    As for the track, also everything went smooth for me. Apart from find a Porsche spinning out of Eau Rouge, on the limit between on track and off track, and of course at that speed is a huge wreck begging to happen. Shame, as I coudnt finish the race.

    But if we get 25+ drivers for the race itself, Im sure most of the systems will be tested more severely...aswell as rF2 stability.

    Checked the brake pedal. It doesn't stick. The diagram goes up and down cleanly.
    Besides that, I compaired the track with other cars and don't have a problem. So I don't think it's the brake. Or I would get that all the time in all cars.

    On the Tuning options, before join the track.

    JvG, check to see if autobrake assist is turned on maybe?

    Maybe not the brake itself, but something on the system that is activating the brakes for some reason.
    Anyway, was just a guess, because you can hear cleary the brakes on, while trying to accelerate the car.
    Very strange problem.

    first time i felt it. was today in the race, one lap slowed and lost seconds, next lap slowed on a turn and ran wide then off.

    i have one complaint with these cars, they very soft, one small bump and car is damaged heavy.
    i dont see me finishing any races

    You also got a slow down?
    I'm gonna do some more testing on other tracks. Also with different mods.

    Can you precisely describe what happened and where on track ?

    Everything ran well for me. Sucks I wasnt able to join early enough to get a quali time in, but oh well.

    I noticed some small stutters on track, but it was with framerate, almost like slight screen tearing or something. Nothing at all with the cars slowing down and did not cause any problems for me at all.

    I really hope the track doesn't get changed as Spa is one of my favourite tracks and I am very much looking forward to a 32 car multi-class race there.

    I think we should seriously reconsider the 100% damage.
    Is way way too sensitive.
    Maybe drop this to 80% and see how it goes.
    At 100% some things that shoudnt matter are really damaging the cars.
    Is impossible not rub some doors with someone, with traffic, on those races...and that should be taken in consideration.

    I have to agree with this as well. I had some minor rubbing with a Porsche fairly early on and got a decent amount of body damage from it. I stayed out bit could tell it had an impact on my times. Another GTE league I run in has the damage set at 50% and it seems to work well.

    I am fine with 100% damage, you just have to be careful, but I wouldn't mind it be lower at 80% for example.
    However, I saw in the race log that several people ran ABS, I think this should be disabled as those cars don't have ABS.

    Regarding the track, there is always the option left to use the FormulaSimracing version, it is more or less they same but updated and improved in terms of performance in track cutting detection.

    You could run motec in the background and check if there was a brake input after it happened again. (Or sent me the file I can look at it if you have never used Motec before)

    Need more speed!

    No issues with track.

    Don't know what I did last night, but now I can run lap after lap without issue ... Live's a mystery.
    I'll let the track stay in, but there's something not right about it. If we all fall flat on our face on raceday, remember that you all said it was fine :p.
