FAQ
- Presence on Mumble is not mandatory, but highly encouraged.
- While the series is open for anyone to join, please practice until you feel comfortable around the track before joining the race.
- These cars use varying amounts of ABS and TCS in real life. Do not be ashamed to activate them if you are struggling.
- If you are experiencing low fps and your game seems to be in slow motion, try reading this.
HOW MUCH FUEL DO I NEED?
1800(which is 30 minutes in seconds)/leader's fastest lap in seconds=amount of laps for race.
Look at your HUD (the one with the tachometer in the middle and the lap delta at the top) and at the bottom right it shows you your fuel left and how much you use per lap. Multiply that by the amount of laps for the race.
ex. On a track that takes the leader 1:30 to get around: 1800/90=20 20*3.10L per lap=62L needed for the race. Don't trust the in game fuel calculator in the setup menu.
Wat Car Iz Gud?
If you don't really have any idea what you're doing, especially in the setup menu, use the Aston Martin Vantage or Callaway Corvette. These are the easiest (which usually means fastest) to drive out of the box, especially for someone new. Just make sure to use Soft tires and set the tire pressure to the lowest.
