    Default rFactor League Race #5: Laguna Seca

    Going back to Cali..Cali...Cali...

    You're bound to get some sand in your cracks here.

    The track version we're using is version 1.2 by COM8. Don't use the hi-res one cause I think it will cause mismatches on the server.

    Hi Keith

    I inquired about participating in your league earlier this year, however a conflict came up on Wednesdays. Looks like Laguna is your next race and I have this Wednesday March 24 free. I am wondering if you would permit a guest driver. If not that's OK, if so appreciate info on time and details to race, I did do some practicing with the mod and your group before the season started.

    cheers

    Stephen

    Sure Stephen! You can race with us. We drop the two lowest point scoring races so if you raced the rest of the series, you could still do well. Race is Wednesday at 8:00CST. I would connect to the server well ahead of time to make sure there aren't any conflicts of any kind.

    Should be a fun race tonight, though my setup is crap and I can't get through T6 three laps in-a-row without spinning...on a light load. The #13 wants to chase it's own tail for most of the track even in full-grip settings. Until further notice I'll blame the car number.

    Guess who's going to be on a one-stop strategy!

    In other news, I got my mechanic up-and-running in some saloon car races on rFactor and he's now an addict. Hopefully we'll get the FF done soon...

    Cheers,

    Default ???? Questions

    How many laps at Laguna?

    What time does practice start?

    Do you use teamspeak at all?

    Not sure. Unfortunately I won't be able to check until around 6:30PM or so.

    All I can say is that I'm happy to break Keith's on-going record of capturing pole, fast lap and and the win. The first two will do for now. Once I figure out how to keep the car facing forward I'll get in front of the green machine.

    Here are the points after five rounds of battle, things seem to be tightening up at the top.

    Respectfully Yours,

    Thanks Jac! Great run yesterday! I had decided to keep it safe as much as I could because going off at Laguna would most definitely result in damage. My start was pretty interesting (forgot to put it in gear), but it made for some fun initial laps. I borrowed your spreadsheet and pulled the lowest two races from everyone to better represent the standings.

    Looks good to me! I'm running at my local kart club (RA's Motorplex) this summer inbetween FF activities and they only drop one out of eight races, which should be interesting since I have to race the night of the Sprints!

    Here are some screenshots from the race...
