I´m having some serious heat issues with the graphic card, it goes near 90ºC when i launch Rfactor and the computer hangs after barely 3 laps, even on Dx7 and low graphics settings. Fans are making a hell of a noise but something´s not right and i can´t see how i´ll be able to make more than 5 minutes ingame without crashing.

It´s a bit late, but i´ll have to pass on this race and work on some cooling for this computer

Just a reminder in case you haven't seen it yet

Awww Abat

But DX9 is most of the time better to run, DX7 makes no sense. And most mods and games today are running better with DX9?

Just pure desperation, i have tried everything but anything outside firefox makes the graphic card go toaster. Yesterday i got a lockup on qualy but didn´t think anything of it. Today i get one after 3-4 minutes And the whine of the fans is unbearable to booth.

It pisses me no end after yesterday´s performance, but what´s the point of making the race if i´ll be out in the second lap at utmost?

Aww tough luck Abat

Eric Campillo is qualified for the race then.

That's real bad luck Abat

I have to race with the PC case open as otherwise the videocard fries itself. I also use the free software "EVGA precision", which controls the GPU fan and prevents overhetating much better, plus it also shows in the top left corner of the screen the temperature while gaming.

Désolé je ne parviens pas à me connecter au serveur....

J espere que cyril était là pour prendre ma place.


Bonne course!

C'est pas encore parti, tu peux encore tenter (3 minutes de warm up)

Another disapointing event.

Suffered a hit from another driver on T3. The car was damaged and from that moment on I should have abandoned the race. I tried to continue but the car was in bad shape. I'm very sorry for hitting a Bennetton driver on the braking zone before right hook.

Qualifying went ok as i got into the 26 qualifiers

Today I started from scratch to build a setup and some trust for the lotus that I have never driven.. Got it to handle quite nice after few hundred laps or so and was able to make 1:25.5 with my race setup with 180 liters on tank. So far everything looked good.

Then when race started I got to the grid which was really cramped and I wanted to take the start really carefully if the guy in front of me wouldn't move.
Well, too carefully. Stalled the car before moving one meter, and that was it.

...maybe next time I put the autoclutch on just to avoid this happening again...

Awesome start, led the race then spun on the curve of the first fast chicane and then later I realised I hadn't adjusted my radiator size from 6 to 10 Engine dead after 12 laps.

This was an anticlimax . The race isnt won in the first or second not even in third corner, but some drivers seems to think that . Took a hit on me left rear in third corner that destroyed my susp ,tryed to fix it but it wasnt to be ..Race over


The only good thing this evening is that i didnt take time off from work to race tonight.

What just happened... from a superb race to comlplete disaster.... My car decided to lose the brakes. I never seen that before, and I confirmed in the drivers list where it shows "brakes" in me. Never thought this would happen

It happened to some drivers at Adelaide, but not that early in the race
It was live on TV and it looked like a nice save to avoid the tires

The car started swerving to the left while braking and then the brakes started fading more and more at each turn until the accident was unavoidable

That's a brake failure then. Did you change brake disk size to 8?
