Be a good weekend to try out the hotlap thing then if everyone is going to be out other not avalable?

Personally I'm falling back in love with my Lotus 49 Nurburgring combo, after spending way to much time in GT3s.

The Lotus 49 is the best car in Assetto Corsa.

I don't want to start postponing. I think the only way to get participation is if the races happen at a set time and date. I need to do that for a couple months now to figure out how many people we can get into a race on average. And, to be frank, if it's worth it.

Edit: I am going to pick up the hotlap idea again after this race though. Recommendations for car/track combos are very welcome.

Open cockpit cars like the lotus are p awesome in VR. Hopefully AC gets full vive support soon.

Where did you learn to drive?
We have two goon teams driving MX-5's in the iRacing Nurburgring 24 Hours, both in the same split. Currently, Chivers Chikanye is leading, with Rich GT Gentlemen Drivers in second place.

Heads up if you're into Raceroom, they finally updated the European track pack, so it now includes the Nordschleife, Paul Ricard, Spa, Salzburgring and the Raceroom Hillclimb for some reason. Pretty heavy discount on it if you bought the old pack too, less than the Nordschleife on its own.

RRE is real good now if you haven't touched it in a while. I really love all the updates to car physics they've done recently. And the audio is still loving fantastic.

Good Nordschleife to if that's your jam.

Let's make it out, baby.
I haven't run with you guys yet, but I'm gonna make an honest-to-god effort to make it this afternoon. It will depend on a few things, including whether or not my CSR decides to calibrate itself when I turn it on (total crapshoot lately).

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
This is probably out of scope, but does anybody know a good game that simulates left-hand driving? I'm going over to the UK in the fall and I figure I might as well put my G27 to good use. Euro Truck Simulator 2 is the only one I can think of but the roads are almost entirely highway.

I think City Car Driving does support both. I have only seen some videos though and it's probably poo poo. Speaking from recent personal experience I found it very easy to get used to LHD. As long as there are other cars on the road you just kinda go with the flow. Be mindful of not zoning out if you're alone on the road, avoid night driving if possible.

Now, getting used to the wiper/signal levers being reversed, that took me a while. Also walking to the wrong side of the car.

Actually poo poo, went looking back to how much I paid and realized I was pretty high. Guess that's what happens when there aren't any for sale on eBay to compare to.

I'd probably let it go for $380 + shipping

edit: I'd also be a bit flexible with the price since I really want it out of my house.

Yeah, that got me recently as well on Windows 10. Found it was set to download drivers through Windows updates, so I disabled that, manually uninstalled the g27 driver, then got that g27 software installed from the Logitech support site. I also have a Logitech mouse, which I avoid installing software because it breaks the g27 app as well.

Note to self: Check how many laps are actually being raced. 20 laps of fuel with 2 more 'for safety' is not enough for 25. -_-

Until then hotlapping with Lotus 25 & Lotus 49 at Nordschleife.

Edit: How's the race length? Is the 25 minutes I'm shooting for alright?
