You don't need the Ferrari 70th Anniversary Pack for this event. Only the GPL mod.

Bremgarten is the latest track from Fat Alfie. We will be driving the bonus car Lotus 33 from the Assetto Corsa GPL pack.

Notes from Fat Alfie:
Bremgarten was a true road course set in stunning countryside, running through a public park just north of the capital. Both fast and dangerous, the track blasted through forest roads and was comprised of no real straights, more kinks between bends and sweeping corners. It was described as having 13 corners, but in reality it had around 25 changes in direction. The track measured 7.28km (4.25 miles) of a clockwise rough oval. The start/finish was on a gently right-curving stretch of road, just north of the main rail line, and the heart of the city. A somewhat sharp right took the track north past a quarry and into the forest. A rather jagged straight ended about 100 meters short of the River Aare, where the track took two more fairly sharp rights. This led onto a long gentle arc over a couple of low hills, and back down towards the city. The sharpest bend on the track (Forsthaus) turned the cars right again, back onto the cobble stones, past the pits and start/finish.

The track had no run-off and the surface was changeable. Post war there was great joy as the French great Jean-Pierre Wimille won in 1947 but the 1948 event was a tragic affair when Italian legend Achille Varzi was killed before the race in a practice accident. The race was packed with incident too, Maurice Trintignant was thrown from his car when he spun and lay unconscious in the road. Nino Farina, Prince Bira and Robert Manzon were forced to crash in avoidance of is body. He was declared dead at hospital but after lying in a coma for 8 days, Trintignant pulled through. Not so lucky was Christian Kautz who had a fatal accident of his own.

No Esc. on track rule in Qualification
In qualification, you can not press Escape (Esc.) while on track (if you crash) and then go back out again.
(Except for the Nordschleife, because it takes too long to drive to the pits and start again. There you can press Esc.)
If you want to do another run, you have to come into the pits first.

This is to protect the other drivers from someone taking abnormal risks to set a good lap time and crashing (other cars).

I know that Fat Alfie updated this track, but I'm going to wait until it's a week to event day before putting the latest version on the server. Otherwise I have to do it over and over again until he's finished . Meanwhile we can practise on version 1.0.

 

The signups aren't going as fast as I thought.
I'm thinking of lowering the duration of the race from 60 to 45 minutes. Are there objections?

 

Oooohhh right ... I forgot to update the calendar
Have done so now. Thanks.

The rFactor 2 DTM 1991 then also wasn't updated.
Check it out. I think you will like the mod. 60 minutes races and .... the Nordschleife.
DTM 1991

 

I have officially changed the race length to 45 minutes.

 

The inspiration was that I was very impressed by this track from Fat Alfie. He spend a lot of time making it as true to life as possible.
If you compare it to the old AC Bremgarten, this is so much better.

 

There is only the 1 car for this event: Lotus 33.
Or did you mean the DTM mod?

 

No, no need to buy that pack. We only need the Lotus 33 bonus car in the pack.
The Ferrari pack is for when you use the Ferrari 67 from that mod.

 

Track update

Bremgarten has been updated to version 1.01.
Please test if you can get on the server.

As long as you have something going that lets you detect cars around you, it's fine
