Race details:

Date: 25. Mar 2010
Praccy Start = 19:00 CET 25 Min. free praccy
Qualifying = 19:25 CET | 30 Min.
Warmup = 19:55 CET | 5 Min.
Race start = 20:00 CET / 1900 GMT / 1400 EST (when will the US switch to DST this year?)
Race length = 120 Minutes (at least one driver change required)

Hi folks,

after months of hard work and preparations, I’m happy to be able to announce the immediate availability of the Brabham Masters Series 2010 download pack. You can download the entire file (490MB) here:

http://www.zitterpalme.de/post/rF_lite_and_bt52_season2010_readme_first_please.rar

The update contains 60+ beautiful car liveries from the bygone glory days of all areas of motorsport, an engine sound update, a car model update and much more.

We hope to welcome you soon on our practise server that’s available 24/7 from the lobby (look for “Brabham Masters Series” at Silverstone88).

A few more screenshots are available here:

To celebrate sending our long-time admin Matthias Vogt into well-deserved retirement from admin duties, we held a fun race at Hockenheim79 in the DRM Porsche 935 Turbo tonight, wich means I’ll be able to add another “real life” trophy to my growing collection of… one 😉

I ran the #70 Dick Barbour racing Porsche in tonight’s event, which back in the day saw Stommelen, Barbour and Paul Newman as its regulars to take a seat in the cockpit.

Out of twelve drivers, yours truly managed to finish 3rd after 35 laps, Matthias came second and “chief überalien” Bert Pitzke ran away with it as usual. Thanks for all your hard work Matthias, and we’re looking forward to seeing you as a  “regular, mortal” driver again soon when the BT52 Masters season kicks off in January!

Another net let-down: Googling up and down the net, scouring usenet and countless forums, I’m still unable to find contact details for the elusive rFactor modder that is “Santa rF”, creator of such excellent mods such as “Miniville” (kids racing game addon for rF) and the powerful beast named “Brabham BT-52”.

The fact that RaceSim Central has been down for a while now (again) isn’t exactly helpful, either.

Should anyone know how to get in touch with this ghost of the intertubes, please comment here, as I need to contact him about a skinset for the bt52 mod… thanks!
