rFactor 2 Round 1 Monza SRE

If you do the amount of practice that you did, it could create fear of a bad result because of all the time that you've put in. You have put more emphasis on what you have to lose than what you might win by all that practise. That's why you were nervous. You gave yourself a mental block. Next time at the start you should focus strongly on all the benefits that a good amount of practice gives you. You know ... like "I've got this!!" and believe it. Then you won't be distracted by negative thinking and doubt. Or take the simple approach like me by thinking "I'm here to have fun and it's just a game".

Anyway, here's my race report.
My main focus was on getting the braking and downshifts right so as not to create flat spots. And tire management was pretty good. After 30 minutes I still didn't have big vibrations.
But the tires were in the yellow. So I thought ... those guys in front of me are bound to get big tires problems at the end of the race. I'm going to pit at the 35-minute mark and overtake some guys at the end ... Well, that didn't happen LOL! They all drove to the end without stopping. But I would not have lost position by stopping, so it was a save gamble.

 

Btw, on the replay I saw a very strangs thing. After the second Lesmo, there was a car with extreme warp and teleporting. Created a huge accident also involving Mark Hightree and others. That sucks to be taken out like that on lap one.

 

You can find that in the standard HUD of rFactor 2. You have to map a button for it on your wheel. Then you can cycle through the options like tire wear, standings, oil temp ect.

The fee was for letting me win the next round

 

Oke, got the message LOL

 

Hi Rui,
That's something Ken has to decide because it's his series

 

In my opinion the RF2 re-join capability, for when you get a network disconnect or other issue (like I had), is a good feature to allow guys back in rather than lose out in being able to race completely. I personally didn't encounter any issues when others were re-joining after I had, so maybe it's not something that affects everyone? Can those affected please notify that here for further consideration.

 

Neither did I.

 

RF2 does not allow this

 

That was my first race in these cars and really enjoyed that one. Still a lot to learn. I ran the low downforce and finished 3 laps down. Yikes. Finally learned to stay off the curbs but couldn't completely avoid them so I went for a couple of spins. Apologies if I got in your way. I spun once in parabolica and when I got right three cars passed me on the outside and scared the crap out of me. Sorry dudes. And as John mentioned I got caught up in the first lap crashfest. But then I crashed later by myself and took off the front and rear wings. After all that I managed to finish the race. Nice size grid. Hope it's the same next race.
