    We will use the same official points scoring system as the WEC series.

    ****************************************************************

    Formation lap procedure

    How does each race start?
    1. The race starts by a formation lap and rolling start (that's why the race time is 92 minutes).
    2. From the second to last corner we go double file
    3. the pole-sitter holds a speed of ca. 120 km/h from that moment on.
    4. The race starts for everybody when the pole-sitter crosses the start line.

    ****************************************************************

    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.)

    ****************************************************************

    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.
    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).

    ****************************************************************

    Pole Position & Fastest Lap point

    1 extra point is awarded to Pole Position.
    1 extra point is awarded for the Fastest Lap in the race.

    ****************************************************************

    Your first car choice is your final choice

    The first car you choose is the car you will be driving the complete championship with.
    You can not change to a different manufacturer after that.

    ****************************************************************

    Teamspeak

    Teamspeak is one of the features of Sim Racing Online.
    If you would like to hook up with other drivers on Teamspeak before the race (or any time), here is the forum link for the SRO Teamspeak address and password:
    https://www.simracingonline.co.uk/threads/teamspeak-ip-address-password.19/

    For those who are not familiar with Teamspeak, you need to add the Sim Racing Online channel to your "bookmarks".


    Please consider making a small monthly donation between € 2 to € 5,- to help us with the monthly server costs.
    Remember that Sim Racing Online is run by a private group of people, paying everything out of their own pockets.

    Thanks in advance !! :)

    I just saw that Studio 397 has combined everything to do with endurance into 1 pack that will cost you € 42,--
    It's absurd to buy this whole pack.

    You can buy the cars you need for this series individually for € 5,-- a piece in the Steam rFactor 2 Store page.

    This is what you need
    GTE Aston Martin Vantage GTE
    GTE BMW M8 GTE
    GTE Corvette C7.R
    GTE Ferrari 488 GTE
    GTE Porsche 911 RSR

    Need some help building the signup list

    In order to get some more people owning the GTE pack into this series, I would greatly appreciate the help of all guys on this series signup list (any member of SRO really),
    to jump over to the Studio 397 online forum of this series and post a positive comment. The more comments there are, the more the series is noticed as interesting:

    Hi guys, do I have to write somewhere the car I choose or is it enough to enter the first race with the car and keep it throughout the championship?
     
  7. John vd Geest

    John vd Geest Administrator Staff Member Donator

    Yes, that is enough. Your first car choice is your declaration of the car you will be driving.

    All cars in my account but the server refused to download the car Porsche 2017 RSR so kicked me out. I have been racing RF2 since released, never race without problem and I think I am fed up with it.

    Sorry to hear you are experiencing problems Taner. The server is however in good running order. Let's check a few things:

    1. Can you please check that you are running v3.11 for all GTE cars.
    2. Are you on rF2 build v1130?
    3. Can you please remove any old SRO vmods.
    4. are you running a custom GTE skin? You can tell be it being v3.11 b. If so, please remove that custom skin and try again.

    It says many thing is missing the cars v.3.11. But funny thing is when I go to steam to reload the cars ( unfollow/follow ) ıt says this object is hidden. So there is no way to reload the cars.

    There is something strange. I cannot load DLC mods though uninstall in the game content menu. They describe there is a workshop line in featues of the game those dlcs available there to reinstall but that is not.

    So all of the GTE cars will not load for you, not just the Porsche?
    Unfortunately, it's not something that needs to be fixed on the server side. The server works correctly.
    Ken Jagger might know how to help you. He knows a lot about rFactor2 stuff. I will ask him and include you in the conversation.

    I deleted all contents that is allowed and also some files in rfm folder. I turned the 1126 v then back to latest. But there is no sign that dlc files downloaded.
    The first error is about Porsche says requires unknown base mod to install.
