I try to avoid the straightforward stuff a few times each series

 

Correct. The wet track will carry over from Qual to Race. From testing the sessions (which everyone can do on the server by advancing the sessions), I noticed that it will also rain during warmup.
So, at the start of the race it will be dry, but the track will be wet for a few laps.

 

I've passed it on to the tech guys.

 

Drivers briefing

1. All 6 events of this series will be broadcasted
Broadcaster: Rob Milliken


2. Silverstone Conditions
1) The race will start at 02:00 PM (in-game time of course)
2) Time acceleration = normal. Fuel = normal / Tires = normal
3) Cut Track points are set to 6
4) 100% damage
5) This event has a standing start with a formation lap. Formation lap speed = ca. 120 km/h. The race starts when the pole-sitter crosses the start line.
6) This race has variable weather, see post #2.
7) Qualification is set to "private". That means that you will be alone on track so you can put in your best time without traffic (point 3 qual rule still applies).
8) YOU HAVE TO USE THE SAME CAR THROUGHOUT THE SERIES THAT YOU CHOOSE FOR YOUR FIRST EVENT.

3. 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:
- You run out of fuel in the pit lane before reaching your pit stall.

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.

4. You can find the password for the race server on the Silverstone event page.

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

6. Please use the SAME NAME in the rFactor 2 game as on our SRO signup list or it won't match in our automated result processing.
You can change your name in the rFactor 2 "Profile" menu.

7. 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.

8. You can find the server by typing SRO or the track name. Add the server to your favorites so you can always find it.
If you can't find the server in the rFactor 2 server list, you can access this way:
1. click on this link: https://simracepackages.lima-city.de/rF2server/
2. scroll down to "SRO" (it's alphabetical)
3. choose the correct server and Join with the password (see point 4 above)
4. the server will start automatically and will take you to the event




Last but not least ... SIMRACINGONLINE wishes you a great race!
