Watkins Glen 1965

Watkins Glen 1975

TRACK: 75 Watkins 1.60
Author: motorfx
This track is a derivative of the NR2003 Watkins Glen "The Boot" track created by Chris Squir
Track Page: rFactor Central

October 3, 1965 at Watkins Glen, it was cold, 45 degrees, 30 mph winds and on Sunday it rained. We'll match as much of that as we can. No rain, but 45 degrees and windy is doable...it's not the same layout as you can see by the track maps up there, but we'll have fun...

TEMP: 45 Degrees
WIND: 30 MPH EAST
PITTING: N/A

October 1965
The Beatles "Yesterday" was number One on the Top 40, the rest of the top ten included "Hang on Sloopy" by The McCoys, "Turn, Turn, Turn" by The Byrds, "Get Off of My Cloud" by the Rolling Stones among other classics!

So Turn, Turn, Turn, a Hot Lap!

 

[Highbank]

OH man is this a different kind of racing car!

BEST LAP: 2:17.777
Wasn't really comfortable with this technology but I wanted put up a lap, I'm betting there are single digit runs out there or at least a 11 or 12...
Ton of fun...

Site for the mod mentions v2.202 about 3 times.. Then you pick any of the 3 download links and they're all v2.0.2

And Im kinda scared of that .zip file with a ton of folders.. If I brick my rFactor install, Im coming looking for you Highbank!!

 

[Highbank]

I had no issues just download the main folder not all the sub folders

 

[M_Nesevitch]

Where'd you see a weather setting? All I can find is Sunny or Overcast?

Let's see, I have like a 50's version of this track, a 65, 67, 69, 70, 73, 77, 79, 82 and on and on and on. Personally I would have gone with the '65 or '69 with these cars.

 

[M_Nesevitch]

Any clue why it won't keep lap times? It doesn't even register that I'm running a lap. (No sector times or even registering how many laps I've run. Just blanks.. But it keeps the speed and the "test" time clock is there ticking? My hair, my hair.. I just don't have much left fellas..

 

[Highbank]

Did you get a DQ?

I'm just trying to put these together as fast as I can...I didn't see a '65 or I would've done that

 

[M_Nesevitch]

Did you get a DQ?

Don't think so.. Thought maybe I was cutting the chicane or something so I went through there slow and couple times, but it never even starts recording lap times.. Just shows up as - - on my screen.. I wanna play!!!!

 

[Highbank]

In Testing mode?

 

[Highbank]

BUT...what you're really saying is according to posted times...I'm still fastest...silver lining for me!

The '65 tracks should have been with the '65 mod, I'm not blaming you for anything.

 

[M_Nesevitch]

It must of just loaded funny.. 2nd time around it's keeping times now! When I complete a lap that is..

I'm thinkin if all the cars in that mod are similar speed wise and we're going with the basic/generic setup settings, a 2:10 or so is gonna be about the limit..

I take it you can edit an ini somewhere to alter the weather? Cause inside the game all I've got is overcast or sunny to choose from?

 

[Highbank]

Yes, I'm sorry I should have remembered that...just put that in out of habit

 

[The_Tigg]

My Super Formula Mach 5 default everything else.
