    WELCOME TO ROUND 4 ANDERSTORP RACEWAY

    Anderstorp Raceway, previously known as Scandinavian Raceway, is a 4.025 km (2.501 mi) motorsport race track in Anderstorp (Gislaved Municipality), Sweden and the sole Nordic host of a Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, when the Swedish Grand Prix was held for six years between 1973 and 1978.

    Track history
    The track was built on marshlands in 1968 and became an extremely popular venue in the 1970s, just as Swede Ronnie Peterson was at the height of his career. It has a long straight (called Flight Straight, which is also used as an aircraft runway), as well as several banked corners, making car setup an engineering compromise. Unusually, the pit lane is located halfway round the lap.

    The raceway hosted six Formula One Swedish Grand Prix events in the 1970s. When Peterson and Gunnar Nilsson died during the 1978 Formula One season, public support for the event dried up and the Swedish Grand Prix came to an end. The circuit is also noteworthy because it was the site of the first and only win of two unconventional F1 cars: the six-wheeled Tyrrell P34 car in 1976 and the infamous Brabham 'fan car' in 1978.

    Anderstorp also hosted the Swedish motorcycle Grand Prix in 1971–1977 and 1981–1990, the European Touring Car Championship in 1985–1987, the Superbike World Championship in 1991 and 1993, and the FIA GT Championship in 2002 and 2003.

    In 1993, the circuit along with FIM organized a 24-hour motorcycle race. Just one week ahead of the race, an appeal was lodged against the permit for the competition, due to noise concerns. Although the organizers obtained permission to race on the morning of the event, "media had trumpeted that the competition was canceled. At the ferry berths in Skåne, passport staff turned away visitors from Denmark and the continent". During the race itself a heavy thunderstorm occurred, with torrential rain drowning the circuit. Although racing continued, no local or international audience showed up, and the circuit was forced to declare bankruptcy after the event.

    The FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) returned to Anderstorp in 2007, replacing the Istanbul Park in Turkey on the WTCC calendar. For the 2008 season however, it was replaced by the Imola Circuit.

    International motorsport was due to return to Anderstorp in 2020 with a round of the DTM.[2] Then, it was cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic.

    Drivers briefing


    1. Anderstorp conditions

    3) Cut Track points are set to 6
    4) 100% damage
    5) This event has a Formation lap with a standing start

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

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

    5. 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 under "Content and Settings" in the "My Profile" menu in rFactor 2.

    6. 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.

    7. 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 3 above)
    4. the server will start automatically and will take you to the event

    Well @Lorenzo Bettini was my man to beat tonight so race kind of ended at warmup when he lost ffb.
    Concentrated for a steady stint for tire study since not sure have i finished a race with these since 2018. Allthou @Nick Westy was chasing, and leading too, and kind of made me wonder did he pull a rabbit out of his hat compared to qualifying and practice times.
    I did manage to get horrible flatspots to fronts pretty early so was a shaky ride overall.
    Last lap of race was 1.32.3 and front tires were the lowest at 27 and 29% and all laps in 1.32 range except 2 under and 1 over so mission done.

    Lorenzo, you should map your FFB reset to a button (or keyboard), so if you loose FFB again, you can press that and it will be back.
    My FFB reset is "k".
