Anyone here running these games ?
We are looking for participants. Ideally we are looking for folks living in the Ipoh area. If you are elsewhere we can consider hooking up online. If however you are in Ipoh, we run a LAN meet for most of Saturday at a cybercafe (yes, we cart and set up all our gear to the cybercafe just for the Saturday LAN meet). The Saturday event is 8 hours long (9am to 2pm for the morning session; 1 hour lunch break; 3pm to 7pm for the evening session). You can pm me for details.
Generally races are casual (mostly 10 lap sprints given the short attention span of most participants) but 'anything goes' really. It's up to the participants to vote for what track, cars and races to run. Like I said...we are casual. We run the full practice period during events which means you have plenty of time to check out the track, tweak your car setups, and chase each others tail during practice. We welcome sim-racing newbies. We're not even remotely good sim-racers but we are certainly better than the average hack. If you are a newbie to GTR2 and rFactor, we can give you a 'leg-up' and go easy with you in the events, but the rest is up to you. You got to have some perseverence and dedication to learn the racesims.
Generally, if you have already gone to the trouble to buy rFactor and activate the full game, and even GTR2, we assume you meet the pre-requisite of the dedicated sim-racer since these games require a good computer and some specialized hardware (steering wheel and pedals) to run.
Currently we have only 2 core members here (including myself) and looking to expand the group. I won't mind being honest with you that we had several people join up but they quit soon after because they found the games too difficult.
It's NOT your typical arcade no-brain Need For Speed or PS2 race games. For those of you who think you are the best in NFS and think you can come in and whip butts in rFactor or GTR2, then you are in for a nasty surprise.
In other words, this invitation caters mostly for dedicated sim-racers only. If you have no prior experience in sim-racing, you are still welcomed but aware of what you are getting into.
The sims are actually heaps of fun if you are willing to put in the effort to learn. They are still two of the most realistic racing simulations you can play on a computer.
