Led from start to finish :) was a very tough race mentally because the mind can wonder sometimes when someone isn´t close to you.

Loved the start i did :) Got pole so i was unsure about the rolling start.
I asked a friend on what to do. He said, wait for green.

So when the pace car went in, i waited and waited, no green.
I got bored so just floored it, catching everyone of guard and got a 1.5 second lead before T1 :)

The power is just insane in second gear. If you just let everyone think you will take it easy, just floor it and they will have no time to react because it just takes of like a got damn rocket! :D
Good stuff hampus! I'm looking to get into the ISRA league, or maybe even extend the GTPFIA into iRacing once the new cars are out!
I got some new spy shots of my new DP paint job. :D I think someone at the MtBeR4LiFe889 Paint Noob Shop screwed my car up! :mad: Photo 1 Photo 2
EDIT: I don't want to see what they do to my baby vette D:

Man that looks cool! I wanna learn to do custom paints so bad! I spent like 3 hrs last night trying to figure out Gimp!

Hey guys, thought I'd chime in and show off my new eyefinity setup :D

Before I got my monitor mounts

With my monitor mounts!

Although it doesn't look like it, everything lines up great in-game (the camera height makes it look messed up!)

And to anyone out there who hasn't yet played around with your FOV settings - I highly recommend using the iRacing FOV calculator (even if you have only 1 screen). Sure, it might take away most of your peripheral vision but you will probably find you can more accurately judge speed, distance and braking points, as well as have a better feel for the car underneath you.
That's a pretty sweet setup Champion! Loving it!


Again with the automotive porn!! I want more!!!
:drool:
 
just a question. why the most people must quote everything again?
i read everthing already, and what i do if you quote old stuff again? yes, i start reading the same things again. :ouch:

Good stuff hampus! I'm looking to get into the ISRA league, or maybe even extend the GTPFIA into iRacing once the new cars are out!

I used to be an Admin at ISRA ;) It was me who started up their "World Endurance League"

I was first starting up an event as fun because i wanted 60 driver fields of cars in 3 classes then Alex emailed me and asked if i could join.
I said sure but then things did not work out with me and iRacing and Alex so i basically left the house.

He´s the kind of guy that wants to run everything but have other people doing the work and that doesn´t fly with me.
If i´m doing the work i should decide what cars to run and what event to run etc.
It was my event so to me it was logical. But it´s all good. Starting up a NordicLeMansSeries aswell as an International F1 league in August and we have our own site and everything (check sig) :)

But with that said, ISRA is good place to race for anyone who wants to join a league :)

Looking good! I'd love to run that league!
 
Managed a time that got the 13th Fastest practice time in the world records. (Would've put me about 15th in Drivers World Championship race at Barber)

Was over the moon when I did this lap, nearly perfect except for the last 2 corners.

That lap is crazy Mad! Looked awsome! You are fast my friend!!

Guys I'll be doing the 0:00GMT Corvette race if anyone's interested on joining, Spa this week!!
 
Ok, here's my first attempt at custom paints:

Still working on it, any suggestions?

Edit: New version:

Now to add the GTPlanet logo and some other details!

It´s sort of a replica on the Flying Lizard theme but with your own twist? :)

Looks nice either way but i think more silver behind the lion would look even better.

What is the max FPS you can set this sim to run at?

600fps.
have no idea why you would run that high though as your screen sets the limit.

Jav, when you take pics you can press cntrl+f12 then use "wasd" keys to move around getting closer to the car etc.
and if you want to completely move around hit cntrl+z after you hit cntrl+f12.

Thank's Hampus didn't know that! Very useful feature!

Here's the final pics:

Entered the 0:00GMT race but the damn potentiometer on my brake pedal is so loose that I was either locking up the brakes or going head first into the gravel trap so I pulled out before I damaged my SR any further...
 
I've finally been putting together a couple good finishes the past couple days. Other than one crappy race in the Legends cars I've finished top 5 in my races, with no incidents in either of the Modified races. Couple more days like this and my Irating might get back to a nearly respectable level. lol

You know where you decide what graphics options you want to have on like shadows etc.

Check if "DXT is off (discouraged)" is checked. It hightens the resolution of the skins so they look way better.

Also, if you want other people to actually see your skin you need TradingPaints.com but that one you probably knew about?
 
Good job Jav! I like the Corvette the most! Unique design. 👍 I tried skinning cars late last year/early this year and was hopeless at it so stuck to driving and let people paint my cars for me. :D

Might do this next F1 race, see how I go in a SOF race....3:15am Aussie time is pretty overrated though! :lol: Plus I got my teammate to paint me an F1 car that can be used next season and "pre-season tested" in the coming weeks. :D

It looks friggen epic, I LOVE IT!
 
Mad94d & Jav those are great skins 👍

And Mad94d, I really enjoyed that F1 youtube at Barber. Great driving skills :bowdown:

I think I learned something from watching that for real
 
Great race Madison. I was the guy who finished behind you in that race. 237 points which are enough to secure my Pro license :D :D :D
 
I just did my first Carburetor cup race, it was clean, and although there was twenty people it wasn't official?

I have also bought the mustang the decided against buying the track if I was only going to race it for one day, I might wait till tomorrow or next week to start racing it.
 
I just did another NVIDIA cup (think I spelled that right). I started in 9th first two turns I jumped up to 4th and stayed there for for a couple laps and then got into 3rd. I then got throttle happy and spun out on one of the tight turns and fell back into 7th. So I stayed at it and tried to stay calm and have consistent lap times and I got back into 4th.

I had a guy hanging with me a few cars lengths behind and then I did it again, but I didn't go off track or get a "lose of control" IN because I managed to stay less then 90 degrees. So the guy passes me and after a couple laps I reel him back in and I'm about 4 cars lengths behind him for a few laps and then he spins coming out of turn 4 and I get back into 4th. I hear him say "I can't believe I just did that" lol

I finished 4th and got 0.17 SR

It was a great race, everyone was running at about the same pace
 
Oh great, thanks for making it so obvious to me iRacing :(. I spent nearly 30 dollars on the Caruburetor cup, only to be told by someone in the race that it is always unofficial. It doesnt even say that on the website, it even says it will help my minimum participation requirements!

I feel so ripped off, it would have been more worth my time putting the 30 dollars into the mustang, god damn it! Is there a way I can be refunded, the website is misleading.

Great Race mate! Was my first attempt at a "SOF" race in the F1 so was good to have the pace to run with the guys getting Pro. :D

Well done on making the Pro series too Daniel! I'll be going for mine next season.
