WELCOME TO ROUND 1 BURIMA - CHANG INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT


Chang International Circuit
The Chang International Circuit is a permanent racing circuit near Buriram in Thailand. The circuit opened in September 2014 and was designed by Hermann Tilke, who has also designed several Formula One circuits. It is the first circuit in Thailand to receive a Grade 1 license from the FIA and a Grade A license from the FIM, allowing the circuit to host Formula One and MotoGP races.

Since 2015, the circuit has hosted races in the Superbike World Championship and the Supersport World Championship, as well as the TCR International Series. That year, a race in the World Touring Car Championship was also held for the first time, but this race was cancelled after one edition due to organisational problems. Since 2018, the circuit has also hosted a race in the Grand Prix motorcycle racing championship.

The server will go up on Monday, March 10.

I tested both classes LMP2 and GTE, and I'm switching to the GTE class. Those cars are more rewarding to drive and the racing will be intense.

 

WHEN YOU GO TO THE SERVER, ONLY CHOOSE CARS FROM THE LMP2 AND GTE CLASS.
The mod is too big to filter out all the correct cars.

A lot of guys here are making their own skin. Can anyone of you please give Freddy some info on how to get started making a skin for rFactor 2?

 

GREEN & RED LIGHTS

For anyone that does not know: being a red light on the signup list means that you are on the waiting list for that car class. Green means you are in the race.
The LMP2 will take 13 cars and the GTE will take 17 cars maximum, for a total of 30 cars.

You will not see this on the overall championship page. You have to open the event itself to see if you are green or red.
There is currently 1 LMP2 red light.
If you are a red light and still want to race, you have wait for people to unregister, or change car class if there is room there.

 

Working from the idea that we will get a full grid with a 13/17 split, is based on the idea that the GTE's should not get overwhelmed by LMP2's.
If, however, the GTE class does not max out on the signup list a few days before, I will add 2 more LMP2's, and if there are more red lights even more to a max of 30 cars total.
Good idea.

 

Let's continue the Pescara Poll here or it won't be noticed anymore.

SUMMERTIME

Please be aware of the fact that we are on British Summer Time on Sunday, April 6 and the Qual time = 19:00 GMT

 

RACE WEATHER

 

No rain. It will be dry the whole race. It just changes the cloud cover.

 

My sound is not gone, but always soft when starting rF2. I go to "sounds" and change the "speaker configuration" to either one of the 3 options. That makes the sound louder.

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

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

6. 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.
You can change your name in the rFactor 2 "Profile" menu.

7. 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.

8. You can find the server by typing SRO or the track name. Add the server to your favorites so you can always find it.
If you can't find the server in the rFactor 2 server list, you can access this way:

2. scroll down to "SRO" (it's alphabetical)
3. choose the correct server and Join with the password (see point 4 above)
4. the server will start automatically and will take you to the event




Last but not least ... SIMRACINGONLINE wishes you a great race!

so please be careful and respectful with your buddies.

DISCO PROTOCOL
To prevent the loss of drivers to an event due to mass-disconnections, Sim Racing Online introduces the following protocol.
(TeamSpeak INFO - go to TS channel rFactor 2)


ADDITIONAL INFO:
- A group of discos of 3 or more have to happen within a time zone of 5 minutes, otherwise they are viewed as separate incidents. For exemple ...
Driver 1 discos at the start, driver 2 after 15 minutes and driver 3 after 1 hour, those are separate incidents.
- The pits will remain open during a Full Course Yellow period.
- After a disco you can rejoin with a fresh vehicle : When you get back in session, your car is brand new, ready to start in Pits and you can use "Drive" to get back on track.
