rFactor 2 Round 1 Townsville - Sat Sep 23, 2023

Just a heads up to anyone doing some practice. The pit speed limit is 25MPH !!! You can very easily exceed this just pulling out of your pit stall.

 

Oh yeah I meant ask admins.... can you override with rfm to about 60mph please?

 

oh snap. going to be many drive thru's
I couldn't understand why i was getting penalties untill I saw the 40kph in the corner of the screen

 

yep, 40kph or 25mph, which ever one you use.

The car does not have a limiter so you have to hold the speed manually.

pit lane exit is the big white line on the exit opening.

Pit lane entry is a yellow line just before the left turn into the armco lane.

2 drive thru's, a stopngo_10 and a stopngo_30 before I found any of that out.

 

Any one have any lap times so far?
i know ill be at the back of the grid, hope to keep up with a group of lads for a fun race

 

1:13.9 best with qualifying fuel load. High 1:14's race pace. Tire deg could be an issue.

 

many thanks.
yes, I was seeing tires can fall off, but also looked after.
Gonna be a great series

 

Hmmmm, there was a league in these cars on Race Department many years ago.....I wasn't very good. haha.

I may give it another chance anyway and see how we go. Single seaters are not normally my thing but I have a lot more experience in setups on RF2 now so I may be better.

Interesting circuit choices.

 

Good racing guys. Could feel Toni and the rest of the guys ready to pounce if I crapped up. Held my breath and hoped for a good result.

On another note. Did anyone have issues with stuttering when drivers leave the server? I've had issues in other races. This time I checked how much time was lost every time a person leaves the server. It's exactly one second per person leaving. So scary. Don't have replays on. Any other recommendations?

If you could John post a replay of the race. I'm trying to figure this stuttering out and maybe it's not even replays. Might turn them back on. Thank you bud.

 

Apologies at the start. Three wide and I caught wheels with the car on my right which pushed me left into another car.

Did ok, but not sure if I’ll continue, the car slides a lot and for me and it’s not too fun to drive. We’ll see.

congrats to the winners

 

I had the same, I was thinking at the time, maybe we should all stay on the server if we've crashed out or DNF.

Good race all, really enjoyed it, changed my race set at the last min, and forgot to knock the rad back from 100%. Engine died ten mins from the end.. grats podium and all the finished.

 

Mine, damn it I've been out of F cars too long.

Sorry Paul, we were running great P2-4 and I go and make a Noob mistake and get fixated on your tail pipe and miss the 100 board into the first corner.

So out of practice I panicked and locked the front up.

 

Yeah, you caught me by surprise alright. Me, you and Toni were running great!

I pitted to get the repairs done, but they didn't get fixed. I don't think I had the pit request button mapped or something. I went to map a button in the menu, but then I was down as a DNF.

I don't play rFactor 2 much.

Oh well

 

Thanks Guys for a great race.

Was alot of struggles for me.
While trying to log in and practice Steam would kick me off and ask me to log in again.
Not sure whats going on there.
but it plagued me all the the way to pre race warmup.
Thankfully no steam interruptions during race.

Started race at back.
got clipped by a car trying to rejoin track and had to pit to repair damage.
After that is was a lonely race just keeping it on the black stuff.
finish P 10 from p17 start so all good.
