VRC oOple Races :)

[Alan Reeves]

Don't know if your all aware but there is an oOple VRC club!
Where oOple members can come together and race online! How cool is that?

As some of you may already know I have taken over from Andy Grason as club manager and have been holding monthly races, its close at the top this month but with only 4 racers I thought I'd drum up a bit of interest on here.

Here are the current standings, Quite good for me considering Bryan is a regular at EOS ......

Hi mate, Do it! You know it makes sense

[RogerM]

What do you guys race? Any decent setups? I used to use it a lot but got bored of just "practice" and never managed to make the big-dumb-trucks handle at all like I wanted so kind of gave it up.

[bpwain]

Just joined the oople club, but I'll second what RogerM said.... I've not used it for months for the very same reason

[Alan Reeves]

The stock 13 turn car really has very little to change, the mod is a different story!
If your struggling I can send you some of mine, or you can search the track tips posted on the site, there are plenty to choose from there.

Maybe we could organise a multi player session, all we need to do is set a day and time and do some real time racing

My connection and pc will allow me to host a race of upto 7 people at any one time.

Is this how you have been getting quicker on the track Alan?

Was impressed with your speed on Sunday, just the mistakes that let you down I think.

I'm on VRC, will try and get on for a game soon.

[Alan Reeves]

I think the biggest influence to my lap times on Sunday has been changing back to Durango!

I didn't get on with the other car at all tbh, hence I've not done any racing this year! Can only see me getting quicker as I get used to it

VRC is a bit of fun, I can race people from all around the world, and for sure it must help hand eye co-ordination, time will tell. I think I need to run more with the real car to get a better idea.

[RogerM]

What class do you race on VRC Alan, big dumb truck stock?

[Alan Reeves]

Trucks mostly, either mod or stock, I do play the onroad cars in multi player just depends who's racing what at the time.

[jaank]

IMO the ugly cardboard box on the wheels is a pointless class,
but the 1/10 EP is damn great. I have improved a lot over the time.

[Alan Reeves]

In response to the above I have added a tc class race to this months events

So for December we have 2 online competitions...

1. a 2 stage sc event on Silver Dollar Raceway, qualifying is running currently until Dec 14th then finals will run until the end of the month,

2. a 10th ep tc on the vrc carpet 1 track, this is an open event running until the end of the month where ftq takes all.


I have had a run in each, see if you can beat me

to give you guys some sort of benchmark I am f3 standard 10th offroad driver in real life.

Hope to see some of you online soon

[Alan Reeves]

Close racing this month in the boring car class with just about 0.05 of a second separating the top 2 after 24 laps,

lets see more of you racing

I purchased the unlimited deal at the weekend and received an email from vrc pro saying over 500 of the 1000 places have already gone.
I think they will sell the rest of the spaces quick once buggies arrive this Wednesday.
Don't miss out mate.

Silver Dollar IFMAR WC '13 has been released and is free I think.
Great track!

I was SO excited when I saw this!! I've been on there most of the evening, great track but the jumps on the back section are super hard!

[stew_zs]

Know what your saying Paul !!! How ever hard I try I can't get the angle or the pace to clear it like the fast boys are !!! I see on the video some guy on 5 laps

[Dodgy Guy]

I think it will be better with the 1/8th buggy. The sc trucks are a bit clumsy.
