Grand Am Rolex: **PATCH** FOR MID OHIO
Written by Richard Sobolewski
This Friday will see the third round of the Grand Am Rolex Series at Mid Ohio. Over the past two rounds I'm aware that some of you have found fault with the brakes in this mod, this was an issue that the developers noted. Luckily they have brought out a patch which improves the braking giving the brakes a more "realistic feel." We will be using this patch from now on, the patch will not affect any setups you have previously made. Cya at Mid Ohio on Friday!
Starting on Saturday February 20th RaceConnect brings you the high octane, high speed thrill packed ride that is NASCAR.
In preperation for the season proper there are going to be 2 official practice sessions using the trucks in VHR2010 on 20th February & 6th March which will include a short race.
As described in the VHR section of the forum anyone wishing to take part in the full season will be required to show for at least one of these practice sessions.
We will be using them to practice running in packs, full course cautions, getting the trucks setup and all the other rules and regulations that make NASCAR unique.
Please see the forum for details and check out the registration page to claim your spot.
In the words of DW "Boogity Boogity Boogity lets go racing boys!"
See the below links for the forum, series page, mod download and registration page.
RaceConnect brings you a stylish Italian love affair hopefully without the tragedy! Using the fantastic looking and sounding Alfa 147 GT-R mod this series will focus on short action packed races around some quality short tracks and should test these lively little tin-tops to their limits. Featuring two 15 minute races per round and one hotlap per qualification session there should be some hot....competition. Click 'read more' for series details.
RaceConect are proud to keeping bringing more to the members, and offering more and more. As running costs keep increasing we have done a deal with an embroidery company and are able to offer our members a range of TShirts, Sweatshirts, Fleece Jackets etc all carrying the RaceConnect logo.
Please visit our new shop, please note the postage costs are Royal Mail prices and we will endeavour to lower these if possible. Also if you want to order more than 3 items please check as postage cost will be different.
The polls have now closed and the results have been finalised. We have the winners of the 7 categories, that you the RaceConnect members have voted upon.
The response to the polls was not quite as we had hoped, but we do appreciate all who took the time to cast their opinions, and helped to compile our list of winners.
The seven categories are:- Driver of the Year, Most Improved Driver, Most Sportsmanlike Driver, Best RaceConnect site Feature, Best 2009 Race07/GTR Evolution series, Best 2009 rFactor series and Best Real Life race Formula.
We hope to hold another awards poll next Christmas time so If any members have any suggestions for future categories please let us know.
Following a PM from Alessandro Gamberini I have decided that what RaceConnect needed next was its very own TV channel. So with a little playing around I have now set up RaceConnect TV. The hope is that we will very soon be able to broadcast some of our Marquee Series LIVE to all. This may also get extended to the occasional other series.
To begin with whilst we get accustomed to the software and the systems in place we will bring you regular highlights shows.
This is where you can get your video broadcast on the RaceConnect Channel. I have set up a Mediafire Account just for you to upload your mpeg2 format video. Please keep videos to an absolute max of 200MB or mediafire will not allow the file to be uploaded.
From 6th January there is a new category to the RaceConnect Forum and this is for all your real motorsport discussions there are various sub categories F1, GT, LMS Touring Car and Off Road more will added as suggestions are made. This is just the beginning of a tidy up and reorganisation of the Forum in an effort to make things easier to find for new and old members alike. As they say new year new beginnings.
February 2010 will see the launch of a brand new series to RaceConnect. The Real FIA GT Championship, this series will beoption using GTRevolution and the fantastic FIA GT 2008 mod. The series will follow the entire 2010 Real FIA GT schedule, although due to clashes with other series we will be running on Monday evenings on a monthly basis allowing plenty of time for practice.
We will also be incorporating as many of the real FIA GT rules as
is possible, including authentic points, authentic weight penalties.
All races will be 90 minutes in duration.
You will require Race07 and GTRevolution to take part in this
series, also you will need the FIA GT 2008 mod plus a few add on tracks
links will be supplied with the full details.
