User manual

Air temperature:
Temperature effects the cooling of the engine and the engine performance. You may have to adjust your fuel
mixture or even the setup (glow plug selection and head shims) when temperature is very different from the
default value of 20 degrees.
Atmospheric pressure:
Pressure has a significant effect on the engine performance. Lower pressure will result in lower performance
and may require a different head shim to change the compression, a different glow plug or even clutch
adjustment to optimize the performance.
Humidity:
Humidity has some effect on the performance of a nitro engine and may require changing the glow plug or
head shim to optimize the engine performance.
When you click on the Practice now button you will go to the track. Your car will be placed in the pit lane.

Off-line practice results are not stored on your on computer or on the VRC server. All laps except for running in
Disabled, no timing mode, will be stored and reported to the VRC server at the next time you go on-line as
they will count for your v-kilometers.
Practice without other cars
If you prefer to practice alone use this option, all the other cars on the track will be disabled. You will then be
in the standard practice mode warm up and can start a qualify run or a race run, just by yourself.
Level of other cars on the track
There are 3 levels of cars: easy, medium and hard. Select the level that suits your own racing level. The
selection of cars that are available to practice and race with will be refreshed frequently.
Practice with collision on
You can switch collision on and off. When collision is ‘ON’ the other cars can run in to you and you can crash
with them. This is of course more demanding and challenging.
Other cars on the track
You will be able to practice and race with other cars on the track. The number of cars depends on the
performance of your computer, the maximum is 9. The frame rate of your pc is monitored and the number of
opponents is automatically adjusted for your next practice session to achieve the best game play at 60 frames
per second (fps). To increase the performance you can adjust your graphics settings under ‘Options’.
Click on the check box to select one or more cars. A grey dot means that the data must first be downloaded
from the server. A green dot means that the data is already stored on your pc.
When racing with other cars on the track you can start a race with these other cars. Your car will be starting
from position 1 on the grid. The duration of the race will be adopted from the opponent cars.
Warm up
You start your practice run from the pit lane, you are now in warm-up mode until you decide to start a qualify
run or a final run. During the warm-up the lap times are recorded. You can run in warm-up mode as long as
you like. Click on Esc key or on the Abort button when in the pit lane to abort warm up and return to the pit
table.
