ROUND 4 TRACK CHANGE TO BRANDS HATCH

There is a bug detected on this track by one of our members. You can not pit in ONLINE mod. The fuel and tyre service etc. does not activate.
I had only tested the pitstops in Offline but not online. Sorry to all that I missed that.

As a replacement, I have chosen a track that most of us will know: Brands Hatch, version 1986. So you can get up to speed pretty quick since the race is next Sunday.

The GT Revival mod has also been updated to v1.04 for all cars now.
The server is updated and Brands Hatch is online (and yes, I did test the pitstops and it works )

 

There has also been a V1.05 update. The server has been adjusted.

 

It should download automatically when you start up rF2.
Are you still subscribed to the mod in Steam? You can find the link in the upper right corner here.
Make sure you activate pending updates in rF2.

If nothing else works ...
1. unsubscribe from the entire GT Revival mod in Steam.
2. start rF2 to let it remove the mod.
3. close rF2 and subscribe to the mod again in Steam and start rF2 again.
4. the mod will be completely installed

2. Brands Hatch Conditions
1) The race will start at 02:00 PM (in-game time of course)
2) Time acceleration is normal. Fuel = 2x / This forces a pitstop. Tyres = 3x / The tyres give good grip, but are rock-hard on 1x and almost don't wear.
3) Cut Track points are set to 6
4) 100% damage
5) This event has a standing start without formation lap
6) This is a dry race
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) In race conditions the pitlane speed limit is also 400 km/h.
9) YOU HAVE TO USE THE SAME CAR THROUGHOUT THE SERIES THAT YOU CHOOSE FOR YOUR FIRST EVENT.
10) The mod is now on version V1.05

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 Brands Hatch 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!
And always remember that your fellow SRO members have also put in a lot of time practising for this race,
so please be careful and respectful with your buddies.
