    This round features a DLC track! You do not need to own the DLC to race on the track.
    However, you will need to wait for a host that owns the DLC to start the server then join as a client.. In other words, if the server shows empty and you try to join (host) without the DLC you will be kicked .. If you own it, you will be host ;)

    Q session will be 15 min to allow a 2nd lap! (un-less the "overtime" runs out)

    Hi Stephen, the race times here at SRO are always set in GMT. If you set your own time zone on your original membership sign-up the proper time will be displayed on your event page! under "Loacl Race Time"
    An example would be 19:00 GMT is 7 pm in Europe.

    Have a look on the event page, upper right side ..

    Here is what mine looks like in US> Pacific time

    Thanks, I completely missed the local time on that side banner.
    I can likely make that but it's middle of the day will have to play it by ear.

    The ridiculous AMS2 "invalid lap" thing is crazy, especially when you've screwed your lap up with a mistake and still had two wheels inside track limits. It's about time they did something about that "feature" :mad:.

    I got disconnected while waiting for the grid to form. A bit disappointing.
    This afternoon I also got a message from the practice server that I didn't have the required DLC's to enter the server.
    Rob, what could be the problem?

    Sorry guys. Arrived on grid to find my wheel and pedals must have 'disconnected' when the server reset. Nothing I could do.

    That was a good one, Neil. I'm glad I came back the second time.

    Grats Toni! Nobody saw him LOL!

    The physics of AMS2 are really good now. Very close to rF2. I had a blast with the VR headset.
    *******************************************

    I got a really good tip from streamer Gamermuscle for FFB that I'm really liking.

    Steps below:

    Go to your "C:\Users\"Username"\Documents\Automobilista 2" folder

    1. Backup original "ffb_custom_settings.txt" file
      Delete ALL code in the original file.
      Replace it with the red code below ONLY.
    ------
    NAME: Rack_Force

    (rack (/ arm_force M_max_force_at_rack))
    (output rack)
    (output (* output gain))
    (histogram output)

    -------

    1. Save and exit.

      Run the game.

      Go to settings \ Control \ Force Feedback setttings \ turn FX to "0".
    2. and set the FFB to "custom"

    Right? Man .. Toni was on fire! 7:24.771 fastest race lap! and also his average lap time 7:24.7 was almost identical! Grats Toni!!

    Thanks, everyone, for hanging around while we had to restart the server, after my server blunders ..:oops::rolleyes:..

    Looks like the results are a-ok & posted!

    I led one of the stats: I had the most cuts ;-) hah...

    My race was fun, even though I was off pace; those high-speed, long, twisting turns are amazing in this car! I could feel the downforce when hard on the throttle.
    I made it 4.5 of the 6 laps & put it into the fence, parked it & watched the last lap battle between Niel & JVD for 2nd! What a fight ! it was really cool to watch ...

    I was panicked by the tech start time delay & thought I might be late to work, on the first day back!
    But I made it :D

    Good fun guys .. Next is the Daytona Road Course, Rolex 24hr style in the C class!
