SIGNUP & EVENT INFO


WELCOME TO ROUND 3 SILVERSTONE GP


Mercedes AMG GT3 Silverstone GP POV
(there is no real footage of a Porsche GT3 Cup 992 at Silverstone that's useful)

 

That is correct.

 

Good explanation, although I have never had the issue that I was stuck in 4th gear.
@Michael, because you can't shift down with even a little bit of throttle on, you might also want to check if your gas pedal isn't "spiking" a little. Then you have to clean the potentiometer.

 

Check. Best wishes!

5. 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.

6. You can find the password for the race server on the Silverstone event page.

7. You can find the server by first typing sro

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. 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.

11. If you plan to PROTEST another driver, you have to wait 24 hours counting from the end of the race.
Any protest filed before that time will be viewed as not received. You can find the rules about submitting a protest here.

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