Hi Lads, got a problem with rfactor online! when i go to race online it loads up the track but when it enters the game shuts down? then i tried to race as adminstrator and it works but the grapihcs are very very poor? im on windows 7 if anyone has had this trouble Si

Hi Lads, just after some answers really, am coming back to ukdirt after a year break as ive finally updated my pc to get r factor! First one, would i be a white grade in these? i was red in heat but im defo not up to speed in these! Second, will i be able to race as number 31 as my real life f2 number and not 231 as registered with? And finally are the physics ment to be be so pushy on these cars? im using toshes set-ups (thanks) no matter what i try i cant get the back end out! im using a pad would that make a difference? but i have brought a wheel just waiting for it to come! Thanks Simon

or on a higgy would be even better keep the south west alive lol, i have these on my facebook, but ill get more on saturday when im up the garage again ripping it apart! thanks Wrighty!

Hi Lads, makeing a return next season as ive invested in a new pc would anybody out there be willing to make me a f2 skin on a randall chassis or dontate me one with my number on so i can get praccying? also i take it i will be starting as a white grade as i am a rfactor virgin! Thanks Simon #31

I raced on sunday with the new car, it was a wet meeting, and i came into a bit of trouble with this as my wet tyres i used on the rear of my old car wouldnt fit on the randall and i left my front ones on my old car! so had to race the wet with bold tyres! so the car wasnt handling as well as it should. W+Y Final = 3rd Heat = 10th Final = DNF GN = DNF W+Y final went well was leading it for a bit but i couldnt keep it tight enough on the bends as had a push (due to tyres), so happy with 3rd, and managed to win 2 yoko tyres! Heat, 10th, just kept out of trouble and just got some laps in to get the feel for the new car Final, was doing ok was in the top 5, but a car spun on the top bend and a push from 676 Neil Hooper put me in to the fence which bent a compression strut and put the bumper back to the wheel! GN, the throttle got stuck open a bit so decided to pull in after a few laps! All in all i was really happy with the car, if i had better tyres on maybe i would of done alot better! anyway down to St Day on sunday for thir W+Y Final! Hopefully Ali P will post some pics. Unlucky Kruiz, instead of fixing it why not come to cornwall and buy my HCD! Simon

Brum was a real good expericiance, learned alot, was nice to be well on the pace to with getting the bumper in and gaining postions! think i managed a 11th in the heat which wasnt bad, not sure where i was in the consi and pulled in for the GN as my stearing collumb came loose and i could feel it sliping lol, Taunton was good, no results as there was bearly 100 f2s there, but enjoyed the ride lol, bit of damage on the front, but can fix it lol Was nice to meet Kruiz, Jimmy, Mart (noe i no what he looks like lol), Pedz, think thats was it lol!

Well done Kruiz, bit of a shame on your gearbox! when mine went was a rush for time lol, and no worries for the help for the diff! Anyway i also raced yesterday! St Day 8th Aug With the rain pooring down before the meeting, i felt quite confident, as i spoke to Ali p in the pits pre meeting, i said this cold be my meeting lol, yet again how wrong i was! with the car numbers down it was a 2/3rds format with 2 heats a final and a gn (with single points in the final.) Heat= 9th Heat=DNF Final=9th GN=DNF Heat1 went all to pot, just couldnt get into the race like i normally can and was just sliding everywhere lol! Heat 2, i was running high up the places in a top 5 position, went to gain another place and caught the fence which bit, and pulled me in i could get out and ripped the whole of the front corner off! Final= after racing around like mad to get it out, we did manage to line up with the wheels abit wonkey lol, race wasnt to bad manage to miss all the crashes, so was happy with a 9th GN= was a bugger lol, was running 5th until the half way stage and makeing good ground, until a red top span on the pit corner and i went to miss him by going wide, then the rest i realy dont no what happend lol, with a puncture, broke axle, snapped shock nad axle bar all damaged! had to go on on the infield! All in all a poor day for damage! with, a broe wishbone, bottom arm, tracking arm, shock, axle, 2 alloys, axle tie bar, broe the mounth on the fin! anyway, im sure we will get her fixed up! roll on Brum! Si#31

Good evening lads, sorry for no updates, but ive been rushed off my trolley for the last mounth or so! with trying to keep the car up and running and keeping the misses happy! Any way here we go! Tuesday St Columb WQR 7th July! with me proberly doing the most laps around this track as i did race there for 6 years before, i felt quite confident going in to this one! How wrong i was! with 76 f2s at this meeting, i new it was gonna be carnage! Heat= 8th Final= 12th (only white top to finish the last ever f2 meeting at this track .) Gn= DNS (with taunton the next day i thought it would be wise to sit this one out as i would proberly wreak it lol) Not a bad night, but sadly only getting 3 WQR points from this one, but made the final so was happy enough! (also 1st time i raced the ledged 218 Rob Speak!) Wednesday Taunton WQR 8th July! Not much happend in this one as in the as i slowed up for 830 Andrew Bennet who had diff problems, 38 Dave Polley gave me wack up the rear pretty dam hard lol, which done some damge the motor which left me with a miss all meeting! With the car still handling crap, we took it up the Jon Hardings (Motorworld) for a setup! and my god has he transformed the car, it will now go round the bends lol! and am lapping .4 quicker round taunton then i was, with still more to come from the car . And also took the car up to SRD for the rolling road just to make sure the engine was still kicking out the same horse power and she was with some minor tweaks from the man himslef! Taunton Speedweekend 1st and 2nd of Aug!

