    Yep customs charge was expected though as anything over $1K aud will get GST added plus customs charge. Not a great deal we can do to avoid that.

    Hairy Goats server is running 24 slot Tatuus on Barcelona GP. :)
    I just noticed Marty is running it as well.
    Happy to change my server to any other suggestions.

    Yeah thanks mate - your setup certainly helped.

    I really did enjoy the racing last night. Great battles with Carlos and Godzilla among others. Thought I'd be at the back all night with no prac but maybe all the years of racing V8's in rFactor helped me :). Imola turned out to be a cracking track for the V8's.

    So the Tatuus on Barcelona GP is a fun little car, still learning how to stay on the black stuff.
    The F12004 on the same track is a completely different beast. OMG I was giggling like a school girl on the first lap.
    I think it was mostly out of fear that I would send this flying coffin into a wall, and yes that did happen.
    Once I got used to the speed OMG the speed!!! then I was able to start pushing it further and further. Still a few seconds off the fast guys but what a fun race that was. I'm a slow learner, however kept getting faster. Learning where to break, how much to brake and how fast to push it out of the corner is a steep learning curve for me. I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to race these around for real.
    The concentration needed is intense and just checking the mirrors at the wrong time had me missing the braking point and overshooting the corners.
    I found it funny that they still have a horn :)
    Looking forward to more of this racing, hope to see you in there again tonight.

    The f12004 is some insane beast and battling with @Cherno while running pb laps was pretty crazy. The dirty air following does make things very tricky too and you can see how they ended uo coming to DRS with f1. However if yoh can get close enough onto a main straight in it can get a nice big draft especially at a place like Barcelona where your running a fair bit of aero.

    Not sure what anyone wants to run for the next fun run but I set all 3 servers at Laguna. Ran a few laps there with Cherno very late last night and was a bit lost at the track. Its quite different to the non scanned layouts I drove in the past.

    I assume v8's wont be run next fun run so we can change that server up or @Rolz can if he has a suggestion.

    Will DL it as I havent got that one and can put it up on the main fun run server. I will keep the f12004 on one of them and have a mix of the new cars up on a trackday with all at Laguna atm to give people a chance to run the track.

    edit: have you got a link google came up with various random rips so not sure about it. Does it drive ok?

    I put up the link from that post it is 1.2 but no idea where to check if there is a newer one so that will do unless someone else finds another. I guess it must be fairly dodgy if it can only be shared via yt so no idea where its from but its not something I was looking out for.

    Changed the Hairy Goats server to run the Escort on Laguna Seca. I had such a great time in the Mazda MX5 Cup last night I thought it might be fun to run the Escorts. It's only running MR | AB though, 29 slots, may not get the largest field at least we should get some clean racing. Racing last night was fun, however I got punted off the track a few times by wayward drivers.
    Does anyone know how we can limit ping on the servers? there were a lot of 350 + and even a 450+ on last night, cars were teleporting all over the place.

    Yeah escorts would be well fun! Sadly there is no ping restriction on AC...
    I am surprised no one has created a ping plugin yet as it would be pretty popular.

    The AC legends server seems popular so far lol, anyone thats tried these whats their view on it. I ended up just doing some hotlapping in the f1 at Laguna and didnt feel like a slow old mod boat so still yet to try those.

    My trackday server I will likely change up tonight, next 2 Mondays are christmas day and new years day. Unlikely to be anyone racing christmas but could possibly get some new years day as all should have recovered by then lol.

    Being a fun run series anyone that has an idea of a combo, I can put it up on any of my 3 servers and what gets a few peoples interest can be what we run in the coming weeks before the next season.
