Quite a bit of on track action has been going on in the form of testing the new version out as well as working on the new livery set for 2015.
Personally I feel quite good and up to speed with the standard setups provided for the tracks, obviously it will take some time to produce some better setups. but just taking small sets to get back into the racing side of things as well as preparing for an endurance real life karting event this weekend at Thruxton.
As you can see the new livery is looking great, two cars now have the 2015 livery applied to them, The Formula Abarth and McLaren (below). you can watch a hotlap at Spa, using the McLaren, the new livery and with the excellent onboard camera in the corner. It was a lot of fun pounding around Spa with this car and getting faster and faster.
Vermin Racing is very much looking towards the future. Hopefully with the intention of racing in 2015. With that said, the future of the website is being worked out and I have decided that all the NetKar stuff (except the results and some of the videos) will be archived and removed from the site to make things look a lot slicker. Netkar will no longer be supported by Vermin Racing as after many many years it seems the community has either moved on to other simulations or shifted to Assetto Corsa. It has become harder to find competitive races for the last two years, luckily I have found some excellent leagues and racers to compete against but it is time to close the door on Netkar racing.
Which means I am open to running the team in some more sims, even if I don't own the simulation myself I would like to branch with other racers and offer them support and knowledge with set ups and design. One game I am looking to possibly test the water with will be RaceRoom... It's something I have tried in the past and did not get on with, but I think it would be a good platform to get other racers envolved since it is free to play.

There may also be a few other simulators I am looking at but as always the primary team will be Assetto Corsa. Any suggestions for sims will be welcome.
I will leave things there for now. There will be a break in updates for the next week or two, have a great halloween and see you on track.
