    Hey thanks for the add. Can I still spectate if I don't have the license requirement? I thought promotion was yesterday but I was wrong, I have to wait till the end of the season or get up to 4.0 which I might try this week.

    I will just keep running some test sessions with the v8 from time to time, hopefully I will be able to control it ok by the time I get the license.

    You don't need the license to spectate (ghost) or do practice sessions, just need the tracs they are running. This week is a new track for me (Mid Ohio) so will have to do a bit of practice and need a good base set to start working on for it (hint hint Mad!). I thought you had to get to 5 for the instant promotion so never bothered doing my B licence race/TT requirements. After having some good clean races this week my SR was up to 4.9 so decided to do the TT's in the Lotus last night and this morning. Was on 4.99 going into the last TT and had one 2x doing an extra lap at the end, thought i had blown my chances of getting the 5 and promoted (lotus rookie fool pushing it too hard, slap slap).

    Happily surprised to see I got my A licence and was on 3.98 SR, thought it be a good idea to get those extra .2 points to get the .40 jump you get going into the 4's. I thought it might come in handy for all the off tracks I get racing for first time on a new track. I joined a V8 qualifier this morning before the weeks changes took effect; there were a few others in there doing the same thing for the same reason, SR for the following week. Got the points and now I'm an A grade (fast tracked) with SR of 4.44, if I get to 5 does that make me a fully fast tracked unqualified PRO? Not that I want to be a pro but how do you get that title, don't see too many around.

    Lol nah I think it caps out at SR 4.5 Bones. I think Pro license is by invitation only.

    We are probably the opposite in experience with these two tracks... I saw you had a pretty good time there at Phil Island Bones.. low 34's, where I've never driven there before.
    I have done a few laps at Mid Ohio in other cars... good track, so I'll be keen to test out the V8SC there.

    Did one prac session at Phil Island early last week and another last night...Fun track. I might have got a mid 1.33 last night except I kept having to get around slower drivers in Sector 2.. nearly a second better than my first practise session attempt (with a few setup changes). I didn't race there this week because of my lack of experience and didn't have the enthusiasm or stamina to put in a load of practise this week.

    Hopefully catch you guys in TeamSpeak this week for a few laps of Mid Ohio. ;)

    Oh I also saw the Spec Racer Ford now has a D Class series in addition to the inRacingNews (multi-class) Challenge for Rookie's... could be some good racing there too I have a soft spot for that car (and a pretty good tune)

    Yer be good to get the lines for this track from ya and a bit of setup input. Never driven the spec will have to give it a go for some fun. See you in there, add Nathan if you haven't already.
    I had some good races at the Island this week, got a first on Saturday night and was in 4th in a high SOF (for me that is) race on Monday night and got speeding fine on pit entry, like the Vic police, only a few K's over but "no excuse driver, heres ya ticket, have a nice day" smirks and walk of with a big Fat grin, cost me 15 sec's and 3 places. In the later race on Sunday I got disconnected half way through first lap and my PC crashed, by the time I got back in I was 2 laps down, got back up to 12th I think, so no big IR loss, loved the track and did the 38 laps/hour + race comfortably (not too much sweat).

    Hi All
    Been havn a go for a few days "Far Out" I'm sure it will get easier, not sure what I'm doin or how to get into a race yet but prob should learn how to stay on the black stuff 1st. Until I find out if I like it I'm using my old MS sidewinder couldn't get it workin prop on win7 so set up another partition and installed XP, seems ok but will def get a better setup if I enjoy it enough, taking the handicap into consideration

    Anyway I'm on there as Colin Fahy, would have rather used my nic AussieCol but they don't seem to allow that, trust there wont be any concern of ID stealing/piracy etc

    I'll read some more of the threads re chat etc but wondering if you have a club logo for the custom paint setup etc?

    Cheers & cya on there somewhere/somehow I guess

    P.S. Is there an easy way to add everyone's names to my iRace friend list or is it a one at a time type job?

    It's a one at a time job I think... yea everyone uses proper names on iRacing. You're pretty game giving it a go with a joystick! That will be tough! Honestly mate I'd go buy a wheel. Low end ones are cheap enough. edit aah it's a super old wheel.

    Yea there's a RaceOnOz club logo graphic floating around on our v8SC skins, much like the one in the top left hand corner of the forum banner. You can copy it off this - http://www.raceonoz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=18236#p18236 - save that image and ditch the blue background - or copy it off Bonus' signature banner with the 'team' above it too.

    that's quite a list of names we're building up now. Perhaps should look at doing another ROOZ league hosted series and get all of us racing together in the new year. If anyone's keen chuck up some ideas here. Have a read through our previous ideas as well.
