rFactor 2 Round 4 Istanbul Park - Sun Feb 20, 2022

Same thing happens to me, track remains soaked even after restart , not really a bad thing as I need more practice in the wet . But i think on race day if we want to start with a dry line the server needs to be shut down & then fired back up not simply restarted as the wet seems to carry over on restarts

 

Looks like the server is down? anyone seeing it? it was just there...?
Thx..

 

I had to take it down for a few minutes, but now it's up again.

 

Never mind they are back now

 

On raceday at 18:30 GMT the server will be re-started, so the rain doesn't carry over to the practise and qual session.

Drivers briefing

1. This event will be broadcasted
Broadcast team: EithaRacingTeam
Broadcasters: Nassim, Lorenzo & Sameer
Twitch broadcast link: www .twitch .tv/eitharacingteam (delete the spaces)

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. Istanbul Race Conditions
1) The race will start at 02:00 PM (in-game time of course)
2) Time acceleration is normal
3) The race will start without rain, but it will rain in the last 40% of the race.
4) In the first 60% of the race the temperature = 29 degrees.
5) In the last 40% of the race the temperature = 20 degrees.

4. The race starts with a formation lap. Right after leaving the last corner, we double file in qual order.
a. When the LMP2 pole-sitter crosses the start-line, the race begins for LMP2;
b. When the GTE pole-sitter crosses the start-line, the race begins for GTE.
(The LMP1 class has been close from Istanbul on. All the drivers from LMP1 have been transferred to LMP2)

5. We will hold a 5-second gap between the different classes on the formation lap. If there is trouble ahead on lap one, you have time to react to it.

6. Each class poll-sitter will do the formation lap approx. 120 km per hour.

7. The server password will be changed on race day. You can find the password for the race server on the Istanbul event page.

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

9. A kind reminder that you can not use the Le Mans Aero Package in this or any other event in this series.

10, You can find the server by first typing sro

11. 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.

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