WELCOME TO ROUND 1 PHILLIP ISLAND

Phillip Island is a DLC track made by Andrea1968.

I have entered into a collaboration with Andrea1968 and we made the following arrangements;
1. The normal prize for this track is € 5,00, but we get a league discount. So SRO members can get the track for only € 3,00
2. Andrea1968 gave the track download link to me, so I collect all the money and give it to him afterwards.
3. The download link is made specially for SRO as a version 1.4 so you can only get v1.4 from me.
4. Only members who actually bought the track can enter the race.

How do you get the download link?
1. First transfer € 3,00 through PayPal to my account: (ask me through: Start a new conversation)
2. Type your first and last name in the description and "Phillip Island"
3. Transfer it as a friend so I don't have to pay the Paypal commission.
4. Click on my Avatar on the left of this post and select "Start a new conversation"
5. Let me know that you bought the track and I will give you the download link.


ABOUT


The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is home to the world’s leading motorsport series including the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix and the Superbike World Championship, as well as various Australian series.

Motor racing on Phillip Island dates back to 1928 where local roads were cordoned off for racing events. The current site was purchased in 1952 by a group of local enthusiasts who would form Phillip Island Auto Racing Club (PIARC). A four-year build period would see the first event held in December 1956.
Over the following decades the circuit host a variety of events including the Armstrong 500 from 1960 – 1962 which would later move to Mount Panorama and become known as the Bathurst 1000.
Australia’s very first International Motorcycle Grand Prix was held at Phillip Island in 1989, proving to be a huge success and famously won by Aussie Wayne Gardner. The Superbike World Championship followed shortly after, moving to Phillip Island in 1990.
In 2004, Linfox Property Group purchased the circuit and has invested heavily into the venue securing it as a world-class destination.
The circuit hosts a number of public events annually and is hired year-round for a variety of activities including drive/ride days, testing, club sprints and media launches.
Situated in the heart of Australia’s premier motorsport destination, is the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit Visitor Centre & Go Karts offering a wide range of activities including Single & Tandem Go Karts, Guided Circuit Tours, History of Motorsport Display, Slot Cars and Race Simulators.
The picturesque 750m replica Phillip Island Go Kart track is situated alongside the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit overlooking Bass Strait and can accommodate group bookings of all sizes.


rFactor2 Andrea1968 Phillip Island

 

The server for Phillip Island will go up on Monday December 11.

 

This track does not have pre-rubbering. It's naturally progressing from green.
Be aware that Phillip Island is famous for being a tire-killer. Especially the right-front will take a beating.
This will be in favour of the smooth drivers.

 

Event notice

There appears to be an illegal track version floating around.
Phillip Island v1.4 was especially made for me and Sim Racing Online by track developer Andrea68.
It can only be bought from me.

Please understand that I can only let people join the Phillips Island event if they have bought this DLC track (see post #1). You have time to buy it untill January 14.
I will check the signup list 1 hour before qual starts. If you are on the list but have not bought the track from me, then I'm afraid I have to remove you.

WHY?

DLC Phillip Island is € 3,00 x the members on the signuplist that I have to pay to Andrea68 (the track developer) afterwards. I'm the collector.
That means that if 30 members have signed up, I have to pay Andrea68 € 90,00 afterwards.
So I can't let members race who have not bought the track from me, otherwise I have to pay for it out of my own pocket .
Thanks for your understanding.

 

Hi Mark,
I would also recommend that you keep an eye on rear tire temps. As you know, spinning the rear tires (accelerating out of corners) also leads to a loss of grip and can lead to power-oversteer. I've had that with this mod more than I would like to admit. The power has to come in progressively.

 

Choosing your tires for the whole weekend

In the car selection / customization menu:
With the option Supersoft/Hard, you can choose between the two for the whole weekend, including the race. So you can qualify with Supersoft and race with Hard.
That is a free choice for everyone. I'm also letting the Diff to be adjustable (in "Final").

 

Quick reminder
The following drivers have not bought the Phillip Island track yet:

3. 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 Phillip Island event page.

7. You can find the server by typing SRO or the track name. Add the server to your favorites so you can always find it.

8. Unregistering in time if you can't make it.

9. 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.

10. Drivers on the signup list who have not bought the track Phillip Island 1 hour before Qual, will be removed from the list.
See post #1 of this thread.

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!
