SR4L and F3 Fanatics series.

Update: May 8, 2016



I am in negotiations with SR4L about allowing this series to continue on one of their servers... Please donate your funds to them.














I only run tracks that I can make work with "Get Missing Components", you should
never have to "go download" anything, ever. Most tracks qualify.

I do consider requests for particular tracks. Usually, if I can make it work with "Get Mod"'s "Get Missing Components", I'll run it.

Practice starts at 3:00PM, Arizona time. 11:00pm, London time.

Quallie starts at 3:30pm, Arizona time. 11:30, London time.

The race starts at 4:00PM, Arizona time. Midnight, London time.

TeamSpeak info: IP = 172.245.211.109 PW = EVE

Come one, come all!

Okay, the F3 Fanatics Server uses the stock IsI Historic cars.
February 22, 2016. We now use DurgeDriven's F3 Community pack as well as the
stock IsI cars. The only thing different is graphics. Check out the windshields that don't reflect the wrong way. Thank you.

 

A little late for me. If I'm still awake I may join (1am practice, 2am race CET)

 

I wish I could run them earlier. But, I get home from work at 3:00PM Arizona time.

Hope to see you there!

Bryan

 

It was a great race with great attendance, I even got to race the cat, John.Persson himself

Thank you for hosting Bryan

 

Interlagos last night was so much fun!

 

It was good fun.

 

Howdy all,

Nikos, you're more than welcome!

We did have a great race! Here's the starting order of the 13 entrants!

1, giorgias
2, Yukazu
3, hexagramme
4, Eddy G
5, J Persson
6, M.Fisk
7, Bullwinkle
8, 1959nikos[SR4L]
9, Paul Swire
10, skinbac
11, bookem
12, P.Wolfe
13, Bryan Birtwell

It was another clean start! View attachment 16590

By halfway through the first lap the pace was set for the rest of the race. We had several individual races within the race... as with most races.

This was a race worth replaying! I recommend that you download and watch this race for yourselfs! It demonstates why these cars are so fun to race!

I know that hexagramme won the race... He ran away with it. I can't for the life of me, figure out what the actual finishing order was... I'm not going to guess.

Thanks for the read... It's short because of the time involved in trying to figure out the finishing order... Shouldn't the "roster" within the game show the correct finishing order? Sorry, I digress... If someone could help in this aspect, that would be great! My time is severely limited.

Hope you watch the replay, and hope to see you next Saturday/Sunday for race 4, which is Brianza 10K as requested by 1959nikos[SR4L]!

I won't be around this weekend. My wife reminded me about a wedding I must attend Saturday the 9th.

The correct combo of car and track is loaded and running on the F3 Fanatic's server now.

The start of the race can be voted on to start it ontime. I can collect info from the server when I get home Monday night.

Sorry,

Bryan

 

Nevermind, Paul will help, I think start of race should be unchanged, all will go well dont worry.

 

Howdy Race Fans!


Thanks Nikos! You're always lifting up my spirits!

Any how... Last week was a mess... or mayby two messes. LOL!

First let me apologize for the chaos that was last weeks "race"... or should I say.. "races".

I was called out to attend a wedding without a lot of notice.

Turned out that there were two races being held under the name "F3_Fanatics!" Hope you all had fun. : )

Tomorrow night, May 15/16 we have race number 5 at Lime Rock Park, with no chicanes. Starting at 4:00PM Arizona time on the F3_Fanatics' server.

There will be some changes; I think my friend, Nikos will aprove of these changes. No time/schedual changes.

1, No more fuel or tire useage multipliers.
2, No more mandatory pit stops. This is just for fun... You don't need a pit strategy to have a fun race.
3, This is my personal favorite... Bullwinkle (Tim) showed me how to use the "log" the server keeps of the race and be able to give a much more detailed
and, more accurate write up on the particulars of the race. I'm excited!

Thanks for the read, don't forget to donate via PayPal to the f3fanatics@yahoo.com.

Hope to see you on the track!

Bryan

 

We will be there

 

Another great race, thank you very much Bryan

Which track next?

 

You're very welcome Nikos!

All right! Here we go!

Last Saturday night/ Sunday morning proved to be J-P Simard's night at Lime Rock Park.

Let's see how the field of 13 races faired.

The starting order was;

1, Bryan Birtwell
2, 1959nikos[SR4L]
3, Joe The Lion
4, mel1c
5, Thrindil
6, menace
7, J-P Simard
8, Eddy G
9, Bruno siqueira
10,Hanko
11,Most
12,Bwana
13,Mamaduke76

Most racing incidents were between cars and safety cones... I don't believe there were any standing at the end of the race.

There really wasn't too much bumbing and pushing going on in the race.

We saw some pretty fast lap times during this race with Bruno Siqueira tuning a 56.8 second lap time in his Spark! Joe the Lion proved to be almost as quick turning a 56.9. Every one else's time were equally impressive with the slowest time being 1:01.7. Not too shabby for a late night race!

Here are the race results:

I thank you for the read... Please remember that my server runs from my back pocket. It costs $50/month to offer up the absolute best that NRTservers offers.

I rent the best so as to be able to bring drivers from the UK , Europe, North and South America, and Australia together on one server with "good" ping times for all. Most of you know that I've been hosting the F3_Fanatics for 3 years now!

Please make your donations; via PayPal to f3fanatics@yahoo.com

I would like to take the time to thank those who have already donated. THANKS!

See you all next week at Tiger Moth running layout number 2.

Bryan

 

LOL, Bryan ran out of fuel in his own race series?!?

Sorry I couldn't make it. That would have been worth seeing.

 

LOL... I couldn't believe it myself... "Mr. these things handle better with fuel in them" ran out of gas... I sat there laughing! I took enough for 32 laps. Thought about taking another gallon of fuel... But, NO! I didn't and paid the price!

Hope to see you at Tiger Moth next Saturday night. And Emery... right now our time is the same. You moved ahead an hour and we stood still. 4:00PM Practice starts. Race is at 5:00PM or very shortly there after.

Bryan

 

Sadly I'm at our other house on the weekends. The one with no internet access.

 

You were sorely missed, Emery.

For the rest...

Howdy Race Fans!

Thanks to those who showed up for last Saturday night's/ Sunday morning's race.

Although it was short on attendance, we only had 5 racers at the end of the quallification session, we all had fun!

The first 4 racers came in with some fast and close lap times at TigerMoth R-2!

Mike Campbell grabbed pole position, turning a 1:44.08. Great time Mike!

mel1c wasn't too far behind with a 1:44.17.

smbrm came in with a 1:44.64.

Bryan Birtwell ran a 1:44.78

And, 1959nikos[SR4L] gave us a 1:50.08.

The race got off to a clean start, but that didn't last long.

Most 98% or more of the driving incidents were drivers coming in contact with "immovable object".

Of interest is that Bryan Birtwell evidently came into contact with himself, 1669 seconds into the race... Still haven't figured that one out!

After 30 minutes of sliding around TigerMoth these were the results.

I look forward to seeing you all at Road Atlanta this weekend! If I don't have the Get Mod working on the track, I will substitute an IsI track.

Thanks for the read!

Bryan

 

Fine job, smbrm

 

Bryan, I see in your report a reference to "12 player control", "3 player control", "0 player control". What does this refer to? I might be reading to wrong?

 

Thanks Bjorn!
