Must ...be...strong...resist...

Mmmm...shiney...new... cars...big...shiney...

Actually I’d like to try a 1/24 car. Hopefully I can find one for sale cheap. For this season I’ll stick with the 1/32s until we get the details of the track sorted out. Still lots of bugs we are working on.

But, should the urge become overwhelming, I’ll be sure to send you the bill :banana-dance:

Hi guys,
Quick question for viewers, what are your thoughts on the highlights or no commentary race videos with music? Do you guys like music with those particular videos, or would you rather just have the live racing sounds. The second option includes a lot o us talking and cutting up. :lol: I can also mix the music with the video sound as I did in the last video. Thoughts?

Personally I don't like the music or maybe turn it way down. I like hearing the cars run and just the general talking that goes on. May sound boring to some people but I like hearing the comments that people make while racing.

I am with dw5555: better to listen to the cars and what people are saying...in this way feels more like be there.

Are you provide cars for everyone, or each racer bring their own car?
Here in Auckland NZ, we run digital on scalex. Digital requires specific rules: no shunting car from the back, change lane into another car, and if overtaking avoid side contact.
Mistakes happen, but in that case the culprit makes a track call. With the software we run (RCS64), each driver has a number of damage points assigned. Each track call takes one damage point away. Once you are out of damage points you need to get to the pit to repair and will cost you time. This is a good incentive to have proper etiquette on the track. Nowadays, we are getting so good at this that we have stints of 30+ laps without any track calls (our track is 25 meter and we like endurance races of 20+ minutes).

I have seen your videos since you started posting them and I really enjoy them.
The eagle-eye POV is quite nice. THe only addition I would like to see is to have a split screen where the viewer can see the RMS screen on the side and to know what is happening. So far I have seen only a guy in Germany doing this.

Keep them coming, it is nice to see a digital club alive and well!

Nice job Josh. I do like the commentary.

Likewise for the commentary - well done. If you could add some lap info it would be nice too. Not every lap, but it would be good to know when a race is at the halfway point, 10 laps to go, etc. I know this can be difficult if your adding the commentary afterwards.

Years ago when ABC used to broadcast the Indy 500 on delay the evening after the race they'd edit out delays and skipped some sections and never gave a lap count. Then, the announcer would suddenly say "just a few laps remaining", and the race would come to an end. When watching a car gaining or loosing ground on the track it's helpful to know at what point in the race it is.

I look forward to your videos. Are you awarding points and planning to have season champions?
