Whilst waiting for the new year to come in, I've completed a possible shale skin for 2015 Season (Sticking with 2014 Tarmac car).

No Danny I was using a £5 Microsoft Sidewinder wheel lol And the way its going with the G27, I may still be using the Sidewinder next season Going to use the G27 on Monday night so look out everyone

Cheeky!!! Well it's arrived So now it begins............again!

Does anyone still make renders for any of the mods on rFactor? If anyone does, and is willing to make some for me, please let me know, as I have a few I would like to be done for a project I have. Many Thanks

Just ordered one, so we shall see what's its like very soon!!!

THE HARMEN HUNTER booking In Mav_Jnr #NZ9s

WELL DONE RITZO!!! By far the most improved driver in 2014 Well deserved.

Was I not 10th in the Shalemac Final Wardieee? Not a track I like, as I just can't get on the pace or be consistant, but to get 10th in the Shalemac Final was amazing, wanted to do better in the W&Y's, then to win the Consolation was a pure bonus Yes it was aided by the reds imploding, but when you look at the result in a whiles time that won't matter! In the GN, I took an opportunity to do some needless and unnecessary hits and not within the spirit of racing, just like a footballer does wreckless challenges and by the reaction it got I think it worked! I hated doing them but it proved a point I feel. Wreckless driving is the one thing I think ruins rFactor's racing, its image and drivers enjoyability. No one says after a wreckless race - "That was brilliant guys, great race" do they? For the meetings I have raced this season, I would like to thank Stumpy, Wardieee and the remaining F2 Admin for putting on a great show - Thanks Guys

Hadn't tried F2's so I didn't know if it failed or not. Seems to be the issue Jake! Your spot on Samson - I deleted the file in the Superstox folder and I can now load up replays and see the pace car in the middle without the error popping up. Many thanks Samson

I noticed that when I was doing donuts in the Grand National on Thursday - Temp car was in the middle not an F1.

Since I downloaded Superstox, I have had an error occur when I raced F1's on Thursday. rFactor loads, I can choose everything, I can connect to the server but when the game tries to go online it pauses 3/4 of the way. I tabbed out to find I had an error message : MISSING : HAMMER.MAS I am able to click on OK and it disappears and the game continues to load. I raced ok on Thursday so the game works fine. Today I watched the replays of my races and it again stops 3/4 of the way when loading the replay, so I have to tab out again, click ok and the replay then starts. Any ideas why this is happening and how I can stop it please?

My last F1 meeting this season as the next two weeks I am with my daughter who is taking her Gold Ice Skating exams at Nottingham Capital FM Arena. Nice to see Corny's return, great to line up alongside Big Al, making it feel like UK Dirt of old! So as I couldn't be 100% certain of still being at the top of the W&Y's table after the next two rounds, I had to attend and see it out! I didn't want to think that I "Did what I had to do", so as with the previous two times I won the title I decided to go for it and see what happened, at least that way I felt I had earned it if I was still at the top at the end. I was very happy with practice obtaining my first ever .5 lap time. The W&Y race went really well up until the last bend! I thought it would be a great way to seal the title by winning the race but for some unexplainable reason I ended up in the fence facing the wrong way I emerged to finish 7th behind my two nearest rivals, but because neither of them were 1st or 2nd, I claimed the title, albeit in disappointing fashion! Nevertheless I must be the saddest UK Dirt F1 Champion, as having won the lowest Championship for three out of four years proving that I haven't been good enough to get to blue in four years!!!! The heats were traumatic also. Healthy lead in Heat 1, only to be attacked by three whites whilst I was lapping them, allowing drivers to catch and pass me, I eventually finished 3rd. Heat 2, having a good battle with 451, until Tom caught up and passed us both, 451 & I did try and challenge but again last bend I ended up in the fence somehow facing the wrong way and crawled over the line in 8th. I was getting disheartened now and having lead Heat 3 most of the way I could see Wardieee closing in. I really didn't expect to finish but no hit came and the last lap board was shown. I thought I can't loose another race on the last bend surely! But Wardieee went for it on turn 1, we both clattered the Armco and bounced out, side by side down the straight and into the final bend we went. I had settled for 2nd, but Wardieee went to T-bone me wide but he spun and left me to cross the line to take a win that really made me smile Final I crashed out after 451 spun collecting the entire field almost! Charged back to make 10th although why Harmen had to bury me hard on the last bend when he was a lap down on me I don't know! I was again in the fence facing the wrong way on the final bend of the race! This time I slammed it into reverse and went side by side with Harman over the line but I was backwards lol Wanted to finish the season off with a good race and possibly a win, but 3 laps in 474 decided this wasn't to be. I was forced into a spin and 474 drove at my front end to get past and smashed my suspension and that was that. My season ended there. I amused myself with donuts on the centre green as the race was finishing So there you have it, F1 2014 UK Dirt Season concluded with 5 wins (most I have ever got), nearly two final wins - lost one on the last bend, seems to be a theme running here lol (never won one yet!) and reclaiming the Whites & Yellows Championship. Happy with my season, thanks to all who raced this year - Its been a blast

Name: Mav Number: #641 Grade: Blue Hopefully it all works, not tried it yet!

