Really looking forward to this series. The cars drive SO well.

What distance are we running?

D'oh!

I think I would like to run enough laps to get near a target race time. I think perhaps in the 35 minute area would be good enough. I don't want to simply do a timed race as that leaves it unclear how many laps the race will run. Let me do some experimenting at A1-Ring and come up with a length.

i've done some testing, i guess 50% is about 40 mins. Might be a little better a bit shorter distance, these cars run 17 laps at a1 max.

It'll all be set for tomorrow, easy.

And, the upload is a BIG one. I had forgotten that we no longer HAD this mod installed, since we have a new server host. Luckily, it was brought to my attention tonight. One down side to this server, however, is that it has a dreadfully slow FTP upload speed. I am screaming along at a 87KB/s speed.

I'm watching Top Gear. It might be done when the show is over. Maybe.

OK. It's loaded.

I chose 24 laps as the race length. Just to make a pit stop needed.

For Brands Hatch, on Rfactor there are 3 ver 1.0 and 1 ver 1.01 I assume we are using 1.01 right?

I'd of thought so Tim.
How many laps tonight?
