Good Day Folks, I hope this finds everyone well. I was wondering if there are any plans to have a weekday race. I have found myself with my more time on my hands than I know what to do with. Solution. Racing. I would be happy to help with anything needed for organization, hosting, or general insubordination. I know that there have been F1 and Indy car seasons in the past. Anyone up for that? The band has been put back together so trying to commit to weekends; unless it's a sunday thing has become futile. Just some thoughts. Cheers, Dok

Hi Dok,
Evening time would suit me if you're keen for some miles. What games are you playing? Just PC2 or do you want to try F1 or ACC?

Hi Dok, Evening time would suit me if you're keen for some miles. What games are you playing? Just PC2 or do you want to try F1 or ACC? Hi Richard, I have been running most of my laps on PC2 and ACC. I would really enjoy some more time learning F1. GT Racing has always been a favorite. I have the last 3 F1 games. There is some confusion on my part about which of the games, '18, '19 or '20 is the best for the overall F1 experience. Having some one to run with will be a blast. Now we can pick a time. I'm EST I'm guessing that about 5 hours behind you. Ok, I didn't guess, I looked that up. What time is best for you? Looking forward to it. Cheers, Dok

The latest F1 is the best so far it seems. I have it but have not spent a great deal of time with it. Karl races with it a lot and he really enjoys it. Nothing better for recreating the F1 season. The new game will be even better I think as it will feature the classic tracks that were run last season I believe. That being the case I will definitely get it on release.
We ran about 8 or 9 seasons of F1 but stopped at F1 2019 due to the numbers dropping.

Cheers, See you on the grid. Dok

Hi,
Sorry it's been a busy week. I'm due to finish up at the company I work with this week so it's been 100% flat out trying to get stuff done.
If you fancied some ACC I could be up for that? I haven't actually tried it yet with my new wheel etc so I'll need to spend some time dialling it all in. What day suits you best?

I haven't done much racing with ACC since I acquired my new wheel either. Sounds like a good time to be had. Just let me know what time is best.

Let's say Thursday as I'm hoping to be able to get a shot on it all then. I could be on from about 8:00pm if that works for you? I'm based in the UK so I think that means about 4PM for you?

Yessir, 4 pm it is. Now that I think of it I might be looking at 3PM, Daylight savings time, and all that. Looking forward to it either way. Good luck knocking out the work this week.

Thanks to everyone that dropped by. Next time I will be able to hear what is being said, I hope. Anyone know why I couldn't adjust my headphone volume over the game? I went through the xbox menu a couple of times trying to figure it out. Hopefully it is something I can adjust. Cheers, Dok

What did you guys end up racing on and what tracks and distance? Did many pop on with you?

What did you guys end up racing on and what tracks and distance? Did many pop on with you? We had intended to try out ACC. Technical Issues ensued. We ended up in PC2 racing the Renault 3.5 at Hockenheim for 15 laps. As usual I practiced with the wrong car. Getting lapped was inevitable. I think there were 6 of us at final count.

Ah OK, what were the ACC issues?
I've given up on Hockenheim, for some reason it's just a track that I can't get any feel for and spent a couple of hours trying to find some rhythm but ended up no closer to pace or consistency than when I started!!

I'd like to try ACC again but don't we need a private server for that?
Either of you got the DLC's that have come out for it so far and are you getting the new one at the end of the month?
I do really like the game but I've generated found it very clunky and also takes me quite a while to get back into it in terms of getting comfortable.

The issues that we faced were; when Richard tried to invite me to a room it told me I was not able because I do not have the X|S version. I have the DLC for ACC. I need to look into the MP stuff closer. I hope we can keep up a weekly schedule, no matter which car or game we can use. I am available other weekdays as well. With the new rig it's all about developing new "good" habits. Cheers, Dok
