    Not sure if I'm good enough to cope with these machines but signed up anyway, as I'm in red I won't nominate a car or team just yet but will sign onto the server to do some runs and see if I'm half decent. lol

    @John vd Geest you spoilsport! I was going to do a fictional Lamborghini F1 skin :D:p Totally understand the livery guidelines, no problem :)

    We hereby inform you that LiveRacers will be closing down from Monday 28th August due to commercial reasons.
    From that date on, you will not be able to view "Live Timing" anymore.

    Sim Racing Online is looking for a suitable replacement.

    Yes, I selected only DRS tracks where the DRS zones function.

    You can go in rF2 to configuration and key assignment and bind a key to "rear flap". Assign it to a button that you can reach easily with your thumb.
    In the car there is a DRS activation light. When DRS is available, it highlights green.

    Sorry to hear that. It was a useful service and will be missed.

    This car mod has no ERS function, only DRS. :)

    Noticing that there is only enough fuel for 34 laps on a race of 58 laps. The Strategy icon does not work with this car. What’s the deal on that?

    The tank can hold 148 litres in total.
    On the highest "Race" setting, I'm getting 2.37 litres per lap.
    We are doing 58 laps on Albert Park = 58 x 2.37 = 137.46 litres.
    So you have 10.54 litres to spare.

    Strategy icon:
    You can't re-fuel in Formula 1 because you have to go on 1 tank from start to finish, so that is why.
    (you can find other important details in post #1 of this thread).

    Are tyresets usable forced by the server?

    I tried that, but that doesn't work. Parkferme will force you to keep using the same tire compound that you initially chose. And we have to change in the race to different compounds.
    So no, tyre sets are not forced by the server.

    3 green light drivers still need to select a car form the list above.

    Hi Guys
    If you would like to see the full replay of all the races so far this year, in particular Australia, try
    Fullraces.com
    For everyone’s info the full race is replayed about 3 to 6 hours after the race ends. So if you don’t look at the sport news you get to watch the race the same day or whenever. It is an interesting site to explore for all types of races. Nascar, Indy, F1, F2 and F3 MotoGP etc.
    Cheers

    I think the server forces to be used C 2-3-4. At least It give me those tires, though I choose other sets.

    The server does not force anything with regard to the F1 mod. There is no park ferme of any kind :)
    Everything that is available for the mod is available on the server, including all tires.
