rFactor 2 Round 1 Targa Florio TT - Sat Apr 27, 2024

Slow or tight corners are marked with a black and white warning sign. Just like it was on the real track. That should make you cautious.
A fast lap is done below 40 minutes.

 

My experience on different sim versions of this same track (converted) is that there are some black/white markers for some slower corners, but then they are missing for others. Also some of those marked aren't always as slow as they indicate. No easy way to mark them out due to the track length unfortunately.
Still it's a lot of fun to drive when you get in a rhythm and looks good too

The track still counts the outlap- and the inlap, that is why the total laps are set to 5.

Sorry guys, I made 2 mistakes setting up the server.
1. I thought I had set it to "private" qual. Which I didn't do.
2. I didn't realize that the game expects you to do the in-lap i.e. the 6th lap. I should have set the server to 6 laps. That only gave us 1 timed lap.
Lesson learned. It turned out to be a shoot-out Time Trail of 1 lap.

I hope you have a little patience with me, as this is the first time I'm doing this format.
I know what to do now

 

TT Report.

First I nearly shat myself when Phil Brown passed me because I thought I was alone on track and I had my mirrors off.
After that I was doing great, until I made a little mistake and ended in a deep ditch that I could hardly get out of.
As faith would have it, when I finally did get out with a stab at the throttle, I nearly T-boned Phil Brown. I can't believe that timing ...

Grats to Robin Taylor. He did it the best haha. Well done bro!
