General info & series rules

Welcome to the Porsche GT3 Cup challenge series
​

Background
The Porsche GT3 Cup is a "Race ready" car. There is little to adjust in the setup, but from the preload, wing, ride height, ARB, tire and brakes settings.
There is no Traction Control on this car. As a matter of fact, there is very little to help you control this beast. And to be perfectly honest ... compared to this GT3 Cup car,
the Porsche GT3 R feels like an arcades car. The FFB on the Cup car is excellent and the car physics are outstanding.

The default setup is VERY nervous, so you might want to tweak that a little, especially the camber settings which are too high.

Porsche builds the new 911 GT3 Cup on the same production line at the Porsche factory in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen as the road-going 911. At the Motorsport Centre in Weissach, the race car gets a basic set-up for the circuits and is taken through its paces by a professional race driver. The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is the world’s most-produced and best-selling race car, with well over 2,600 units manufactured since 1998.

The Porsche GT3 Cup is a DLC car from Studio 397: https://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/365960/detail/40/

How does each race start?
Formationlap, rolling.
The race is started by the pole sitter at the last corner of the track,
(except for the Nordschleife. Here the race is started by the pole sitter when leaving the GP track and entering the Nordschleife.)

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

No-shows
Entry adjustments will take place, meaning, if you are signed up for the series but have failed to race in 2 races in a row you will be removed from the entry list to allow room for other drivers. We also want to keep the list realistic on entry numbers.

If you can't make a race, please un-register from that event.
(You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can un-register only for the race 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).

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

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:

The length of the races has been re-set to 60 minutes.

 

Buying the Studio 397 Nordschleife is actually a good investment. It will be used many times. Not only here on SRO, but also where ever else you race.
And to make good use of your investment, the track will be used twice in this series. 1 x Nordschleife and 1 x the Nurburgring GP track.

 

Looks like it. And well sponsored too

 

Pretty cool man !! It's a looker.

 

You can get a few nice custom skins on the other site RD (rFactor 2/skins). I took the JUMBO one:

 

There is some very good info to be found on the Studio 397 forum about the Porsche Cup. Setup tips and otherwise.

That's a pretty car. Like the shiny chrome.

 

Also from RD. I like this skin even better. And look ... It's got my age on the door

 

Is it only rF2 Henri as I too have an ongoing freeze issue with a newish PC? I thought it was only rF2 to start with but then I see it happen with other sims and when just using WIN10 moving around the desktop or using other programs.
