    Weather forecast Mogyoród, Pest County, Hungary
    It does look like it's going to rain next Sunday. I'll set up the server definitely next Friday.

    Does this track have the black raindrop bug? I haven't checked yet.

    Does the percentage in rF2 count for the amount/rate of rain rather than the probability?

    No black rain. I tried it off-line.
    The server settings let you choose the options: light rain, rain, heavy rain and storm. The percentage is indeed the probability of that happening.

    Final weather forecast for Sunday August 6
    I will set the server accordingly tonight.

    Drivers briefing


    1. All 6 events of this series will be broadcasted

    Broadcaster: Rob Milliken
    Broadcast channel: SimRacingOnline

    2. Hungaroring event Conditions
    1) The race will start at 02:00 PM (in-game time of course)
    2) Time acceleration is normal. Fuel and Tires are set to normal.
    3) Cut Track points are set to 10
    4) 100% damage
    5) There is no mandatory pitstop
    6) This event has a Formation lap with a standing start
    7) The duration of the race is 60 minutes

    3. Raceday weather conditions

    The server is set for real-world weather conditions as they are today August 6 at the Hungaroring.
    See post #7 above.

    Server settings for the race:
    First 80% of the race _ light rain_partly overcast
    Last 20% of the race _ drizzle_partly overcast

    4. Qualification procedure
    1) The Qual time will be 15 minutes in total with light rain.
    2) Chat is not allowed during Qual.

    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 Hungaroring 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!

    seriously, all simracinghub tracks (see Monaco and Red Bull ring)need to be looked at to adjust track limits settings for races. this gets a limits warning and potential penalty:

    takes the fun out of it.

    I cant join server, unable to download mod error even tho I have not changed anything since last round

    And at the same time... one of the fast left corner, mid track... you can go wide, all the way to the wall, without penalty.

    I would tend to say we shouldn't care that much... but the 2nd round at red bull ring... showed me how much it can be bothersome...

    Hi Barrett, you mean you got a track limit warning even though you have 2 wheels on the inside, as shown in the picture?
