Project Cars 2 SRO FKR GT3 Endurance Championship Series 1

Registration​

 

Welcome to the FKR GT3 Endurance Championship Series 1 !
​

This series is designed replicate GT3 racing in its pure form with 90 minute endurance style racing , series will include - mandatory pit stops - active weather -2 24h simulated races- free give away's & in the end will crown the 2018 FKR GT3 Endurance series 1 Champion !

As a special tribute to true endurance racing we will have 2 simulated 24 hr races (time accelerated 90 minute sessions) The first comes in round 3 on the US side of the globe at the iconic Road America , I Picked this track because when I drive it it just seems the perfect track for a 24 hr endurance race so now we will see but look at it ! , it has a bit of everything & its a longer lap so it just seemed like a good fit ,I hope you enjoy it or I hope its as good as I think it might be lol .. The second pick was easy 24 hrs of SPA ! look for fog & rain in this one, along with some sunshine .. it is spa . & we all know what happens at spa stays at spa .. (stuck in the gard rail ...)

All SRO rules will apply to this series ! If you have not familiarized yourself with the rules you can find them HERE!

Pit Stops: FKR GT3 series 1 rules require each car must make 1 mandatory pit stop with a 4 tire change . This may be done at any time during the race . failure to make a pit stop/4 tire change will result in a DQ /0 points for said event. ( i don't think you can make 90 min on 1 set anyway )

Weather: Expect some different conditions as the series moves along ,weather forecasts will be posted the week of the event for practice purposes but just to mix it up a bit we will have 2 races where one of the 4 weather slots will be set to RANDOM .. So be prepared for what ever the race gods throw at us .. (jfyi @ 90 min, each weather slot (4) is around 22 1/2 min )

Race Info: All races will have a standing start ! All drivers will be expected to execute a clean start meaning no dive bombing or abrupt lane changes , This does not mean you cannot take advantage of an opening it simply means use your head and do not force anything that might cause a wreck & get you a penalty .. refer to the rules under punting and such !

Points: Race Points: 25-20-17-15-12-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Free Random give Away: At no certain time during the series SRO will be awarding random drivers a free copy of Virtual Race Car Engineer ! so being on your best out there might just win you a free copy ! winners will be announced in the next events pre race !

All drivers are expected to know how the project cars 2 MP lobby works & understand about the 3 min cut off ...
You will also need a good understanding of how the pit stops work and learn how to adjust on the fly ! If anyone needs any help just ask !

Server settings : The server will be set up as realistically as possible but I believe for a better experience damage will be set to 'Performance Impacting' I do this for 2 reasons, 1. its a 90 min race + all the practice already put in .If a driver biffs it in the first few laps His car wont be totaled so he can get repairs and continue .. 2. If you hit hard you will need repair but you car will not expire so you pay for your mistake ..but not with the life of your car !..see the definition

Realistic driving aids will be on so you will have TC & ABS as per pc2 GT3 spec's

Also pit stop errors & mechanical failures will be ON !

Registration is now open ! we have 16 slots atm , lets see if we can fill it up

 

Yea !~! I will have my FKR@SRO server up periodically for practice during the week.. & we should make & join a steam group for the series as well !

 

Guys feel free to promote it wherever you feel it might have an impact. It doesn't just have to be done by SRO Admin's

 

I have it in the PC2 forum go make a post to bring it back up to the top !

You can 'save image as" and post the banner where ever you want to get some more eyes on it !
We currently have a 16 slot DS & would be great to fill it ! .. If we do go over I can grease the wheels a little & bump us up to a 24 slot server ..

 

This weekend I put the fkr server up with 15 min Q /7 lap races and cycled threw all the tracks for the event .. the very first session we had 5 drivers after the 15 min Q . then by race 2 we had 19 drivers and it pretty much stayed full for the next 3 hours !! I was hoping to snag a few more drivers this way .. It seems a lot of players simply like the open server quick race format .. This is something I will be doing up to the week of the race so keep your eyes open for the FKR @ SRO GT3 server !

 

Hi Dario !! glad to have you !! if you have any questions feel free to ask .. the site has a lot of things going on ! Check out the main forum page HERE for info ectt..

 

Good questions !
For this endurance series we will do the standing start with no form lap. (we have the 1.2 rule that we use for AC and sometimes rf2 or any time the series calls for a form lap) I'm not to keen on the in game rolling start in PC2 & AC does not give any options , rf2's form lap's actually work pretty good online .. So we have the option/rule in place where series hosts can decide during planning what type of start to use for the series ..

We have a TeamSpeak server & I recommend all drivers try to be on for races but its not mandatory … even if you don't have a mic its good to be able to hear what's going on .. TS server info is in the forums .

 

Once you have signed up for a championship you can find passwords on the championships event page . we use a standard PW that will get you on all the servers up until race day ,at that time the PW is changed and only drivers registered for that race will see the race day pw on the champ page . you can see on the page that the race server pw is still blank but the practice server pw is posted , remember that practice server pw, its always the same /.. (until we do a general change)
here is the event page for round 1@ Algarve https://www.simracingonline.co.uk/racing/eventinfo/614

You can get to all the champ events from the Championships tab on the upper tool bar up there ^ with the Home , live Timing (not avail for pc2) , Downloads , Media Tabs ect.. once you open the Championships page click on your series , then the event you want to see info for .. Also as a SRO member once you log some races you will have a driver ranking with all your stats even down to consistency in all your sim's .. clicking on a drivers name you can view there stats from the champ pages ..

 

ALL DRIVERS In order for the stats tracking software to work we all need to use are real names (Or what ever name you are signed up to the event with must match your in game name) NO NICKNAMES!

This is very simple to do , you simply change your steam name , (not your steam account name) steam allows you to use as many aliases as you want for your games
