    Yes this should be a good one !

    I just finished testing the settings in real time..

    Drivers make sure you are practiced in on the fly pit strategies !:D

    Tip: you must become familiar with the ICM (in car management)if you don't have it mapped by default (d-pad on g25-27-29) Find it and map all its functions , this is where you can adjust your pit stops while driving , you can change the tire types , fuel , adjust for damage .. and select from your saved pit strategies ..:)

    Yeah looking forward to this one, I will be tired after a night shift but fingers crossed I'll be ok :)

    I was tempted to say, lets make this a two hour mega-race but I will probably drop off at the wheel, lol :)

    Rob or Kenny will be able to help you with that when they come on the forum later.

    Do make sure you practice with the in car management system. Spa is quite good as you have some nice long sections to properly pick your options before pitting. So practice pit stops in a short race if possible. Get used to how everything works. On my fanatec wheel I have one of the joysticks setup to operate it.

    I know it’s obvious but make sure you practice in the dark, it’s amazing how different everything seems. We only have a middle sized field not fifty odd like the real thing so you will have moments where you are on your own and in the pitch black.

    If you like, practice the track using the hot lap challenge. That’ll help you get braking points right, lines into corners right. That sort of thing really helps. Especially against a ghost car.

    The one thing we’ve all had issues with though is track limits. So make sure you know where the limits are otherwise you’ll be getting penalties every lap. I speak from experience. Lol :)

    That's ok, I'm sure others will join in with any extra information that you may need.

    The only repeat problem I've had from a technical point of view is controller issues so I try and sign in early if I can.

    Day off tonight so I'm hoping to do some laps later on, fingers crossed! :)

    Welcome ! great to have you ! Good Info Andrew ! & one thing you MUST do is have your in game pc2 driver name match your SRO name just as it is in the forum ! At SRO we have a powerful stats tracking program that will follow you threw your on line career no matter what game it is ! For this to work we all use our sro member names ..
    Project cars 2 use's your STEAM aliases for your driver name or you gammer tag (not your steam account name) You need to edit your steam profile to change names for pc2 .. check it > steam name change.jpg

    Ummm I think the first step is a left click lol try until you get to the edit screen ..;-)

    I have a G27 so cant help you however in PC2 if you map the FFB sliders you can adjust them in the car as you go to get a good fit .. ..

    Hi Henri! Welcome aboard!
    Never practise on qualy setups. Just the one to race with less fuel. I'm on 24's at night full tank and softs. But still dunno about my strategy, lots of doors open with day/night and weather transitions.... :)

    I'll be sitting this one out again guys, unfortunate since this is one of my favourite tracks but i've still not had a chance to set everything up for pCARS with new PC since i've been really busy with work lately, once again good luck everyone and hope you all have a fantastic race! I should be back on form for the next race and look forward to trying to catch up :)

    Hope to have you back soon Dario :( ..
    Drivers don’t forget about the 3 min server cut off .
    Once the game clock hits the 3 min mark in any session the server is locked & you will not be able to join until the next session ! If the next session in Race you will not be able to get back in:confused: ...

    So as a rule never leave the server :D

    Well done to all those that finished. A complex race with a bit of everything. I enjoyed the wet but lost a bit too much time. It was only until it started to dry again I could make up some ground. Anyway. 4th was probably about the best I could hope for and I made very few mistakes so I’m happy :)

    I’ll put up some screens tomorrow if I get chance.
