WELCOME TO ROUND 2 - THE GRAND PRIX OF ROAD ATLANTA

Poll: Do you want 2 x tires & 2x fuel for this series?

Someone had a good idea to have 2 times tires and fuel for this series.
That will make for some cool strategy surprises. The race length will stay 90 minutes.

Please vote for YES or NO.

TRACK CHANGE

Long Beach has been updated since the last time SRO used it, and now it doesn't work anymore on the server.
The problem is know, and the server still crashes:
Update: 30 Jan @ 6:26pm
Version 2.35 - downgraded the sea and lake waves to stand textures, basically it could be what was making the server connection fails

I have changed this event to Road Atlanta 2022, which is also on the IMSA 2023 calendar.
You will find the change on the championship page.

 

Done John

The Le Mans Aero Package for LMP2

There is no rule against the use of the Le Mans Aero Package for the LMP2's in any of the events.
I know some drives will use it on certain tracks with long straights (like Road Atlanta). So use that knowledge to your advantage.

 

The server is back up again after the S397 v1133 update.

The HUD is certainly looking improved. Better than the old display.

 

Drivers briefing

1. All 6 events of this series will be broadcasted

Broadcast team: EithaRacingTeam
Broadcasters: Lorenzo, Sameer & Ricardo
Twitch broadcast link: https://www . twitch . tv / eitharacing (delete the spaces)
Or go to the headlines on top of the homepage on race day.

2. 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.

3. Road Atlanta Conditions
1) The race will start at 02:00 PM (in-game time of course)
2) Time acceleration is normal. Fuel and Tires are set to normal.
3) Cut Track points are set to 10

4. Qualification procedure
1) The Qual time will be 20 minutes in total.
2) Only the LMP2 field will go out for the first 9 minutes. On the 9-minute mark, all LMP2s must finish their lap and hit the Escape key on conclusion.

6. You can find the server by first typing sro

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

8. No-shows (keeping the entry list real)
If a driver does not show without unregistering for that event or letting us know that he can't make it on the event forum, he will be removed from the series.
If he is no longer interested in the series, it's fine like it is.
If he forgot about the event, he can sign up for the series again.

(You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can unregister only for the event you can't do.)

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. 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!
