New Racer
By: Jan van Lier Date: March 15, 2017, 4:10 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hey peoples,
My name is Jan van Lier and I'm new to the PC racing world. Been
doing Project CARS on Xbox One for the last couple of years
(well, since it was released) and just got a PC rig that can run
R Factor 2.
No idea how well I'll do in a proper league situation against
other racers but I usually finished semi decently on random
online Pcars races. I have been practicing on Rfactor 2 for a
couple weeks and I already like it much better.
Looking forward to getting some laps in, improving my skills,
and meeting some other fellow motorheads. Any tips on how to
begin would be appreciated because I literally just signed up
and have no idea what to do next.
Location: SF Bay
Home track: Laguna Seca
Setup: i7 6700, 1060GTX 3 GB, 16G ram
Thrustmaster TX, Playseat Evo
THANKS!!! :)

Hi and welcome we have a server up with the URD mod.
and fun run server but cars bit of a beast top drive :)
it is a paid mod but not too much mular and loads of fun worth
every penny. the other mods on page are just as good.
HTML https://www.unitedracingdesign.net/rfactor-2
its the EGT 2015 mod we will be racing this next :)
Best bet do loads of laps don't pay too much attention about the
lap times on our server we have some very fast guys.
RF2 Ai is not too bad add 10 cars set Ai to 95% try to beat them
then up Ai to 100% do same :)
Hopefully see you on track if you grab the URD mod :)

Thanks Simon! I'll grab the mods and jump in the server. Might
try a few practice laps just in case I have a chance to save
myself some embarrassment :)
See you there

Finally another Bay Area racer! Jan I will have to take you
under my wing. I am your Mama now and you will be my baby bird.
Don't worry it's just an analogy....kind of. All these Canadians
signing up in rapid succession has me wanting to toss my
cookies. I'm so happy to have another Californian with me. So
long everyone I used to have alliance with. So long you sons of
b!tches!!! Salvation at last!!!

Great Michael, as long as you won't be trying to feed me like a
mama bird we should be good!!
Just moved back to CA after stints in Philly and Denver, but
attended high school 2 miles from Laguna Seca and grew up going
to many events there. REALLY excited to be back, and very stoked
to start racing online more.
I'll be on the server (provided it's up) later tonight posting
laps. Just figured out how to edit my name.
Also want to give a shout out to Jimmy Broadbent, his YouTube
videos definitely pushed me over the edge to get more involved
in RF2
Cheers!!

Well the whole point of me saying that was so I could feed you
like a mama bird so forget the whole thing!!!
Michael has a tantrum and runs off crying

Welcome Jen,
Don't pay Michael any attention. I would suggest that he might
be a bit of a drama queen but then he would get upset and go
screaming off to his room and slam the door. ;) lol
Hope to see you on the track soon.

LOL!
And thanks also Chad.
Bout to jump on the server and turn some (probably pathetically
slow) laps.

Hi Jan and welcome!
Xbox one owner here too since two months :P I mostly do my
gaming with PC.
Good choice of a wheel. I have T500RS which is older than your
wheel but still very good.
Feel free to look around at the forums and ask questions/make
suggestions if you have any. VRC business board has our previous
official event results in it (also the shoutbox in the right).
Our history goes back further than you can see. Some of the
members have raced together for about two years already I think.
I've been racing rf2 since 7/2012 (wow how time flys).
We have a great group here and I believe there can never be too
much members. A lot of fast driver around here but not only
aliens, I do believe you will find somebody with a matching
level. I'm usually somewhere in the middle. We have a lot of
talent here other than in racing area also. Tom makes us race
recap videos (they are fun to watch...also Jean-Simon works with
this stuff), Simon and Melly Mem knows something about making
skins and other artistic stuff, Michael is (or trying to be :D)
helpful, me and Chad take care of administration. I also bring
results, update points and try to spread the word (please feel
free to tell us to your racing friends :) ). There are many
drivers here from who you can learn a lot and they are friendly
and willing to help you if needed. Everyone are a valuable
member of this league and part of making the racing great.
We are relaxed group that don't take racing too seriously.
Still, this hobby is important to us and we value having fun
while doing it. Clean racing is important (see the rules), it
makes having fun possible. We do compete so it's not only fun
runs but a friendly atmosphere all around is our thing.
Not sure what's up with the URD server, but try GTO server in
the meantime ;)
See you on track!
