I live in northeastern Pennsylvania and yesterday the air tempersature was 105 and heat index was 115. I started to sweat just thinking about doing something. Today will almost be the same.

[Racer]

BRNO first try,
my best time first try the track.
2.01.xxx

[Bilbo]

2:02s for me so far, first time ever on this track AFAIK, lots of room for improvement.

[MrT]

Thanks Bilbo for the help ! On the track zip file ...... worked after i installed Track pack .

Bye the way how can i shut off that annoying engine rev in rfactor xfactor gt mod .......... every time i start game
hope it can be disabled or turned off

how about some group practice / or group therapy ............lol
this weekend around same time as race good for me

[Bilbo]

Thanks Bilbo for the help !

No problem, happy to help. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any problem!

Just add a "!" at the end of the extension of the following file: <rFactor>\UIData\XF_FIAGT1_11\UISounds\basstick.wav so it becomes "basstick.wav!". The same technique works on the movies and music from most rF mods too, once you find where the files are (usually not really hard).

I might drop in for a quickie but most likely won't stay very long. That time (4PM here) is not great for me as it's just before (and during) suppertime and I can't get away with that every week...

[Peter Sojda]

Verry nice track, I know it well from MotoGP, so I put PB 1:58.951 (race fuel)

Edit : 1:58.484

[Bilbo]

I practiced a bit and got my times in the low 59s, although not very consistently. At least I'm now turning in the good direction, most of the time...

[MrT]

2:02 s is about the best i can do with my {Land Barge} Aston 1st time on this track for me ...
Had a chance to stop in for a few laps yesterday Didnt see anyone ! Sorry i missed ya Bilbo

[Steve]

I did a high 1:58 in the Corvette But that was with 10 laps fuel....will be lucky to match that is race setup

[Racer]

yooo,
1.58 low here, need more practice, if u get to now the track good u wil get better.

about Race laps, we might have to change that to 25 or 30Laps, other wise it will be a 2hour Race

[Bilbo]

How about switching to 45 or 60 minutes races (for all tracks) rather than a set number of laps that we have to adjust every time? (i.e. time-based rather than lap-based races)

[Steve]

Another question....since we are doing fairly long races, why are we doing extra fuel consumption, and extra tire wear? haha. maybe we should just have 2 mandatory pit stops per race....

[carrera]

Yo Steve.I hear it is going to be 112fareheit with the humidity factored in.
Right now it is 43degrees farenheit here.i feel for ya buddy although you must be used to it by now.
as for racing 30 laps is about 1hour of racing and 2pitstops which is about right?
brno is a nice track though.
carrera :

[Steve]

I checked when I got home from work tonight at about 6 PM, and the old thermometer read 101 F in the shade, ugh !!! But, it's supposed to cool off a bit starting tomorrow, might even rain !! We need it...

[Racer]

Guritibaaaaaa

well after BRNO here we go to Curitiba,
my first test, few laps, 1.17.1xx

its a fast track, with nice corners, if u dont watch it u in the sand geting dust in ure Car ghehehe,

[Coffeemachine]

got into the 12s with full fuel.

keep overheating the left rear though, so all the grip dissapears after a few laps