Sorry for any spelling mistakes! and if Alip has any pics please post them! Regards Simon#31

Had a meeting yesterday, which was St Day's WQR my first chance to get some WQR points! Practice didnt go best seemed to be off the pace so changed a few things for the heats! Heat=7th Final= 6th GN=DNF Heat went well considering the amount of drivers and the qaulity, had a mess up on the 1st lap after missing 2nd gear and loosing about 4 places, maybe could of done a bit better if this wasnt the case! Final, with a big downfall of rain while we was lineing up, meesed the race up big time with most of the cars with warn tyres on, it made it very hard! luckily ive always liked the wet, and got in the lead after starting at the back of the whites by the 1st corner, and just kept pulling away, with quite a big lead, then with 7 laps to go, YELLOW flags which then put Bradbury, Moodie etc right on my rear bumper, on the drop i managed to get away and was leading for another 2 laps until Bradbury made his move, was hopeing for a top four finish, but after a hard hit from Bill Batton who i lapped earler in the race knocked wide and sideways which left me in 6th! 14 WQR Points, Best White Award, and £60 Prize Money! time for St Columb tommorow! Simon#31

Well Done Jimmy, seem to be takeing to it now , Quite a big update from me as i have done 3 meetings since my last update! First meeting was St Day, where we ran a 2/3rd format, in which i got 2 heats a final and a GN, in the heats! Heat 1= 10th Heat 2 = 8th Final= 8th GN= 11th Not a bad meeting, and was leading all of my races for atleast half of the race! Car Still handling crap lol. Second meeting was Taunton. Heat= 6th Final= DNF Heat went well, car wasnt going to bad, just tried to finish and keep in the points! which i did, the Final wasnt so good lol was running about 8th and on the last lap when 838 Matt Jeffries hit my back wheel and broke the axle and shock, so had to load her up, no GN Third meeting and this was on Sunday, we bite our lip and thought bugger it lets give Bristol ago, after doing some Setup changes, as we have decided to do it on our own now, the car was going fairly well, with a bit more luck and no yellow flags could of got some better results! Rookies Reward= 9th Heat=DNF Consi=8th Final= DNF Happy with the day seeings ive never drove the track before, and our setup seemed alot better for me! Thanks to some advice from Speedtech! Also nice to meet Trav365 Got 1 pic from Bristol thanks to Thunderpix, Maybe Ali P has a few more? Anyway time to get ready for the 3 WQR Simon#31

Another update, Taunton on bank holiday monday, with the bangers for Crasharama, the day didnt start very well with doing about 6 laps praccy, and 29 Chad Harris blew his motor sending oil on to the top corner, i went up the straght and seen about 4 cars in the wall, and i thought "see those muppets getting tangled up in praccy" so i chucked it in the bend and straght on she went lol bending the back bumper and axle bars, must say thanks to 430 Simon Edwards and 891 Darran wade for basiclly fixing it for me as i just watched lol, Results Heat= 9th Consi=6th Final= 15th GN= 15th Heat went ok, was leading a fair bit of the race to just after the half way point, car is a bit pushy in the dry, but we think its down to we are running a heavier spring on the inside so we changed this now. 9th not the best but the car feels alot better to what it was, and the lap times show this! Consi, wasnt the best was 2nd for most of it but couldnt quite get it right but 6th made sure we was in the final, which is what where hopeing for at the moment! Final was good, was leading most of it again, but as usual leading the wrong half of the race, had 2 restarts which wasnt good when you see Bradbury, Hooper etc in your mirror lol, held on to 2nd for a while but the pack soon shoved me wide, then when i got going again i gave 812 Scott Williams a shove in to the bend which spun him out and me going into the side of him lol. never mind! GN= Yet again leading a fair bit of it, but not enough! was a very fast meeting, really hot weather and even with the oil on the track from the bangers it didint slow the racing down! Got a couple of pics from Darran Foster, Hopefully Ali p got a few, as always very thankfull for his, top quality! A little love tap in the GN lol Simon#31

Evening all, Today raced Taunton, on a very very wet day im sure Ali P would agree, But this was the best meeting for me by far, the 4 link axle has transformed the car! seemed very stable in the wet conditions and i was under control of it at all times. Results Heat= 3rd Final= 8th GN= 12th ish (not sure lol) The heat went perfect, was leading half of it but got caught by 2 yellows as i wasnt driveing it hard enough, thoght i had a bigger lead then i did, The final was good aswell, leading most of it again, but got caught by the train and had a good battle with the blue tops, even tho in the GN i had my worst result, it was the race i enjoyed the most, was leading it, until the yellows came out, on the restart i was leading it for another 4-5 laps but drove one bad corner which set me well wide and went back to about 12th, then we had another restart and was giveing the bumper and getting it back, had a great battle with 315 Justin Fisher and 812 Scott Williams So got best in grade and a £65 prize money, due to highest white in the final getting £50 Back keen as ever, and were finally getting somewhere! Si#31

Leech that is bloody epic! Well done! Best by far!

Thats ok Jimmy, what i made the thread for yea i will be doing brum, northampton very soon once the car is sorted! Mart, i really cant comment on the tyres as my car is handling right, but from what when ive used warn ones and new ones i have felt no diffrence in the slightest in the dry, but this may change once we finally sort it, im quiet freindly with 105 Ross Rowe and hes a red top and very quick one at that, and he said he just runs his tyres until they are bold, he changes the outside rear every 3 meetings as they wear quite bad, but dont be afraid to flip them around and use the rotation the wrong way as it doesnt make the slightest bit of diffrence! May have to miss next meeting which im gutted about, as the gearbox was well and truely mashed! only 1st gear is fine so £400 later off tran x and a big dent in the my f2 fund we should be out for the end of the mounth Simon
