rFactor 2 Round 2 Buenos Aires Historic / Sun Sept 29, 2019

History

The circuit is located in a park in the southern part of the city, and is situated on flat lands surrounded by large grandstands, giving most spectators an excellent view area of the whole circuit. Some races were run without the twisty infield section, reducing lap times significantly.

The 1000 km Buenos Aires sports car event used the Autódromo as well as sections of highway situated near the track from 1954 to 1960. The 1000 km event would return again from 1970 to 1972, but using just the Autódromo section.

The 20 Formula One Argentine Grand Prix races were held in the Autódromo between 1953 and 1998. Formula One used a number of different configurations—the No.2 circuit was used from 1954–1960, the No.9 circuit was used from 1971–1973, and the very fast No.15 layout was used from 1974–1981 which added 2 long straights and a long third corner between the two straights often taken in top gear totally flat out, which provided an exciting view for spectators, especially when the cars exited the third corner often on the brink of spinning off or crashing at 305 km/h. Going through that section, the cars were flat out for 40 seconds. The Argentine Grand Prix was dropped from the 1982 calendar because of Argentina's invasion of the Falkland Islands and Carlos Reutemann's sudden retirement after the 1982 Brazilian Grand Prix. The twisty No.6 configuration was used from 1995–1998, but that version of the circuit was not popular with Formula One, and after the 1998 race there was no money for the race to be held and it was dropped.

Ten Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix race was held in the Autódromo between 1961 and 1999.

The Buenos Aires Grand Prix was held in the Autódromo from 1952 to 2009.

 

Demo race on this very, VERY, cool track
You can find a baseline setup in the "General info" thread of this series.

 

Servers UP !

 

LOLOLOL!!
In all fairness, there was no rubber build up at all when I tried it. We need a few more guys laying down rubber.

 

Hi Eck,
I just checked the server and Buenos Aires Historic is loaded as it should.
Can you please check if you installed the track through steam? I would un-install the current version you have and install the steam version we are using.
You can get it on the event page under the tab "Cars and track": https://www.simracingonline.co.uk/racing/eventinfo/980

 

This is correct .. The vmod for this event has ALL the remaining tracks included . so if you don't have one of the tracks the server will download it for you. so in your case you don't have the San Fran track so it wont let you in until you have all the tracks however with rf2 it starts the dl for you .. best if you get it from steam but if your going on the server and it starts a download just let it finish and your good to go ..
Now once you have the vmod you can also use it to practice for the next event as it has all 6 tracks ( minus round 1, 66' monza so realy only 5 tracks)

 

Ah, that's a shame.

 

Actually John this track has rubber files and I set it to HEAVY .. . It will increase as we drive tho ..lol

 

Race Day PW set on the Champ Page !

"Baby you can drive my car ...!!"

 

Thanks for the feedback Jerry. We will reconsider this as we don't want to make it difficult for members to join a race.

 

Nah, I spun and somebody hit me. I was in for a 110 second repair job, so they fixed that as well

 

I have manually put Johnny Gutierrez back in second place in the end results.
Being in second place, he had hit a wall going off track and that gave him a Stop & Go penalty. A track glitch. And then the track did not let him serve that penalty.
