Quote from Bose321 :Hi all,

I just read about a new Beta for Windows Live Essentials (MSN,Movie maker, Sync, Mail, etc.

You can find more info right here: http://windowsteamblog.com/win ... live-essentials-beta.aspx

Dutch version is leaked, I got it installed, it's very bloated, but it looks good, and VERY smooth.

For you XP users, you can not run this. Vista and 7 only.

Have fun with it, I love it so far.

I tried to install it but it crashed every time about 40% through the install..... I'll wait for the release then I can choose which bits I want to install rather than have to install everything....

thanks though.....

Quote from amp88 :In real life V8 Supercars are very prone to power oversteer/wheelspin. They produce somewhere around 630bhp and don't have a lot of grip (though the new Dunlop sprint tyre that's been used in the last 2 seasons helps a little). If you look at any pedal cameras of laps you'll notice how patient the drivers have to be with the controls.

Quote from lizardfolk :I did a few laps with it on leguna seca. The car feels very responsive and really rewards the smooth driver. I've noticed that it is a bit wheel spin happy tho as it gets loose on the s/f bend.

Idk if that's normal for a touring car but the v8 supers are top tier cars (atleast in tc categories)

Could also be my set too (or lack thereof). I'm driving with defaults

Hope to see you on track soon

The V8's do have limited grip and the tyres used, while giving more grip as AMP has said, also have limited width tyres to ensure better racing.... from what I was told! Same for the spoilers.... they are limited too.....

Quote from Danke :I'm headed there tomorrow for day 2 of the Grand Am event - Jettas, Mustangs, and ARCA trucks. You iracing guys could almost simulate my whole day tomorrow ARCA trucks are the smaller, 4 cylinder versions of pickup trucks, as opposed to the Camping World full size variants.

take some pictures!!!!

Your challenge is to get a picture of you stood shaking Wyatt Gooden's hand

for anyone wanting this really useful plugin:

http://members.iracing.com/ifo ... geID=1062925&#1062925

basically works in chrome (what I use!!) and it will show any friends you have in iRacing and what they are practising or doing.

Quote from Xaid0n :Damn, is there something putting off the Rookies from racing? Just raced in the Rookie Legends Cup and the majority of the field had B licences and 1 with a Pro licence >_<

It was an OK race, finished 7th :/ would have got more SR if it wasn't for a twonk tapping my backside on lap 35, that's why you never ride too close to someone's arse


/rant

if a lot of people are signed up, then the server splits are decided based on iRating. If you have done well in a few races as a rookie, you will have upped your iRating. As a rookie, you don't get to see your iRating as the main focus is on getting your safety rating up. However, if you do a time trial or qualify session and you're the only person in it, you will get to see the average iRating for the session. If you're the only one in it, you will see your iRating

Maybe you were placed in the higher bunch based on iRating due to doing well

Quote from Danke :Does iracing have rolling starts on road courses? If so, where do they start at Mid Ohio?


They do. Typically the higher licensed cars. The Indy car, the DP/Radical multiclass. Not sure about the Corvette but I don't think that one does. Those two i think, apart from hosted races.

Quote from mcintyrej :
Anyone got a good setup grid/website? I can't seem to find a thing.

Check these sites out mate...

:: For skins, http://www.tradingpaints.com/

:: For setups, http://www.racesetups.com/

I tend to get my setups from the forum on the iRacing site itself. For the silverado, http://members.iracing.com/iforum/forum.jspa?forumID=427

Also, be sure to check out your CLUB forum and setup area as some people do post up great setups for oval.

Quote from Seb66 :Thanks alot What times are you running? With my own setup I've done a 1.38.3, with a opt of 1.38.1. I think a really good time is in the 36s?

I'll have a little bash with those sets now

Doing 37's with the lime one though if I can be consistent I think I can get to low 37's maybe a high 36 if I was optimistic with the VIR one.

Quote from Seb66 :I've just bought the skippy, Road America and Road Atlanta.. Road atlanta starts tomorrow for the skippy and I'm quite exited

Started winning races against people in higher ranks and iRating than me in the solstice.. So I though it was time to move up

Awesome Seb!!!! Road Atlanta is a real blast in the Skippy....

Here's my two setups for the skippy if that will help. I use the Lime one at R.Atlanta.

(save them in to your my documents/iracing/setups/rt2000 folder - incase you didn't know)

Quote from DaveWS :What do you think is wrong with the V8 Andy? Is it the way it has more oversteer in right handers compared to left, or the corner entry understeer? Or the exit oversteer? These are all down to the locked diff.

yeah, in the real car, the understeer isn't like that at all. There's a lot more grip to the car. I didn't find the oversteer different turning left to right either.....

I think you're a lot right about the tyre modelling. With that not right, it will really throw out the car handling. However, if you look at the setup screens, they seem more comparable to the impala than you'd expect on the V8, no?

Quote from AlienT. :Which cars, released recently, do you think are not as they should be?

Maybe I'm just to easy to please.

the V8 is way off mate. The setup screens are also brought over from the Impala setups for ovals! Having just driven the V8, I can safely say, it's very wrong in feel.

From RSR, thanks!

See you next season I hope
