Round 1 | Spa Francorchamps

I think at the 10 min 30 second mark call GTE's to queue at the end of the pit lane. Then go at the 10 minute mark.

 

I think you can prevent people entering during qualy. I agree with this would be nice especially as for some people their PC's are at the limits of performance running rFactor 2 DX11. Any drivers who miss qualy can enter during the warmup. With very large grids this could be a nice feature to have

 

Hi John...Just for info...Alexander was there but stated in chat that he had hardware issues/bad stuttering and that he had tno choice but to leave the server.

A very up & down race for me. The early part was going quite well, car felt good etc, until I was exiting Eau Rouge and got kit by an LMP2, Alex I think it was...so sorry for that Alex, just a misunderstanding I think, sadly I thought you were going to go to the right and make the pass hence why I moved over to the left. Found my rhythm again and started to push along, had a good fight with Simon for a few laps. The latter stage of the race I had Mark in my sights about 4 or 5 seconds up the road, closing here & there until I lost the car and fell back, then towards the end I decided for some reason unbeknown to me to crash....pitted for long repairs and came home 12th.

Grats to John for the GT3 win & Paulo for the LMP2 win.

Bret

thanks for the stream!
it may be better to move the stream to the first post

 

A few concerns about this.

Firstly, I really hope that this still means whatever car you pick for the next race is the car that you must remain in for the following races.

Secondly, this should have been decided on well beforehand. Lance and I would have ran the Porsche together and he wouldn't now have this issue where he is somehow not registered for the remaining races.

I understand the reasoning for opening the class up, but I also liked the idea of not having 16 of the same GTE cars on the grid.

 

John what about if once you drive a car that's you car for season. Alot of switching before season was confusing but now guys are locked in. Maybe if you miss or sitout a race then you can switch for next race so no one uses it as a advantage by picking best car for track or if we get a bop in next update and throws off the balance and guys all jump ship to fastest car .

 

Understood. I still think that drivers should be locked to their selected car (at start of next race) for the remainder of the season. Changing cars after the start of the next race should not be allowed under any circumstamces IMHO.

Happy to hear you are trying to sort out the issue for Lance. We appreciate that John!

 

I don't see how having people stick to their selected car is over complicating things.

Sure, we are all here for fun, but I'm sure there are a number of us who are also here to try and simulate real muti-class racing over a simulated season.

Impossible to appease everyone of course, but having drivers stick to their selected car shouldn't be considered complicated. The honor system will likely need to be used.

 

We will have to agree to disagree then I suppose lol. It is what it is and I won't get distraught over it, just would have been nice to have known this earlier. Maybe if a second season is done with the endurance pack we could allow drivers to pick whichever car they desire, but they are locked in for the season?
