they came and this worked me up the positions gradually. I still had to push at the end though to get past my mousing teamate for the win.

As we know the whole grid was reversed for the 2nd race, so it was back to square one for me, except this time right at the back of a huge grid. Again I stayed close to the guys in front, waiting for opportunities to pass or for them to make errors. This however had cost me lots of time by the time I had worked my way up to 3rd place. Ghost had built up a 10 second lead at this point, since he had a troublesome first race and therefore started near the front of the grid in the feature race. Still, I felt there were enough laps remaining to overhaul the lead of his, and passed him with a few laps to go for the win.

Regarding the RAC vs FZ5; having driven the FZ last season, I can say it seems to have slightly faster raw pace over the RAC, and is a little more stable, but suffers very much from tyre cooking syndrome. Still it's great fun to race against the FZ in the RAC.

Is it possible for a replay to be uploaded somewhere of the final race? Cheers.

The inferno car was pretty oblivious to cars exiting the pitlane during that race. Especially when the car exiting the pits is for position..
