    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Renault Sport Megane Trophy.

Edit: Apparently an illegal mod, so it was pulled from rFactor Central. Check their forums for a legal version.

The successor to the popular Megane Trophy and Clio V6 cup, this new model is based on the current Megane Coupé but even though it shares it's looks with the road car, underneath it's quite a different beast. Tubular steel chassis, 500 hp 3.5 liter V6 engine and rear wheel drive. With an empty weight of less then a 1,000 kilo's it is a real racer.

Did a few laps around Zandvoort, Toban and the Nurburgring and I like it! Still a bit rough around the edges but nothing a bit of tweaking can't solve. It bounces on the suspension on rough patches so much the floor hits the tarmac. The steering is too light, get the upgrade with 'assist level 1' and make sure you set the force feedback to -100%. Decent sounds with a loud back fire!

The previous model Megane Trophy is available here: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Megane Trophy

Or the eurocup version here: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Megane Trophy Eurocup 2008

If you like Renaults but would like to start with a bit less power, I suggest this Clio mod: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Clio Cup 2008

Even though the Clio is a streetcar with only a four cylinder engine, it performs quite well and will even oversteer when pushed too hard. Fun car, great model!
