Hello all,
Not been on here for a long long time and have registered under a different driver name (ExplicitChimp) but used to race on here a long time ago as Wes Cassar. Before all the abuse starts, when I say race I mean drive slowly round a track with the occasional lap being completed successfully, but generally my stats were DNF. I am just getting back into it slowly, so will be planning on doing the practice sessions only for now. I want to get to know rFactor 2 a bit first and relearn some of the stuff I have forgotten, like how to roll the car on it's roof etc.
I hope everyone is well, and will hopefully see you on the track sometime.
Cheers,
ExplicitChimp (Wes)

Welcome back Wes, no problems being slow👍🏻 I try to get online on a Monday night so if you are on I’m happy to answer questions on rF2 or setups (and share) as much as I’m able or advise on my braking points etc
You’ll be racing on a Friday before you know it 👍🏻

Hi Wes, welcome back. I thought you sold all your kit? Hi Wrighty, I did sell it all mate, but I have bought a G920 and have a cheaper stand coming rather than a rig. The rig took up too much space so the only place for it was the conservatory, which was too hot in summer and too cold in winter lol. This time I can fold it away, but I am currently have chair push back problems, so when the stand comes I will try and rig up something to clamp the chair to the stand temporarily. I am going to stick to one screen so it should be all ok. Lets face it, having 3 screens isn't going to help me, it made me feel sick whilst rolling

Once I moved house the conservatory killed it, but this time I think I have a plan .

Thanks Mate, I am reading over some of the more simpler stuff posted on here, as I am determined this time to get to grips with the setups. I downloaded the cars and tracks off the practice server to try it all out and managed to trim a few seconds of my time just fiddling with the camber a little bit. She seemed to like having her camber trimmed a little and went a bit faster round the corners. Anyhow, I figured without learning about it, it is going to be hard so I am determined this time to take some time and get into it slowly. I need to relearn what all the flags mean, how the races work etc. Although for now I am just going to do the practice sessions and maybe tune in to the race to listen in / ride in a car whilst someone else is driving <---- if that is possible??? I have quite literally forgotten everything It is good to see that most of you are still on here, it has been quite a while.

If you are struggling with basic speed don’t worry about setting up the car, a good setup will only trim a few tenths off your lap times and anyway you can’t set up a car until you are consistently on the limit of what the car can do. I find the biggest aid is the delta that scoops mentions above (it's toggled by the 5 key on my PC) - the immediate feedback of it going blue (negative) when I try a different line or different braking point has often shown me a half second improvement in a single corner.
