2022 IMSA Fastlane SportsCar Weekend

 

SERVER IS UP

 

Thanks Manuel, yes, there has been an update, but I need Ken Jagger for something.

 

Server is up again.

 

INDY 500

We realize that the Indy 500 will run on Sunday May 28.

If you decide to watch the Indy 500 instead of driving the Road America event, please unsubscribe from the signup list in time so the rest of us who will drive
know who will be there.

 

Hi Manuel,
The server is working correctly now.
As the message is speaking of missing content, I would double check if you have downloaded all the cars you do not own. Also check the version numbers of the cars.
All GT3's = v3.59 / Ligier = v1.19 / Oreca = v3.03
Also make sure you have the correct track version. The download link is on the event page.

Carlist:
(You don't need the BMW M6)

 

Fortunately, I can record the whole bloody thing on the media box of my provider and watch it later while I stuff myself

 

No dirty talk please ....!

 

WEATHER REPORT FOR SUNDAY, MAY 28 2023 ROAD AMERICA
The server will be set accordingly.

 

Drivers briefing

1. All 6 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. 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. Road America 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) This race has 100% damage
5) There is no mandatory pitstop
6) This event has a formation lap & rolling start. We drive the formation lap in double file in Qual order.
7) The GTD pole sitter will hold a 5 seconds gap to the last LMP2 on the formationlap.
8) When the LMP2 pole sitter crosses the start line, the race starts for the LMP2 field.
9) When the GTD pole sitter crosses the start line, the race starts for the GTD field.

4. TEAM SPEAK
Go to the specially created TeamSpeak channel called IMSA for the drivers briefing before QUAL and in WARM-UP.
The drivers briefing on the server before Qual and the Race, will only be done on TeamSpeak. You can find all the info in this thread below.
You don't have to talk if you don't want to, you only have to listen.
(If we disconnection before the race, than use TeamSpeak to let us know who is or is not back yet to start the race)

5. Raceday weather conditions
The server is set for real-world weather conditions.
Look for the weather conditions above in post #18.

6. Qualification procedure
1) The Qual time will be 20 minutes in total.
2) Only the LMP2 field will go out for the first 9 minutes. With 11 minutes to go, all LMP2s must finish their lap and hit the Escape key on conclusion.
3) Only the GTD field will go out for the last 9 minutes. With 9 minutes to go, all GTD cars can leave the pitlane until the end of Qual.
4) Chat is not allowed during Qual.

7. You can find the password for the race server on the Road America event page.

8. You can find the server by first typing sro

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

10. No-shows (keeping the entry list real)
If a driver does not show without unregistering for that event or letting us know that he can't make it on the event forum, he will be removed from the series.
If he is no longer interested in the series, it's fine like it is.
If he forgot about the event, he can sign up for the series again.

(You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can unregister only for the event you can't do.)

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. 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!
