Friday night 'Tour of .......'

Doorman · July 02, 2009, 02:27:06 PM

Britain

While the dMr server is being fettled I'll be running a server on Friday evening (3rd July.(no significance in that!) a Tour of Britain night. Format is thus:
Five cars;
Alfa GTA
Abarth
Mini
Cortina
Elite

Five tracks;
Brands GP
Cadwell
Crystal Palace
Oulton Park (Island)
Goodwood

10 minutes practice
4 laps qualifying
10 lap races

Due to the messing around with routers, modems and the like I've got a dynamic dns address: finnglish.gotdns.com I've tried it out and it works! If anyone else would care to try it beforehand that would be nice.

Start at 7.30 proper time
No cash prizes, no points and no LVs!

There's always someone isn't there? :sideways: Thanks BFC, I'd correct it but unfortunately I seem to have lost the ability to edit even my own posts :g:

I noticed that the other day. Some prodding suggests that you can only edit your posts until someone has replied to it. Once that has happened it is locked with whatever cockups you made. Don't know if that's a bug or expected behavior.

I can put my paranoia away then, it's not just me.

OldBloke · July 02, 2009, 05:33:49 PM

There's a 15 minute period for corrections then it's locked down.

Doh :doh:

Well I would have been there, but unfortunately I have a colleagueÃ¢â,¬â,,¢s leaving do to attend. If there are still people on, and I'm not too drunk (Ok, fat chance.) I'll have a pop on late.

Enjoy yourselves.

I've tried to find your server Ron, without success. I presume you put the URL in 'Friends' section and search from there, but I'm getting BA.:sad:

I've only just put it up (19.05) URL goes in the blue button with a 'world' and a magnifying glass on it.

Thanks Ron, for a great nights racing

I like the formula as it gave close racing even to those who are relatively new to rFactor. Sorry that I only took part in 4 races (that includes one where I was beached and one where I retired after landing on the radiator grille) but HI wants an early start tomorrow :sad:

Jamin · July 03, 2009, 10:37:08 PM

Yeah! cheers Ron, that was a fun night :thumbsup:

Doorman · July 03, 2009, 11:13:21 PM

'twas great fun. Frankly, six of us was more than I expected. Thanks for coming everyone.

XLR8 · July 03, 2009, 11:41:35 PM

Great racing, great fun

I like the format and the server was rock solid too. Thx again Ron.

If you want a giggle and you still have the replays check out my acrobatics at Oulton about 8:55 into the race replay
