rFactor 2 Round 2 Grand Prix Der Sachsenring 1967 - Thu Mar 12, 2026

Difficulty does not always equal realism. The cars would not want to kill a driver almost every single lap.

Edit: There are basically no options to make the car softer? I'm already running minimum bumps + rebounds.

 

No prob, Matias. I figured it was something like that. Sorry you couldn’t continue. Always a pleasure to share virtual tarmac with you.

I didn't expect to come out of the start in front of everyone
My strategy was basically to let Toni and Maddie go at the start so that I could find my rhythm calmly, but I ended up with these two rockets behind me. I knew I couldn't be as fast as them, but I'm very happy to have been able to hold on to third place until the end of the race.
I had a few big scares on the bumps in the last sector, but I managed to stay on the track!
As Maddie said, it's true that the cars' behaviour is very difficult to understand on the bumps. But it's always very satisfying to finish a lap without a scratch.

 

I got a clean lap for qually then had contact at the start and was able to keep going. Eventually I caught up with Romain and had some good fun the rest of the race. I was able to keep his hopes up with a couple spins late, and finally buckled down to the end. What with track evolution, minor damage, and building confidence, my later laps included a pb. On to Dundrod!

 

After a horrible qualifying session on my side, with track limits all the time and laps that were not very fast, I got a good start. However, I probably did about 1206 spins and I can confirm that the Cooper is extremely solid. Luckily, I managed to cross the finish line, which was clearly my objective for this race. These combos are so unusual that it’s a real pleasure to try to drive them every time.

 

Q wasnt the best, think was squeezing the wheel too much.
R went great and had a marvelous stint my mantra beeing " brake early and easy and relax them hands".
I really find these combos fun. Enjoy the car on edge on fast parts where you know that the smallest of mistake is the end.
Its all in the weight transfer, wheels straight where it matters and do everything smooth. And have the right amount of gas pedal pressed.
You are on a scary ride and not the driver for most part of the track.
