 Track is the usual Bathurst we've run before. New guys get it in here: gbr.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=v8supercars&action=display&thread=304Race details: Start time: Sunday, May 20, 08:30 PDT (sharp) Race time: Early evening. It will be dark at the finish so have your headlights mapped to a button. Qualifying: to keep this on schedule, quali is by the LiveRacers standings at 00:01 on race day Restarts: There will be one restart allowed for technical issues (wheel disconnect, connection drop, etc) in the first two laps. There will be a maximum of a 5 minute wait then the race starts.Race length: 90 minutes (timed, based on the leader crossing the s/f line). Do not stop racing until you get the chequered flag... timed races can get a little confusing depending on where the leader is relative to you. Fuel usage: 2x (to force a pit stop) Tire wear: track default (fuel will be your limiting parameter here not tires) Fuel consumption: about 5.0L/lap (at 2x fuel) for the 190E Tire life: don't know but it seems pretty good Setups: Helios and I tested most if not all of the cars. The default setups are really good. Select soft tires, adjust your gearing and fuel and you're good to go. Plug-ins: Real Feel works with these cars but there's a really strange lightness when the front tires lose grip. The mod has a few FF options in the Upgrades. These are better than Real Feel, IMO. Track notes: - The sand here is deep. If you don't have a clutch pedal and bury the car deep in a sand trap then your race is probably over. Corners 10 and 21 are especially likely to trap you. If you can't avoid the sand then keep your foot in the gas. Come to a stop and you're done. Supplementary rules: gbr.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=touringcars&thread=454&page=1#6171 |

Track notes: - The sand here is deep. If you don't have a clutch pedal and bury the car deep in a sand trap then your race is probably over. Corners 10 and 21 are especially likely to trap you. If you can't avoid the sand then keep your foot in the gas. Come to a stop and you're done. If you get stuck in the sand, you can get moving again, but it will take forever. A clutch helps, but even without it you will move very slow. If you blow corner 21 and get way out in the sand, you will probably lose a lap or 2 by the time you get back to the track. |

Yeah, I suppose I shouldn't say it's over... a lot can happen in 90 minutes!

Can you check the Link or do you have another link because It's not working and the second time I try to download the link, I had a threat warning from my AntiVirus. Do rfactorcentral has the track ?

you likely get a warning because the download file is an executable (.exe extension). I believe I also get warnings (from Chrome) when downloading these track files when they have a .exe extension. Have to just go on faith that because the web site is GBR and the link was put there by F1Fan  that it is safe and ignore the warnings  |

Works perfectly. No virus warnings with MS Security Essentials. I'm not sure of the source of this track... I got it from Hawks. |

I didn't have the track either since I hadn't raced it before. I downloaded the one listed in the V8SC Downloads thread and it worked fine for me.

Thanks for the replies. Maybe my AntiVirus was running a live update or something. Will try again tonight.
Stay thirsty
