WELCOME TO ROUND 6 ADELAIDE STREET CIRCUIT

The Adelaide Street Circuit (also known as the Adelaide Parklands Circuit) is a temporary street circuit in the East Parklands adjacent to the Adelaide central business district in South Australia, Australia.

The 3.780 km (2.349 mi) "Grand Prix" version of the track hosted eleven Formula One Australian Grand Prix events from 1985 to 1995, as well as an American Le Mans Series endurance race on New Year's Eve in 2000 (Race of a Thousand Years). Between 1999 and 2020 and again from 2022, a shortened 3.219 km (2.000 mi) version of the circuit has been used for the Clipsal/ Adelaide 500 touring car race. It is also being used by the Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

On Board: Scott McLaughlin final 10 laps Superloop Adelaide 500 Supercars

VERSION CHANGE TO ADELAIDE 1986

I can see many dark clouds on the horizon pre- and post-race about the cutting issue of primarily the first chicane.
So I have decided the following to prevent ongoing discussions about this and about who did what and how often and the penalties that should be given.

We will stay in Adelaide, but we will go back in time a bit further.
The added version of Adelaide will be: Adelaide 1986
This version is more exciting in my opinion and also has better overtaking opportunities.
Further more ... you will get a cut penalty if you cut the first chicane.

Qualifying:
For this round we will have private qualifying. That means that everyone will qual at the same time, but you won't see them, so you can do your laps without other cars on track.

SERVER IS UP!

Heads up! This track has a bug at the pitlane entry. The area on the left side is made of quicksand.
You will not sink, but you will have a hard time getting out of it. So don't overshoot.

 

Correct, it reflects the F1 1986 rules where the track came from
Safety wasn't as much of an issue back then. You could go through the pitlane at Warp speed.

 

Pit Lane Entry Grass Fix

Neil Wood has fixed the Pit Lane Entry Quicksand issue. Many thanks Neil!
You will download a patch file automatically when you enter the server.

If the patch does not install for you, you can find it here.
Put it in packages and install.

3. The use of the Esc. key in Qualification
Use of the Esc key during Qualifying is the equivalent of stopping your car and getting out. This may be done only in your pit stall. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Here are the only two we will currently consider. These exceptions are subject to change at any time:
1. You run out of fuel in pit lane before reaching your pit stall.
2. You sustain damage to your car as a result of another driver and cannot make it back to your pit stall. You must prove your qualifying session was wrecked by another driver and that you made an attempt to return to pit lane.

If you use the Esc key in any location other than your pit stall, your Qualifying session is over and you may not return to the track.

4. FORMATION LAP & STANDING START
At the end of the formation lap, please make sure you are lined up properly:
1) Find your grid position (the red square)
2) Move up slowly to the RED ARROW until it disappears and brake.

5. You can find the password for the race server on the Adelaide event page.

6. Unregistering in time if you can't make it.

7. Please use the SAME NAME in the rFactor 2 game as on our SRO signup list or it won't match in our automated result processing.

8. If you plan to PROTEST another driver, you have to wait 24 hours counting from the end of the race.
Any protest filed before that time will be viewed as not received. You can find the rules about submitting a protest here.
