    Yes and thanks for it. However I just checked inside the Track Maps folder but can't see a Mid-Ohio.

    Not even the rolling clouds and the up and down temperatures stopping the guys in ARI server. Check out the practice times so far.

    @ Slic Sam, if that's you on your avatar; I REALLY want to meet you! :)

    But guys, a question........ I signed up via the link in the openings post and read I had to tick the button about private messages. I couldn't find that. The account is activated and all.
    Then - after a long, long look- I saw there was a forum so I went there. Then what happens; I want to log in and seem to have to make another account there??!
    Thats strange, because what is talked about, is signing up via the link and tick the button via another link?
    These are the two I am talking about, first one is the one from the openings post:

    http://www.league.sr4l.com/
    http://www.sr4l.com/modules.php?name=Forums

    Is it right, do I have to sign up again?

    I've checked the league site and we are already 26 drivers. It's a shame that at this first two events we've only been around 10-12

    By the way, nikos, how is the progress going? I checked yesterday the motec telemetry tool, and my setup seems to make suspensions bottom-out (reach their full compression length) in the curves. Think I'll have to use stiffer springs to avoid this.

    Not bad (for my low standards anyway) gorgias.
    Objective is to finish race without making other people crash and for that I think and hope Ill be ok till Sunday.
    My biggest problem is t7 at the moment.
    Cannot stop making mistakes there, Im really scared of the place!

    Turn 7, the lefthander?
    the exit of turn 6 must be slightly sacrificed in order to get a better way through turn 7 and keep the throttle down or almost down. You must try to kiss the white and red border and then try to be as straight as posible (within the racing line) at the moment the road changes from uphill to downhill to prevent the back of the car skid to the right as the car loses traction there.

    My pit crew is already working in finding a better setup to the car

    Oh, after the straight. It's a hard braking and very easy to brake too late and then run wide and miss the rubber lane.
    The car setup helps a lot in the braking (only one hard braking in the whole track) The closer to 0 the front camber is the better the car brakes but it sacrifices the way the tyre steps on curves.
    The Setup Developer Tool suggests (if you have too much front camber) to increase front caster and reduce the front camber. This helps for a better braking without sacrificing the grip inside the curves.

    Hey guys - signed up over the weekend and just noticed I'm on the drivers list. :cool: Quick question, how do I sign up for this event? I didn't notice anywhere on the site for this.

    Really looking forward to racing with you guys. Seems like a great, friendly group. Very nice! Fergy your set is leaps and bounds better than what I was using. Thanks for that.

    Hi Nizmo. First of all Welcome, hope you enjoy it here at ARI:cool:
    At the moment there just fun races while we test and learn new league system. The the first 24 or so members that turn up will be in. It would be a big surprise if we filled all spots.
    Cheers,
    Bryan
