Simulated racing

Which website did you go to? Was there a race or a practice session. I'm gonna practice on iRacing til I find out about a Kokomo/Bloomington/Eldora rFactor league or something similar. I'm still a little confused about the different rFactor leagues, so I'm waiting for some email replies.

All the track I have are from the BOZ racing site. I ran a winged car at Eldora and Williams Grove then non wing at Fremont, Lowes, and Bloomington. Did practice, qualifying and raced at Bloomington, Eldora, and Lowes. Other places I just practiced. Had anywhere from Only 2 people up to I think 7 of us running non wing.

****Make sure when you get tracks from the BOZ site you get them from the Sprint Car Tracks tab, not just the general dirt tracks.

Ok, I downloaded Eldora and a 2010 Sprint mod is downloading now. Now I'm trying to figure out how to put the virtual car on the virtual track.

once both are downloaded, double click them as they have their own installers. Once done open up rfactor, go to series and select the Sprint Mod, then select the track and let the elbows fly! I just do a lot of "testing" offline. Then when I go online I just look for a race running a track I know or like.

Which mirror site did you use to download it? I tried two and they both timed out before the download started.

That is called spectator mode and is in the network settings, but its easy to forget its on and then you wonder why you cant race lol.

Thank you. Maybe this will help me get my fix until my new engine is done being installed and something to keep me motivated (and out of my wife's hair) in the off season.
