Feels like with a bit more practice I could knock those lap times down to the 1:11's.My car, SS.net Nationwide mod @Watkins Glen Revamped.NR2003 2018-04-10 00-31-36.jpg

Mod: SS.NET COT
Track: Orlando 2017 by APT
Fast setup, default everything else.

One major difference between their 2014 Orlando and their 2017 Orlando is that 2017 didn't have the 230 MPH racing that 2014 (and the track it was based off of - Tiburon International from NASCAR Thunder 2003 ) had by default. It instead came with a second track.ini that, when swapped out with the default .ini, would supposedly enable 230 MPH racing. Except it didn't. If anything, it made racing slower! Had to go in manually and fix it myself, and I have no way to contact APT to tell them about this little bug because I don't have a Facebook (and with good reason!).

So is the .ini modified? Yes, but only to what it should have been within the download. I bet if one were to download it today, the second .ini would not allow for 230 MPH racing.

Long story short: developer oversight fixed by changing a number from "2" to "5," thus saving the day and removing restrictor plates for an authentic Orlando experience.

This is exactly what I would love to do in real life, buy a Spec Miata 1.6 liter engine that produces 178hp/150ft-lbs of torque which is basically a street legal car with a roll cage in it and drive it at Mid America Motorplex! This is at night, I did it just because I can, I don't think they allow night racing there since I don't remember seeing lights for the track when I was there, I guess I could look it up on their website. My car WIP, gearing adjusted the little bit you can, default for 10:00 PM local time. I need to write down what day they use as the race date.rFactor 2018-04-30 14-49-08-27.jpg rFactor 2018-04-30 14-51-50-35.jpg
