WELCOME TO ROUND 3 AT SPA FRANCORSHAMPS (ENDURANCE)

The 2010 FIA GT1 Spa-Francorchamps round was an auto racing event held at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa, Belgium on 29–31 July. The Spa event was the fifth round of the 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship season. The FIA GT1 round was not the feature race of the weekend as it was a support series for the Spa 24 Hours along with the Cooper Tires British F3, and the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo.

Mandatory pitstop

This event has a mandatory pitstop to change all 4 tires, just like the official series.
The pitstop window is between 35 and 25 minutes to go.

 

Hi Caitlin, we are using the DLC from Studio 397.

 

DLC Spa is not for just 1 time. We use it on a regular basis
For example, we will also use it in a free F1 2022 Steam mod series starting in September. And we have used this track a few times before in the past.

 

Understood.
Please unregister for only that event, or you will be removed from the series as a no-show
Go to the Spa event and click "unregister".

 

Hi Lorenzo,
You first have to sign up for the series before you can see the password.
You can do that here.
The server is already up. Live timing is on top of the homepage.
There are also some setups for these cars in the "Car Setups" section on top of the homepage.

 

Pitstop Window

For the record:
Please note that you will be disqualified from the race if you fail to pit inside the pitstop window, which is between 35 and 25 minutes to go.
There is no margin. You will get a DQ even if you are 1 second early or late. This is just like it was in the real series which we are simulating.

 

The server has been updated to v1130.

Drivers briefing

1. This event will be broadcasted
Broadcast team: EithaRacingTeam
Broadcasters: Nassim, Lorenzo & Sameer
Twitch broadcast link: https://www . twitch . tv / eitharacing (delete the spaces)

2. The use of the Esc. key in Qualification
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.

3. Spa Francorshamps Conditions
1) The race will start at 02:00 PM (in-game time of course)
2) Time acceleration is normal
3) The race will be 100% dry
4) Cut Track points are set to 7

4. Formation lap and rolling start.
Right after leaving the last corner, we double file in qual order. When the pole-sitter crosses the start line, the race begins.

5. There is a mandatory PIT WINDOW to change all 4 tires between 35 and 25 minutes to go until the finish.
Even if you pitted before the pit window, you still have to pit during the pit window to change all 4 tires.
There is no margin. You will get a DQ even if you are 1 second early or late. This is just like it was in the real series which we are simulating.

6. The pole-sitter will do the formation lap approx. 120 km per hour.

7. The server password will be changed on race day. You can find the password for the race server on the Spa event page.

8. Unregistering in time if you can't make it.

9. No-shows (keeping the entry list real)
If a driver does not show without unregistering for that event or letting us know that he can't make it on the event forum, he will be removed from the series.
If he is no longer interested in the series, it's fine like it is.
If he forgot about the event, he can sign up for the series again.

(You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can unregister only for the event you can't do.)

10. You can find the server by first typing sro

11. Please use the same name in the rFactor 2 game as on our signup list or it won't match in our automated result processing.

12. Last but not least ... SIMRACINGONLINE wishes you a great race!
