    EDIT: You do not need to buy the complete Endurance Pack for € 33,00 if you are only missing 1 or 2 cars from the car selection above.
    You can buy them individually in the Steam rFactor 2 shop.

    Use of the Esc key during Qualifying is the equivalent of stopping your car and getting out. This may be done only in your pit stall. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Here are the only two we will currently consider. These exceptions are subject to change at any time:
    1. You run out of fuel in pit lane before reaching your pit stall.
    2. You sustain damage to your car as a result of another driver and cannot make it back to your pit stall. You must prove your qualifying session was wrecked by another driver and that you made an attempt to return to pit lane.

    If you use the Esc key in any location other than your pit stall, your Qualifying session is over and you may not return to the track.

    If you use the Esc key on track and then leave pit lane again for an additional lap, you will be penalized in one of three ways:

    1. If the event is not part of a series or is a club event, you will be disqualified.
    2. If the event is part of a series, you must do a drive-through at the next event.
    3. If the event is part of a series and is the last event, you will be disqualified.

    Repeat offenders will be disqualified from series. This rule is clearly posted on every event page.

    DISCLAIMER: DRIVING PROTO-TYPES

    * If you choose to drive a proto-type in this series, you must realize and accept that in every race you will be held up several times per lap.
    * If you choose to drive a proto-type in this series, you have to respect every other driver on track in any class at any moment (even if you're fighting).
    * If you choose to drive a proto-type in this series, you must realize that the GTE class is your equal on track and does not need to get out of your way.
    * If you choose to drive a proto-type in this series, you must realize that the GTE class is the most difficult of all three classes because they are the slowest.

    If a proto-driver does not understand these rules of behaviour, he will be asked to move to the GTE class.

    Not sure what the others would think about this but would be nice to maybe have a race that starts at sunrise? So not complete darkness. Only because it’s the endurance series.

    Why always "always dry"?

    It's now a law that it has to be always dry. We can have a wet weather event. I will think about it. I will also take Andrew's remark into account.

    I don't understand the question. What do you mean?

    There is a selectable performance package also for P1 cars.
    Either real life or league. I dont really know what it really does, but there are 2 engines for these cars.

    Since there is no other LMP1 car than the Ginetta, you are free to choose. Everyone has the same engine options to choose from.
    As long as you take the standard Aero package and not the Le Mans Aero package.

    heads up guys being very close with the global endurance team who built the Ginetta i can answer any questions with regards to this mod and help also before this league starts i can revel there will be a 2nd lmp1 car coming very soon which will be free content also, the cars are used in the Global endurance series league so are well developed and tested and bop'd to be very equal on pace, this has shown in a the race where after 8 hours there still battles for position within the lmp1 field,

    the real life vs league option the league option is the bop'd package that we run in the league as we also have the Nagoya lmp1 mod available so technically 3 lmp1 cars available, id suggest just only allowing the same package for all in the class this will be a good series

    Good info Neil. I will test the Nagoya NG050 Hybrid LMP1.
    Why does the Nagoya NG050 Hybrid LMP1 only have 3 stars on Steam and the Ginetta 4 stars?
    Does the third LMP1 come out before January 9?

    Apparently it's not enough to subscribe to the Nagoya NG050 Hybrid LMP1 mod on Steam. You need to have additional content from their website.
    You also have to subscribe to their website first. This is getting too complex, so I'm gonna leave it. :)

    You can turn them off with your keyboard.
    No sure, but ABS = nr. 9, TC I forgot.
    You can also map them to your steering wheel and turn them off like that.

    Tried everything. ABS keeps working.

    The default key on your keyboard to activate / turn off ABS = 9
    But don't worry about it. When I set up the server in 1 week, ABS will be turned off. These cars don't have ABS.