My evening started unusually at 6:15pm, but having never raced at Arena I had no setup nor experience of the style to race. Found I was consistent eventually but still not as quick as the other yellows, or whites even! W&Y's went as perfect as I could have hoped. No Ricky, Ritzo up to blue and I managed a 4th behind the flying whites and an under-graded yellow First two heats and I got away to chase down the whites, did catch them but decided I wasn't going to challenge as that would just cause us both problems, so I stayed behind and followed them across the line. They worked hard to be there and deserved to have the win, so congrats to Wardy and Mark Puxty. Heat three, final and GN were all races that others have described above - "Pointless" Its not a good feeling to be abused on track when it isn't necessary. Really pleased for Ritzo, great result from blue! Well Done Ricky on your heat win, nice to see you going well for a change! Now my apologies! Firstly to Stox246 - Not what I wanted to do and tried to avoid it but when you are being pushed when you don't wish to be, not a lot I could do about it - Sorry. Secondly to Dan236 - Stupidly returned the double abuse I received from you in the final, after you rammed me out of a points position twice! so I snapped when you passed me in the GN - Sorry. Finally to everyone - My son, Mav_Jnr, is not interested in conforming to the norm and chooses to fight back when passed. Problem is he looks up to the idiots who think that bangers is the way to drive F1 Stock Cars. He says that if he lets people go by without challenging them then he will end up at the back racing himself and that would be boring. He has a point! But its the manner he fights back that annoys people. His practice consists of chasing the idiots around the track, trying to demolish them as they do him. He really enjoys this, its fun, but it doesn't prepare him for the meeting, track craft and all that. So into the meeting and his setup is useless and he just floors it all the time causing him to be all over the place, which makes him a liability. He leaves because its no fun to him when he isn't competitive and when everyone starts moaning about him, but if the idiots weren't idiots in practice, Jnr may just learn to be competitive. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying he is an angel, far from it, he is just a bad driver taught by the wrong crowd, and until disciplinary points are given out for practice this won't stop. I will now try to discourage him from racing as I fear that he may continue in this manner, unless he is banned again after last night! So my apology is to anyone whom Jnr ruined their races, would be better coming from him I know - but teenagers never conform do they!

Is there a link or site address?

Having always watched the live stream on a laptop without sound, I was surprised to tune in (After the World Final) and hear Grasser and Hooty? + others doing a commentary on the racing. I thought it was fantastic! It really added something to the live stream and I ended up just watching the stream rather than the TV It got me thinking as to what the commentary would be whilst I was racing and wondered if the stream was ever recorded for playback afterwards? I have always been interested in what the views of others were of races as you only see it from your perspective. I really did like the conversation regarding the Whites & Yellows Championship - It was spot on Anyway, Well Done Grasser & Co, a brilliant idea well executed, a massive bonus to those of us who are not able to attend for one reason or another, ie It's not a W&Y round! lol

Congrats Dan!!!

Thought I would do better than I did, but even with an hour+ practice I just couldn't find a setup that was stable. One bend would be perfect but then the next bend would be all over. First time in a long, long, while I asked for help as I pride myself on doing my own setups and racing them to the best I can. However the setup was too loose for me and I wasn't as lucky as Ritzo to change a few things and suddenly be able to be doing red top pace. Every race I went to, I changed a few things but the server was set to race so quickly that I didn't make a lap sometimes, so had to go with what I had! The one race I did like the setup I got 7th - The best it got for me all night. I must apologise to Jack #249 for wiping him out in the Grand National, it wasn't intentional at all - Sorry

Also forgot to list - 109faldS Its a strange one Danny!

NO SHOWS - Weeryan #79 Says at the bottom of the home page that he is 21 today, so possibly a good reason why he wasn't racing is that he's away getting wasted!!

Hi Guys, After being gutted to have missed the Coventry meeting, I set about finding the difference between my back up and my current files after downloading Skinpack 6. I have found something that when corrected I am able to do everything I think I can do and have connected to the server (But cannot check the cars in server - no one was in there!) Not sure why others didn't have this problem, but it may just be how my game has installed - I don't know. Anyhow, what I have found is, In the veh files there is a section at the bottom like so : FullTeamName="UKDirt (Shale)" TeamFounded= TeamHeadquarters="" TeamStarts= TeamPoles= TeamWins= TeamWorldChampionships= Category="ShaleOL" But in several vehicle files the bit in bold read "Novice (Shale)" and this I think was confusing my game! The following cars had this "Novice" in where I think it should have "UKDirt" 43SmiT 93FaldS 109WainT 134fwjT 480stuS Once changed and overwritten then my game seems to have worked. Thanks to Hamster, Dan & Grasser who tried to resolve my issues before the meeting.

Ah go on then! Name: Mav Number: 641 Grade: Yellow

If I book here that is only for the meeting - I can't take part in the LCQ? I thought the 6:30pm deadline was for the Euro Qualifiers only and the LCQ was an open house - That's how I read it, but you now say the LCQ & Euro is closed?

Beaten by a Tom again!!!! 2nd on Shale and 2nd on Tarmac in Finals this season - Gotta be happy with that!! Even tried to race in reverse in the Grand National, but its not quicker! Well Done Liam on your Victory in the European Championship
