Thanks for that info guys.

btw, is there a site which has uf-br setups, because it's kinda difficult to get sets on the ctra server.

yh i will have spurts of flatshifting then start lifting to let things settle then go on the attack and flatshift again

edit: mikey most guys started with the base setup avalible from the ctra website, got to the server page and there is a download link with the ufbr server details

Sad to see you not joining chris, I was hoping to have some good fights again which we had in the uf1000 league



btw, a question for all you ufr-br pro's:

What transmission does this car have?

I was checking yesterdays replays, but it looked like I was the only one not flatshifting. So, was I doing silly stuff lifting the throttle at every gearshift, or was it correct ?

I lift about 10% - similar to the function of the the FBM if you know what I mean.

It's not flat shifting.

You can flat shift - it does cook the clutch a bit slowly - but also i find that if you do flat shift - the rise and then fall in revs actually produces a slower gear change which results in a slower lap time.

HTH.

Oh - right

Thanks for that Dru

I'll be there in spirit, but my body will be with someone else...

Would love to be racing, though

Thnx for that tip

Off I go to make a blistering fast so6 set

Right I've had my leg pulled just by reading around a bit... I'll give this a go.

Expect me to be shouting at the awful 'clutch' model a lot though (it's one of the reasons I've played LFS twice in the last 6 months - I hate it!)

tbh after driving it today with the correct setup its not too bad, you could get through a race flatshifting but only just

Good to have you back though

So.... Who wants a team mate who will either 'bin it or win it'?

I'm open for offers

Quote from Rules, Number 3.3 :

Team mates must use matching skins with individual driver markings and race numbers.

Is this literal, i.e they are exactly the same apart from the driver markings and numbers, or is is just down to the 'general look'.

Our plan was to have our skins basically the same, but with small changes to each others car. You probably wouldn't notice them without looking in detail, but meh.

me wants better then being alone^^

maybe calling it dSRC yfb coop racing^^ and skin one half of the car the dSRC the other half the yfb

but I want the black numberboard with the white numbers^^

<----- Please say I've started a trend

Oh go on then

sounds a bit like the ill fated zipper BAR from 1999 Falke heheheheh

plenty of time to work out team mates and things like that - we will probably get another 15-20 signups and then there will be plenty to go around.

It would be a great idea if we could get say 50 drivers making 25 teams - that would be just great

btw guys alot of people did that last year, i was one of them, and am gonna do it again this year

not me, I'm going for gold in the privateers cup AND the drivers chamionship

And yes, I'm that cocky

you wont get the privateers, nobody will, i dont exist this season

Yup as James said there is not a Privateers Cup.

It is important that (not making an exmaple of MikeyG by anyways) that people should make sure they have read and understood all the rules before signing up for this championship.

Well, to my defense, I did read it. Just not point 5.9

Improvement suggestion: less restriction, I think 45% kills the fun of an exciting car. It also amplifies the incredible amount of grip that the UFR has.
If you were to reduce the grip level or increase the power of the UFBR I really think that would improve the quality of the racing & the series as a whole.

my 2 cents

The UF-BR Cup is designed to have close racing. This version with 45% restriction has very much grip compared with the quite low power. So everyone is able to drive fast. Lower grip needs a good driver, so the lap time range will be so wide that it kills every close racing ambitions.

my 2 cents

After competing in season 1, I would have to disagree with that. The whole season was a lot of fun and the 45% restriction created a few things.

Firstly, it created some fantastic close racing between the less AND more experienced racers.
Secondly, the really superb racers (apart from Moosey ) were still able to shine with their faster lap times.

With that restriction set at 45% you can spend time tweaking the setup more for that hundredth of a second

This is cool. The car reminds me of what I hopefully will be able to own in a few months time - a Mini Marcos. Small, lightweight and not that much horsepower. I'll just check my own calendar first!
