Sad not to see anyone on Sierra or F1RST running a 330 server. If anyone
serves up a race how about posting here? The AI are getting predictable.

I don't think the 330 mod can be raced via Sierra. Since it uses a
hacked .exe for it's physic changes, it cannot pass the Sierra
scrutineering. Your only hope is find one of several leagues and join in
via ip numbers. I must say...using the 330 and David Noonan's old version
of Le Mans is the coolest. There is a problem with that track tho, the
walls merest touch can blow an engine. Fortunately, in the uspits forums,
there is a track ini file replacement that corrects this issue.

The old lemans I was referring to is originally from GPL and is the 1967
version without the Mulsanne chicanes and without the Porche curves.
Really throws a loop at you when the old brain remembers a turn that isn't
there.
It's probably available for dload from the uspits.com Dave Noonan built it
for GPL and then converted it to the Nr2k3 format years later.
online with 6 gears threw me the first time too. What you are seeing is
not the 330 mod but the Road Racing physics. So instead of a 5 speed 500hp
(or whatever the 330p4 had) you are getting the 700+hp and 6 gears from the
TA or TPTCC mods. Grip & everything reverts to the Sierra standards.
fire an email to f1dude and maybe he'll add 330 to first2.

You are correct. The 330 mod is actually the "pta mod" with a custom exe.
custom exe's are not possible on Sierra. But then why bother with Sierra
anyway?
Most serious leagues run a dedicated server, apart from Sierra, so 330 mod
or any other physics mod that requires custom exe files are ok. The upcoming
Team Redline GTP mod for example will require a dedicated server outside of
Sierra as well.
So, to repeat what Greg posted - want to race 330s online -
http://didnt.doit.wisc.edu/iicc
Just one of soon many leagues, I suppose. Our first 330 race is on Saturday,
the last one on Jan 1st for the 1000km at the Nuerburgring.
