    Right now I'm thinking 28s will be competitive although I'm still miles away at the moment.

    The lap in the video seems odd, does a 26, misses several apexes and the car is super quick on the straights. There may be a setup trick I haven't found yet but are we sure it's the same mod?

    Well, if you want to know, he uploaded the setup in the description :)

    I was practicing and noticed no DRS zones? There must be some somewhere along this track. Any information guys?

    Edit: Fixed. Got to show the steering with the light lighting up. Yuck.

    Drivers briefing


    First of all ... Please make sure that you are in the 2023 car and NOT the 2022 car.

    1. All 7 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. Silverstone event 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) 100% damage
    5) You have to change to a different tire compound (soft/medium/hard) at least once during the race.
    6) This event has a Formation lap with a standing start

    3. Real F1 Raceday weather conditions apply
    We will simulate, as best as the server allows, the weather conditions as they were at the actual F1 event.

    4. Qualification procedure
    1) You do not have to start the race on the same tire that you qualify with.
    2) The Qual time will be 15 minutes in total.
    3) Chat is not allowed during Qual.

    5. 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 Silverstone event page.
    The race password will change 30 minutes before qualification.
    Check the driver / team list above to see what car you are assigned to.


    7. You can find the server by first typing sro


    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. 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!

    ON RACEDAY October 1, YOU HAVE TO CONFIRM THAT YOU WILL DRIVE

    You can confirm you will drive today in this thread.

    Green and red light drivers who do not confirm will be taken off the signup list.
    You have the whole day to confirm, UNTILL 17:00 GMT, 2 hours before qual starts at 19:00 GMT.

    I will notify the red light driver who has moved up to green in a private post that he/she can take a specific F1 car from a specific F1 team.

    The server password will be changed 1,5 hours before qual.

    Exception:
    You can of course unregister for a specific event in advance and join the series again in a later round.

    Johnny, I get an audible peep when I cross the start line for the DRS. There is also a marker and line on the track. The peep works best. I am like a Pavlov dog right on that button. :)

    Hi guys,
    There are no red lights anymore on the signup list, so there is no need to confirm for those who haven't.
