Understeer - is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer - is when you hit the wall with the back of the car
Horsepower - is how fast you hit the wall
Torque - is how far you move the wall when you hit it

will try that. But I may be on to it. The track is actually installed but I think it wants me to install the other car too. That is the "mod" it looking for.

But thanks for jumping in with the suggestion Yep - I’ve touched on it before but the way SR4L is set up, it’s quite easy for version inconsistencies to crop up - it might sound tedious, but it’s easy(er) to spot and fix if people trip over it and report issues. Sounds lazy, I know,

An interesting evening…
Overall laptimes of the Datsun and Nissan did prove to be very close but the Nissan (in clean air) could really pull away on the straights. However - it chews through its grip quite early on - and as these cars seem to develop a reasonable tow, a Datsun can glue itself quite comfortably to the back bumper of a Nissan if it gets close enough!

I dont know about comfortable , i was driving out of my skin to stay with DJ , but great fun i wish i could have stayed longer , note to self disconnect the bloody phones in future .

OK - final week of the Datsun vs Nissan battle before a car change, methinks.
Taking them back to Mosport (CTMP). The Nissan will win the long uphill drag…
…but will the rear tyres last more than two laps before going off?:p
For the 17th November round, I think it’s time to change the car(s) again. Needs to be something reasonably accessible (I did think of the F1 Legends Lotus 49 - but I think it’s too much of a handful for the fun races) - but a bit faster than the Datsuns…

Hope you join me on them for this last event Mr.Fox :p.

Good racing again tonight - the same tortoise-and-hare Datsun vs Nissan battles 
We’re going to try the MX-5s next in top spec form (supercharged, I think).
Track TBD but I’ve loaded Portimao with the T1 chicane for now. Final decision on Friday(ish).

It was fun last night.
One race I got flipped on my roof by PetrolHead.
The next race I did the same with him by mistake, oops .
He was flipped like a pancake.
Some nice battles.

It was a good turnout, too, with a couple of waifs and strays (ok - just people I didn’t recognise) joining in. The later races had some cracking battles.
I think they’re worth a bit more exploration - I’ll try to get a track up tomorrow.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...=865745371 I’ll give it another go - I *have* tried it in the past and wasn’t overly taken by it - but I know a bunch of my old Caterham 7 associates use it IRL each year…

Right - this week we’ll give Rouen a go with the ‘74-‘94 layout. It’s pretty smooth and swoopy (as many of us know) and will hopefully suit the drafting - will a couple of big-stops to liven things up!
I’ll try Dijon soon…

Quite a few new names have recorded time on the Wed night fun server this week - hopefully we’ll get good grids again.
Remember - the car version was updated from V1.02 to 1.03at the weekend - if rf2 hangs during connection, you’ve probably not got the current car version (or may need to remove the old server-mod).

That was fun. Thanks for hosting Myles.
Think Jon was a magnet to the moveable tyre walls. He loved smashing through them o_O .
CU all in next one.
