Nope. That's the name:

It's just not a stock track. Just a Hall of Fame one.

Thx Josh. Yeah shouldve looked. Been a while how's the turn out been? Hope we've had good amount. Is the car relatively basic for setup etc?

The car is rather easy to setup, but it has most of the settings that the F1 cars do. It's pretty easy to drive too. I find it best, for me, with a little more rear wing than front wing. That keeps the back, in the back.

I haven't spent a lot of time on these cars, but it get's way over steer for me when lifting off the gas in the corners.

Watch the distance between the gears. If the peaks are far apart, there is a LOT of revs between gears and the engine braking can lock the rear wheels. You also have to down shift a bit slower, because you just can't get the gears as close as in F1. So, get the gears a bit closer, and be a bit smoother and slower on the down shifting.

Hi, everybody!
I have been out of the house for along time and haven't been able to get on. I can't seem to get the mod working. I down load the file and it dosen't extract. It is a rar file with 33,000kb. Any suggestions where I can get a copy of the F3 mod besides rfactorcentral?

I just got back from Vegas where I saw Michael Schumacher drive go-karts for a week. It was really cool to see him, Nelson Piquet Jr. and S. Buemi. drive go-karts at the Rio parking lot. I don't know how to put pictures on here, but I do have some pics of them driving and hanging out.

J.R Hilderbrand is a friend of mine that might make it to F1! I think he might be the one to be the next american to make it. I remember when he use to come over to play my sim, and now he has drivin the Mclaren F1 Sim! LOL.

Hope everyone had a good turkey day!

J.Kim, you need a RAR file extractor. I use one called 7-Zip.

Very cool story about the Karts. I hope JR gets a shot, but as well all know, getting in F1 is a REAL tough ride to get.

Alex Rossi is the best choice for US F1 that kid is insanely fast.

Thanks, I was wondering why the winzip wasn't doing it. I will try getting a RAR program, and see how it does.

I'm hoping J.R. can make it but everyone knows it's hard to get into. I actually know Rossi too. I have raced with his dad Pieter in open wheels. And tought his kid go karting when he was a little one. Rossi does have a better chance of making it. It would be nice to see them both make the usf1 team someday.

I should be back at next race. Like I said in the other thread, I'm not into learning a new track every week. I know Laguna fairly well, so should be one more if I can get the hang of driving these spin monsters. LOL

Sean, you are aware that Toban is a stock rFactor track that you have probably run quite a few laps on, right ?
