DanSkin Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Hi folks. Race season is closing in on us fast! For the next few weeks the UK Dirt rFactor F1 Stockcars (Real Skins) server is available to anyone for some fun / practise / experience racing online. I know it's often a bit quiet, and can be dull turning laps by yourself. So we'll try to organise some casual race evenings (no booking in or pre-selecting cars, no points series, no results threads, etc). Hopefully just some good practise racing! Oh... and it's a great excuse to play with the great mod update! I'll run two of these evenings this weekend Saturday 18th February and Sunday 19th February from 7PM in the server. Specifically tracks: Saturday: Northampton, Belle Vue, Birmingham, Coventry Sunday: Kings Lynn, Skegness, Sheffield, Hednesford Taking in 10-15 minutes of practise at a track followed by 4 short races back to back.</strike> ******** After last weekends success we will run again Saturday 25th Februaryand Saturday 3rd March from 7PM in the server. <strike>Saturday 25th February: Nutts Corner, Mildenhall, Skegness, Bradford (S), Knockhill Saturday 3rd March: Bradford (T), Scunthorpe, Ipswich, Coventry, Wimbledon Taking in ~10 minutes of practise at each track follow by 2 races. Just to clarify to EVERYONE after the first week. The server is open to anyone, but no nonsense will be tolerated! ******** Open to everyone - members and non members. Servers can be found in the rFactor game list and I will add the IP on this post closer to the time.[/color] All I would ask is that people register their interest or intent to turn up, a few folks might lure a few more out of hiding.

DanSkin Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Posted February 17, 2012 All UK Dirt rules will apply during these sessions... so in general please BE NICE and DRIVE NICE. If there are enough cars we'll line up roughly graded, if anyone is dominating we can shuffle it up. There will be no pre-selected skins, if you come into the server and someone has that skin - pick another. It's only a bit of fun and not the end of the world! All I would ask is that people register their interest or intent to turn up, a few folks might lure a few more out of hiding.

Grasser233 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 I should be about for the Saturday session.

freew67 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 Good fun tonight, thanks Dan and UKDirt for putting this on.
DanSkin Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Just a quick bump to say thanks to everyone who turned up tonight (Saturday), I thought it was a very enjoyable evenings practise and racing. We got about 20 different people in over the evening, and a good mix of current, new and and non members. Don't forget we're doing similar again tomorrow night (Sunday 19th) from 7PM! Kings Lynn, Skegness, Sexbierum, Hednesford 10-15 minutes practise and then some races at each track! Edited February 18, 2012 by DanSkin
Mav Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 Enjoyed it - Thanks Dan. Was good to get back into it and like the new chassis I have tried for this season. Hopefully more of the same tomorrow night.
Grasser233 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 Good evening's racing. Nice to get back into it, I'm hoping to be racing more permanently this year. Didn't get a lot of luck in any race but that's to be expected as I've not raced properly for ages... I'll try and make tomorrow if I'm free.
southy277 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks Dan for running it. Think that some of the new lads need to calm down. I think Grasser got caught a few times my me when I got launched at by a few of them. Mav - you took some catching in them races at Cov - WD mate.
Spiro Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 sorry i was a no show, looking doubtfull for tonight aswell so apologies. looking forward to the racing season tho
Menace330 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Ill be there tonight but i dont know the IP?
DanSkin Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 You can find the server in the server browser list, just like any other server. I will also add the IP to the first post while we're in there for anyone having trouble finding it.
Shrek296 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 ill have a go at that, is the server up just now cause canny find it
DanSkin Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 server is up, ip added to first post in thread
DanSkin Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 Just a quick bump again to say thanks to those who turned up. We got to around 20 drivers again, so really not too bad. Perhaps the mood was a little less calm than last night, but hopefully the majority of people had some fun. Keep an eye out during the week, we'll probably set up something similar for next weekend.
NielsR Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Is there going to be another practice weekend this weekend?
