Brands Hatch Hockenheim Suzuka but really any tracks are fine, some like Oran Park I don't think I have ever driven so that would be cool to learn edit: it is the modern Hockenheim a la Forza that I have grown to love (sorry F1 , not sure what the pre-2002 one is all about. There is a historic Hockenheim in pCARS that I tried once but got lost in the trees

not sure what the pre-2002 one is all about. In the early 2000s, F1 officials demanded the 6.823 km (4.240 mi) track be shortened and threatened to discontinue racing there, due to competition from other tracks such as the EuroSpeedway Lausitz and sites in Asia. The state government of Baden-Württemberg secured the financing for the redesign by Hermann Tilke for the 2002 German Grand Prix. The stadium section remained mostly intact, despite a new surface and a tighter Turn 1 ("Nordkurve"). However, the circuit was dramatically shortened, with the long, forest straights section chopped off in favour of more tight corners. In an extremely controversial move, the old forest section was torn up and replanted with trees, eliminating any chance of using the old course either for future F1 events or for historic car events. There was and still remains a great deal of criticism of the track redesign, in terms of ruining the previous unique technical challenges of the old Hockenheim circuit and delivering a new homogenised 'assembly line' circuit without the character of the previous layout, whilst being beset by the perceived problems of other Tilke circuits.[1] Several drivers and team principals, including Ron Dennis, Jarno Trulli and Juan Pablo Montoya criticised the changes and stated their preference for the old circuit.[2]

Sorry I got mixed up on what day it is. TCM track testing tomorrow! However, the tracks are up if you want to test tonight. "/callvote nextrace" should advance you from Donington to Hockenheim

What time are you testing tonight?? Looks like 7:30 - 8ish, after some V8 practice. Speaking of V8s...Donington could make for a good V8 venue next season. F1 - Got w/in .1 seconds w/ the 635, then hopped in the Sierra and nipped you by .5 second. Sorry Boza...hit modify instead of quote.

Yeah... going to run some Fuji starting around 7 then jump over to TCM no later than 8. There's a small chance I won't be there because I'm not 100% sure what the lady has planned for tonight (but I did tell her it's race night) and she's in a meeting all day so I can't check.
Don't wait for me if I don't show up.

I;m getting a mismatch when trying to join Donington??? Did you download the track from rFC? Try a re-install. I used the "Manual Install" link just beneath "1 Click install" and it worked for me last night.

I;m getting a mismatch when trying to join Donington??? There are a couple of versions of this track... I had one already installed (no idea where I got that from) which is different than the one I'm testing this time for TCM (link is in my earlier post).

Yeah... looks like I won't be on until quite late. If you guys still decide to test you can use
/callvote nextsession (to advance from practice to race via quali/warmup)
/callvote nextrace (to move to Hockenheim)
and
/callvote restartweekend (to go back to practice within a race weekend)
