Isn't life grand?

Alright, since tomorrow will by my first race on R2P in the running TBO series, I have a few questions.

1) What is the server name? Is it always online, or only prior to the start of each event? (I haven't bothered to actually look for it in the server list yet).

2) Are real names required for the race, or can I use my usual nick (dMrObsolum)?

Uhm, I think that's all for now. If anyone has any tips or pointers please feel free to post them. I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening and I want to make sure that there are no last minute surprises or anything

The server is called race2play.com. I would imagine it will be running the correct combo tomorrow.

Real names are required.

Since starting iRacing and HistoriX I've decided to pull out of the TBO league at R2P. I will continue with the GT's and netKar leagues though.

I simply cant race all these sims to the standard I'd like, something has to give. TBO's are out.

I'm out of LFS altogether for the time being. I got bored with it, and the R2P events weren't (aren't) what I had hoped they'd be. I guess LFS still needs to build up a big enough audience over at R2P.

I can't even seem to find the time to fire up rF for the occasional race anymore :sad:

I just noticed that there's a new LFS series starting over at R2P on October 8th, using the infamous UF Baby-R.

Dates and tracks here.

I love the names they gave to the individual races :lmfao:

The only problem I can see is the time at which the races are held: wednesday afternoon at 3pm GMT. Call me crazy but I think most working folk are at work then.

Anywho, since I'm unemployed I will most likely be signing up for this series, provided I have sufficiently recovered from my back surgery to get behind the wheel again by that time.

Hopefully this series will have more people signing up than the previous TBO and GTR series.

How did your op go? Remember, take it easy. Come back healthy.

D'oh! I just noticed that the starting times aren't 4PM but 4AM :doh: I guess I won't be participating in this after all. A shame, as I was looking forward to it. I've been bored with LFS for months now but this actually sparkled my interest again.

The op went fine as far as I know. I haven't really asked the doctor how it went and he didn't really say, either, but I guess if there had been complications he would have told me

For the first few days after the surgery I thought I was never going to be able to walk properly anymore, but I've come a long way since then

The recovery will take longer than I had expected, though. I'd expected to be able to go and look for a new job after 6 weeks but... it looks like it'll be more around 6 months, according to the doc :blink: Eh, it's hard to tell so early, I think. It all depends on how well I recover.
