    In this new multiclass series we will set the GTPC Prototype Group C2 and the GT Revival against each other.
    The GT Revival mod has been raced at SRO a few times already and is well-known.
    GTPC means: Grand Touring Prototype C.
    We are only using the Group C2 out of this mod, so you can ignore all the other cars that are listed.

    GT Revival mod:

    If you raced in the Porsche 917 & GT Revival series, you have to Un-install the Steam Series-Patch by Neil Wood.
    Go to the link SRO WSC70 and GT Revival Patch and click "Unsubscribe"
    After that the GT Revival version nr should read: GTR2.0 in Modmgr. Otherwise, unsubscribe from Neil's mod and unsubscribe from the complete GT Revival mod and subscribe again.

    There are 5 GTPC Group C2 cars in this mod:
    1. Alba AR2 = medium top speed, fast in corners, medium weight
    2. Lola T616 = medium top speed, fast in corners, medium weight
    3. Mazda 727C = light car, low top speed, short braking distance, fast through corners
    4. Rondea M379 = muscle car and heavy, high top speed, slower in corners and long braking distance
    5. Rondea M379C = muscle car and heavy, high top speed, slower in corners and long braking distance

    There is not enough room in the database for all the cars to download.
    You can download all the Group C2 cars you need below:
    Alba AR2
    Lola T616
    Mazda 727C
    Rondea M379
    Rondea M379C
    (included in the Mondeau M379 link)

    RULES & REGULATIONS - link

    We will use the points system of the WSC 1983 Championships for both classes:
    1 place = 20 Points
    2 = 15
    3 = 12
    4 = 10
    5 = 8
    6 = 6
    7 = 4
    8 = 3
    9 = 2
    10 = 1

    ****************************************************************

    Keep the same car for all events

    You have to keep the same car that you will drive at your first event for all other events.
    You can, however, change class from C2 to GTR or back.


    ****************************************************************
    Settings:

    Weather variable
    Fuel normal
    Tyres normal
    Damage 100%

    ****************************************************************
    Qualification

    We will use a different Qualification format for this series:
    Qualy will be 1 hour long starting at 18:00 GMT and ending at 19:00 GMT.
    In effect, we will use the time of the practice session as qualification. The time you set in this 1 hour determins your qual position.
    I will advance to warm-up at exactly 19:00 GMT. Take note of this if you're on track.
    For this series alone, you can press Esc. on track and go back out again.

    During this 1 hour qualy, you can leave the server and come back later, and your time will still be there (unless you changed cars).

    ****************************************************************
    How does each race start?

    Every event will have a rolling start by formation lap.
    Both pole sitters start the race when they exit the last corner.
    You can not overtake before you exit the last corner yourself.

    ****************************************************************
    Custom skins

    You can use custom skins for all cars in this series.

    ****************************************************************
    MIRRORS ADJUSTMENT

    If by adjusting the seat position, the (virtual) mirror goes totally off-centre, you can adjust it with these settings:

    ****************************************************************
    Teamspeak

    Teamspeak is one of the features of Sim Racing Online.
    If you would like to hook up with other drivers on Teamspeak before the race (or any time), here is the forum link for the SRO Teamspeak address and password:
    https://simracingonline.co.uk/threads/teamspeak-ip-address-password.19/

    For those who are not familiar with Teamspeak, you need to add the Sim Racing Online channel to your "bookmarks".

    I need to know how you came up with the idea of combining these two categories at the same time, John :D

    Apart from historical accuracy, they make a very good fit together. Only differs by ca. 10 years. And they look like a match on screen :)

    Does the track download automatically when joining the server? Or do we have to manually download it??
     
  6. John vd Geest

    John vd Geest Administrator Staff Member Donator

    I think it does download the track when you join the server, but you have to test that. I always have the tracks installed already.
    Are you having a problem with the SRO download?

    So far trackdownloading has been working on the times i have forgot the track.
    It is just super super slow that i would avoid it at all cost.

    Is the GT Revival class Goodwood edition, league edition, or either John
     
  10. John vd Geest

    John vd Geest Administrator Staff Member Donator

    Hi Phil, I couldn't separate the GTR League edition from Goodwood on the server. Goodwood keeps appearing as well. Doesn't matter. Pick the one you like best. It's the same choice for all.

    HEADS-UP

    Round 1 at Fuji 1968 is 2 weeks away and we need a few more drivers on the tracks. I'm hoping for 16+ so we can have some good racing.
    The cars and tracks are phenomenally good and the racing will be pretty exciting.

    If you like straight-on racing without BS, then give the cars a try, and I hope to see you on track!

    The track downloaded fine when joined the server.
    The cars and track are a great combo - I do hope you get a good turnout!
    Setting them up is a bit of a mystery though, have you got any basic pointers?
    Cheers.

    For which C2 car are you asking?

    As a general rule, don't make the car understeer. That also destroys the front tyres. The rear should be light and a little nervous, so you get a good turn-in. But it shouldn't be easy to oversteer. Play with the Diff/coasting and rear bump-rebound settings for coasting. Don't put too much brake power in the front. The front wheels should keep turning a little for grip. And set the gears up so you have a good, powerful exit out of corners. Generally, too short gears makes the car lose momentum in corner entry- and exit, and too long gears kill acceleration.

    I think it's the Mazda.
    Its oversteering more than understeering. Especially when braking hard and turning in to a corner.

    Don't have a set for Fuji68, but I tested the Mazda on Lime Rock Mountain:
