I think the Camaro is originally from STCC and both are included Race On.

If we're doing Miller, damned right it'll be the short course! :)

I think we have some good choices of cars and tracks here, maybe mix & match from what's been suggested?

eg, Prototypes at Mosport... or admittedly the Minis at the Kart track tempt me. Of course we could do several variations...just queue the tracks up on the server and make all desired cars available, as with the stage races.

I will throw up some vids of hitchin town. Its a pretty fun course for shits and giggles

Kav - I downloaded the kart track and hitchin' town.  Have not got to try them out yet, but they look like good fun.  Thanks

Buz - I like the multiple tracks and car idea.
        Porsche GT1's @ Mosport......DAMN!!

Wouldn't mind taking them for a spin around Mont-Tremblant too, while we're in Canada.

so are we doing this on Wednesday instead of round 6?


Title: Re: Season 7 Fun race ideas
Post by: rip|buzinator on May 17, 2010, 10:50:44 AM
Yeah I think so ... hopefully everyone's ok with it ... I could use some down time.

Wed is great w/ me!

ok we need to finalize what tracks and cars we will be using so buz can make sure everything is on the server and everyone has it.

Buz since this is a fun run, can you disable setups on the server? If its possible is everyone ok with that?


Title: Re: Season 7 Fun race ideas

SimBin games do not support fixed setups sadly.

I wanna add these guys to the list if possible.  Good fun to throw around and the setups are very limited.

http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=22782

I have had these on many tracks and I don't recall any AI probs.  The fields run very tight and the AI will need to be up around 105% or we will be MUCH faster.

do you know CarID they use? they may not be workable on buzzes server.

my idea of fun would be F1 on KW superspeedway. All humans qualify at the front. Set AI to the lowest setting and max grid. see who makes it through the AI each time we lap them....:)

Sorry guys, I put the poll on here not realizing that you could only vote once.     ???

We could all vote(post) our top 3 and then use the top 3 or 4 tracks.

The cars could be voted on after we get the tracks decided.


Title: Re: Season 7 Fun race ideas
Post by: rip|buzinator on May 17, 2010, 06:33:18 PM
modified poll to allow voting for up to 3 tracks.

Thanks again Buz.      ???

At least I don't know enough to be dangerous!!

Kav - I tried out the hitchin track...... WOW.  That is a good one.  In the minis, it's just like a kart race at a temp street track.

Thanks

Post by: bpbriles on May 18, 2010, 12:31:14 PM
FYI - I am having a tech glitch @ the karting track.  There is a huge hole in the track right @ the start finish line on the left.  Cars just fall in and get stuck, and so forth.  Did it on both the minis and the caterham 200's.

Since it is a front-runner for the fun tracks, I wanted to make sure everything would work properly.


Has anyone else tried this track and had this happen?


Title: Re: Season 7 Fun race ideas

Well is the hole avoidable? If it's avoidable then lets still race the track, it will just have a Mario Kart touch to it this is suppose to be for fun :)


Title: Re: Season 7 Fun race ideas
Post by: bpbriles on May 18, 2010, 01:15:53 PM
yeah it is kinda avoidable. No big deal i guess.  I was just making sure everyone knew about it.

before the race we will do a lap around and you can show us where it is :P

Do we get extra points if we know some one in the hole during the race?


Title: Re: Season 7 Fun race ideas
Post by: rip|buzinator on May 18, 2010, 01:41:45 PM
there is an air gap along the left edge of the track, most of the way along the start/finish straight. Starts just after the pit-in and ends in the braking zone, close to turn-in.

Stay central or right.


(I examined the structure in 3DSimEd)

Post by: bpbriles on May 18, 2010, 01:48:46 PM
Well we pretty much have our 3 to 4 tracks.  I am assuming that everyone has voted... 

Do you all want to start picking "toys" for each track?

Vote on any unclear choices?

sounds good

my only suggestions is that hitchin town and KW needs to be ran with something that has a good top speed and drafts/slipstreams well



Title: Re: Season 7 Fun race ideas
Post by: bpbriles on May 18, 2010, 02:45:08 PM
Hitchin' track
Karting J track
Mosport 09'

Either KW or Enna if a 4th is needed.

Everyone nominate 2 cars for each track and we can narrow it down over the next day.

Here's my 2cw:


Hitchin' --------- Muscle cars       
                        Camaro cup

Karting J -------- Minis
                        CSR 200

Mosport -------- Porsche supercups
                        Porsche GT1's

Hitchin' --------- F1

Karting J -------- F1

                        F1

guys I am so sorry for not making it last night. I really wanted to but the wife has started making custom jewelery the past two weeks and it has really taken off. So much that I felt the need to download some accounting software and input all past and current orders vs expenses. Took a while but it was nice to see how much she was making.

I will post a link to her website when we update it with more pieces. You might want to get your lady some stuff ;) at a very cheap price.
